1864 He was elected speaker of the
body. In 1865 he was appointed solicit
tor and judge advocate of the navy.
He resigned this place and went back
home, where he constantly held cleo
tive offices from that time till he was
appointed solicitor generally President
Garfield. The senate refused to coz
firm him. He had about this time
demonstrated that he was partisan of
the toughest kind, and also that he was
bold and bad. He thought that Blaine
ought to have helped him out, and from
that time on was an enemy of Blaine,
which that statesman found out thor
oughly before he died.
Garfield having been assassinated,
and Arthur succeeding him, Chandler
was appointed secretary of the navy.
Arthur waoted to be nominated by the
republicans for the presidency, and
there was no better man to have
around than Chandler. But before alr
this he was busily engaged in
politics of the national kind. He
was a manager of the Hayes campaign,
and when the election was over it was
he who sent out the firstdispatch to the
country. Zach Chandler of Michigan
Was the chairman of the republican
executive committee. He was at home

That is the kind of man he is-quick
and un' onscionable in politics. After
ward he was selected to go to Florida
as one OF the visiting statesmen" and
he went, A fine lawyer and bold, he
made his words good. Florida was
counted for HAYES, as were
the other two states, and Hayes
took his seat as president He owns
the Concord Monitor, but only writes
for it when he wishes. He is like sew
eral others statemen who own papers

say something in print they have their
own property to do it in. He is rich
only well to do in such state as New
York.
