Concerning Mr. Clemens's politics:
September 14, 1976 Samuel Clemens wrote to W.D. Howells:
"...It seems odd to find myself interested in an election. I never was
before. And I can't seem to get over my repugnance to reading or
thinking about politics, yet. But in truth I care little about any
party's politics - the man behind it is the important thing.
I will not, and do not, believe that there is a possibility of Hayes's
defeat, but I want the victory to be sweeping ...
