Gen- oral Grosvenor was ono of the leading Ohio men at the convention. He was intimately assoclated with both Garfield and Foster, and in the councils of both. He was strongly in favor of Sherman’s nomination. When I asked him whether he thought Garfield played falso with Sherman, ho replied emphatically: “I know he did not, either in_intention or in aetion. He worked for Sherman from the day he got there to the morning when the convention nominated him by storm. 1 had ‘A TALK WITH GARFIRLD on the evening after ho made his famous speechnominating Sherman. Garfieldand I were well acquainted, and he always talked very frocly with me. We were sitting on the steps in one of the back lower rooms of the Grand Pacific hotel, and were talking ‘‘about the day's work, when Garfield said, ‘‘Well, Grosvenor, you heard the n{:{zllum to-dsy, how much and how much of it was _anti-third term?” “There was a greal deal more anti-third term than Garfield,” was my reply, ‘*But still there was a great deal of it Garfield, and I be- lievo thero is thatin the air which may make Garfield the nomineeof the conven- tion.” *‘It must not be,” said Garfield. f 1 should be nominated, coming as I have here to manage Sherman’s cam- paign, I would be ruined forover. If there is anything I have striven to do in my life it is to be faithful to my friends and to the work have undertaken.” “But the spirit is abroad in the air, and it may be you will not be able to help yourself,” was my reply. “I will help,” said he. I will get up in the convention at its nr‘oning to-mor- row, and I will make such a speech as will put an end to any such feeling.” “‘Yes, you can do that,” said I, “but you may may make one of the mistakes §on have an ambi- ou once told me 80 when we were campaigning together in Ohio.” 5 “But not in this way,” interrupted Garfield. *‘I will confess I have thought I would like such a nomination, but I want it some time in the future in the regular way.” “‘The regular;way !” said 1. *‘Garfield, candidates in the regular way are seldom nominated. Look at the regular candi: dates here. There is Grant with his bu: reau, Blaine with his, and Sherman with his. These candidates are here to be nominated in the regular way, and as it looks to me none of them will be nomi- nated. If you wait for the regular way itwill never come. The rustleofthe wings of that bird which bears the presidential nomination are seldom h twice by the same man. You may make your speech in the morning killing all the sen- timent in your favor, but supppse for all hat, Shermah should fail to be nomi- nated. Youmay kill yourself and not help him."” *‘But what shall I do? I am determined to be true to Sherman.” “‘And 8o you should be,” said I. “You should do everything in your power to secure his nomination but if it is finally seen that he can not be nominated, and there is a fair prospect that you can, you should let Ohio vote for you. Notat first, but after a suflicient number of other states have voted that way. The fight here is anything to beat Grant, and it may be that you are the only man that can do that.” ““This closed the talk, Garfield urging me, as he went away, to work for Sher- man, He did work for Sherman during all those days preceding his nomination, and on Tuesday morning, the day ho was nominated, I was present with him and Foster in his little room in the Grand Pacific hotel, and I heard them there ar- range with Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin, an attempt to organize A STAMPEDE TOWARD SHERMAN for that day which it was hoped would accomplish Sherman’s nomination. Wis- consin was to change her vote to Sher- man, and then others were te change, and it was hoped a current would be raised 80 strong as to cause the Blaine forces to rush to Sherman and to cause his nomination with a hurrah, The at- tempt was tried - that morning and it failed. 1 came into the convention smi g for I was confident s nomination would be made and that it would not be Grant. A day or two before I had tele- graphed to the larger townsin south- eastern Ohio that Garfield would be the nominee, I felt 1t in the air. I sat that morning with Mrs. Senator Logan, Mra Don Cameron, and several other stal- wart ladies, all of whom were confident that Grant would be nominated. Mrs, Logan said tomeas I took my seat. *‘You seem very happy, general, but you are going to be disappointed. 1 know you expect to make a stampede in favor of Sherman, but if you do, Grant will certainly be nominated. The breakin up of the Blaine forces will give hi enough votes to secure the nomination when such & movement occurs,” And Mrs. Logan was right. I know that many of Blaine's votes would have gone to Grant, and notably so in Maine and Now York, He had that solid 306, and it mflnir«i only & fow more votes to make him the nominee. The springing of Garfield alone prevented it."” *“Tell me something about THE INSIDE HISTORY OF HAYES' NOMINA- TION, general,” said 1. ou were one of the chief Ohio men at Cincinnati during that convention,” *‘I don't know that there is much of o history,” replied the general. § Hl{u went into the convention with a small but earnest support, who acted on the principle of being friendly to all and antagonizing none. This principle— | Hayes himself was its author—succeeded jin getting him the nomination, He | convention met, on this principle. I was peaker of the house at Columbus,at that | time, and I had frequent conversations | with him, When 1 left Columbus for | Cincinnati he said to me: ‘I think we chance of getting the nomina. We have held all our friends, aud we have antagonized those of no other candidate.” HOW LINCOLN WAS NOMINATED, The convention which made the nomi- the days of the revolution, At the time it assombled there was a great majority of the delegates in favor of the nomina- tion of William H. Seward, and the gen- eral opinion, the country over, was that he would be nominated. The anti-Sew- ard men were few and unorganized, and had the convention been made to ballot during the first or second day, there is little doubt that he would have been the nominee, He was by all odds the lead- ing man of his party. His high moral character, his great speeches, and his political services seemed to point to him a8 the only man for the place. It was emphatically Seward against the held, with all the chances in favor of Seward. But the field was by no means a nonen- tity. There were many good men in the pnrtg, who believed that Seward could not be elected if nominated, and_among these were Horace Greeley, David Dud- ley Field,and other men from New York; Aleck McClure, ex-Governgr Curtin, and others from Pennsylvania, and leading men scattered here and there throughout the various delegations, . These men suc- ceeded in overcoming the majority of Seward, and accomplishing the nomina- tion of Abraham Lincoln. Their success was due, it is conceded, as much to the influence of EX-00VERNOR OURTIN, OF PENNSYLNANIA, aa to that of any other, and it may be truly said that it was solely due to him that Lincoln was made president. Gov- ernor Curtin was then only 43 years old, Now he is 66, but his eye is bright, and his “‘Y almost as vigorous as it was then. When I asked him yesterday to tell the story of his part in the convention, he was at first modestly reluctant to talk about himeelf, but on my pressing him, he said: “There is not much of a sto to tell, and much of it is a matter of his- tory already. You know how the feeling waa over most of the country in favor of Seward. It was different in Pennsylvania, and I feared—in fact, I knew, if Seward ‘was nominated—we could not carry the state. The vote Lincoln got assured me that I was not wrong in my estimates before the convention. I was at this time the republican candidate for gov- ernor. I went to Chicago not as a dele- gate, but nevertheless with the in- tention of domg what I could to defeat Seward. It was not that I had any personal feeling in the matter, I had not. I didnotknow Mr. Seward. My only interest was in car- rying my state, and did not want to make my fight for governor with him on the prosidential ticket. On my way to Chi- cago I rode forty miles with my oppo- nent, the democratic gubernatorial can- didate, We were good friends, although of different political views. He was feeling very happy over tho outlook, and told me confidently that if Seward was nominated he would beat me. I asked him what he thought would be his pros- pects provided some other man got the nomination. He replied that 1t would be a closefightand hedid not know. AtChicago 1 met Governor Laue, of Indiana, which you will remember was also a doubtful state at that time, Governor Lane told me Indiana could not be carried with Seward, and together we mixed among the delegates telling them our opinion of the situation. The convention met Wed- nesday, and at this time there was cer- tainly a majority of the delegates in favor of Seward. It was so on Thursday, and I am confident that had a ballot been taken on that day he would have been nominated. But Chicago had offered the convention a boat rideand this with some delay about the delivering of the ballots put the votifE/A 4 until KFriday, . Fri night the anti-Seward men were very ac- tive. A party of us went about from delegation to delegation, presenting our views as to the effect of such a nomination upon the doubtful states of Indiana, Penn- sylvania, and New Jersoy, Pennsyl- vania was to throw its first vote for Simon Cameron and then go to Lincoln. The tirst ballot showed 173} votes for Seward and 102 for Lincoln; but on the second, when Pennsylvania announced her fifty two votes for Abraham Lincoln, there was a rapid changing of votes. New Jersey and Vermont came over, and the result was, Seward 184}, Lincoln 181, Two hundred and thirty-three votes were required to nominate, and at the close of the .third ballot, Lincoln had received 2313, Then four votes in the Ohio dele- gation changed and Lincoln was an- nounced as the candidate, amid the hur- rah and excitement which always attends the decision of a mnational convention. He proved a very acceptable candidate to Pennsylvania, and when the votes were counted I found we had gotten half of the votes of the Bell and Everett strength in Pennsylvania, a thing wo could have never done under Seward.” Care, Nothing Like It.

While rambling through the inventn department of Cooper union last Saiv - day. gratifying my ulosity by wendine in and out among ihe queer machines, 1 met Gen. Jobn C. Frewont, t 5 hero and idol of my boyhocd. I nadecen him many times duving the lat few years,but. I had never seen him look so sevions and 80 tired. The sad fact is that age begins to tell on him, for in an other month the gallant young man whom we repnblicans went wild over in '66, will. be 70 years old. His beard and hair are almost white and his grey eyes have a we: look. It was difficult to realizs that this venerable and dignified man, moving slowly about, was the same person who fought in the Mexican war and the war for the urion; who twice resigned his position in the United States army; who gad challenged Col. Mason and Senator Foote to fight duels, and put them both to flight; who had set the American flag on the highcst peak of the Rockies long belore settle- ment was thought of; who, with an ad- venturous Indian at his side, had plunged headforemost down tke the wild falls of the Colorado; who had been famine- stricken on the great desert in the midst of winter, and had adminisiercd to his men an oath to die rather thau resor! to cannibalisim; whose romantic life had been the rallying point of the iepublicans long before they knew either their pur- oses or their strength, Aud the lovely rown-haired Jessie Benton, whom he stole from “Old Bullion” and away with when she was fitteen, is now a lovely, whitehaived lady of sixty-five, who goes into »ociety spar- mgly, and is still the pet of her friends, As we stood among the qucor uechanical mysteries Gen. ¥remoni spole of the magnificent forethought of Peter Conper in providing such a place, wicre all | oor inventors could come nod show (heir wares almost without cos. and gei the opinion of an expert as to the patenta- bility and probable value of each device. I inquired of the general about the pro- ject which Thad seen mentioned to re- store his rank in the army and then put him on the retired list. ““Yes,” he said, “‘some of my friends have set it on foot. I don’t know exactly what is being done about it now.” “The democrats are in power now,” reminded him, ““That makes little difference I fancy,” he rejoined; ‘‘if there should seem to be justice in the application. I sup- pose democrats would be as ready to recognize and acknowledge it as republi- o) Remembering that he resigned his po- sition in the army, as McClellan did and as Hancock didn't, because he had been | nominated for thepresidency, and thought holding the military office inconsistent with the higher candidacy, I said that, a8 his resignation was in a sense an offer- ing to our form of government, I did not see why he should not be restored; and took my leave. I know more of Gen. Fremont's affairs than he is aware of; more, perhaps, than he would care to have me tell. There is no harm, how- ever, in my saying that he is poor; that he made iuure than §1,000,000 in the Mariposa speculation, and put the sum of bed of this magnificent fortune by a band of swindlers v:fio conspired to fleece him, I could name them; but no good wonld come of it now. Suflice it that Gen.
