Excerpt from Bryan or Imperialism: Address by the Hon. George S. Boutwell, Delivered at the National Liberty Congress of Anti-Imperialists at Indianapolis, Ind., August 15-16, 1900 How is this to be done? 1 have no disguises. In my youth I turned aside and left the old Democratic party when it surrendered itself to slavery. I leave the Republi can party in my age, now that it has surrendered itself to imperialism and tyranny. I helped to create the Republi can party because I believed it was a party of justice and libcity and honesty I now believe that it is a party of injustice and of despotism, and I will help to destroy it. And how? There is but one available means. You know what it is. Then President Lincoln thought that a change in the command of the army was necessary he placed Fighting Joe Hooker at the head of the Army of the Potomac, and he wrote to him thus I have heard that you have said that I ought to proclaim myself Dic tator. I have not appointed you to the command of the Army of the Potomac because of that remark, but in spite of it. He thought that Hooker could command the Army of the Potomac and so aid more than any one else in the suppression of the Rebellion, and he ever looked the words of the hero of many battles.
