John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 27: administration of President Hayes begins a new era (search)
Dana contended that all Democrats who could not for any reason vote for Cleveland, and all Republicans who would not on account of his unfortunate record vote for Blaine, could with entire propriety vote for Butler, both as a man to be immensely preferred to either of the others, and as a protest against such nominations. Having already declared in the columns of his newspaper that sooner than join in making James G. Blaine President of the United States, he would quit work, burn his pen, and leave to other and perhaps rasher heads the noble controversies of politics and the defence of popular self-government, and having opposed the nomination of Cl every relation of life. It will not be forgotten that Dana had been severely criticised for the part he took in the presidential campaign in which Cleveland, Blaine, and Butler were the candidates. He had been charged with inconsistency, with levity, and even with insincerity; but at the death of General Butler, which occurr

red more poems, for he lived to be eighty-five, and he composed until the last. But his creative period was now over. He rejoiced in the friendly recognition of his work that came to him from every section of a reunited country. His personal friends were loyal in their devotion. He followed the intricacies of American politics with the keen zest of a veteran in that game, for in his time he had made and unmade governors and senators. The greatest politician I have ever met, said James G. Blaine, who had certainly met many. He had an income from his poems far in excess of his needs, but retained the absolute simplicity of his earlier habits. When his publishers first proposed the notable public dinner in honor of his seventieth birthday he demurred, explaining to a member of his family that he did not want the bother of buying a new pair of pants --a petty anecdote, but somehow refreshing. So the rustic, shrewd, gentle old man waited for the end. He had known what it means t

To these were added the names of many private citizens of distinction, such as George Bancroft, Robert C. Winthrop, James G. Blaine, and Frederick Douglass. In that same year (1887) a companion tribute came in more concentrated form across the ocean. In 1887, Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, generously offered to defray the expense of a Milton memorial window in St. Margaret's Church, London. The offer was accepted, and in October of that year, Archdeacon Frederick W. Farrar wrote to him as follows:-- The Milton window is making good progress. It will be, I hope, magnificently beautiful, and both in

April 21, 1862. Works, vol. VI. pp. 148, 149. Mr. Blaine, while exonerating Sumner fully from responsibility for General Stone's confinement, and condemning the latter's letter as ill tempered and abusive, treats at length the injustice done him by a long confinement without cause made known to him or ever found to exist. (Twenty Years in Congress, vol. i. pp. 381-395.) Mr. Blaine says: Aside from Mr. Sumner's public denial on the floor of the Senate,—which of itself closed the issue,—he was never known to be guilty of an act of revenge; that passion belongs to meaner natures. Later in the session he recurred at length to the unfriendly conduct of certain army officers towards fugitive slaves. May 1, 1862. Works, vol. VI. pp. 489-498.
