Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Men and Issues of '92, a Grand National Portrait Gallery Containing Photographs of Leading Men of All Parties: With a Full and Fair Presentation of the Great National Questions of the Day
A national election in a Republic of forty-four States, embracing well nigh freemen, is imposing as a spectacle and momentous as an event. All the world looks upon it with curious eyes and anxiously awaits its results.
In the almost magical evolution of new ideas and in the bewildering whirl of events which characterize American progress, a short four-year term of political administration serves to fix the date, if it does not establish the necessity, for a grand National audit.
The questions which spring spontaneously from a rich loam of thought, or which grow and shape under the gar dening hand of statesmen, organizations and political par ties, and which do not, or cannot, find solution in regular legislation, are naturally and properly crowded over into the campaign year. They are carried, as it were, by popular appeal into the high court of the people, where final hearing and arbitrament is sought as in a tribunal of last resort.
