pparent. I visited him in February, and found that the concern was already crippled by lack of means. The situation was both unexpected and embarrassing. As Dana had been compelled to borrow money while in government employment to pay the difference between his meagre salary and his actual expenses, he counted upon the ample salary which lad been promised him to pay his debts, put his family in easy circumstances, and begin the accumulation for a rainy day, but this was not to be. On April 30, 1866, he wrote to me: I have been worked to death since you were here, and much disturbed by difficulties in the Republican. These difficulties are serious, and how they will end I don't know. I shall get out of the concern if I can, unless it is put on a different basis, and means are raised by the capitalists who have invested in it to carry it through in a satisfactory manner. The publisher is a bad man, and not as judicious as he is smart. That is the essence of the trouble. I

e. You never lack the nerve to say what you think right in the face of present apparent unpopularity. If I have differed from you, it has not been without pain. Roscoe Conkling of New York entered the Senate March 4, 1867. He had on well known occasions turned the House into a bear-garden, finally provoking Mr. Blaine to speak of his cheap swagger, his haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, super-eminent, overpowering turkey-gobbler strut. Debate, April 24, 25, and 30, 1866. Congressional Globe, pp. 2152. 2180, 2299. Mr. Blaine in his speech refers to want of courage shown by Conkling in the Thirty-seventh Congress. It is not known to what occasion the reference is made; but it may have been to a scene in the lobby of the house and at his seat, when Conkling received, without reply, from E. B. Washburne a severe imputation on his honor. Conkling's expeditious retreat from Narragansett Pier is of a later date than that of this chapter. His subsequent quarrel
