WuRhlngton, Sept. 11. The Jong n:

General Grant was the greatest of all

In the first place Grant was a Demo.

an. ills last vote before the war was
for a radical pro-slavery Democrat, and
he was not even a supporter of Douglas
in the quadrangular fight of 1860. He

I lie naa served eight years as a k.
publican prosldent. The Democrats
'claimed htm. They had even talked -of
nominating turn In 1864. During tne
. Johnson administration there was an
earnest effort to get the Democratic
party on Its feet and to nominate Grant
! for president. If It had not been for
the quarrel between congress and the
president, which resulted in a violent
break between Grant and Johnson, the
probabilities are that Urant would have
j been nominated and elected by the
I ucmocrata in 1868.
Johnson Turned the Scale.
But Johnson had provoked Grant to
anger and had attempted to supersede
1i I in in command of the army by calling
Xieneral Thomas to that position. Urant
naturally found sympathizers among the
lieuublican leaders In congress, nearly
! all of whom hated Johnson with their
whole souIh. So when the Republicans

VCltile some of the southern states

'' In some respects, however, It was the
"maddest'' bunch of Republicans that
ever' assembled In a national conven
tion. The Impeachment trial of Presi
. ljit Johnson had been dragging Itself
out, and every Republican In the coun
try was absolutely confident that the
verdict of the senat would be "guilty."
Only four days before the Chicago con
vention met, the senate voted and John
eon was acquitted. The vote was 34
guilty, and IV not guilty. but that
lacked one vote of being the requisite
two-thirds. Seven Republicans had
Joined the 13 Democrats then In the
senate In voting for acquittal. In the
convention these senators were called
the 'seven traitors." Whatever may
be the final verdict of history In the
case of Andrew Johnson as a states
man. It is already unanimously agreed
that 'his acquittal In the Impeachment
proceedings wan rignt.
There was old Ben Wade, president
pro tmpore of the senate. If Johnson
had been convicted he would have suc
ceeded to tne presidency under tne old
order of succession. He thought It was
A certainty. Grant was to be nominated,
but wade was running ror vlce-presl
dent on the strength of promising pat
ronage for the few months he was to
through when Johnson was acquitted
and Schyler Colfax of Indiana got sec
ond place on the ticket.
Tha South yearly Republican!
One of the most remarkable features
of the Chicago convention of 1 868, in
view of later -events, was the presence
of Governor Joseph fi Brown of
Georgia, Brown had been, as he de
scribed himself, "a socesh Of the
secesh." lie was governor of Georgia
under the confederate government, but
came near to 'seceding from the con
federacy on- account of a quarrel with
President Jefferson Davis over the con
scription regulations." He presented
himself at Chicago, pledged himself to
the Republicans and told them that
they would let reconstruction stay
its nresent status the south would be
come Republican. Perhaps It would
hav-R done so but there was more re
construction to come. Governor Brown
afterward came to the United StatJ
senate as a Democrat and his son

The Democratic convention that yar
met in Tammany hall, on Fourteenth
street. New York, on July 4. It was
lnvallst and patriotic gathering,
and not even the Republicans could do

That convention, entirely distinct from
the one that had met in umcago in Aiay

vention the nomination of General Win
field Scott Hancock. But the Demo
crats didn't approve the recommenda
tion.
Despite the fact, not then so appar
ent. that the Democrats did not have t
ghost of a show to defeat Grant with
anvbodv thev mlffht name, there was
trreaf contest over the nomination. In

be president it was Salmon P. Chase.
And if ever an aspirant had a supporter
who was always faithful and always
enthusiastic, it was Chase's daughter,
Kate Chase Sprague. Chase had been a
candidate in various parties before the
war. he had opposed Lincoln for the
nomination in 1864, and Lincoln had re
turned good for evil by making him

Chase as secretary of the treasury early
in Ills administration.
Headed Off by Tilden.
It was now 1868 and Chase was again
a candidate, this t me for the Demo
emtio leadershiD. He had presided over
the trial of Andrew Johnson as chief
limttpp and the "fairness and Impar
tiality" of his rulinss were specifically
commended in the Democratic plaliorm.
Seymour had fixed It up to give Chase
the nomination. After the twenty-first
ballot was taken on the fifth day of the
convention Seymour left the chair to
go out in the nail and organize ine
Chase stampede, which was to come off
on the twenty-third ballot.
Now Samuel J. Tilden was there, and
he waft absolutely- oooosed (o the noml
nation of Chase. He was Informed as
to' Seymour's plana, and Seymour had
left the chair but a moment when Tilden
was In action. He started the Seymour
stamnede on the twenty-second ballot.
Seymour rushed back to the platfotm,
and as state alter state louowea Til

elKht vears afterward, when Samuel J.
Tilden was contesting his right "tv the
presidency before an extra constitution

that Tilden. who blocked her father's
last hope of the presidency, and was
revenged.
Grant, 814; Seymour, 80.
The election was a walkaway for
Grant. He received 214 electoral votes
to Seymour's 80. 3eymour carried only
eignt states Delaware, ijeorgia, Ken
tucky. Louisiana, Maryland. New Jer
sey, New lorlc and Oregon. The rirst
news from New York placed Seymour's
majority at about 7,oon the exact rig

urns" were tabulated It was found
hat Sevmour had received 429, 80S votes
and that Grant had received 41.83,
eavln -Seymour a plurality in the state
or exactly 10.000 votes. Such an exact
majority In such round numbers would
seem remarkable these days, but It
must be remembered that Tammany
