cess and the victory Of the democratic
party"
b 81 do not want any Of your wine,
SIR" was the reply. II told that
damned waiter to say as much to you,
sir, moment ago." And so saying,
Thurman turned his back abruptly on
the man from Cleveland.
Payne never forgot nor forgave this
public insult. The quarrel thus begun
ever after kept the two men apart, and
three and twenty years later thwarted
Thurman's highest ambition. In 1880
he was a candidate for the presidential
nomination before the democratic ma
tional convention. Had he had the I'm.
flinching support Of the Ohio delega-
ton, there is little doubt that he
would have been the nominee. The
delegation was solid for him on the
first ballot. Then it broke and the
chances of his nomination vanished
into thin air. Payne was behind the
break. The delegates from the dis
trict in which his influence was SUI
preme led it and were strongest in the
claim which stampeded the convention
to dark horse. AS Ohio was then an
October state and practically certain
to go for Garfield, the result would be
disastrous to the democratic cause.
That argument defeated Thurman and
nominated Hancock, and the revenge
Of Payne was complete.
But the most dramatic of all the
political feuds of the last forty years,
both in its inception and its sequel,
was that between Blaine and Roscoe
Conkling. The two men entered the
popular branch of Congress at about
the same time, and both soon became
leaders in that body. There was,
however, little in common between
them save the gift of pre-eminent abil-
ity. Conkling made Blaine the OBJ
ject of his sarcasm whenever oppor-
tunity offered, and the member from
Maine was prompt to retort in kind.
Thus the enmity grew until, in the
course of one of their many encoun-
tiers, Blaine, stung to the quick by an
unjust and ungenerous taunt, burst
forth in an onslaught on his torment
or which wrought the House into a
high pitch of excitement and marked
the beginning of fierce struggle in
the Republican party that ended in
the humiliation of Conkling and the
defeat of Blaine for President. Here
are Blaine's words, and they are a
model of excoriation:
GAS to the gentleman's cruel sar-
casm, hope he will not be too Sc
we're. The contempt of that large
minded gentleman is so whiting, his
naughty disdain, his grandiloquent
swell, his majestic, supereminent,
ioverpowering turkey-gobbler strut has
been SO crushing to myself and all
members of this House that l know it
was an act of the greatest temerity

Crawford and Clay. None of the four
secured a majority of the electoral
college, and the election thus devolv.
ed upon tho House, with choice to
be made from the three candidates
Adams, Crawford and Jackson-who
had received the most electoral votes.
This debarred Clay, who, forced, as he
expressed it, to choose between two
evils, announced that he had decided
to support Adams. But Clay's deter
mination no sooner became known
thar some of Jacksons friends at
tempted to drive him from it. The
weapon used for this purpose recalls
one CT the most discreditable Incl
dents in our political history.
A few days before the time set for
the election in the House letter ap-
peared in a Philadelphia newspaper,
asserting that Clay had agreed to sup
port Adams upon condition that he be
made Secretary of State. The same
terms, the letter alleged, had been of
fered to Jackson's friends; but none
of them would descend to such mean
barter and SALE" The letter was
anonymous, but purported to be writ
ten by a member Of the House. Clay
at once published a card, in which he
pronounced the writer "a bastard and
a liar," who, if he dared avow his
name, would forthwith be called to
the field Two days later the letter
was acknowledged by witless mem
Der from Pennsylvania, Kremer by
name, who asserted that the state
ments he had made were true, and
that he was ready to prove them. A
duel with such character was out
of the question. Something, however,
had to be done, and Clay Immediately
demanded an investigation by a spe-
cial committee of the House. Such a
committee was duly selected. None
of its members had supported Clay for
clared his willingness to meet the in
quiry, but in the end the committee
reported that he had declined to ap-
pear before it, sending instead COM
munication in which he denied the
power of the House to compel him to
testify. No further action was taken,
and in this shape, for the time being,
the matter rested.
Soon, however, came the election of
adams by the House, followed quickly
by his appointment of Clay as his Sec
rotary of State. Though it is now
generally acknowledged that there
has been no bargain between Adams
and Clay, it was natural that, at the
moment, the rank and file of Jack.
sons following should regard Clays
appointment as conclusive proof that
such deal had been made. BY &C.
cepting it Clay made himself the vic.
tim of circumstantial evidence. AS

umph for Jackson. Even Kentucky,
Clay's own state, went against him,
and Adams retired in the shadow of
deep humiliation. Four years later,
when Clay himself was candidate
against Jackson, he received but forty
nine out of 28G electoral votes.
In 1880 the unrelenting animosity of
Henry B. Payne alone prevented Allen
G. Thurman from being made the
nominee of the democratic national
convention. In 1857 Payne was a
candidate for the democratic nomira-
ton for governor of Ohio. The con-
vention met in Columbus, and Thur
man, then fresh from a period of brill
liant service on the supreme bench of
his state, had friend in whose candi-
