HOW
HARRI
SON ISTER
BUNCOED PLAT!
Promised Him Scat in Cabinet for
Support of New York and Then,
After Election Coolly Turned Him
Down.
PRODU
CESB
G CHUNK
CHICAGO, IUs., March 9. The
etory ot an alleged promise ot a
place In Harrison's cabinet to Sen
ator Thomas C. Piatt and his failure
to get tho portfolio Is told In a let
ter slRned by William K. Curtis and
published In the Record Herald.
Curtis explains that Senator Piatt
gave him the statement on condition
that It Bhould not bo oponcd until
after Piatt died.
It tells the following story of the
political battle of 18SS:
"Tho Now York delegation vreni
to the convention of 181S8 support
ing one of their own number, Mr.
Depow, for the presidential nomina
tion. Thoy voted for him continu
ally during tho first week but when
Sunday came they decided that he
could not succeed and held a meet
ing to discuss their future action.
There were Blaine men and Harrison
and Sherman men in the delegation
and friends of other candidates, those'
who favored Harrison and Sherman
being in tho majority and about ev
enly divided.
"Stephen H. Elklns who had paid
a hurried visit to Indianapolis a few
days ago, r turned with an unde
livered letter In his pocket. It was
signed 'Benjamin Harrison and was
addressed to 'Thomas C. Piatt.'
"The writer informed Mr. Piatt
that Mr. Elklns was authorized to
Epeak for him and any arrangements
that the two gentlemen might make
would, be ratified.
"A memorable conference took
place in Mr. Piatt's room at which
Mr. Elklns stated .ho was authorized
to say that If the New York delega
tion would give General Harrison
their support the latter would ap
point Mr. Piatt secretary of the
treasury in case of hi9 election and
allow him to control federal patron
age in the state of New York.
"The New York delegation were
informed ot this proposition and ac
cepting it in good faith, decided to
cast a solid vote for General Harri
son. As all the world knows, this
move on the part of New York
brought reinforcements from other
states and General Harrison was
nominated.
"Mr. Piatt is not a rich man, but
his credit Is good and he went out
and borrowed $150,000 upon his own
personal note and turned tho money
ovei to the treasurer of the national
committee, Mr. Quay has frequent
ly asserted that that money elected
President Harrison. Several weeks
after the election Senator HIscock of
New York went to Indlanoplis and
In the name of the Republicans of
New York went to Indianapolis and
In the name ot tho Republicans of
New York formaly asked the ap
pointment of Mr. Piatt as secretary
of the treasury. To the astonish
ment of Senator HIscock, the presi
dentelect said be could not offer Mr.
Piatt a scat in his cabinet and when
asked for his reasons declined to
jgivo them."
