New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-08-19
). WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST 10. 1868.

mOur was elected Governor of NcwYOrk in
1852 Wolfe went on improving his gin, and
SEYMOUR vetoed +" the notorious Maine law 7
as Wolfe calls it. UdolphO is a Tammany Hall
Democrat, and Seymour is a member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. Wolfe certifies
that Seymour is very great man, and eight
doctors certify that there is no gin like Wolfe's
gin, and nothing like gin generally for the pro-
motion of health and longevity AT the tail of
the pamphlet is Frank 2. Bairs letter to COL
Brodhead; but it is very remarkable fact
that Frank doesn't say one word in this letter
about the Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps. If
Wolfe is the man we take HIM TO be, he will
send Mr. Blair a dozen bottles of the precious
distillation Immediately; and if Mr.. Blair is the
man we take him to be, he will forward to
UdophO a certificate which will send up the
sale to billions of bottles, and render necessary
the enlargement of the great distillery mt Schie
dam and of the bOttling-h house ut Hamburg.
There is one fact which is mentioned in the
Life and Adventures of UdOlpho Wolfe which
seems to us 20 be somewhat painful. 1t is stated
that she never held any Office" He says that
he was nominated for Congress in 1860, but he
backed out to make room for Gen. Ward. Is
this the way for q party to treat its benefac-
tors ? Who is Gen. Ward that the discOyerer
of the Aromatic Schedam Schnapps-the great
est blessing ever bestowed upon mankind -
should be shelved to make room for him
Considering what the world would have been
without the SchnaDpS, and the frightful cOndi-
ton of the public health before the discovery
of that remedy, we are not at all sure that
Mr.. Wolfe had not good reason to expect the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency,
especially as he has always "stoOd up for the
South while any man who owns bOttling
warehouse three hundred feet long and one
hundred feet wide should have been an object
Of reverence to the frequenters OF Tammany
Hall. They didn't, however, make HIM even
Vice President of their Convention. The
man who bottles millions of gallons OF
aromatic, medicinal, palatable, refreshing,
stimulating, bracing, diuretical fluid annually,
was MT thought fit to be a door-keeper in the
house of the Democracy! 1t would serve them
right if they should be cut off from cock
tails and sings for the remainder of their NOR
tai existence. Why, even Ewing, jr, received
half a vote. while the man who might have
administered fluid consolation by the cargo to
need all the comfort which it can get, was left
unheeded. unmentiOned, unappreciated. and
unhOnored Thank fortune that he did not feel
justified in leaving Tammany Hall altogether!
His magnanimity must heap Goals of fire upon
the heads of an ungrateful party as hot as the
stingo which he provides for their stOmachs.
He goes on still producing the carminative
which bears his name, and by which he will be
remembered when Seymour and Blair are for
gotten. He supplies Democratic Clubs with his
pamphlet free of expense" and works OIL his
angry feelings by bOttling more desperately
than ever. He continues "tO stand up for
the South and will be happy to
supply consignments upon the same old liberal
terms. To use his own language, "All the he
roic and the fraternal in human character
"and all the knightly in human nature, is
called from their deep seats to the surface"
by forgiveness like this. To see this most
benevolent of bottlers, with flask of his fluid
in one hand and the Democratic ticket In the
other, inviting the South to drink and be filled,
10 vote for Seymour and be happy, and es-
pecially TO order their gin Of Udolpho Wolfe,
is enough to stir the coolest heart, to set all
the bottles in his cellar to dancing for joy and
pride, and to cause all the Italian juniper trees
to clap their hands and to wave their branches
with unusual exultation. Like other human
benefactors, Mr.. Udolpho Wolfe has not been
well treated by his party, or politically by the
public in general; but if he should ever die,
which is improbable if he drinks enough of his
A. S. Schnapps, it will be our first business to
see that gigantic bottle is placed over his
grave while the juniper trees wave their
boughs above it, and fill the whole air with
reminiscent aroma.
