It happened that the secretary OF state
was sitting with the postmaster general
and suppose that the latter wanted to
make an impression. stated my case
to him as concisely as could. telling
him of the central location of my can
didate's place Of business for the posi-
ton and of the important fact that bis
appointment would be great favor to
me.
1.-THE general answered with sheer
that he made little attempt to conceal
he would be delighted to do me a per-
sonal favor, it would be downright
pleasure for him, but he did not see
that the interests of the nation were
seriously involved in this little appoint
ment, and he would withhold his deci-
sion. Whatever that might be, he hoped
that would keep in mind the fact that
he was postmaster general.
4 managed to tell him that the fact
did not strike me as an unalloyed bless
ing and thought that saw pleasant
twinkle in the eye Of his distinguished
caller. I went away mad and disheart-
ened. Suddenly Senator Zach Chandler
came to my mind. He was friend OF
my father, both were from New Hamp-
shire, and whenever the great leader
was in our section of the state the two
men would have a good time talking
over the old home state. l went to the
senator, telling him everything but the
gate episode and the other party there
to. He knew me when entered, for he
never forgot names or faces. He in
quired particularly after my father, ex-
pressing his regard for him az an old
friend, and was in a mood to favor any
reasonable cause I might spouse.
so he tried to squelch you, did hes
And the old war horses face had its
sternest setting. Wanted to show off
at the expense of one of my friends and
constituents, did he? Just drop this

81 was on time, and Chandler hand
ed me commission for my candidate.
He stopped my thanks to ask me if it
would inconvenience me to remain over
till the next day. was burning to get
home with the glad tidings, but I would
have given him a month had he asked
it. Then take this to the postmaster
general, tell him that his treatment Of
you was inexcusable; that Michigan
men do not permit such attempts to
humiliate them that he told you to re-
member that he was postmaster gen.
eral, and that you now ask him to &C.
cept notice that the state Of Michigan
has been removed from his immediate
jurisdiction. I followed instructions.
and, while I do not know what that
message from the president, sent to the
general through Chandler and myself,
contained. do know that he wilted
and stammered an apology. I also know
that Chandler was the man after that
who said who might hold postofices in
this state.
II gave that commission to the girl
who came running down to the same
gate to meet me, and when promptly
attended to another little matter Of
business she said she would marry me a
thousand times if it was going to make
me SO happy. Harter had to wait three
years before his girl became good hu-
mored enough to accept him. detroit
