About this film

LibriVox recording of Twenty Years of the Republic 1885-1905 by Harry Thurston Peck. Read in English by Celine Major Excerpt: At the time when Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated there had been no Democratic President for a full quarter of a century. A whole generation had been born and had grown to manhood and to womanhood without ever having lived under any but Republican rule. This long continuance in power of a single party had led many citizens to identify the interest of that party with the interests of the nation.
