NEW NEW NEWS Or YESTERDAY
The Civil War Governor
Who Gave His Salary TO
the Soldiers
BY Holland.

There is a little bit of unwritten
history associated with the election
of William A. Buckingham-who was
known as the war governor OF
Connecticut'-as a United States
senator in 1865" said II. II. Stark
weather TO me in his rooms at the
old Willard Hotel at Washington In
1874. Mr.. Starkweather had been for
ten years a representative in Con-
gress from the district in which was
situated the home of Governor Buck
ingham. The two men were very in
innate, both personally and politi-
cally.
About a month before Governor
Buckingham's inauguration as COVER
nor, in May, 1861, the proclamation OF
President Lincoln, which called for
seventy-five thousand volunteers
was issued Connecticut's quote was
three regiments. Governor Bucking-
ham was at that time serving his
third term as governor of Connecti-
cut. The Legislature was not in SEES
sion and it was impracticable to call
a special session because the old
Legislature had not qualified
THE treasury of the State of Con-
nuecticut at that time had no consid-
cradle cash balance. Even if it had
possessed a sufficient fund to pay foI
the mastering in and equipping OF
the three regiments the governor had
no authority to make use of the
States money in that way.
I'm consultation with some of his
friends, Governor Buckingham said
that the Connecticut regiments must
be raised promptly and must be in
the field as soon as any State troops
But it was imperative that funds be
instantly secured in order TO meet
the expenses of equipping and trans
porting these troops. There were
some imperative, although small, ex-
penses that had to be provided fol-
without delay Governor Buckingham
met these by contributing his entire
salary for a year as governor. He
said he would willingly do as much
as that.
"The governor found, however, thai
while some men were willing to con
tribute, as gifts certain sums OF
money, yet, if he relied upon per
sonal benefactions to equip the three
regiments and send them to the
front.
THE governor was not a man oil
large wealth. l presume his entire
fortune at that time was less thar
two hundred thousand dollars. How
ever, he went to two or three banks
in hartford and to one or two banks
in his home town of Norwich and
asked the bankers if they would adj
vance, upon no other security than
his own written guarantee or in
dorsement of the notes. the money
that was needed. 1t amounted to q
considerable sum. I thing it was
somewhere about fifty thousand dol
lars.
by thus pledging his own credit
and giving his name as the sole Sc
curity for the advances Governor
Buckingham was able to bring about
within ten days the enlistment, the
equipment and the despatching to the

The Salisbury dinner was Hamlet
with the prince absent. OF course Mr..
Salisbury had a good excuse for not
being present, and so did many other
excellent gentlemen who received in
vitations. Also of course, the dinner
was not designed to be boost for Mr.
Saulsbury's senatorial aspirations, not
at all, and in this respect II was a
great success. But what was the pur-
pose Of the dinner, anyhow? On that
point It is as great a mystery as is the
identity OF the prominent Democrat"
who prevented the confirmation OF the
appointment of James l.. Wolcott, the
elder, as Judge, of the United States
Circuit Court for this district, which
is as misty as ever, notwithstanding
the tallow-dip light that Mr.. John f..
Salisbury has attempted to throw
upon the subject Those who are ia
miliar with Delaware politics and
have. a line on the ostrich-like traits
Of the Salisbury cast OF mind Will
not find much trouble in guessing the
answer to both problems. But John
f. is not so far away from the solu-
ton to one of the riddles. His self
inflicted explanation is generally re-
garded as first cousin to the real ex-
PLANTATION.
If Willard Salisbury were not a
candidate for United States Senator,
would there have been a Salisbury

front of three Connecticut regiments.
In due time the Legislature pro-
vided the means by which these OBJ
legations to the banks were paid.
Then, too, in the four years Of the
war Governor buckingham contribut-
ed every dollar of the annual salary
as governor in one way or another
to expense or to the advantage of the
Connecticut troops.
"In 1868 the Legislature was to
elect a United States Senator. There
were two or three candidates before
the Republican caucus. Governor Buck
lnghams friends had brought for
ward his name, but it looked as if
politicians in other parts OF the State
would succeed in nominating some
one else for the Office. Then it was
said to nearly all of the Republican
legislators that Governor Bucking-
ham had turned over nearly every
penny Of his salary for four years to
the Connecticut troops, directly or
indirectly, and it was also explained
to them that the governor at the be-
ginning of the war personally, and
alone, had pledged his credit and for
tune to secure advances Of money
made by the banks for the purpose of
equipping and sending the Connecti-
cut troops to the front.
when this information was given
to the legislators they were also ask
ed this single question: Don't you
think the State of Connecticut owes
something to a man who made these
sacrifices?' That question was answer
ed by the triumphant nomination Of
Governor Buckingham to the United
States Senate"

THAT DEMOCRATIC DTNNER.

THAT DEMOCRATIC DINNER.
From the Wilmington Morning News.
(Rep)
Rather hard on the young men who
promoted the Democratic : dinner,
which was scheduled to be love
feast, is the fact that IL turned out un-
satisfactorily and that the guest of
honor could not be present. But the
young Democrats have learned a thing
or two about Delaware Democratic
politics that they did not know before.
Naturally they looked to the future
as bright and rosy with promise.
The party had gained a great victory,
under a national chief, Mr.. Wilson.
"lo had been supposed to represent
what has been called the new Democ-
racy But they have found out that
there is little If anything new in Della
ware Democracy-tlat il lives in the
past, that the old enmities are re-
yived on the slightest provocation as
soon as honors are to be distributed.
true, the young men might have made
the dinner an occasion for general
rejoicing, in fact some of them so
regarded 1t. But the young men also
wished to honor Mr.. Salisbury, whom
they consider the leader of the party
in the state. Those of them who were
az the Baltimore convention saw the
Delaware delegation and those who
We're not there heard about il. The
other Democratic leaders most of them
whose friends have been kicking IN
such a rumpus over the dinner were
conspicuous by their absence at Bal
tlmore and some of them were not
very conspicuous during the cam
paign Hence, as we have said, the
young men thought that Mr.. Sauls-
bury should figure in the dinner
We doubt whether the dinner or
the turmoil in which the Democrats
have plunged themselves will have
any material bearing on the election
of a Senator unless something new
turns up. Even if Mr.. Salisbury has
not asked for support for senator. it
is not reasonable to presume that his
friends have been asleep at the switch.
Good politicians know their men. or
think they do, and doubtless Mr..
Saulsbury's friends are pretty well
convinced that he has a majority of
the Democratic caucus. But rs we
said during the campaign, even If the
Democrats should be successful, the
national committeeman would not
have a walkover as some persons
assumed. We expected that the pres
ent fight would develop It was mere
ly delayed. Should Mr. Salisbury
secure a majority of theDemocratic
caucus, if the present combat against
him continues, it is not by any means
assured that he will be elected, for
a majority of the caucus during late
years in Delaware has not necessarily
meant the choice of the caucus can
didate. The Bull Moosers turned the
Legislature over to the Democrats,
but along with the bouquet a bunch
of very large thorns was concealed,
and the Bull Moosers must be laugh
ing at the way in which the thorns are
scratching.

STATE platform

The Republicans of Idaho, as repre-
scented by the Republican state plat
form convention, constituted as au-
thorized by the provisions of the
direct primary law, hereby announce
and promulgate the principles and
platform of the party at Boise, Idaho,
on this. the 18th day of June, 1912
Ratification of the National Platform
and Candidates.
The Republican party of Idaho
hereby reaffirms if unfaltering allegi-
ance to the principles of the Repub-
lican party as exempli6ed in the
splendid administrations of Presidents
Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft. We
ratify and indorse the nominations
made by our national convention at
Chicago for president and vice-presi-
dent, and for the progressive and con-
structive platform of principles there
adopted.
While recognizing that there ex-
listed honest differences of opinion
concerning the choice of candidates,
we feel that the best interests of Our
state require the continuance in power
of Republican administration. In
this belief, and with confidence in the
result, we pledge to each other and
to Republicans everywhere our earn

William H. Taft for president and
James S. Sherman for vice-president
President Taft has been firm and

shown by his attitude toward such
purely western questions as the Borah-
Jones 3-year homestead bill, the other
various reclamation acts, the restoring
to public entry large areas of agricul-
