agement Of that great corporation un-
til his death in the early nineties
justified the selection of this quiet

Green. that William Orion and his
very warm and close personal friend.
Senator Roscoe Conkling, were among
the few conspicuous Republican lead
ers in 1876 who were convinced that
Samuel j. Tilden had been lawfully
elected president that year. Senator
Conkling was 20 thoroughly convinced
Of this that he would take no part in
the tactics adopted by congress by
means Of which an electoral commits
sion was appointed as sort OF um-
pire or arbitrator to decide the dis
puted point as to whether Tilden or
Hayes had received a majority Of the
electoral votes: and have always
strongly suspected that Senator Conk-
ling's belief that Tilden had received
q lawful majority of the electoral vote
was based upon information which he
obtained from his friend, William Or
ton.
"A short time before Mr.. Orton's
death he and I were speaking of the
presidential controversy of 1875. Mr..
Orion remarked that he could not I'M

to be made upon the Confederate posi-.

~ without fear. nor did he at the time
he received a bullet know that he
had been wounded. The ball passed
through q memorandum book and
some papers which were in his left
vest pocket. The bulk of paper was
sufficiently thick to cause the bullet to
become practically spent when II
reached his flesh. But for this Inter.
position he would have been killed in.

General Hancock's attention had

he had decided to place him in charge

in Chapman that he assigned Chap

Shortly after the brigade went on

met General Hancock. The colonel's
bearing was very soldierly. There was

courage. but he said to General Han
