Burchard, Samuel Dickinson, 1812-1891
Clergyman; born in Steuben, N. Y., Sept. 6, 1812; was graduated at Centre College, Danville, Ky., in 1836; became a temperance lecturer and later a Presbyterian minister in New York.
In 1884, near the close of the Presidential campaign, he unexpectedly brought himself into notoriety by speaking of the Democrats at the close of an address to a party of Republicans as the party of Rum, Romanism, and rebellion.
These words were scarcely uttered before the leaders of the Democratic party published them throughout the country.
The election was very close, and it was several days before the official count of New York State was received.
That State went Democratic by a small majority.
The remark of Dr. Burchard was said to have influenced many thousands of votes, and to have lost the election to Mr. Blaine.
He died in Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 25, 1891.
