William Jennings Bryan speech to the Democratic Convention in 1898: The preface, in part, from History MAtters (web site):
. . . The thirty-six-year-old former Congressman from Nebraska aspired to be the Democratic nominee for president, and he had been skillfully, but quietly, building support for himself among the delegates. His dramatic speaking style and rhetoric roused the crowd to a frenzy. The response, wrote one reporter, came like one great burst of artillery. Men and women screamed and waved their hats and canes. Some, wrote another reporter, like demented things, divested themselves of their coats and flung them high in the air. . . . I didn't vote for him either but I wish all of us a lot of luck. -----Original Message----- From: Shearon, Tim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sun 1/18/2009 7:39 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: RE: [tips] cohesiveness in D.C. Paul- I'll consider sainthood if he (they!) manages to get the economy turned around! :) It still troubles me that for one of our political factions/parties to be "happy" the other has to be so abjectly miserable!! That the divide often seems so deep we can't even speak over it or past it. I do understand the psychology of it- perhaps that's what makes it all the more troubling.
