Benjamin n. Bristow, by Seeking Re-
publican Nomination, Defeated
Roscoe ConkIinq, Who Was
Grants Choice for Honor.

When President Grant, in 1874,
called Benjamin H. Bristow Of Louis
Vile, KY, to the cabinet as secretary
Of the treasury, it was said that the
president had made no more fitting
appointment than that Of this lawyer,
who rose to the rank of colonel in the
Union army during the Civil war.
Bristow was a handsome man.
A few months after Bristow entered
the cabinet what were called the
Whisky Ring frauds were exposed,
scandals involving undervaluation OF
whisky so that the treasury depart
ment did not receive the lawful inter
nal revenue tax Bristow, as secre-
tary of the treasury, prosecuted these
cases vigorously; and in the course OF
the prosecution some OF President
Grants friends seemed likely to be-
come smirched Grants intense 10y
atty to his friends, and Bristow's
conscientious devotion to duty and
principle, brought about strained rela-
tons, SO that at last Bristow retired
nom the cabinet.
This occurred in 1876, presidential
election year, and instantly BristoW
became the favored candidate OF the
so-called reform element in the Re
