GLENWOOD, SPRINGS, Colo., July 7.
To the Editor of The Beo: Those tourists
who wore thoughtful and wiso enough to
Journey on to Glenwod Springs during the
recent hot siege, which seems to havo pre
vailed in most pnrts of tho country, nro
now congratulating themselves. While
other pcoplo wero sweltering they
wero enabled to keep delightfully
cool. Thiy walk or ride through tho
shady canons, swim lu tho pool, lounge on
tho banks of the noisy Grand or listen to
the concerts on tho broad, sheltered vcr
nndas of tho Colorado. Among the guests
who bellovo they havo especial reason to
be congratulated aro James K. Hackett. the
well known actor, his wife, Mary Mnnner
Ing Huckott, nnd his mother, Mrs. J. K.
Hackett. Mr. Hnckett expected much of
Glenwood, hut ho admits that in his enso
tho realization is far superior to tho an
ticipation. Ho did not think that is was
right for him to bo scltlsh In his enjoyment
of tho plnco nnd so nfter he had been at the
Colorado but n day ho wired a number of
his eastern friends to leave Immediately
for Glenwood, tho most delightful summer
resort In tho United Stntes. While hern he
became engor for n hunt. He longed to
havo somo lino heads and rugs of his own
shooting. Nothing else would satisfy him
and so ho hired a guide and, accompanied
by Mrs. Hackett, Jr., away ho goes into tho
hills after big game. Tho probabilities are
that his desires will bo fully satisfied. New
York frlonds of Mr. Hackett may now ex
pect to bo simply deluged with souvenirs
of his western hunting experience.

hotel, New York City, accompanied by his

BRINGING OUT OF WATTERSON
How Ho Was Mado Temporary Chairman
of tho Tilden Convention.
GEORGE L. MILLER'S PART IN THE AFFAIR
lirnnkn Sinn Tells Hnw the Chnlec
Vn Miiilo mill Correct n Ml,
(like Mailt li- Colonel
MeClurc.
To tho Editor of Tho Beo; I am In
debted to ou for tho personal favor oi
calling my attention to Colonel A.exnude.
McCluro's book, "Our Proildents ami H w
We Make Them," nnd also for lending mj
tho book iteclf, which I am rending with
much Interest. It purport!) to b. nnd U,
an interesting history of national conv n-
lions In tho United States, and of tho ways
In which candidates for prisld nt l.nvo bid
nomlunicd. But If Clonoi McCluio , i ot
more accurate in his nccouu. of rational
conventions In gcncrnl than he Is In that
which ho ghes In his book of tho St. Lou s
convention of 1S76, which nominated Mr.
Tilden, It will bear, In tho Interest of tha
truth of history, considerable r. vl Ion.
Colonel McCluro says ot this convention
as follows:
"Henry Wnttcrson was temporary chair
man and was succeeded by General John A.
McClornand as permanent presiding omccr.
It (the convention) waj thor
oughly organized (by Mr. Tilden nnd his
friends) before It met."
Incentive Committee' Action.
Nothing oould bo further from tho truth
than this statement. I was n member of
tho cxccutlvo committee of tho nntloiul
committee, of which Abram S. Hewitt was
the chairman, at that convention, and 1
am perfectly familiar with the fjet tbnt
nothing wns dono or said in New York by
Mr. T.ldon about Its organ list on, nor was
thcro any plan about it until d ys after Mr.
Hewitt, Colonol Peiton, Edward Cospcr,
Governor Dorsholmcr, Mnnton Mnrb t and
other Immediate and authorized reprtsentn
tlves of Mr. Tilden reached Si. L.ul3. t
accompanied theso gentlemen to St. L 11U
from New York by Mr. Tllden's porsonnl
request, nnd I think I know a'l about it.
It was not until 2 o'clock on tho morning
of June 28, the very day on which the con
vention met, only eight hours from tin
meeting of tho national commutes wh ch
was to choose the president pro t'mpore
of tho conention, upon which I th u ht
then, nnd think now, everything d?pcn ol
for Mr. Tllden's nomination, that the name
of Henry Watterson was mentioned for the
first time for that position. I must know
because I mentioned It mjslf to CM n 1
PePon. Mr. Tllden's nephew ard representa
tive at St. Louis over all others, and to Ed
ward Cooper, who was pres'nt. I met thes
gentlemen early in the morning of that
day nnd begged for a name for temporary
chairman, and they said none had b?cn
agreed upon. I protested agalnit nnother
moment's delay. Mr. Cooper asked mo for
a suggestion. I mndo It on ths Ins'nnt by
naming Mr. Tllden's known champion in
tho west, tho chlvalrlc and brll'l'nt man of
the houth, the editor of the Courier Journal.
Mr. Wntteraon was promptly endorsed by
the little gathering In Colonel Pelton's pri
vate room. He was sent for, and It was
then nnd there that I met him for tho first
time. Colonel Peiton prosentod me to him,
saying thnt I had nominated him for tho
honor nnd great responsibility, and ho ask d
mo if I thought he could be clrctod. I said
"Yes, go and write your spocch."
Colonel McCluro tolls us that William
L. Scott of Erie, Pa., was "the nccepted
leader of tho Tilden people" at St. Louis. I
knew the gallant Scott well and I recall him
ns a strong man and honored him for his
general loyalty nnd sound democracy. He
had groat influence and a big bank account.
But Mr. Scott was never n gr?at leador in
the broad Hold of national politics. Ho cer
tainly hnd no controlling leadership at St.
Louis. The men who decided all questions
thero for Mr. Tilden I havo already named.
Srott Not (li- Lender.
Colonel McCluro seems to have very In
adequate notions of the battle roynl that
was waged by tho friends of Mr. Hendricks,
Tllden's great rival, at St. Louis. Thcso de
termined men, led by Joseph E. McDonald
and Daniel W. Voorhees of Indiana, and tho
late John Kelly and 600 Tammany rufllans
from New York, who were organized with
plenty of men nnd money to carry the war
to a desperate finish, fought to tho last
ditch for S. S. Cox for temporary president
of tho convention. Ho was then speaker
pro tern of the house of representatives and
a member of congress from a New York
City district. He wns a grent man, n great
parliamentarian and, personally, perhaps
tho most popular democrat In tho United
States. A hundred speeches from as many
balconies and qulto as many shouting ene
mies of Tilden mado the issue that "Tilden
cannot enrry New York." The battle was
fierce and hard fought, whatever Colonel
McCluro may think or say nbout It. It Mr.
Cox had been chosen to preside over tho
temporary organization everybody with a
grain of sense know what that would mean
with such a power in the hands of Johu
Kelly and his Tammany rufllans. It would
havo meant tho howling down of Tilden in
St. Louis us .Mr. Soward wns howled down
in Chiragn by Lincoln's mobs.
Mr. Watterson united tho distracted south
em delegates, the friends of the two great
candidates had equal access to the conven
tion and I havo never doubted thnt Mr. Wat
terson's namo nnd efforts had much to do
with securing that result.
Another Incident Set Itlnlil.
Colonol McCluro falls Into a curious mis
take nbout an exciting incident of the con
vention when ho tells how n duel between
General Moignn of Ohio nnd Colonel Brock
enridge of Kontucky, which tho colonel
says "was only nvertcd by Colonel Watter
son hurrying Colonel Breckcnridgo off to
dinner and compelling him to make conces
sions which properly satisfied tho Ohio war
rior." Colonel McCluro is wholly mlstakon
about this matter. Ho Is entirely mixed
up, so to say. The nffalr was not between
Colonel Breckcnridgo and General Morgan
at nil. The collision was between Colonol
Watterson nnd General Morgan and Colonel
Brcckonrldgo did the peacemaking. I wa
within five feet of Colonel Wnttcrson when
General Morgan, on tho floor, said what
Colonel Watterson accepted as nn Insult.
Ho Instantly left tho chair. I stopped him
as ho wob hurrying along on tho platform
and asked him what the trouble was. Ho
replied, "Morgan of Ohio has offered me an
Insult; I will call him out." And away he
rushed to tho center of the Kentucky delo
gatton. Tho last I saw or heard of the
duel was Colonel Breckcnridgo with his
arm around Colonel Watter3on's neck, pre
sumably engaged In taming one of tho most
fiery fighting spirits which tho country has
produced. GEORGE L. MILLER.
