Nkw Yoiik, Jan. 7. It muy bo ns well
said of prestilctititit conventions iw it Iiiih
boon nnid of juries that no one can (in
dict accurutoly wlmt thoy will do. With
tlio exception of tlio great soldier who
luivo boon nominated and whoso sulci
tion was Indicated unerringly before the
conventions which nominated them met.
and with the exception also of two
cases whore the renomination of a presi
dent has been inevitable, It may bo buid
that over since tlio national caucus sys
tem was adopted, some sixty years ago,
the action of the conventions of nil tlio
parties has boon in tlio uaturo of a sur
prise It is the uuexpectod which ap
pears to bo most likely to happen with
national conventions. Nobody, for in
stance expected that James K. Folic
would bo nominated in 1811. Ho was
almost unknown. Martin Van Huron
was regarded as tlio certain candidate,
and ho did havo in fact a majority in
tho convention, but curiously enough, a
rulo which he had himsolf devised to
secure his nomination in 18J10, which
provided that a two-thirds voto must bo
secured before any caudidato should Iw
declared nominated, prevented his re
ceiving tho honor in 181 i.
In 1818 it was thought for n timo that
General Scott or possibly Uauiol Web
Btor would bo chosen by tho party thoy
represented, but a single remark by
Zachary Taylor, uttered in tho heat of
battlo in Mexico, as woll as certain
machinations of the politicians, brought
him of a sudden to the front and ho cai
turod tho prize, leaving such groat men
of his party as Scott and Clay and Dan
iel Wobstor behind in tho raco for the
honor.
Perhaps tho most striking caso of sur
priso occurred in 185'J. Tho convention
of tho Democratic party seemed then un
able to agree upon anybody. The
strength of all tho leading men in the
Democratic party was testod. Tho lit
tlo giant of tho west, Stephen A. Doug
las, then barely forty years of ago, was
unablo to secure the voto of tho conven
tion, although ho was immensely popu
lar with his party, and in despair tho
managers turned to tho little delegation
from tho state of Now Hampshire and
said to thorn, ''Nanio your man and wo
will tako him," and thus it happened
that n person so obseuro that most of
his party had never heard of him, Frank
lin Fierce, tocamo president of tho
United Stntcs.
in 1870 tho result of tho Republican
convention was a surpnsotothocouutry.
filaino had run a uoblo race; Morton,
Conkling and Bristow wero splendid
competitors, and yet tho man who took
the prizo was so inconspicuous at the
beginning of tho balloting that hisnamo
attracted but littlo attention. Tlio nomi
nation of General Uarfiold in 1880 and
that of Donjamin Harrison in 1888 wero
signal illustrations of tho tondoncy oi
conventions to do those things which arc
surprising.
Thurlow Weod used to say that in the
race for tho presidency tho dark homo
has tho best chance, and ho always felt
that William II. Seward would liavo re
ceived the nomination for president in
18GU had ho boon as obseuro as Abraham
Lincoln was.
National conventions have always
been afraid of men of great wealth.
Washington was tho richest president,
as ho was tho first. Tho two Adamses
and Madison had u vory smnll property
Jefferson was dependent upon his salary,
left tho White flotiso in debt and was
obliged to borrow money and sell hoiiio
of his books to support himself in his
old ago. Martin Van Uuren was worth
about tfOO.OUU when elected, and he ac
cumulated property after ho loft tho
presidency William Henry Harrison
was so ikkh' that ho was dopeudeut upon
his trilling earnings as clerk of a little
court in Ohio for his support while tho
presidential canvass was progressing,
Henry Clay, might luivo earned n largo
fortune by practico at the bar, but he
was an improvident man. Ho had con
tinually to borrow money on notes, and
ho was in some pecuniary embarrass
ment, it is said, whon he bocanio tho
candidate in 1811. General Fiorco had
a small property IJuuhrimn an income
of some $1,000 and General Scott was
absolutely dependent upon his salary as
a general in tho United States army
whon he was nominated.
Lincoln was vory poor. In tho win
ter of 1800, homo three months before he
was nominated, ho was in Now York
city, and ho thoro mot a friend whom
he had known in Illinois.
Said Lincoln to this friend, "Woll
liow are you getting on m worldly
goods since you loft Illinois?"
Oh. I supposo I'm worth $100,000.
was Ins friend's reply
'Well that ought to lw enough to
kcop you handsomely tho rest of your
life," said' Lincoln. "I haven't done so
woll I have $!),000 in money and my
house in Springfield, which is worth
about $0,000.' Then ho added with a
merry twinkle m Ins oyo: "Some of my
friends say thoy are going to nominate
mo for vice president with Seward for
president. Woll, if thoy tlo and I'm
elected, I ought to save $10,000, and that
with what I've got will be enough for
ino, I reckon." Lincoln was then fifty
ono years of ago, autl ho hoomed to look
forward with content to tho possession
of about $20,000 as enough for him in
his old ago. His aggregate salary in the
fouryears that ho sorved was $100,000,
and ho was ablo to savo aUiut $-10,000 of
that and counted on saving as much
moro during his second term, so that he
, thought he would bo worth about $100,.
000 whon ho loft tho presidency, a sum
which Im regarded as a very great for
tune. Grant had nothing but his salary
when he was nominated 'and only eight
years before his nomination ho had lieen
living on $1,000 a yoar, and two years
before that had been Hddllngcord wood
In tho streets of St. 'Louis. Mr. Hayes
was comparatively well off when ho was
nominated, his fortune being estimated
at aknit $100,000, and he was tho l
wealthiest man, with two exceptions,
nominated by elthor party in moro than
sixty years, and probably tho wealthiest
president elected since General Wash
ington, General Garllold was a poor man when
iiomiu'ited. Ho owned a houso in Wash
ington, but it was mortgaged, and he
had somo slight in vestments. Alter his
death his property was so woll handled
that it wassaid to yield lus widow some
riimi- . i '
';,"' i .' I
thing like $50,000. General
Grover Cleveland wero each worth about
$50,000 whon thoy entered tho White
House. Each of them had made fort li
mit o real estate investments, which in
the course of a fow years increased their
wealth. Arthur's fortune at tho time
of his death was estimated to be
f 150,000, duo almost entirely to appreel !
atiou of real estate which ho owned iu
Now York city. Cleveland Is estimated '
now to bo worth about $200,000, while
his wife's fortune is considerably more '
than that sum. President Harrison had I
n vory small property when ho was nnm
iuated, and those who knew his circuiu 1
stances at that time declared that all In i
possessions would not amount to $10,000
Only twico, perhaps threo times.
in tho past sixty years havo men who
wero rich in the modern meaning of
that word been nominated for the presi
dency Mr. Tildeu at tho time of his
nomination was called a millionaire,
but the greater part of his wealth did not
come to him until a year after tho presi
dential olection of 1870. Through cer
tain investments iu railway stocks, and
especially by tho enormous appreciation
in tho value of tho stock of the clovated
railway iu Now York, Mr, Tildeu vastly
increased his estate, and when he died
his executors estimated his wealth at
about $5,000,000. Anothor wealthy man
nominated for tho presidency was Hora
tio Seymour Ho had large possessions
in lauds and stocks, but ho was so char
..,,,.. , , . . ,i
table In the use of his property, sow Wo,
in tho administration of it, that Ins
wealth was not considered a detriment.
Moreover, tho leading candidate for
the nomination against him, George II.
Pendloton, was also a wealthy man. He
was not so rich us Governor Seymour,
but ho was ono of tho fow prominent
Democrats whoso wealth made him con
spicuous as well as his abilities. Iu 1818
tho candidate of tho Democratic party,
Lewis Cass, was a man of wealth. He
was. however, so conspicuous as a states
man and leador iu his party that but
littlo attention was paid to the fact that
ho had accumulated great possessions,
mninly by tho rise in vuluo of property
In Detroit, which ho had years before
bought for a very small sum,
Many of those who wore candidates
or were prominently mentioned in con
nection with tho presidency and two or
threo who served as president died in
poverty Stephen A. Douglas after his
brilliant career was practically penni
less whon ho died, although had ho lived
a fow years somo land which ho owned
in tho then suburbs of Chicago would
havo brought him a fair sum. James
Monroo died in almost absoluto poverty
in Now York city. John Tyler was a
poor nmu after ho left tho presidency.
Daniel Webster did not havo much prop
erty, oxcept his estate at Marshficld, and
Henry Clay's place, called Ashland, was
about till ho left to his heirs. Jefferson's
struggles with poverty furnish tho sad
dest episode in his career, and John C.
Breckinridgo struggled hard in his prac
tico at tho bar to support his family.
A change in tho disposition of conven
tions respecting tho ago of candidates
has been noticed. Formerly tho ten
dency was to select men who wero well
on in i years. Jackson and Buchanan
itiiii tv imam ijmiry Litiirinuu woro inn
men when thoy wero elected to tho pros
idency. Tho average ago up to 1850 of
candidates and presidents when elected
was about sixty-two years. With tho
war era. however, the tendency to chooso
youugor men began to bo vory mnrked.
Stephen A. Douglas was only forty
Bovon when he was nominated. Fre
mont was nominated when only forty
three, but ho was the first candidate of
a new party John C. Breckinridge was
barely forty years of ago when ho was
nominated in 18U0, and ho hndscarccly
passed the constitutional limit when he
was nominated and elected vieo presi
dent in 1850. Gray hairs havo not been
tho rulo with candidates whether de
feated or elected since 1800 McClolhin.
who was tho youngest caudidato ever
nominated to the presidency and who
was of most youthful appearance, was
associated with anothor young man,
Georgo H. Pendleton, who was only
forty-two years of ago whilo McClollan
was thirty-nine. Grant was only forty
six whon ho was first elected, Garfield
was forty-eight and Clovelaud forty
seven.
In tho earlier days it would havo been
esteemed a rash thing to think of choos
ing a president who had not passctl IMty I
years, although Henry Clay was only
forty-six when lie was first a caudidato,
autl Aloxauder Hamilton might havo
been a candidate had ho permitted it
soon after he passed his thirty-fifth
year, for although Hamilton was of
foreign birth yet the constitution pro
vided that persons who wore of foreign
lurtli at the tune of the adoption of the
constitution might bo eligible for the
presidency, and it has always been
thought that this clauso was put in for
the possible benefit of Hamilton. Blaino
was only forty-four when he made his
exciting race for the presidential nomi
nation tho llrst time autl but forty-eight
when ho autl Grant tested stienglh for
many days Ixjforo tho Chicago conven
tion of 1880
It will lie seen, then, from these fow
Illustrations that the tendency of con
veiitious is to make an unexpected nomi
nation mid also that men of gieat
wealth, or even nl fair fortunes, are not
iki'ly to Is- put in nomination, ami,
moreover that in this day of activity
conventions are liitM to look for men
tth' havo scarcely entered their prime,

Wahiiinoton, Jan. 7,ln tho spacious
parlors of tho now Army and Navy club
house, which has just been nimned in
the aristocratic section of tho city, a
lmv' friend of mine called attention to
down oM follows who wero playing
whist near by, and asked If 1 know who
they wero, I did not know, and he
proceeded to enlighten mo. "Old ad
mirals on tlio rotlred list," said lies "old
heroes, too, a good many of them. Do
yoii see tho old man who appears to be
rather stiff In his joints tho ono with
tho long white whiskers and a black
ened forehead? That is Admiral Wnr
den, tho hero of the Monitor.
"Just at this timo, when all tho young
men of the navy are eager for war with
Chili, because of tho opportunities thoy
will get for winning distinction and pro
motion, tho old admiral is an unusually
' interesting ligure. There is a link be
I tween tho past anil tho present. Thero
is the man who commanded tho world s
llrst ironclad turreted vessel in its ilrst
engagement. That weak, shaky old gen-
1 tleuian was commander of Ericsson's
Monitor whon she steamed into Hampton
Hoads and attacked tho terrible Morrl
J mae, which had been destroying every-
thing before her. You remember tho
, story how tho Monitor excited tho de
rision of tho enemy, how thoy dubbed
her the Yankee cheesebox, how tho lit
tle craft bore tho awful cannonading of
her adversary without apparent Injury,
, how tlio bravo men on tho Confederate
j ram suddenly awoke to a realization of
1 the fact that at last thoy had a foe
worthy their prowess, and how tho
Merrimnc was finally compelled to

mauiler of tho Monitor was injured
by the concussion of a shot which struck
the turret witli terrific forco near where
he was peering through tho sight hole,
the flying particles of iron blinding hi
eyes ami blackening his forehead; how
he was found by Lieutenant Wlso after
tho engagement ljing on his back, tem
porarily blind, and how his llrst ques
tion was, 'Havo 1 saved tho Minnesota?'
'Yes, ami whipped tho Merrimac,' was
tho reply. 'Then 1 don't enro what be
comes of me," said Wortlcn. You ro
member how the fate of tho republic
appeared to hang iu tho balance during
this engagement: how the intrepid cap
tain of tho Monitor was made a popular
hero, and how tho Yankee cheesebox
instituted a revolution in naval con
struction anil naval warfare."
"Yes," saitl l, "1 rouiembcr it nil.
Who could forget this naval epic?"
"Well," continued my friend, "I want
to tell you a littlo story about this man

with his face still bearing tlio marks of
that memorable conflict n story of n
hero that is tender and pathetic. Wordon

ago was retired on tho highest pay of
his grade, as if still on sea duty, by a
special act of congress. Ho had been
fifty-fivo years in tho sorvico, and was
entitled to this distinction and reward if
ever any man was. But what do you
suppo.so this old hero Is doing now?
What is his aim In life? 'Ah, Houton
nnt, said ho to mo tho other day, 'go to
Chili if you got a chanco, and distin
guish your&olf in tho sorvico of your
country if opportunity offers. As for i
mo' and hero tho votoran's oyo kindled
witll tll0U;llt of con,nct( nnd ho
gave a
sigh as If realizing that his fighting days
wore over 'I am simply a rominisconco.
1 am living simply to live My only
nim in lifo Is to cultlvato longovity. As

with her. It is my desiro to outlive her
but a tiny. Sho Is stronger than 1 nm,
but that 1 may If possiblo remain
as long as sho remains, you ought
to see how I tako care of myself. My
solo occupation, I say, is tho cultivation
of longevity. I study hygiouo, dietetics,
every law or rule of health. For two
years 1 have not been to a dinner. 1 do
not go out uights. My entire timo and
energies aro devoted to taking care of
myself not for mysolf, understand, but
for tho $1,500 a year which tho govern
ment allows mo during my lifetime. My
good wifo needs this as long as sho lives,
and that Is what 1 am living for.
"This was tho old hero's story," con
tinued tho lieutenant, "and a swoot,
pretty story it is too Do you not think
so?"
"Yes: but who aro tho other old inon
at tho whist tables?"
"1 do not know them all. Tho two
partners at tho first tablo aro Admirals

Wonlon Is, perhaps, tlio most con
njilciious figure of tho lato wnr ro
untitling in Washington today. Over

a bluff and hearty old fellow, full of

alfeetloit for tho Constitution, and every
BUininer ho journeys to Portsmouth, N

which he proudly trod a half century ago,

"Another peculiar thing," concluded
tho lieutenant, "is that tills old hero of

tor of his day was an experiment, but its
success was so great that for a timo the
world was crazy after vessels built after
that model. Subsequently naval con
structors havo tried everything olso that
ingenuity could devise, wasting untold
millions of public money iu their experi

LIVING A RETIRED LIFE.
HniiielliliiK Alintlt linn. A. II. Cornell,
Onru (lovtirimr of Now York.
IHpceliil Correspondence.)
Nkw Youk, Jan. 7. No living man
who has figured prominently in tho poli
ties of tho state of Now 'York is soon or
heard of less theso days than ox-Governor
A. B. Cornell. Old friends that used
to know 'lim intimately and bo conver
sant with his opinions and interests are
forced to confess that thoy havo no
knowledgo of either now. Thoy had
heard that ho had gone to pieces finan
cially and that ho was doing nothing,
thoy had heard, too, that his health was
poor and that ho was unfitted to meet
tho exertions of uctivo business. Whether
or not ho lived in Now York thoy would
not toll.
But tho truth is Mr. Cornell is not an
invalid, nor is ho without occupation.
Now that ho has withdrawn from pub
lic lifo autl has no idea of over entering
it again under any circumstances, he
cultivates tho seclusion of privato lifo.
Ho has so often been tho victim of mis
representation by reporters that ho does
not caro to seo them, much less talk
with thorn. Ho resolutely refuses to ad
dress political meetings or to tako any
conspicuous part iu tho public demon
strations of the party that honored him
so conspicuously. Still ho tukes an in
terest in politics. During tho recent
campaign In Now York ho might bo
seen occasionally at tho Republican head
quarters iu tho Fifth Avenue hotel.
Tho glimpses of tho man that wero ob
tained on theso occasions indicated
clearly that ho is iu tho best of health
and that ho has aged hut littlo since hu
was governor of the Emplro Stato. His
hair has, however, blanched a littlo since
then: ho is perhaps a littlo stouter, but
ho keej is his face as smoothly shaven as
ever; ho has the same quiet nnd sell
reliant manner; he speaks witli tho same
deliberation: ho has the same inscrutable
features that give no indication of hi
thoughts or feelings.
Mr. Cornel! has not been a resident of
New York city for somo timo, nor has
ho hail an olllco here bearing his name
His homo is in Youkers with ono of his
sons, who is a lawyer on Broadway It
is in this oilice, too, that ho transacts
most of his business and receives those
that have occasion to meet him in town
His hoiim in j short from 11 until 2. It
is not easy to find him for anothor rea
son tho various interests that occupy
his attention fiequently call him away
from town, ami his absences aro more
or less prolonged according to ciicum
stances. As to the nature of theso interests ami
where they .ire located Mr. Cornell him
self iv fun s absolutely to seak. But it
is understood that thoy comprise real
estnto. raiiroads autl manufacturing.
Although he is not believed to bo as
wealthy as lie was once or jwssess tho
pouci in i.iaiitial circles that ho wielded
a few je.ti- ago. ho is not by any means
a poor ui.ni. Fu.vNKMN Smith,
