In 1913 New York Governor Sulzer decided to try and reform the political corruption and control of Tammany Hall over New York State's political system. In response, the Tammany-dominated legislature impeached Sulzer for campaign fund irregularities. After he was removed from office, the only governor in New York State history to suffer such a fate, a disappointed, angry crowd gathered outside the governor's mansion, calling for a speech. The ex governor was presented with a loving cup with the following inscription engraved: “Presented to Hon. William Sulzer by citizens of Albany in Loving Remembrance of Duties Well Performed. A Martyr to the Cause of Honest Government.” The phrase that "no question is ever settled until it is settled right" seems to have originated in another poem. See Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
