 To the man who pardoned the Haymarket Martyrs, who stood up to Cleveland's sending in Federal troops, and helped(with William Jennings Bryan) to create the modern Democratic Party.As Vachel Lindsay wrote about you."Where are those lovers of yours, on what name do they call. The lost, that in armies wept over your funeral pall?They call on the names of a hundred high-valiant ones,A hundred white eagles have risen, the sons of your sons,The zeal in their wings is a zeal that your dreaming began,The valor that wore out your soul in the service of man....Sleep on, O brave-hearted, O wise man, that kindled the flame--To live in mankind is far more than to live in a name.To live in mankind, far,far more...than to live in a name."- J.
