SHE SNUBBED MONROE.
incident In the Later Life of Mrs.
Alexander Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton.
A striking incident in the later life
of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton. who sur
vived her husband fifty years. is told
in the words of an eyewitness in AL
Ian Mcl.ane Hamilton's Intimate Life
of Alexander Hamilton"
Mrs. Hamilton could never forget the
behavior OF Monroe when he. with
Muhlenberg and Venables, accused
Hamilton OF financial irregularities at
the time of the Reynolds incident.
Many years afterward when they were
both aged people Monroe visited her,
and an interview occurred which was
witnessed by nephew. who was then
lad of fifteen. II had" he says.
been sent to call upon my Aunt Ham
ilton one afternoon. | found her in
her garden and was there with her
talking when maidservant came
from the house with card 1t was
the card of James Monroe. She read
the name and stood holding the card.
much perturbed. Her voice sank, and
she spoke very low as she always did
when she was angry. What has that
man come TO see me forT escaped
from her. Why, Aunt Hamilton said
1, don't you know it's Mr. Monroe.
and he's been president. and he is Wis.,
fling here now in the neighborhood
and has been very much made of and
invited everywhere. and SOL suppose
he has come to call and pay his re-
spects to you?' After moments hes
itation Il will see him. she said
1.-THE maid went back to the house.
My aunt followed. walking rapidly,
after her. AS she entered the parlor
Monroe rose. She stood in the middle
of the room facing him. She did not
ask him to sit down. He bowed and.
rather a set speech-that it was many
years since they had met. that the
lapse of time brought its softening in
fluences, that they both were nearing
the grave. when past differences could
be forgiven and forgotten-in short,
from his point of view a very nice.
conciliatory. well turned little speech.
She answered, still standing and look
ing at him: Mr.. Monroe, If you have
come to tell me that you repent. that
you are sorry. very sorry, for the mis-
representations and the ISLANDERS and
the stories you circulated against my
dear husband-if you have come to say
this. understand it. But otherwise
no lapse OF time. no nearness to the
grave, makes any difference She
stopped speaking. Monroe turned. took
up his hat and left the ROOM"
In this connection it lEy be said
that the oft repeated story of the
meeting OF Mrs. Hamilton and Aaron
Burr many years later on an Albany
steamboat is 81 fiction. but 1t was prob
ably suggested by the Monroe incident

wing OF the republican party has been
short of its power In the senate it is
furnished by a close scrutiny of the

mating factor in legislation, and the
peopla may really after all expect
some relief.
AT least seven Republican senators
are not in sympathy with the Dawson
policies and they hold the whip hand.
Or. Hatfield's advent as president Of
the senate makes him the logical can

republican political horizon. Lochni-
