Simon Cameron Of Pennsylvania was not OF
Iincolns choosing Indeed, his selection by the
politicians was contrary to the latter'S specific
instructions-not to be bound by any contracts
and to make no bargains. But his managers
did, when they felt their candidates fate de-
pended upon a concession to the Pennsylvania
delegation, promise If Lincoln were elected to
put Cameron in the cabinet lincoln lived up
to the bargain made.
As a politician, Cameron had q bad name
He was successful and had host Of friends
and enough enemies to keep him always on the
alert. He made money and became rich. and
because he knew how to do this when others
failed he was accused Of being dishonest"
whereas, "shrewd" would probably have been
the better word.
He was poor boy; entered printing Office
as a printers devil; frequently studied until
midnight, arising the next morning at to
go to work Later. as journeyman printer,
he came to the Federal Capital and set type
on the debates of Congress- branching out into
editorial work in his home State. AS political
boss he had no superior then or since. He
built up the great Pennsylvania political ma
chine that is running today in full force. and
after leaving the cabinet for brief while.
served as Minister to Russia.
In the United States Senate. his services
began in 1857 and continued until he resigned
four years later Elected again in 1857 he
served for 10 years, when he again resigned and
his place was taken by his son. James Donald
Don" Cameron, who continued to represent
the Keystone State in the Upper House until
1897.
Though his integrity often asSailed. yet
convincing proof was always lacking. but no
one was ever brave enough to accuse him Of
disloyalty to his friends or to his country.

Because OF limited funds the purchase pro-

Lincoln frequently held weighty consultations
with the great Secretary Of War, when he stop

his Summer residence in the Soldiers Home
grounds.
I INCOI.N'S Attorney General, Edward Bates,
l. served for more than three years and a
half, when he was succeeded by James Speed
of Kentucky. This appointment was indeed
purely personal one, resulting from the devoted
friendship the President had for Joshua Speed
that gentleman's father.
This appointment resulted in q very clever
ruse by Mr.. Lincoln, who under no circum-
stances could be considered an amateur poll
tician. Speeds nomination, 1t seems, had been
sent to the Senate about the same time as that
of Mr.. Chase for the Chief Justiceship. The
latters was promptly confirmed, but the for
mer's for some unknown reason was held up.
Therefore, Lincoln, exercising good strategy.
delayed signing Judge Chase's commission. Nat
urally, some Of the latters friends, becoming
alarmed, asked the President why the commits
sion had not been delivered. To which Mr..
Lincoln replied: 1.-The Senate has not acted
upon my nomination of Mr.. Speed When that
is done will consider whether I viii deliver
my commission to Mr.. Chase or not" The de-
sired results were produced, and Speed was
soon confirmed.
