Decency and Duty.
A most unfortunate transaction oc-
cured at the recent Republican caucus
at South Norwalk. seriously fainting
the integrity of the vote for candidate
for representative. Persons in differ-
ent parts of the hall, became suspicions
that fair dealing was being overstepped.
This led to the preservation of all the
ballots cast, after the nomination of Mr.
E. E. Crowe was announced. Colonel
Frost, his close competitor, instantly
and gracefully moved that Mr. Crowe’s
nomination be made unanimous and
this was done. A subsequent count of
the suspected ballots, showed beyond a
. reasonable doubt, that either a fatal
error ’or most outrageous fraud had
occured. , .
Mr. Crowe himself, could not resist
the same inevitable conclusion and very
much to his credit, he declined the
tainted nomination. This was manly,
and the only honorable course left open
to him under the circumstances. But
in the view of all honest men generally
he should go further and insist that
001. Frost, who honestly received the
nomination should accept the honor
fairly conferred upon him. No other
course is now left open to Mr. Crowe»
. , if he would save his good name from
lasting dishonor and the most damag-
ing disgrace.
Col. Frost—high toned gentleman
that he is—comes out in a card to-day,
declining to be a candidate, and why ?
Clearly because he thinks there is no
honest desire on the part of Mr. Crowe
to do him the simplest justice.
Crowe is a young man, but a very much
younger and immature person than he
should‘be, if he fails to see that the suc-
cess of his own interests and ambitions
lie in his personally insisting that Col.
Frost accept the honor conferred upon
him and out of which he was thwarted.
in the interests of Mr. Crowe.
In no other way can Mr. Crowe so
satisfactorily prove that the mistake—
to call it by no harsher'name—did not
occur either with his connivance or
sanction. Honesty is always the best
policy, as it is the best morals. Our
South N orwalk friends, and especially
Mr. Crowe and his friends, should insist
that 001. Frost, the candidate who was
in fact, fairly and honestly, nominated
by that caucus. be made to stand.

CHAPTER XXVII.
The great heart of Abraham Lincoln,
was crushed by the domestic bereaveJ
ment in the sudden and unexpected
death of his little pet buy, added to his
ever present burden of woe over the
sorrows of his country. From the day
of the first Bull Run battle, a constant
stream of weeping mothers, sot-rowing
fathers, brothers and relatives, besieged
the White House for passes and trans.
portation to the front to succor some
stricken soldier languishing in hOSpital
with wounds or sickness, or to recover
and get back to his home the body of
some brave boy who had yielded up his
life upon the sacred altar of Liberty
and Country. Few knew the terrible
strain these almost hourly experiences
wrought upon the tender, sympathetic
nature of our President. Many and
many a pass or order for assistance or
transportation,given some heart-broken
mother whose boy was desperately
wounded or ill at the front, was wet
with tear drops wrung from the tender
heart of the noble man. In all such
matters he would sometimes say of him-
self that he “was weak as any woman.”
Providence seemed to have given him
in his stern war secretary, just the
strength and support he needed. Mr.
Stanton was a resolute, courageous and
even stern, stickler for duty. He had
a tender side to his nature also, and
was not the cold and heartless man
many felt him to be to whom he had
denied sought for favors, because of his
higher sense of right. No man I ever
knew, could so successfully conceal all
the real and genuine kindness he felt
for the afflicted, when his higher per-
ceptions of duty, led him to refuse and
offend. But he was always consistent.
He was equally stern to high and low,
I chanced
to be present in his inner office one
morning when Senator Howe called to
get him to order the return to Milwau-
kee of a Swede soldier, then at the frOnt
out in Virginia. “Can’t do it,” bluntly
retorted Mr. Stanton. Senator Howe
expostulated and repeated that he
wanted the young soldier only long
enough to go to Wisconsin and execute
some papers by which he was to secure
a legacy of $200,000 to which he had
become the heir, and added that if the
Secretary was afraid the soldier would
not return to duty he could send him
out and return him under guard.
“I‘hat only makes it worse,” quickly
replied Stanton. “I tell you, we are
on the eve of a great battle and the
country needs every soldier it has got,
every one, and noboby is going to be
furloughed from the army until the im-
pending fight is over.” “Yes,” re-
sponds-l ‘.~owe, "and that makes me all
the more earnest in my appeal for his
release. This soldier has a wife and
young children in my state and should
he be killed before executing the papers
his family will lose this fortune held in
Sweden.” “Can’t help it, can’t help it,
Howe ; no soldier is going to be let 011’
now, because of any such good luck.
If you want the boy after the fight is
over, you can have him—not now——
good morning, Howe,” and away he
turned from the United States Senator
to attend to a favor awaited by the
writer. I had been exceedingly f‘ortu.
hate in my first presentation to him.
Grand old Truman Smith of our state,I
wasa very close and trusted friend of
the war secretary; indeed, Mr. Smith
had been quite potential in inducing
President Lincoln to replace Mr. Cam-
eron with Stanton, and the latter knew
it and gave grateful recognition of the
fact on every favorable occasion. Mr.
Smith had been my introducer and
sponsor to the stern secretary and .no
favor I ever asked did he decline to
grant. It is due to truth to add that I
had the perception to carry requests at
all dubious as to proprieties and rules
governing army matters, to the Presi-
dent,and only such as I knew to be en-
tirely clear of objection to Mr. Stanton.
One day I was hurriedly sent for by
Secretary Welles. On reaching his
office in the Navy Department, he said
that Mrs. Joseph R. Hawley had just
reached his house from Hartford, hav-
ingheard that her I husband, General
Hawley was seriously ill in North Caro-
lina. “The poor woman is half crazy
to get to‘ him," said Mr. Welles, “and
I sent Faxon around to Stanton to get
an order for transportation for her,
down there, and he has refused to let
her go. Now, I know it is useless for
me to bother him any more about it,
but I believe you can coax it out of
him.” I promised to try it. I knew Mr.
Stanton to be a man of few words and
quick decision. His every moment of
time was engaged, oftimes keeping him
at his desk throughout the entire day and
night. He desired to be courteous to
all_comers, but was always forced to be
brief _and even curt at times. On one
occasion he kept me a prisoner in his
office from 2 o’clock to 10 p. m., to ex-
plain a matter he wished me to adjust.
At the latter hour, his coachman ap-
preared for the fourth or fifth time, to
carry im home to dinner. Suddenly
seizing his hat, and me by the arm, he
fled from a crowd still waiting an inter-
view, hurried me out into his cab, and
on the short ride up to his residence on '
K street, -stated_all he had to say to me,
and on my declining to stop and '
with him, he ordered the driver to de-
liver mc at the Tribune Bureau on
Fifteenth street, near Pennsylvania
avenue. ~ *.

were no railroads or steamers running,
in our control. To my joy Ilearned
that a large schooner was to sail from
Washington that very evening for Hil-
ton Head, with army stores. We had
no telephones or horse cars, then, 301
took a cab for the Seventh street wharf
where I found the Captain to be a New
England skipper and a genial gentle-
man. I told him I wished to get Mrs.
General Hawley passage on his boat.
He cordially expressed his willingness
to do so and said if the government
would allow him to take her she should
have the captain’s state room and the
best his craft could afford. He was to
sail about 8 o’clock, he said, and I as.
sured him I would see he had the proper
authority to take the passenger. I then
rode rapidly back to the war office,
got an audience with the Secretary,
having marked “urgent” on my card,
and at once opened the case. “I know
“it is hard,” he interrupted, “but we
have no way Mrs. Hawley or any other
lady, can be sent down to Carolina, and
I’ve already refused Secretary Welles’
request,” said he. “Excuse me, Mr.
Secretary,” said I, “but a large schoon-
er lies at the Seventh street dock which
is to sail for Hilton Head to-night, and
the Captain will gladly take her if you
will consent.” “Is that so ? well then
she shall go,” and he at once ordered a
pass and transportation to be made out
and given to me, and in less than an
hour, I reported to Mr. Welles my suc-
cess. That evening Mrs. Welles and
Mr. Faxon, assistant secretary of the
Navy, escorted Mrs. Hawley down to
the schooner, and she sailed down the
Potomac on her errand of mercy and
wifely devotion and in the course of
two or three days was at her Sick hus-
band’s bedside. _
Secretary Stanton was also of iron
constitution, inflexible will, nerves of
steel and more power of physical en-
durance than anylman I ever knew.
Sleep and rest seemed no part of the
necessities of his nature. He would
continue his intense application to the
routine duties of his office and receive,
hear and disperse hundreds of callers,
for several days and nights consecu.
tively, having his food brought to his
desk and seeking no rest other than an
occasional drop upon his office lounge
while dictating dispatches to some clerk
or orders to some officer, or_ holding
consultations with the President or-
General of the army. .
He was the needed counterpart and.
supplement" to the tenderer impulses
and less sternly resolute nature of
President Lincoln. He was one of the
most important and grandest figures of
our civil war era. He was especially
friendly to the Tribune, and to this for-
tunate circumstance, as well as to his
confidence in my own integrity and
discretion, I was promptly granted
numberless personal interViews, passes
and free transportation at all times, to
the front, and what was of more essen-
tial service to a war correspondent, his
authority to use all military telegraph
lines whenever I desired, if not_ inter-
fering with the transmissmn of impor-
tant military dispatches. This was a
confidential favor, so far as I was ever
able to discover, not accorded any other
newspaper man in the army.
In January of the new year, Colonel
James A. Garfield, then a young and
spirited commander of the Forty-sec-
ond Ohio and the Fourteenth Ken-
tucky, with a few Virginia cavalry was
sent after the rebel Gen. Humphrey
Marshall who with an .army of 2,500
men was sweeping and pillaging Union-
ists along the borders of Virginia and
Kentucky. Marshall well knew the in-
tense loyalty and resistless energicof
the young Ohioan and so fortified 1m-
self near Prestonbury to await Gar-
field’s attack, who was coming up in
hot haste. On the tenth of January,
the fight opened and Garfield’s force of

best for me to announce in the press
that I shall not again be a candidate
for representative. .
For something I have neither said,

for, it appears that party policy re-
quires my withdrawal. It does not
seem logical. But I' readily yield my
judgment to that of party friends, the
sincerity of whose advice is demon-
strated by their loyal and disinterested
support. I am a cheerful, contented
and good-natured sacrifice to party
policy.
The caucus‘will not have the two for-
mer contesting candidates before _1t,
one of whom certainly was the chorce
of the first caucus, the largest and
most representative body of Republi-
cans ever gathered in caucus in this dis-
trict. That does not seem logical.
In fairness to the candidates, in view
of recent disclosures, the issue should
be settled beyond a possible question of
error or of fraud.
But party harmony steps in, and the
other contesting candidate has an-
nounced his withdrawal, giving party
policyns his reason.

issue or the outcome. The size and

higher honor than the ofiicc could bring
me. I cannot express the depth of my
gratitude to the men who so honored
