Nehemiah Day Sperry. SO, who died in
representative in Congress continuously
from 1894 to 1910. He was one of the
founders of the Republican party and
one of the trusted advisers of Lincoln.
To the present generatio he was known
as the father of the rural free delivery
lating to post offices and post roads. AS
an historical incident it should be re-
membered that Mr.. Sperry pledged his
entire personal fortune in the Civil war
to guarantee the building of the Monitor.
The national naval board refused to au-
thorize the boats construction unless a
bond of 100000 was given, not only for
the boats construction as specified, but
also for the guarantee that 1t would
whip the Merrimac. Daniel Drew of
New York said that he would sign a
bond pledging that amount IL Sperry
would also do so. Sperry and Drew at
tached their signatures, and all day on
Hampton Roads was raging Sperry, with
his friend, Cornelius S. Bushnell of New
Haven, who backed Ericsson in the
building of the boat, waited in the tele-
graph office in New Haven to learn the
outcome of the fight. Finally the news
of the Merrimac's defeat came over the
wire, and Bushnell's hand came down
over Sperry's broad back with hearty
"Sperry, your bond is safe"
