A Political Reminiscence.

Early in 1910 Henry Clay, as candidate
for the presidency, stood head and shout
ders above any other. The delegation of
the State of New York to the Wing cOnven-
ton were unanimous in his favor. In June
General Scott went to- Saratoga, and was
there made to believe that his popularity
might secure him the nomination and the
election. Like Greeley, he was vain and
over estimated his strength. He immedi-
ately went to Albany and counselled with
Governor Seward, who told the General he
would require twenty-fOur hours to con-
slider Scott's proposition, which was that
the Governor should, in the case of Scott's
election, be his right-hand man: At the ex-
piration Of the twenty-fO hours Scott
called upon the Governor, in the old Yates
mansion, when the Governor told him that
on mature deliberation he concluded that
the General was or might be the most
available candidate. He had fought
and Lundy's Lane, and his scars
would plead most eloquently for the suf-
frages Of the people, but he, the Governor,
did not regard the General as a politician,
and politics was the Governors profession.
in my hands, and promise not to answer
any letters or write line without my ap-
prOval, will undertake to secure you the
nomination." To this the General replied
that it was tying him up rather close, and
should require day or two to deliberate.
At the expiration Of the day be returned
snd assented to the Governors terms. At
once letters were forwarded to the dele
gates. The Albany Eue'.ing Journal exer.
the delegates al went for Scott instead Of
Clay, which resulted in compromise in
favor of General Harrison. His death
placed John Tyler in the White House.

nominated he would have been elected, and
