Hoar, George Frisbie, 1826-1904

"Autobiography of Seventy Years, Vol. 1-2"

Many of those immigrants had gone from Worcester
County, where the Emigrants' Aid Society was first devised
by Edward Hale and organized by Eli Thayer. I met him again
when I went to Washington in 1869. I found him among the
foremost of the leaders of the Senate. He had gone through
the great period of the Civil War, and the period before the
Civil War. He had stood by Lincoln in that time of trouble.
He had stood firm as a rock for the financial integrity of
the country. Afterward it was my good fortune to know a good
deal of his administration of the great Department of the
Interior. I have never known, or known of, a better administration
of any Department from the beginning of the Government, than
his of that great office, with its eight important bureaus.
"He brings to you to-night the news from Maine and the news
from Ohio. He can tell you what the Republicans are thinking
of and are doing all over the country, as they prepare themselves
for the great contest beginning this year, to end, as we hope
and believe, with a great Republican victory in 1880.
