Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Republican Manual: History, Principles, Early Leaders, Achievements, of the Republican Party; With Biographical Sketches
The purpose Of this work is to describe very brie?y the origin, rise, and growth of the Republican Party, its great achievements in moulding public opinion, and its important work of administration and legislation. Since the party Was formed, a new generation Of voters has come upon the stage of political ac tion, ' to whom its early history is little more than a tradition. A brief resume. Of that history must be interesting and instructive to these young Republicans who have taken up its work and are to carry it on after all its founders have passed away, and the Older members of the party can hardly fail to find some pleasure and profit in reviewing the story Of its organization and victories. NO party ever had such a record. It has freed forir millions Of slaves it has suppressed the most formidable rebellion the world ever saw; it has preserved and strength ened the credit of the nation it has conferred equal rights Of suffrage and citizenship upon all the inhabitants Of this Repub lic, and it has administered the Government for twenty years with signal fidelity, honor, and intelligence. Within the com pass Of'a work so limited as this, it is not possible to go into many interesting details concerning the career of this great his toric party. Very little can be said about its action in State campaigns and its position upon State issues. Its history as a national organization alone is dealt with in the following pages, and that, too, in as condensed a form as is consistent with the presentation Of all important facts.
