The Hermit and a Political Speech in Milwaukee
Read as a fragment of a longer miscellany the piece contrasts a reclusive hermit with a fiery speech by Carl Schurz at a Republican celebration in Milwaukee. It frames the hermit as morally perceptive yet isolated and extols political virtue, independence, and moral reform within the Republican cause while denouncing Democratic despotism and party loyalty.
