Blaine, the typical American of his time -- a man from beneath whose very toe-nails enough intellect might be scraped to make an hundred Clevelands or McKinleys. All were jingoes in their day and generation, because all preferred the title of sovereign to that of subject... 1919, William Cowper Brann, The Complete Works of Brann the Iconoclast, Volume 12:
