Douglass to as fine an audience as the
city ever got together, who listened to
mastery address on the dangers that
lurked behind the vice presidency (of
which Andrew johnson was just then
giving the country m object lcsson).
Not only, was Mr.. Campbell warmly ap.
plauded for introducing Douglass, but
Douglass address was also cheered to
the echo / mention the incident sim
ply as Illustrating the kind OF man Mr..
Campbell was.
Another little episode may be mem
Toned that will he familiar to many
Intclligencer readers. II Is the tilt
wifi. Roscoe Conkling in the convention
in 1880 that nominated Garfield for the
presidency. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Conkling had offered n resolution pledg-
Ing to support the nominee Of the con-
ventlon whoever It might be. Mr.. Conk-
ling then believed the 'old guard" was
able to nominate Grant for third term.
Not content with the resolution he ex"
pressed the opinion that any delegates
who refused 10 vote for 1t ought to be
expelled from their seats. Mr.. Camp
bell. as one of the West Virginia dele
gates. took fire at this, and he gave the
New York; Adonis such drubbing as
he had never before since Blaine had
referred to him In the house as a "tur-
key cock" Campbell referred to his
own record as a Republican editor in
Virginia from the time OF John Browns
Harper's Ferry raid down to recent
times. and declared that 1t did not dis
credit him In comparison even with the
distinguished Republican senator from
New York; that he did not recognize
the gentlemnn's right to question his
seat in n Republican convention. He
never would surrender his prerogative
Of independent Judgment. He carried
his sovereignty under his hat, and
asked nobody's permission.
These incidents show the fibre of the
man. He had moral courage. He was
not afraid to do unpopular things when
he believed them to be right. An in
stance. sof this was when, some time
after the war. he headed movement
in West Virginia to do away with the
test oaths. by which all eX-confedcrates

We're then excluded not only from polit-
ical privileges, but from the practice OF
the professions and from teaching In
| the public schools. The movement was
| known as the "let-up." Mr.. Campbell
thought 1t was time to let these people
up, In harmony with policies adopted
| by the party in national matters. and
said so In the plalnest English. believ-
| ing the occasion for the exclusion had
passed.
Mr.. Campbefps Republication was of
high tyne. He was for principles, not
eHpediency; 1t was n nearer religion
with him than politics. Hc would not
compromise his principles for the sake
Of success any more than he would his
personal sense OF dignity. He always
, carried into his political life n lofty
ideal OF integrity In connection with his
public career. l believe he would have
been one OF the first United States SEN
ators elected In 1863. after the formation
OF the new state Of West Virginia, IL he
had been willing to trim lttle-to
latter the legislature little beyond
what he thought that body meritcd. He
could notsstoop even to conquer, and
knowing him as did I believe he al
ways lelt more satisfaction in the result
than II 1t had been different, but cost
Ing him the sacrifice of what he valued
more than success. He always do
served more at the hands OF his party
than he would accept.
MIR. campbell was n man not only of
education, us college educations 70 but
he was much more. He was broadcned
ana educated first by his profession:
next by his wide acquaintance with
public men and public affairs. bv dIf-
gent study In many directions, and. NOT
least. by extensive travel in his own
and foreign countries. In addition to
this he had n talent for affairs. He
knew the iron business, In which for
many years he had extensive interests
better IMAM many OF the professionals:
was u student OF markets and knew
more OF that science than many who
nave wasted renms of paper In writing
books that only befog the question and
the student.
He had alife-long and Intimate ficnd
ship with Cash" Clay, of Kentucky.
during the Fremont campaign, or about
that time, Clay visited Wheeling on his
invitation and made n public speech on
political Issues. The city was over

Throughout the war Mr.. Campbell's
paper was the White Plume of Navarro,
around which the loyalIsts OF western
Virginia and the neIghborlng counties
OF Ohio rallied. and the authorities, mil
itary as we'll as civil. leaned heavily on
him and continually drew fresh supplies
of hopcfulness and confidence from his
indomitnble courage. During that try

ragged Old Dominion.
But want to speak about the man
more than of his career. In politics. as
such, he was never n trimmer with his
