Mark could rage with flatboat or mining-camp profanity over every injustice. When Blaine failed of the nomination for the Presidency, Mark wrote me an exultant letter full of explosive and obscene matter; a letter scornful of Ingersoll’s “He comes like a plumed knight;” bitter with rage against the corruption in Lincoln’s once great party. The letter is, I think, in the Adolph Sutro collection.
