Description:

iClassix, bringing classical literary works to your iPhone.

In 1880’s Boston, Mass. the good life is lead according to all the Victorian era

societal rules of the New World. Political ambitions and the business of making

money go hand in hand. A Senate seat suddenly opens up due to the current junior

senator’s unexpected death, and the political machinations to fill the seat begin.

Senatorial candidate John Harrington is a young idealist who thinks that fighting

for truth and justice, regardless of political affiliation, is the way. But he is

told he can’t possibly win because he isn’t partisan enough. His opponents in the

iron mine, railroad and shipping business sabotage his first bid for office,

because he wants to do away with protectionism in trade to open up global

competition. He eventually succeeds in winning a Senate seat. He gives a rousing

speech to Congress as they gather to elect a President in a race which has ended in

a three way tie. His message is that blindly following a party’s positions and

principles is not being free and independent, and will not always lead to the best

person being elected, or to the best decisions being made for the country as a

whole.
