The Writings of Carl Schurz/To Grover Cleveland, November 9th, 1892

TO PRESIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND

Pocantico Hills, Nov. 9 [1892].

Accept my joyful congratulations. You have great reason to be proud of the result. Next to the justice of your cause it was your personal character, commanding the confidence of the people beyond the boundaries of the party, that made such a result possible. Your triumph is a glorious victory over the most dangerous tendencies in our political life. Let us rejoice.

Present my most respectful regards to Mrs. Cleveland and believe me

Sincerely yours.
