umber of poems over his initials. They were of varied merit, some of them showing quite as much of the poetic fire as do current poetical contributions of our own day. A single quotation — the last of some verses On the Death of William Wirt-must suffice: Then take thy long repose Beneath the shelter of the deep green sod; Death but a brighter halo o'er thee throws- Thy fame, thy soul alike have spurned the clod- Rest thee in God. But Greeley never considered himself a poet, and when, in 1869, Robert Bonner proposed to print a volume of poems not to be found in Dana's Household Handbook of Poetry, Greeley sent him a letter saying: Be good enough-you must-to exclude me from your new poetic Pantheon. I have no business therein — no right and no desire to be installed there. I am no poet, never was (in expression), and never shall be. The reader of to-day, who had only a file of the New Yorker for his literary entertainment, would find it both interesting and instructive. The

When, in 1869, Greeley accepted the nomination for State Comptroller, after three candidates on the ticket had declined their nominations, Weed refused to support him, and wrote a letter in which he analyzed Greeley's course in later years, and declared that it was preposterous to suppose that the editor of a daily journal in New York could so divide his time as to discharge also the duties of Comptroller. The vote at the polls stood: Greeley, 307,688; Allen, 330,371. Greeley was a member of the State

y supported by Carl Schurz, Schurz, who was a vice-president of the National Republican Convention of 1868, moved an amendment to the platform, which was adopted, declaring in favor of the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions imposed upon the late rebels in the same measure as the spirit of disloyalty will die out, and as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people. who went to St. Louis in 1867 to edit a German newspaper, and was elected a United States Senator in 1869. The Missouri Legislature of 1870 voted to submit to the people six amendments to the Constitution, which gave the right of suffrage to every male citizen of the United States, and abolished the test oath, and the oath of loyalty required of jurors. The Democrats — a hopeless minority --held no State convention that year. The Republican convention, by a vote of 439 to 342, adopted, instead of the report of the majority of the committee on resolutions (presented by its chairman, Senator Sch
