and his hand on the trigger. He had
made up his mind that If Wright APP
preached him that day In manner to
justify 1t, he would shoot him dead.
He did not see Wright until he left the
Capitol that evening. As he went down
the steps to so home, Wright came out
and passed down the opposite side.
Sherman had n friend with him and
Wright was likewise accompanied by
friend. Sherman kept his hand on
his pistol and his eye on Wright as he
walked down the steps. Wright saw
that Sherman meant business and he
walked on without doing anything. He
served for some time In Congress, but
he never again called Sherman liar.
STORY OF BEN WADE.
Sherman's action as regards Wright
was according to the same policy pur-
sued by many of the northern con-
gressmen Just before the war. Sec
tlonal feeling was so keen that duels
We're talked of most every day, and the
man who could be bulldozed had no
peace whatever. Some of the southern
fire eaters seemed to take pleasure in
trying to intimidate their fellows, and
among these was Bob Toombs of Geor-
gia. Toombs found his match, how
ever in Ben Wade The late Edwin
Cowles, editor of the Cleveland Leader,
and great friend of Wade, told me
the story Said he:
Ben Wade once took occasion to
abuse Toombs in a speech. Toombs
sent one of his friends to Wade. with n
view to arranging for a duel. The
friend said: I am requested to say,
Senator Wade, that Senator Toombs
considers the language you used today
a great insult to him. He demands
that you make n retraction or abide by
the consequences
Ben Wade looked the messenger in
the eye, and then coolly replied:
My dear sir, I want Toombs to
challenge me. We northerners have
held a consultation about the bullying
action Of you southerners. We have
decided to kill off four or five OF you.
and l have picked out old Toombs as
my man. You may tell Toombs to
send In his challenge. l shall, of
course, have the choice of weapons,
and - me II I don't take my old rifle
and lay Toombs out the first crack.
General Toombs was not used to the
rifle, although he was an expert with
the pistol. and the challenge was not
sent. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
