dency, and had frequently said to mutual
friends that this was my desire. The contin-
gency of Garfield's nomination / did not con.

the Senate for six years he would not desire
the Presidential nomination, but as it has
come to him without his self-seeking it is hon
orable and right and have no cause of com.

sition that gave him to supplant ME l would
consider it dishonorable aud would not sun
port him; but, while such statements have
been made to me, l feel bound to say that I
have never seen nor heard from credible
sources any ground for such an imputati ton
and, therefore, he shall nave my earnest and
hearty support.
There are one or two features of this canvass
that leave painful impression upon me. The
first is that the opposition to me in Ohio was
unreasonable, without cause, either springing
from corrupt or bad motives, or from such
trivial causes as would scarcely justify the
pouting of schoolboy.
| receive YOUR frank statement with conf
dence and act upon it, will treat you as of old,
with hearty good will and respect, and will
give no further credence to the stories l hear.
You can have no knowledge of the extent OF
the accusations that have been made against
you.
Asan example OF the frank and outspoken
style OF the book the following estimate of
Garfield may be cited:
Iknew Garfield we'll. From his early advent
in 1861 in the Legislature of Ohio when was
candidate for the Senate, to the day of his
death | had every opportunity to study his
character. He was a large, well-developed,
handsome man, with pleasing address and q
natural gift for oratory Many of his speeches
were models OF eloquence. These qualities nat
urally made him popular. But his will power
was not equal to his personal magnetism He
changed his mind and honestly veered from
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-17

throughout the civilized world. To rise to such
a height as he had attained and then to be-
come the victim OF such wretch was a
calamity that excited profound sympathy for
the President and unusual detestatlon for the
murderer. The personal qualities OF Garfield
have been already mentioned. After his un-
timely death his enemies became silent. At
this distance of time we can properly ii x his
place in the calendar of those who have gone
before In many respects Garfield was like
men and in the power of will he was not the
equal of Blaine while in style of oratory, in
imagery and expression he was superior to
him. Both were eminent in their day and gen.
years, yet they lived long enough to perma-
nently stamp their names upon the history of
their country.
Speaking of himself the Senator men,
tions that at the beginning of the Arthur
administration he was the object of more
abuse and vituperation than ever before
or since. "The fact that the new admin
istration of Arthur was not friendly to
me was no doubt the partial cause of the
abuse. / was blamed for certain irregu-
larities in the disbursement of the con-
tlngent fund of the treasury, although
the accounts of that fund were by law
approved by the chief clerk of the DEPART
ment and were settled by the accounting
officers without ever coming under my
supervision, and the disbursement had
been made by custodian who was in the
department before I entered it. My wife
was more annoyed than 1 with the petty
charges which she knew were false, but
which I did not dignity by denying"
Sherman in his book quotes the perora-
ton of Blaine in the Garfield eulogy, and
adds: "Blaine died January q, 1898. Who

factory in the history of the Republic.
Several pages of the volume relate to a
correspondence which passed between the
author and Wade Hampton of South Caro-
lima. Of this correspondence the book
says:
This correspondence excited good deal of
attention, and broke off all social relations be-
tween us. We afterward served for many years
in the Senate together. but had no intercourse
with each other except formal recognition
while was President OF the Senate always
regretted this, for 1 did not feel the slightest
enmity to General Hampton, and recognized
the fact that while enjoying the office he held
as the result OF the crimes OF the klan vet he
and his colleague, NJ. C. Butler, were among
the most conservative and agreeable gentle
menin the Senate, and the offenses with which
/ connected his name were Committed by his
constituents and not by himself.
The resignation of Conkling and Platt is
mentioned briefly. Sherman is satisfied to
simply say that it was fortunate for the
country that the Legislature of New York
elected E. G. Lapham and Warner Miller
in the place of Conkling and Platt.
The death of Garfield by the hand of half
crazy crank created profound impression

letter from him on the 23d of June answering

statements:
II need hardly assure you, at this late
dav. of nv earnest solicitude for the sue
cess of the funding and resumption opera
tions, and of my personal deep regret,
apart from all pecuniary considerations as
a member of the syndicate, to see this un-
fortunate situation of the silver question
put complete stop to all further sales OF
the per cent bonds at present here and
in England The capitalists and banks
on both sides of the Atlantic will not buy
a bond at par in gold, when 1t is almost
certain from the overwhelming vote In the
House and the known attitude OF the Sen
ate that silver bill making the old silver
dollar a legal tender for all private and
public obligations will pass both houses

ing at 80 to 99N in gold in open market,
and it seems to me very doubtful policy to
offer bonds by US to the public at this mo-
ment and thus assist the advocates OF the

ence to the injustice and dishonesty OF the

The foregoing extracts may possess for
Pacific Coast readers peculiar interest, IN
showing the perfect harmony which gene

and the Treasury Department.

admitted by his warmest friends. During the
trying period between his election and inaugu-
ration his opinions wavered, but Blaine, hay
ing similar personal qualities. but q stronger
will, gained a powerful influence with him.
When l proposed to him to be delegate at
large to the Chicago convention, he no doubt
meant in good faith to support my nomination.
When his own nomination seemed probable,
he acquiesced in, and perhaps contributed to,
it, but after his election he was chiefly guided
by his brilliant Secretary of State.
There was striking contrast between the
personal qualities of Garfield and Hayes.
Hayes was modest man, but very able one.
He had none of the brilliant qualities of his
successor, but his judgment was always sound,
and his opinion when once formed was stable
and consistent.
Among the multitude of public men have
met have known no one who held higher
sense of his duty TO his country and more
faithfully discharged that duty than President
Hayes. He came into his great Office with the
prejudice OF powerful party against him,
caused by close and disputed election. This
unjust to him, for the decision was made
by tribunal created mainly by its representa-
tives. He went out of the office at the close of
his term with the hearty respect of the Ameri-
can people, and his administration may be
