Vanderbilt's ability as a trusted po-

proved on several occasions by the
party chiefs.
1T is well known that, following
Lincoln's denomination, the party
leaders in charge of the campaign
greatly feared that Mr.. Lincoln would
fail of reelection on account of the
inability of the national committee
to obtain funds sufficient to carry or
a thorough and aggressive campaign.
1t was at very anxious period of the
war. The drain on the resources OF
the nation had been exhausting and
no immediate relief was in sight.
Taxation had reached what appeared
to be the limit of safety and all de-
mands for money for political pur-
poses were met by sullenness or abb
solute refusal.
The national committee seemed to
be powerless to find a way out of the
uncompromising situation. Its chair
man, Henry ]. Raymond, the distin-
guished newspaper editor. was not an
adept in the art of raising campaign
funds. and he had a profound distaste
for ordinary political methods of get

forty acres, and upon the place tweed

of money The barn which he built

national notoriety.
About five years later Tweed decided
that he would like to secure an adJoin-

twenty acres owned by the late Fred

prominent merchant and banker in

to put a price upon his twenty acres.
Tweed, in fact, was insistent that Mr..
Mead should do so, but the merchant
as steadily insisted that his place was
not for sale.
But you will sell If you can get
your price, won't you?" Tweed finally
asked You will certainly sell the
property for Tweed price?"

A high value upon the property at
that time would have been $500 an
acre. Today high value upon it
would probably be thousand dollars

than Tweed paid in the heyday of his
notoriety.
