Author Description

Excerpt from Six Speeches Eli Thayer sat in the State Capitol and thought the whole thing out. He caught the spirit of the hour, and conceived the magic plan that was to bring order out of chaos, dissipate the fears of the lovers of freedom, and rescue a young State from the curse, whose dark shadow was then passing Over its plains. On the instant, he made known his plan. By many it was lightly thought of, be cause it was so simple. Others would rather wait to see how it was likely to work. The doubters were as plenty as they always are at such times. But Mr. Thayer possessed awonderful power of work, and, as an English man would say, work generally accomplishes the end sought for.
