Bragg, of Wiscousin, was introduced by Senator Spooner at the request of the General, whit in feeble health and without means of support, and who came to Washington to persually urge his clatin upon Congress.
Gen, Bragg was the author of the fainous retort to the criticism of Grover Cleveland in the national Democratic convention of 1884: "We love Grover Cleveland for the enemies ho has made,"
In the convention of 1888 he again came into prominence for another saying. While address. ing the convention, being of feeble voice, he was interrupted by cries of "Louder," Finally, axasperated by the interruptions, he piped out: "When Gabriel blows his trumpet some Jackass will call bus 'Louder.""
Gen. Bragg parted company with the De mocratic party in 1896 and supported McKinley on the money issue. He served as Minister to Mexico under President Cleveland, was Consul General to Havana under President McKinley and later Consul-General to Hongkong. He was a delegate to every Democratic national convention from 1872 to and including that of 1895,- The Sun (New York).
