stood related TO the divine right OF boiling IN tno
course Of his political career.
I remember sitting with Mr.. Ferry and Carl
Schurz in the Capitol st Washington on the day the
Legislature was voting for Senator de had talked
very freely about the Cincinnati Convention. from
which was then returning after short trip South.
He said he had hoped for the nomination OF hr.
Adams or Mr.. Trumbull. and was sorely disappointed
mt the result. But he seeued 30 heartily IN sympa-
thy with the opposition to the Administration that
when. n little later his midsummer mad
nessu letter was published, confess 1
was surprised / could only account for it
upon tho theory that Mr.. Spery and Others OF bis
active supporters had given the Republicans who
supported him. assurances that he did not propose to
abandon the party; and that being disappointed in
the result at Cincinnati he had great difficulty in
Welding to their solicitations to write letter that
would set them right. Before that time do not
think he was committed in any way with regard to
his future action. remember his telling me on the
morning referred to- that he knew nothing OF the
situation at home, and was very glad his
friends had not consulted him in tho mat
ter. Perhaps Sperry had learned better than
TO consult his principal since his faiure six years
before to induce Foster to stand against Ferry.
/ think Hawley and Ferry never spoke together
after that time The election of Ferry, on

gave rise in some quarters to an impression that
it was sort of Liberal Republican triumph.
There was not single Liberal Republican in the
legislature believe and the election had no other
significance than that by combination OF for
tuitous circunstances-on Of the foremost OF which
was Mr. n. ID. Sperry--oDe man was defeated and
another elected. The causes which led to It were
chiefly local and personal, and perhaps, considering
that about that time there was boiling epidemic
a trihe atmospheric.
