'Disunion is treason; if you attempt it.

King makers cannot always succeed.
Warkick failed to put his ~son-in-law, the
Duke of Clarence, N the throne, Mr..
Weed met his defeat and the bitterest of
his life when William II. Seward failed
1850. His devotion to Stewards political
fortunes, commencing with an acct
dental meeting on a stage coach in 1924,
was intense. He had aided largely in
making him governor of New York and
United States senator, n the highest
ambition CT his life was to witness his
elevation to the presidency. Ills GRIEF
at the reverse which he suffered when
the Chicago convention gave the pref
erence to the western rail-splitter, sup
plies the tragic element of our story.
But God attended that conventions!
In 1867 Mr.. Weed was chiefly instru-
|, mental in organizing the great meeting
at New York that first formally present
ed the name of General Grant for presl-
dent. Here again he urged the consider
alton that he had used in the case Oh
General Taylor by insisting that If the
republicans did not nominate him, the
: democrats would; and such would mt
doubt have been the fact. And so, tt
! recapitulate, the country printer made
! John Quincy Adams, William Henr!
Harrison and Zachary Taylor presidents
OF the United States, and contributed no

the New York legislature, but with that
exception never held or sought a pub
lie office. During the war he went
abroad in an eXtra-diplomatic capacity
to aid our ministers in England and
France in preventing the recognition of
the confederacy, and rendered services
Of great value in that behalf. He re-
tired from the editorship of the Albany
Evening Journal about 1863 and removed
to New York City. Some years later he
edited the Commercial Advertiser of
that city, but only for a short time: The
rest of his life was spent in retirement,
but he retained his interest in politics
to the last, and the approach of an cleo
ton never failed to elicit some express
sion of his views. He died in October,
1882, at the age of e~ighty-five years. The
lift that began under the presidency OF
George Washington ended under that
of Chester A. Arthur.

the campaign of 1910, with it's log cabins
and hard cider. its shibboleths and its

aggression of slavery and to make Abra-

Then he published SUCCESSFULLY the Agri-

publican at Manlius; but none Of these
ventures proved profitable. In 1877 ne

COL. BOTKlNS INTERESTING REVIEW OF THE CAREER OF THUR
LOW WEED-AN 0LD-TlME CAMPAIGN.

didates last named. Mr.. Weed ad-
dressed himself to this task with infinite
tact and intelligence, and his efforts We're
rewarded with success.
It was already obvious that the cleo
ton would be thrown into the house OF
representatives, where the vote is lim-
tied to the three candidates having the
highest number of votes in the electoral
college, n it was the votes that he re-
ceiyed from the New York electors that
made Adams eligible in the house. 1t
remained to secure the votes OF a maJorl-
ty of the representatives from his
state, and his he accomplished. BY a
vote off IS for Adams, IA for Crawford
and 2 for Jackson, the vote of New YORK
was cast for John Quincy Acams. There
is no doubt about it; at the age of p,
Thurlow Weed, editor of a newspaper
at what was then little more than a
frontier village, controlled the choice OF
James Monroe's successor as president
OF the United States.
If this were a Biographical sketch 1t
would be in order at this point to relate
Mr., Weeds connection with the anti
Masonic movement. That was one Of
the most curious episodes in u political
history. The abduction of the miscreant
Morgan, led to the formation of a party
hat virtually controlled the elections OF
New York for a number of years, and in
1920 actually nominated a candidate for
| the presidency in the person of William
Writ. who received the seven electoral
votes of Vermont. But if 1t served any
good purpose it is difficult to discover
what it was, and on the whole the anti
Masons were, perhaps, the least consld-
cradle of the third parties that nave
moved across the stage of American poll
tics.
In 1880 the Albany Evening Journal
was established by a coterie of whig poll
ticians, and Mr.. Weed was made eat-
tor, AS he was already at the head OF
his profession, and as he had a Wife and
two children to support, his salary was
fixed at fifteen dollars per week. Som
wears later he became proprietor OF the
paper.
Mr.. Weed opposed the election of Jack
SON in 1928 and 1882, and that of Martir
Van Buren, in 1886, but in the full con
viction that any opposition would 'be III
tile. In the meantime the opponents 0
the Jackson party had taken the name o
wings with a shrewd design to fix tn
correlative, tories, on the enemy. In tn
unpopularity of Van Buren's admins
tration, Mr.. Weed saw a hope of electini
a whig successor. The candidates who's
names were under discussion were Hen
ry Clay, William Henry Harrison an
General Winfield Scott. Mr.. Weed pre-
ferred Clay, but felt that he could no
be elected. With perfect candor, he too

toga to call upon him n tell him sc
with the suggestion that he should with

d that his delicate mission was under
taken in vain.

Thereupon he openly eSpoused the can
didacy of General Harrison. First he
opened negotiations with the New Eng
land delegates who We're friends of Dan
iel Webster. The latter was not a candi-
date, but may have had in contempla-
ton the place in the cabinet to which he
was appointed. However that may have
been, Mr.. Weed succeeded in gaining
the support Of the delegates from New
England for Harrison. After reaching
Harrisburg, where the convention
was to be held, he conferred
with the supporters of General Scott,
and effected a combination that Sc
cured the votes of their number for Did
Tippecanoe.' After a few Intellectual
ballots, to the infinite surprise and dis
appointment of the kentuckian's de-
voted following, Harrison was nominat-
ed, receiving las votes to 80 for Clay and
16 for Scott. To appease the friends of
Clay, John Tyler was nominated for
vice president. Then followed the IA
nous campaign of 1910 in which the prin-
cipal and quite sufficient argument Of
the wings was:
The latch string hangs outside the door,
and is never pulled in; !
For it always was the custom of Old
Tippecanoe and Tyler too,
And with them We'll beat little Van.
Van, Vans a used up man, etc.
With several more verses equally call
culated to carry conviction that the
wings We're right Oh the great issues OF
the day!
In 1874 Mr.. Weed gave his earnest SUD-
port to Henry Clay, who was nominated
Will, ,ro,tipnll no o,pnc;tiN, ono o,
acting of him a promise that he would
write no letters during the campaign.
This promise was not kept; Clay wrote
a letter favoring the annexation OF
Texas; the anti-slavery voters were
alienated, and 1.-THE Great Commoner''
lost New York and the presidency.
Early in 1916 Mr.. Weed met on a
! m the brother of Zachary Tay-
lor. In the conversation that ensued he
asked what the Generals political affii-
atoms We're. The brother said that he
had none but later it developed thai
he was an admirer of Heny Clay, and
tina he was so Jealous a friend OF
home industries hat he would not wear

Weed concluded that that was suffi.
cient to qualify him to be the whig can,

turn to Albany, and as early as June
1864, he published an article in thu
