—
Horatio Seymour's Practical Political
Lessen to Chauncey M. Depew
Wren Latter Was Secretary of
State of New York.
"If was just four years before Hora
tio Seymour was nominated by the
Democratic party, in imTS. :• run
igainst General Grant for preside:.: of
the I nited States, that 1 received

majority twice as large as that which
jovernor Seymour had received the
year before, the thought occurred to

persona! regarding him in some of my
speeches. But. to my astonishment I

with him in the task of organizing
the Liberal Republican party were
three other famous editors, the late
Murat Halstead. Henry Watterson and
the late Carl Schurz. then United

These four men were prominent
members of the national convention
of the Libera! Republicans, held in
Cincinnati in 1S72. But not one of

nomination. Their candidate was
Charles Francis Adams of Boston. Yet.

On the morning of Pec. 27. 1S46.
Henry A Wise, United States minis
ter to Brazil, and later the governor
of Virginia, who signed John Brown's
ieath warrant and a Confederate major
general, went for a stro'.! to the docks
• of Rio Janeiro. Some days before he
had been told that an American clip
per ship might make the port, and he
did not wish to miss his fellow coun
trymen there; hence his daily haunt
ing of the water front.
On this particular morning he had
not quite reached the dock when he
spied two keen-eved and alert young
men, who bore every outward sign of
being Americans and who seemed to
be Intensely interested in the scenery
that the harbor of Rio Janeiro af
fords. Going up to them, Mr. Wise
put out his hand.
“You are from the United States,"
he said. “So am I. Am I right in as
suming that you are passengers upon
the clipper ship that I see is taking in
stores at the pier yonder?"
The two young men replied in the
affirmative and then Mr. Wise intro
duced himself, saying that he was the
American minister at the Brazilian
court, and adding that he would be
j pleased to have the two travelers dine
with him. Thereupon the strangers
expressed their delight at the invita
tion and immediately accepted it, the
younger of the two then introducing
the other as Colonel Henry W. Hal
leck of the United States army. “And." :
said Colonel Halleck. indicating his ,
companion. "Captain William T. Sher- |
man. also of the United States army." :
adding that they had been ordered
around the Horn to duty in California.
A few hours later the two officers i
who were destined to figure so promi
nently in the world's greatest civil
war. were received at the American
legation with true Virginia cordiality.
When dinner was announced. Minister
Wise arose and in his very best man
ner apologized for the unavoidable ab
sence of Mrs. Wise, who, he explained,
vaa indisposed temporarily. During
the meal itself, which was protracted
by the good time the diners were hav
ing. the host occasionally, excused
himself in order to inquire about Mrs.
Wise, and left the dining room, re
turning each time after a short in
terval and resuming the conversation
where it had been left off.
Thus the evening had worn away,
and everybody was feeling in the best
of humor when there came a knock at
the dining room door. The next mo

behind him a still happier woman,
who carried a bundle well swathed in

Mr.-chir.g up to the table, the wo
man lowered her arms a bit and then
gently parted a portion of the flannels,
revealing to the three diners the face
of a newly-born infant—and as the
two officers looked their astonish
ment. their host pointed to the baby
as the explanation of Mrs. Wise's non
appearance at dinner and happily ex
plained that It was a boy. Of course,
the youngster's health was toasted
then and there in approved style by
the two representatives of the United
States army.
Eighteen years later this baby, as
Lieutenant John S. Wise of the Con

carrying the last dispatch from Gen

president of the Confederate States

"Oh. yes. I remember the incident
very well,” was the reply, "and I also
recall the little surprise partv we
had.”
“Well, General, I was that baby,”
said Representative Wise.
The old warrior critically surveved
the heavy weight before him.
"Well,” he retorted, with his eves

•'With the convention's werk over,
we went back to our hotel ir. a very

I realised that the defeat would prob

"We had been sitting thus for a

chair, hurried over to the piano, lifted
the lid. sat upon the stool and began
to play, as the brief report had It. the
familiar air of 'The Heart Bowed

hum and then to sing the accompanl

in the humming.
"I don't believe anyone could have
found a better piece of music to ex
press our feelings at that moment.
Our hearts were certady bowed down
with grief, for we had failed to nomi

feat ahead. Oh. how funereal that mu

I recall the incident, I cannot help
smiling over the fact that Car! Schwrx
