" iieforp the assembling or the national Convention . caled to meet In Chicago on May Ii , 1860 , all Indications seemed to ! point to the nomInation or Senator Seward of New York. Hit great abilities , his exalted clllcter , and his long and conspicuous Imbllo services easily placed him In the load of nil the other candIdates and caused a demand for his nomination from the maJor- Iy of his party. Despie these facts anti though not a delegate , I went to Chicago resolved to do all In my POer to prevent tim nomination of ! r. Seward. I hall no personal bias In the matter , for at that time I had never met either : Ir. Seward or Mr. Lincoln , who had been formally put forward as a candidate by the republicans or Iinois n few weeks before I knew , however , that in my own state at least , a large part or Ihoso who would support Iel and Everett anl f veret i Mr. Seward was nominated would , under other circumstances , come to \ . Therefore my solo opposition to Mr. Seward was based Upon his want ot strength In Pennsylvania , us the natural and logical result of defeat In that state In October would have been a national defeat In November. On my way to Chicago I rode for some dIstance with Henry I ) . Foster , toy democratic opponent - ponent In the gubernatorial campaign Though rivals In poltc ! , wo were otherwise warm rrlends and the conversation I had , with him ves a lengthy ono. I asked what . bo though ot the political outlook , and be replIed that If Mr. Seward was made the , ' 4 rpublcan presllental nominee . as he , so mll confident ho would be democratic I success was certain In the state campaign. I then asked Mr. Fatter If he thought ho could be elected I some other man was nominated for president by the republcan . Ills reply was that such a contingency woulll make the state contest a close antI doubtful one. and he could not predict Its outcome This conversatIon strengthened my previous convictIon that the nomination or Air . Sew- ant would bo suicidal. ' I LAY DEFEATS SE\\'Alt. "Among the frt gentlemen I met after my arrival n Chicago was henry S. Lane , the republican candidate for governor or In- diana. I toll him what were my rears as to . the consequences that would follow the nom- baton of Air . Seward and he replied that the choice or the New York senator as I candidate would prove equally fatal to re- llublcns In Indiana , and that the deiega. 110n from that state would vote solidly for Mr. Lincoln as long as there was hope or his rionilnation.

I 0 25 II samples on the Oorl log know that there Is nothing In this com- plaint which , however , was well grounded on the occasion or the frt performance of 'fhe Masquerader . " and for several rea- sons. First , the audlenco was an excep- tlonaiiy noisy one ; fashionable and hence- tonaly with all deference to city society jourals- noisy. I was early In Its seats , I Is true. CuriosIty brought It out thus prompty doubtless ; and to this laudable motive may also be attributed the endless downsltug3 and uprisings and rushlngs to and fro which were by no means confined to the generous periods or waiting between acts. The night was excessively warm , and the rrou- frail of wavIng fans and rustling plybis audI- and the whispered comments or the - enco was a continuous murmur. Add to thesl factors the dul hum ot the ventilating apparatus under imperfect control , and the reprehensible habit or sonic or the players of turning their backs to the footlights and reading their hines In an unllertone , and It wIll be evident that It would bo a peculiarly constructed house In which a staKe pef- formance could be heard under such clr- cumstsnces. Those who were otinerwise em- ployed could not hear , as a mater or course and the fault was largely with themselves. The few who kept quiet and listened . could not hear equally or course , but they should not judge the house by that one experlcnce. The Creighton Is all It should be , acoustically - ally , and each successive performance Liners Is proving Its Ine8s In this , as In other respects.
