WHEN PRESIDENT
GULPED A FATAL
OF
'. There are only four kinds of of
fice that may be attained by a
clticen under the constitution uf
the United States legislative, Ju
dicial, military and executive.
Andrew Johnson Is the only man
In American history who attained
to all these and was both vice
president and president of the
United States. Since he never went
to Bchool a day In his life, there
' must have been ability, talent,
courage. Integrity and statesman-
' ship of the highest order to have
! reached this mark. Surely no or-
', dlnary "Ignorant and uncouth
demagogue.' as some of his ene-
mles called him, ever could have
attained by chance or accident
. such a record as this.

as much for the nation." said Un

aid with emphasis: "Don't you
bother about Andy's drinking. He
made a bad slip the other day, but
I've known Andy Johnson a great
many years and he's no drunkard."
Tet half those who have heard
of him believe he was a drunkard
who disgraced his seat In the
fVhite House. And half the others
till believe that he was a republi

wood Moore In the Satuday Eve
ning Post.
Truth Questioned Even Now
They will scarcely now. believe
the-truth that he was not even a
habitual drinker, that he was not
a republican hut was a democrat,
elected with Lincoln on a war
tloket of both parties known as
the National Union party, and that
Instead of betraying his parly, he
stood tmpeachmont, ostracism and
ruin rather than -betray his own
nd Lincoln's principles.
Andy that Is the term of en
dearment that the great emanci
pator loved to call him, and that
Is the term the people of Tennes
see love to use to honor and revere
his memory today. :
Johnson, at the beginning ot the
war, as United States senator, was
In a warproof seat In Washington.
He might have stayed there and
thundered only with oratory, as so
many others did. Lincoln, realis
ing his courage and his fitness for
the' perilous post, Importuned him
to aot as military governor of Ten
nessee, This he did.
But In February, 1886, he was tt
worn, broken and now a very 111
man from three years of It flu.
perhaps, now; almost pneumonia
then. His physician told him that
to go to Washington for this In-
. auguratlon would doubtless be
fatal.. ' Johnson wrote Lincoln,
stating his condition and asking
that the oath be administered to
him In Nashville. Lincoln wired
him to come on If humanly pos
sible. .
From Sick Bed to Washington
Lincoln's wire was almost a
command. He left his sick bed.
risking his llfo to make the long
Journey of three or four days to
the national capital. ' The one pre
ventvle ot pneumonia In that day
was whiskey. Johnson's physicians
kept him stimulated with It during
the long Journey.
There, on that memorable cold
day of March 4, 185 memorable
In that Lincoln ultored his last
message of "malice toward none:
with charity tor all" they bundled
his sick running mate off to the
capltol In a closed carriage with
Hannibal Hamlin, the out-going
. vice president. He had taken no
stimulant when he had left his
rooms at the old Klrkwood hotel
and complained on the way, to
Hamlin, ot feeling faint and that
he feared he would be very 111 and
not able to speak.
The outgoing vice president, so
the story goes, happened to have
his flask with him, and Johnson.

French brandy, gauged It to the
standard of his own 0 per cent

nearly every puhllo man of his day

still complaining at being III. John
W. Forney, sceretary of tne sen
ate, went personally to the bar
and brought him a tumblerful of
the same deadly French brandy
and "was amased and aghast" to
see Johnson toss oft the full tum
bler as It It were water!
Rpcwh Was Viifortunuto
When he arose to accept his of
fice. It was noticed that he had no
manuscript In his hand and In a
short time It was seen from his
speech that he was overstlmulated
not so greatly that his speceh did
not at last ring true to his msny
, others. .that had carried him from
his Ullor shop to the presidency.
His greatest offense appears to
have been directed at the gold
braided diplomats In the gallery,
when he reminded them with be
coming earnestness that they were
as naught uniform, gold braids
and all compared to the plain
people ot the land!
It has been smiled off by the
world since then, but not among
his constituents In Tennessee. To
them It was more serious than Im
peachment and la still pointed out
as a stern example ot retributive
Justice.
Old Squire Jeff Coleman, noted
was and Justice of the peace of
Columbia, Tenn.. summed up that
rlew to the writer 40 years ago:
"We can forgroe Andy for takln' a
nip too much an' tellln' them gold
braided fellows what they were,
but we can never forgive Andy's
lack of Judgment an' raisin In
mlxln' their furrln llcker with
