Daniel Webster and the Presidency.


Few people are aware how near Dan
lei Webster came to the presidency on
two separate occasions. Had he not
twice rejected Mr. Weeds suggestions,
he would, without doubt, have reach
ed the summit of his political ambition.
In the spring of 1889 Mr.. Weed went
to Washington, and called Mr.. Web
ster into the cloak-room Of the capitol.
Il think / shall be the wing candi-
date" Mr.. Webster said. Mr.. Weed
expressed doubt. ''Who then will 5e?"
asked the senator. at looks to me
like Harrison" said Mr.. Weed. Mr..
Webster declared that Harrison stood
no chance. You are misinformed,
he said. 1.-The party will choose man
with longer civil experience, who is bet
ter adapted to the place" The ques,
ton is" said Mr.. Weed, "who will
pool the most votes?" "Well,n said
Mr.. Webster, very well; but what
does this meanP You are going to
choose q Scott delegation in New
York. That, Mr.. Weed explained,
was to keep New York away from Mr..
Clay. Then he went on: you do not
see me here to argue about that. What
came for and what want is for you
to be willing to accept the support OF
New York for the vice presidency in
case my prediction about General Har-
rison is verified" As Mr.. Webster
would not listen to this, Mr.. Weeds
thoughts turned on Mr.. Clayton, of Del
aware, as candidate for vice presi-
dent, and Mr.. Clayton would have been
nominated had not his name been with
drawn at the last moment. When the
convention was about to be held, and
Mr.. Webster's friends saw that he stood
no chance for the place, they were free
to support Gen. Harrison OF Mr.. Clay.
Two years later, when Gen. Harrison
was dead and Mr.. Tyler was president,
Mr.. Webster, as secretary of state I'M
der the late vice president, had album
dant leisure to reflect upon his CONVEX
sation in the cloak-room at the capitol.

W. Fisher, Jr

Ny DEAR SIR:--I spoke to you short
time ago aDOuta point OF interest to your
railroad company that occurred at the last
session OF Congress.
1t was on the last night OF tue session
when the bill renewing the land grant to
the state OF Arkansas for the Little ROCK
road va. reached and Julian, OF Indiana,
chairman OF the public lands committee
and by the right entitled TO the hoor, al
tempted to put on the bill as all amend
ment the Fremont FL Paso scheme - a
scheme probably well known to Mr.. Cald-
| well. The house was THO, and the lobby
in the Fremont interest had the thing all
set up, and Jullan's amendment WAS likely
| to prevail If brought 10 a vote. Roots and
other members from Arkansas, who were
! doing their best tor their own bill TO which
there seemed to be no objeCtion) were in
despair, for it was well known that the
Senate was hostile to the Fremont scheme,
and if the Arkansas bill had gone back to
| the Senate with Juian's amendment, the
whole thing would have gone on the table
and slept the sleep of death.
la this dilemma Roots came to me to
know what on earth he conld do under the
rules, for he said it was vital to his const-
tuents that the bill should pass. | told
him that Julian's amendment was entirely
out OF order, because not germane; but ne
had not sufficient confidence in his knowl-
edge OF the rules to make the point, but he
said Gen Logan vas opposed to the Free
mont scheme and would probably make
the point. sent my page to Gen Logan
with the suggestion and he at once made
the point. | could not do otherwise than
sustain it, aud 50 the bill was freed from
the mischeyious amendment moved by
Julian, and at once passed without obJec-
| ton.
At that time had never seen Dir. Cald-
well, but you can't tell him that, without
knowledge Of II, did him a great favor.
Sincerely yours, j. G. Blaine.

On the subject of these letters the New
York Sun pointedly remarks as follows;
1T i, interesting to remark that it was
Blaine and Logan-not Blaine alone-who
rendered to the proprietors of the Little
Rock & Fort Smith Railroad the important
service so exuItingly described by the
speaker. Blaine was in the chair and saw
the chance. He sent his page to Logan,
who promptly made the point Of order sug
gested by the speaker. Blaine thereupon
made the ruling, and the thing was done.
We had not heard, however; that Blaine
ever applied to Fisher andsCaldwell for an
interest in the road for Logan on account of
his services"
