plumed knight speech. The famous epithet “the plumed knight” was used by Robert Green Ingersoll in his nomination of James Blaine for the presidency in 1876. But Blaine lost the election, due in large part to popular rhymes like “James G. Blaine, James G. Blaine / Continental liar / from the state of Maine.” See rum, romanism, and rebellion. |
