         323.8-38: [New paragraph:] During the war he was too good to be a rebel
sympathizer,│and not quite good enough to become as Wilson was—a power in
│the Union cause. Wilson had risen to eminence by his devotion to liberal ideas,
while Winthrop had sunken almost to obscurity from│his indifference to such ideas.
But now either himself or his I friends, most likely the latter, thought that the time
had come│when some word implying interest in the loyal cause should fall from
his lips. It was not so much the need of the Union, as the need of himself, that he
should speak; the time when the Union│needed him, and all others, was when the
slaveholding rebellion│raised its defiant head, not when as now, that head was in
the dust│and ashes of defeat and destruction. But the beloved Winthrop, the proud
representative of what Daniel Webster once called the "solid men of Boston," had
great need to speak now. It had been│no fault of the loyal cause that he had not
spoken sooner. Its│"gates, like those of Heaven, stood open night and day." lf he did
│not come in, it was his own fault. Regiment after regiment, brigade after brigade,
had passed over Boston Common to endure the perils and hardships of war;
Governor Andrew had poured out his soul,│and exhausted his wonderful powers
of speech in patriotic words│to the brave departing sons or old Massachusetts, and
a word│from Winthrop would have gone far to nerve up those young soldiers
going forth to lay down their lives for the life of the Republic; but no word came.
Yet now in the last quarter of the eleventh hour, when the day's work was nearly
done, Robert C. Winthrop was│seen standing upon the same platform with the
veteran Henry│Wilson. He was there in all his native grace and dignity, elegantly
and aristocratically clothed, his whole bearing marking his social sphere as widely
different from many present. Happily for his good name, and for those who shall
bear it when he is no longer│among the living, he was found even at the last hour, in
