He sat down on the sofa. Said I, "Mr. Sher.
man, came here for position Said he, II
have got no position for you in my depart
ment." I told him l did not expect position
in his department. wanted it from the State
depal tment. Then he said, '.you had better
call on Mr.. Evarts." l told him that l had
fled my application with Mr.. Euarts, and what
l wanted him to do was to use his influence to
get me the appointment. He replied to that
for me in his department nor in any other
nor in any other department; and just then
Gov. Wells, of Louisiana, came in, and took
up my hat and left, and never saw Mr.. Sher.
man since until last Saturday.
