TENS Much History OF Mays
Vile During War.

Seabreeze, Fla, February 9. 1917.
My Dear Mr.. Mathews:
Your letter Of January 25th, re-
Questing me to contribute some per-
sonal "reminiscences of Maysville, for
the semi-contennial edition Of the
EVANSVILLE REPUBLICAN," and
including such matters of interest as
may recall, respecting the founding
of that paper March End, 1867, after
following me about the country, final

Of the original subscribers to that
staunch little publication, that began
what was then thought precarious
existence, but which has, through its
consistent course and progressive
spirit, commanded the respect and
support of the community for fifty
years.
1t doesn't seem to me so long ago,
and yet when l turn over the pages
of memory and recall the faces of the
familiar ones Of my own age, and OF
the splendid men and women tour

ing generation, that made the life of
the dear old city at that time, l real

George AIDE says, "a man is old on
the day when he begins doddering Of
the past, instead of planning for the
future" Well, in complying with
your request, l hope this one time
won't count, though l must confess
there have been times during the
years since called Maysville, home
when in fancy's dream l have visited
the charming little city under the hill,
wandered up one street and down an
other, visited with the friends of the
bygone, and inhaled the sweetness and
fragrance Of their presence; lived
again the care-free and happy days
of boyhood, followed with excitement
and boyish ambition, the great fire en-

turned to the realities of the latter
day.

ditions resulting from the Civil War;
II had sent It's sons into both the
Northern and Southern Armies, and
their families, with but few excep-
tons, Loyalty supported the cause for
which their sons fought; quite natur-
ally, friendships were broken, strong
partisan feelings prevailed, and for a
long time conditions existed that
could be relieved only by the soften
ing influence Of time. Because Of my
youth and the violent opposition of
my parents, / did not enlist in the
Army, but spent the year 1864 in a
civilian position with the Army of
West Virginia, and was present at
number of the battles fought in that
State. At the close Of the War, ]
learned that many Of Maysville's boys
in the Southern Army, had taken part
in engagements where my duty had
taken me, and one of these was a
most intimate boyhood friend. 1t
gives me pleasure to say our friend
ship was Immediately resumed, and
further, that so far as | could OBJ
serve, those on the opposite sides who
had been friends before the war, were
more readily reconciled to the new
conditions than those who had prev
iously been friends, but who had taken
no part in the activities of either side.
To large extent, the social life Of
the City had been practically destroy
ed, and during this period it was Meth
er so gracious or generous as it had
been in the past years.
Two newspapers, the EVANSVILLE
EAGLE" issued as weekly and as
tri-weekly, democratic, but to some
extent independent, and the MAYS
WILLIE BULLETIN" strictly demo-
cratic, together with the Cincinnati
dailies, the GAZETTE" the "COM-
MERCIAL" and the ENQUIRER,
supplied the reading public of Mays
vile with the news of the day, and
well do remember "Uncle Billie
Herb" the agent for the Cincinnati
papers, and the evenings that were
spent often until midnight, especially
during exciting political campaigns
and other occasions of deep interest,
waiting for Uncle Billie to open his
packages after the arrival of the boat,
that we might secure and scan the
papers before going to bed.
In 1860, either six or seven votes
were cast in Maysville and Mason
county for Abraham Lincoln; the first
Republican votes ever cast in the city
and county. The offenders being as
nearly as l remember, my father,
Samuel Lyon Blaine, who having at
tended some of the debates between
Lincoln and Douglas, had become
impressed with the greatness of the
man: John T. Dye, Charles B. Phister,
William 2. Sedden, and Morris Hutch
ms, Sr. believe l am correct as to
these; of the others I have no record.
In no other place in the country, ex-
cept perhaps in the extreme Southern
States, did excitement run so high
during the Presidential Campaign of
1860, as in the border states. The City
of Maysville was no exception men
stood aghast when it became known
they had those among them who
avowed their intention to vote for
Abraham Lincoln; friends counseled
and pleaded, the fair name of the city
was at stake, all kinds of arguments,
