Republicans Held

Famous quotes containing the words republicans and/or held:

“If a liberal policy towards the late Rebels is adopted, the ultra Republicans are opposed to it; if the colored people are honored, the extremists of the other wing cry out against it. I suspect I am right in both cases.”

Or buzzed impetuously as before;
One would have thought the corpse was held a slave
To living by the life it bore!”
