Vances Senate Speech and Great American Joker Episode
The Senate considered the 1880 government appropriations bill when Z B Vance spoke at length critiquing the Democratic party’s postwar record. He used anecdotes and scripture, ending with a rest theme and questioning whether 1864 rested the nation. The Bakersville Republican notes a parallel tale about a vast Grondin wheat farm near Fargo, Dakota, with 40,000 acres, stock and grain storage, and large harvest labor.
