asked. "Or John sherman!" Sherman
was an avowed candidate.
General Arthur looked at me queer
ly for moment before replying.
DO you really think that the New
York delegation would support the
nomination of Sherman in Wow Of
what has happened?" he asked. He re-
ferred to the fact that It was John
Sherman. who. as secretary Of the
treasury under Hayes. had caused
Arthur's removal from the once Of
collector of the port Of New York
an act that greatly angered the New
York organization.
For myself l SHOULD like to see
some one nominated from one OF the
states west of the Mississippi river II
we can not nominate General Grant.
Arthur continued.
THE temptation will be great. Gen
erai Arthur" I said. ito publish the
fact that you. and presumably your
friends, have some Republican who
lives west Of the Mississippi IN mind

nominate General Grant"

General Arthur smiled. 1.-THE Vice
presidency is so remote contingency
until the candidate for president is
nominated that we haven't given 1t
moments thought" he said. Almost
any good Republican who lives In tho
east would make good candidate for
vice-president Personally. should
be inclined to name some one from
Pennsylvania or New England. but the
matter at this time IL not worth mo-
ment's consideration"
That was the attitude Of the man
who few days later was himself to
be dominated for vice president and
who. As We paced the platform to-
gether, tacitly admitted to me that he
was contemplating his election on the
followins winter as United States sen

How Grant Made First Speech


worth while to have somebody 60 to \
little suburb OF GaIena. some three or
four miles beyond the city limits. and
make a speech that would urge the
young farmers round about to enlist in
our company. Rawlins was well known
and liked in that community. and !
asked him II he would undertake this
task. He replied that he would be
glad to do so. adding. az an after
thought. that he'd take Captain Grant
with him.
We'll. at the appointed time Raw
Inns and Captain Grant drove out to
the suburb and Rawlins told me after

Persuaded BY Rawiins, He Addressed
. Meeting Near GaIsna to Re-
sruit Company After the
Attack on Sumter.

Whsn General Grant became presi-
dent o. March 4. 1869. he made John
A. Rawlins secretary Of war. Shortly
after he had become major OF
volunteer Illinois regiment In the
first year of the civil war. Rawlins re-
signed that post in order to assume
the duties of assistant adjutant gen
eral on General Grants stan. From
then on until the close Of the war.
Rawlins served on Grants staff. He
was the youngest of all the men who
served with the great commander. but
nevertheless. he was one OF Grants
closest advisers in military matters
He also was his chiefs intimate
friend: and 1t was most natural Tor
Grant, when he knew for certainty
that - would be called upon to make

company Of volunteers that left Grants
