found that instead of a helpmeet and a com

went with her to parlies ami receptions 1

1 hero spoke to Mrs. t'luibo of her famous
social reign and asked her if she had a uliv

of the war.
"You speak of my social lelgn , " Mrs.
Cliaso replied. " 1 did not go Into boclety , I

Mis. Chase then said that she had no

but that she conld xIvo mo n slcil engraving

Theru was never a greater mistaku The
only desire he had to bo piesideut lay In the

In that place. Ho had a policy and Ideas of
his own as to the adimnlstiation of alTahs ,

been elected Ho was , as you know , a dem

as to u hut her hu would accept the platform.

was sitting and told me that if I would
authorlzu them to assure thoioiivenilon that

announcu this and it would surely sccuto

see hots unfounded it Is I was anxious that
tny fnthti' might bo ptosidont In order that
ho might carr.v out his Ideas. As to social
ambition I had bcrn In society all of tny life
t was forced into it ver.yoting. . At the ago
of 14 I was the social head of my father's
establishment nt Columbus , where ho was
the governor of the state , and I had at this
time three children that I had to care for
When I came to Washington tnj father was
secretary of the tieasury , and as the wife of
( Jpvernor Spraeuo my social duties were
equally gtcat The meio name of being mis
tress of the vvhlto house had nuvtr been a
great attraction to mo , and mv father's
health was such that I did not want to see
him become president and undergo all of the
worries and cares which are associated with
the chief executive of the country Ho
nearly broke himself down vvhllo ho was
secrot.uy of the treasury and he had Just
begun to recover. From his earliest youth
the supreme bench bad been the goal of his
ambition , and ho felt , as I did , that to bo
chief Justice of the supreme court was an
honor fully equal to that of the presidency
Ho liked his life and work as chief justice ,
and he was especially fitted for the posi
tion. "

"It was torilblo , ho did not want the posi

ho accented it. Picsident Lincoln offered
It to him vvhllo ho was still at Columbus
Ho sent for father to come to Springfield. I
think I do not remember whether ho went
or not , but Lincoln afterward came to visit
htm at Columbus It was just at ihu time of
the celobiatlon of the anniversary of the

Washington and was svvoin in as United

all parts of the country and among his
friouds at Washington led him to llnallj

enormity of the undertaking when he
accepted the portfolio The raising of

undertaking as the raising and equipment of
men for the Held. Wo hud no foieign ciedit
and the making of gieenbacks without intoi-
cst a leiral tender when the country had
never been on aiti thing but a gold b isis was
a success as great as the surrender of the
confcdeiato army four years later. The
woild will never know the stialn that the
seeiotary of the tieisurv had to undergo at
that timo. Mv father lived at the depart
ment and ho slept with his carat the tele

must bo had at once , and It was his business
to lalse the money. How ho did it. how ho
organized the national banking system , how
ho placed hundreds of millions abioad ,
these are matters of history "
