COL. DANIEL S. LAMONT.

ton was attracted to the boyish dele
gate from Cortlandt, and an acquain-
lance began which ripencd into q
friendship that remained unbrollen
ever aftcrward.
At the age of twcnty-one Mr.. Lamont
received the democratic nomination for
clerk of Cortlandt county, and, though
his opponent was one of the most popu-
lar men in that firmly republican dis
trict, he came within n few votes of re-
versing the majority that had stood for
years at 1000 for the republicans In
1874 Gov. Tildcn made Lamont deputy
clerk of the assembly. Later he became
chief clerk of the state department I'M
der Mr.. John Digelow Mr.. Tildcn con-
tinued to extend to him marks of his
confidence and personal esteem, and he
was always among the carefully chosen
body of lieutenants whom the great
statesman kept under his eye. In the
state campaign of 1875, which was di.
rected by Mr.. Tiidcn, Lamont was sec
rotary of the sta tc committee.
After the close of the ill-fatcd cam,
paign of 1876 Lamont went to Albany
and acquired from Mr.. Daniel Manning
~'ii ~ eSiN9o III tiiC AiOiHy Argus. niS
did not, however, rob him of his interest
in politics. He occupied himself closely
with the fortunes of the New York
democracy, and during the frequent
journeys all over the state under the
direction of Mr.. Tildcn he became ac-
quainted with every chief and leuten-
ant in the wonderful organization that
defeated Mr.. Cleveland in 1888, and
would have done the same in 1892 if it
had dared. Cleveland and Lamont met
for the first time shortly after tho
formers first nomination for governor.
Just before Clcvclands Inauguration "a
governor Mr.. Lamont was offered the
post of military secretary of his staff
and that place brought him the title of
colonel" which he has since worn.
Subsequently he became the governors
private secretary. He continued in that
position with Cleveland during his en-.
tire term of Office as governor, and
when the man of destiny went to Wash.
ington in 1884 Lamont continued to
serve him in the same capacity. After
Mr.. Cicvcland's defeat in 1883 Lamont
went to New York city and engaged in
the conduct and supervision of various
street railways, then owned by William
G. Whitney and Oliver H. Payne. He
has prospcrcd in that calling, and by
this time has certainly acquired com
petcnce.

COL. DANIEL LAMONT.
The Youngest Member of MI
Clevelands Cabinet.
A Young Man Who Has Enjoycd tho
Friendship OF Democratic Leaders
from Samuel j. Tilden Down
to the Present Day.

The man whom Mr. Cleveland has
chosen to conduct the affairs of the war
department, Daniel S. Lamont, is
product of Cortlandt county, New York
state, and is the only child of John B.
Lamont and Elizabeth Scott, who. are
still living ut McGrawville n cluster of
houses not far distant from the town
where the subject of this sketch was
born. Mr.. Lamont's first experience
with affairs, says the Illustrated Ameri-
can, was CLEANED behind the counter of
a little general store conducted by his
father. At the village school he re-
ceivcd sufficient education to enable
him to matriculate for the Central
academy, which was the successor of u
queer institution, known as the New
York Central college, established by
Gerritt Smith and other abolitionists,
for the education of boys and girls with
out regard to color. AT the completion
of his academic course young Lamont
entered the class of 1872 at Union col
lege. He was q bright and Industrious
student, and generally had first place
in the rank of scholarship. He early
displayed an inclination for politics and
public Office. Edgar f. Apgar, then
prominent in the management of the
political affairs of New York state, in
troduced Lamont to Gov. Hoffman, who
had him appointed, at nineteen years
of age, to a clcrkship of the assem-
