Excerpt from The Republican Party and Its Leaders: A History of the Party From Its Beginning to the Present Time; Men and Measures That Have Controlled the Country's Destiny; Lives of Harrison and Reid Since 1860 the Republican party has held the control of the govern ment, with the exception of a single presidential term of four years, when a Democrat was elected to the office of chief magistrate of the nation. It is a curious circumstance that the election of Mr. Cleve land, in 1884, was due to the advantage taken of an ill-timed remark of less than a dozen words by one of his political opponents. And not to arguments in his behalf in open debate or through the columns of the newspapers. But this accidental interruption of its career through the lingual aberration of a bystander at a reception served to demon strate more clearly than ever the great services which the Republican party had rendered to the country, as it enabled the younger class of voters to contrast its methods and its policies with those of its political adversaries. At the next presidential election the Democratic candi dates were overwhelmingly defeated, and the Republicans returned to the control of the destinies of the nation, to the chagrin of the Democracy, and also of its numerous friends and supporters on the other side of the Atlantic, the enemies of American industry and prosperity.
