E0W K03CTATI0N CAME ABOUT T4 LiMra.1 KeBltllea Csarrattoa , t Claeiaamtt aad the wh aar Cemblnr Drapalr i aac Darkaeaa. . A aontharn man and a conueit ol rr, a democrat by Inheritance and con TJctSon. J baa ben making- In Kentucky : in unequal flght for the accepunce of the Inevitable, writes Colonel Henry Wat tenon In the November "Century," de- cubing the erenU that 14 to the nomlna- ties of Horace Greeley for president In XST2. , I had behind me . the intelligence i of the confederate ffoldiera almost to a man. They, at lwmt. .r tired of i futile fighting, and to tbem the war was over. But there was an element, ea i pecially lu Kentucky, which wanted to fight when It wag much too late. The leaders of thlt belated element were In complete control of the political ma "ichlnwy of the lat. Tliey regarded me as an Impudent upeUrt. since I had come to Kentucky from Tennessee as little better than a carpet-bagger, and j had done their uttermost to put me down I nd drive me out. . ' . j It asver crossed my fancy that I oould j fall. ,Yet 1 was not whoUy blind to con , sequences and the admonitions of pru I dence, and when the call for a liberal j republican convention appeared, I real- ixed that, interested as 1 was in what j mlgrht come of it. If I expected to remain a .democrat In a democrat community, and to Influence and lead a democrat!') following, I must proceed mith caution. A livelier and more variegated omlnum gatherum ivas never sssembled. They bad already began to pour In when I j arrived. There were long-haired and spe-ctifled doctrinaires from New Eng ; 'and. and short-lialred and blatant emla iarit ironi New York, mostly,' s It turned out, friends , cf Horace Greeley. There were brisk westerners from Chi cago and tit Louis. If Whltelaw Reid, who had come as GreJey's personal rep reaentatlve, had his retinue, so had Hor ace Whits and Carl Bchurs. A Joaraalistlo Fomblae. , Bowles and Halstead met me at the station and we drove to the St. Nicholas hotel, Where Schurs and White were awaiting us. Then and there was or gaolsed fellowship which in the succeed ing campaign cut a considerable figure and went by the name of the Quad rilateral. Wa resolved to limit the presidential nomination of the convention to Charles Francis Adams, Bowles' candidate, and Lyman Trumbull, . White's candidate, omitting altogether, because of spec f la reasons urged by White,' the candidacy of B. Grats Brown, who, because of his Kentucky connections, had better served my purpose. The very next day the se cret was abroad, and Whltelaw Reid came to me to ask why, in a newspaper combine of this sort, the New York Tribune had been left out. To my mind It seemed preposterous that It had been, or should be, and I stated as much to my new colleagues. They Sffered objection which to me ap peared perverse. If not childish. To be gin with, they did not like Reid He was not a principal, like the rest of us, but a subordinate. . Greeley was this, that and the other; he could never be relied upon in any coherent, practical plan of campaign; to talk about him as a candidate was ridiculous. I listened rather impatiently, and finally I said: "Now, gentlemen, in this movement we shall need the New York Tribune. It we admit Reid we clinch It You will all agree that Greeley has no chance of a nomination, and so, by tak ing him in, we both eat our cake and have it" On this view of the case Reid was" invited to Join us, and that very night he sat with us at the St. Nicholas, where from night to night until the end we convened and went over the perform ances and developments of the day and concerted plans for the morrow. . A Smrprlse Party. In those days It being the business of my life to turn day into night and night Into day, U was not my habit to go to bed much before the presses began to thunder below. The night before the convention proved no exception. Before turning In, I glanced at the early edition of the "Commercial" to see that some thing I was too tired to decipher pre cisely j what had happened. It was. In point tot fact, the arrival about midnight of General Frank P. Blair and Governor B. Grats Brown of Missouri I had In my possession , documents which would have Induced at least one of them to pause before making himself too con. spicuous. The Quadrilateral, excepting Reid, knew this. We had separated upon the adjournment of the convention. I, being, across the river in Covington, their search for me was unavailing. They were in despair. When, having had a few hours of rest, I reached the convention hall toward noon. It was 'too late The result was that Greeley was nomi nated amid a whirl enthusiasm, his workers, with Whltelaw Reid at their head, having maintained an admirable and effective organisation, and being j thoroughly prepared to take advantage j of the opportune moment. It was the i logic of the event that B. Grats Brown should be placed on the ticket with him The Quadrilateral was "nowhere." It was done for. The impossible had corns to. pass. " Urreley'a Melancholy t'ate. Horace Greeley was a queer old man, a yvery medley of contradictions, shrewd and simple, credulous and penetrating, a master penman ,of the. schools of Swift and Cobbett, even in his odd, picturesque personality . whimsically attractive and, as Seward learned to his cost, a man to be reckoned with where he chose to put his powers forth. If ever a man needed a strong friendly hand and heart to lean upon be did dur ing those dark days the end In darkest night nearer than anyone could divine. He showed stronger mettle than had been allowed him; bore a manlier part than was commonly ascribed to his slovenly, slipshod habiliments and his aspect in which benigancy and vacillation seemed to struggle for the ascendency. Abroad,' the elements conspired against him. At home his wife lay 111, as it proved, unto death. The good gray head he still car ried like a hero, but the worn and tendct heart was beginning to break. Happily th end came quickly. Over whelming defeat was followed by over whelming affliction. He never qulttei his dear one's bedside until the lasj puK beat, and then he sank beneath t:ie lot.) of grief. 'The Tribune' is gone nv.i i am gone," he said, and spoke no more. The death of Greeley fell upon t'u country with a sudden shock. It a rouse J a widespread sense of pity and sorror. and awe. All hearts were hushed., li an Instant the bitterness of the campaign was forgotten, though the huzzas of the V i r t .1 r at i 1 1 ran , ,k. Al 1 .1 1 iavw.u . 111. .3 Mil.
