P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 676
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Almost the only exciting question before that legislature was the election of an United States Senator. President Johnson had begun to show disaffection towards the Republican party which elected him, and the zealous members of that party were watching with anxious hearts the actions of those who offered themselves as candidates for offices of trust and responsibility. One of the Republican United States Senators had already abandoned the party and affiliated with Johnson. The other Senator was a candidate for re-election. He had been a favorite candidate with me, but when I became convinced that he sympathized with the recreant Senator and President Johnson, no importunities of political friends or any other inducement could change my determination to defeat him, if possible. I devoted days and nights to convincing some of my fellow numbers that the interests of the State and the country demanded the election of Hon. O. S. Ferry to that important office.

白话
巴纳姆在州议会最关心的是联邦参议员选举。当时约翰逊总统与共和党渐行渐远，一位共和党参议员已倒向总统，另一位参议员寻求连任，但巴纳姆发现他也同情倒戈者。尽管朋友劝说，巴纳姆仍决心阻止他连任，并日夜游说同僚支持费里。核心是：在原则问题上不能妥协，即使对方是昔日盟友。做法是：先确认对方立场是否背离核心价值，再全力说服关键人物，用政治行动捍卫立场。这告诉我们，政治判断要基于原则，而非人情。
上下文
1866年，美国内战刚结束，总统约翰逊与共和党激进派矛盾激化。巴纳姆作为州议员，参与了联邦参议员选举的博弈。
