Samuel Fessenden's Story Of the Com
bination of Circumstances That
Raised Charles 3. Andrews
TO Chief Executive.

1T is my experience" said the late
Samuel Fessenden of Connecticut t
me some years before his death IL
1907, that in politics luck. or for
tuitous combination of circumstances
very often goes farther than real abil
ity in making a successful public ca
reer for an ambitious man."
Mr.. Fessenden spoke somewhat sad
ly. He was one of those men in poll
tics for whom lucky combinations
were not made. His lifelong ambition
was TO serve in the United States sen
ate, and although he was secretary to
he Republican national committee In
1884. was an intimate friend of James
). Blaine, and aided in making sena
tors from Connecticut and in nominate
ng successful candidates for governor
luck invariably turned against him
whenever the opportunity came for
his party to elect senator from Con-
necticut.
Now, take the case OF our supreme
court justice, Charles Andrews of
Litchfield," continued the man who de-
clared to Joe Manley of Maine that
The Lord hates gutter when Man
ley deserted the Reed presidential
boom In 1896. IF there ever was a
lucky combination of circumstances,
utterly unexpected. in which Judge
Andrews or his friends had no part
II was the one which made him COVER
nor Of Connecticut.
, I'm 1878. when il came time for the
Republicans TO hold their state con
vention, Connecticut had been stead
lily Democratic for six years. and 1t
was believed by some Republicans
oven that II was permanently in the
Democratic column. A good many of
our party workers were discouraged.
yet We had to make nomination for
governor. and so we sent a committee
to call upon Henry C. Robinson. who
had been the Republican candidate for
governor few years earlier. and who
had been badly defeated But when
We asked him to lead us once more he
shook his head.

Refused Loan to Vanderbilt

have secured the instant discount of
the note in any bank of the country.
which had available funds. Yet, when
Mr.. Vanderbilt came to take up the
matter of securing the loan he de-
sired, he was told that if it were made
to him the collateral would have to be
nothing more nor less than govern
ment bonds.
Mr.. Vanderbilt did not complain.
He realized fully the wild disorder in.
the money market, and then, too. he
had the bonds. They were ten-thou-
sand-dollar bonds. They were quoted
above par. They were practically as
good as gold the world over. They
would have been instantly accepted
at their face value in London or Paris.
Yet the subordinate who was nego-
tiating the loan for Mr. Vanderbilt
was finally compelled to stand in his
presence and report:
Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mr.. King will not
accept those United States bonds as
security TOT the note.
The head of the Vanderbilt fortune
looked the establishment he felt.
Edward King. of the Union Trust
will not accept government bonds as
security for a loan?" he repeated
slowly. as If not fully comprehending
for the moment what the officer had
reported to him. Then he fiared ND.
Am to be turned down in this way?"
he cried, as. possibly, thoughts of the
contents of his strong boxes swept
through his brain. IF government
bonds are not good security. are not
the very best security-bonds that are
quoted above par and are accepted atN
their face value for gold the world
over-then how are any loans to be
obtained?" He rose from his chair
and walked angrily up and down the
room. What is the matter with the
bonds?" he asked. at last.
Mr. King says he won't accept
government bonds of the denomination
of ten thousand dollars. He says IL
you want to make the loan with his
bank. you must offer as security gov
eminent bonds each of the face value
of $1,000 He won't give any reason
why he makes such a proviso."
He says that. does he?" exclaimed
Mr.. Vanderbilt well. you tell him
for me that l will not accept any such
ultimatum from him or any one else
and that | will arrange to make the
loan elsewhere"
That Mr.. Vanderbilt did, and he met
with no especial difficulty in getting
the sum he wanted with his $4,000
government bonds as security II was
the first and last time that Mr.. Van
derbilt was ever turned down. and IL
was probably the first and last time
that any banker ever refused as secur-
ity government bond of a certain
denomination. Indeed, in all respects,
Mr.. Kings proposition to w. H. Van
derbilt may be called the most extra
ordinary proposition, as regards secur-
ity for a loan, ever made; and for a
banker of great reputation such as
Mr.. King bore throughout the nation,
to refuse bonds of the denomination
of $4,000 and yet promise to accept
bonds of $1,000 face value each re-
fleets one OF the most curious condi-
tons ever known in the history of
American banking.
