Senator Wright strongly favored the
plan but feared that the South would
defeat him In convention, It being well
known that Van Buren was opposed to
the annexation of Texas. However,
lie advised his friend to make a fight
for the nomination and this the latter
resolved to do. Thenceforward until
middle May I gave my time largely to
the Inditing of letters for the senator
in Vun Buren's behalf.
The time appointed for the conven
tion In Baltimore drew near. One day
I Took the Stage to Baltimore Next
Day,
(tie senator received an Intimation that
lie wouhl he put in nomination If Van
Puren failed, Immediately ho wroto
to Judge Pino of Ogdonsburg, chair
man of the delegation from the north
ern district of New York, forbidding
such use of his name on the ground
l.hat his acquiescence would Involve dis
loyalty to his fiieud the ex-prosldeut
He gave me leave to go to the con
vention on my way home to meet Sally,
I had confided to Mrs. Wright the de
tails of niy llttlo love affair I had to
and she had shown n tender, sympa
. thetlc Interest In t!ie story.
TIip senntor had said to me one dny,
with n gentle smile:
"Hart, you have business In Cunton,
t believe, with which trilling matters
like the choice of a presldeut and the
Mexican question cannot be permitted
to Interfere. You must tnko time to
spend n day or two at tho -convention
In Baltimore on your way. . . . Be
ltort to our friend Cine, who will look
lifter jour comfort there. The experi
ence ought to he useful to a young man
v. ho, I hope, will have work to do in
future convent Ions,"
I took the stage to Baltimore next
day the twenty-sixth of May. The
convention thrilled me tho flags, the
great crowd, the bands, the songs, tho
speeches, the cheering I see nod hear
It nil In my talk. The uproar lasted
for twenty minutes when Van Buren's
.. name wos put In nomination.
Then the undercurrent 1 The South

sibly for Van Bii.vn nnd stubbornly

bad accomplished his defeat before the
balloting begnu. It continued for two
days without a choice. The enemy
Stood firm. After adjournment that

The ex -president bad withdrawn and

his bund. When order wus at last re
stored he began:
"Gcntbnien, as a friend of the
learned senator and as a resident of
the county which Is the proud pos
sessor of bis homo, your enthusiasm
has n welcome sound to me ; but I hap
pen to know that Senator Wright will
not allow his nuiiie to go before the
convention."
Ho read the letter of which I knew.
Mr. Benjamin F. Butler then said:
"When that letter was written Sena
tor Wright was not aware that Mr.
Vmi Buren's nomination could not be
liceonp!it.hed, nor was he aware that
Ms own nomination would be the al
liost wnntilinous wish of this conven
tion. I have talked with the loading

that he a strong party man can re
sist this unanimous call of the party
with whose help he has won Immortal
fame? No, It Is not so. It cannot be
so. We must dispatch a messenger to
him by borse at once who shall take
to him from his friend Judge Fine a
frank statement of the imperious de
mand of this convention and a request
that he telegraph a withdrawal of bis
letter In the morning."
The suggestion was unanimously ap
proved and within an hour, mounted

my way to Washington with the mes

I had two days to spare on my sched

turning to Baltimore next day I should
reuch Cunton in good time.
It was the kind of thing that only a
lithe, supple, strong-hearted bid such
as I was In the days of my youth,
could relish speeding over a dark
road by the light of the stars nnd a
half-moon, with a horse that loved to
kick up n wind. My brain was In a
fever, for the notion had come to me
that I was making history. J
The lure of fame and high place hur
ried nie on. Wtth the senator In the
presidential chair I should bo well

Benjamin Grlnishaw. A relay awaited
me twenty-three miles down the road.
Well, I reached Washington very
sore, but otherwise In good form, soon
after daybreak. I was trembling with
excitement when I put my horse In the
stable and rang the bell at our door. It
seemed to me that I was crossing the
divide between big and little tiling A
few steps more and I should be look-'
Ing down Into the great valley of the
future. Yet, now that I was there, I
began to lose confidence.
The butler opened tho door.

Just returned from a walk and was In
his study. I found him there. .- .
"Well, Bart, how does this happen?"
he nsked.

I presented the letter.

"Well, Burt, what do you think wo
had better do about it?"
"I I wns hoping you you would
take It," I stammered.
"That's because (he excitement of
the convention Is on you," he an
swered. "Let us look nt the compass.
They have refused to nominate Mr.
Van Buren because he Is opposed to
the annexation of Texas. On that sub
ject the will of the convention Is now
clear. It Is possible that they would
nominate nie. We don't know about
that, we never shall know. If they
did, and I accepted, what would be ex
pected of me Is also clear, ..They
would expect mo to nbnndsn my prin
ciples and that course of conduct
which I conceive to be best for the
country. Therefore I should have to
accept It under false pretenses and
take their yoke upon me. Would you
think the needle pointed that way?"
"No," I answered.
Immediately he turned to bis desk
and wrote the telegram which fixed
his place In history. It said no.

a moment fallen, I looked nt him with
a feeling of awe. What sublime calm

out of tho open window. Always I

morning sun,.,it falling upon tils face
and shoulders,
Ho had observed my
emotion and I think It had touched
him a little. There was a moment of
silence. A curious Illusion came to me
then, for It seemed as If I beard the
sound of distant music. Looking
thoughtfully out of the window he
nsked:
"Bnrt, do you know when cur first
fathers turned out of the trnll of the
beast and found the long road of hu
manity? I think It was when they dis
covered the compass In their hearts."
So now nt last we have come to that
high and lonely place, where we may
look back upon the toilsome, adven
turous way we have traveled with the
aid of tho candle ar.d the compass.

I bave sought only to do
Justice to my friend and to give my
country a name; long neglected, but
equal In glory to those of Washington
and Lincoln.
Come, let us take one last look to
gether down the road we have trav
eled, now dim In the 'evening shad
ows. Scattered along It are the little
houses of the poor of which I have
written. See the lights In the win
dowsthe lights that are shining into
the souls of the young the eager,
open, expectant, welcoming souls of
the young and the light carries many
things, but best of all a respect for the
old, unchanging way of the compass.
After all that Is the end and aim of
the whole matter believe me.
My life has lengthened Into these
days when most of our tasks are ac
complished by machinery. We try to
make men by the thousand, In vast
educational machines, nnd no longer
by the one ns of old. It was the lov
ing, forgiving, forbearing, patient.
ceaseless toll of mother and father on
the tender soul of childhood which
quickened that Inextinguishable sense
of responsibility to God and man In
these people whom I now leave to the
Judgment of my countrymen.
I have lived to see the ancient plan
of kingcraft, for self-protection, com
ing back Into the world. It demands
that the will nud conscience of every
Individual shall be regulated and con
trolled Dy some conceited prince,
backed by tin nrmy. It cannot fall, I
foresee, to accomplish such devasta
tion In the human spirit as shall Im
peril the dourest possession of man.
If ono Is to follow the compass he
can have but one king his God.

Baltimore that forenoon. They had
nominated Mr. Polk of Tennesse for.
president aud Silas Wright for vice '
president, tho latter by acclamation. Ij
knew that Wright would decline the:
honor, as he did.
I hurried northward to keep my ap
pointment with Bnllly. The "boats wero

saw your mother, my son. (These

She was In the stern of a birch canoe,
all dressed In white with roses In her
hair. I raised my hat and she threw

waving her handkerchief. They
stopped nnd Sully nsked III a tone of
playful seriousness :
"Young hum, why have you come

"To get you," I answered.
"What do you want of me?" She

bravely.

"We ore prepared either for a picnic

Sally.
"Surely there couldn't be a better
place than here under the big pine

said she.
Nor could there be a better day or

not sure that she would ngree.

she merrily proclaimed :
"It's to bo a wedding.'!

EUROPEANS SLOW TO
GET MEANING OF "PEP"
American Labor Discourages
Poetical Agitation As
Class Measure. .
By J. W. T. . Mason
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Jan. 22. American la
bor influences are at work attempting
to discourage political agitation as a
class measure by European labor lead
ers and to impress upon Europe's work
ingmen that the way to earn more
money is to produce more goods.
This is a startling doctrine for Eu
rope, where leisure is highly prized
and speed in production is strictly lim
ited by trades unions "Pep" is a
new word to Europeans, which Amer
ica is now trying to introduce to them.
Europe's agitators have long been
running to the national legislatures for
increases in the standard of living. The
European labor leaders who want- the
state to act for them in attaining
greater economic comfort are planning
to hold a congress in Switzerland under
socialistic auspices- The Americans
have declined to attend this conven
tion. The Swiss meeting, therefore, can
not have a wide international influence
and will not exert much pressure on tho
deliberations of the peace congress.
Samuel Gompers wants 'to hold a
rival international labor convention in
Paris.
