As to the feeling of the people in that section of the country, the majority at this day are as bitter enemies of the United States government as they were during the war. General, I have the honor to remain your obedient servant, W. KRZYZANOWSKI, Late Brevet Brigadier General, U.S.V. Major General C. SCHURZ. No. 20.
'Oh, yes, Herr Schurz, Edie put in persuasively with her sweet little pleading manner; 'do stay a little longer. I don't know when dear Ernest has enjoyed anything in the world so much as he has enjoyed seeing you.
They expected no favors from the presiding officer, Carl Schurz, the foreign born, always a bitter opponent of woman suffrage, but they had hoped for assistance from B. Gratz Brown, George W. Julian, Theodore Tilton and other leading spirits of the meeting, who had been open and avowed friends; but it was the old, old story political exigency required that women must be sacrificed, and this so-called Liberal convention was no more liberal on this subject than all which had preceded it.
Nicholls took the governorship in New Orleans and Hampton in Columbia. But it was not by this act alone that the new President inaugurated a new régime. He called to his Cabinet as postmaster-general, David M. Key, of Tennessee, who had fought for the Confederacy. Schurz, liberal and reformer of the first rank, was given the department of the interior.
The American Free Trade League was formed and included such influential figures as Carl Schurz, Jacob D. Cox, Horace White, Edward Atkinson, E.L. Godkin, editor of The Nation, and many others. William B. Allison and James A. Garfield, both prominent Republican members of the House, were in favor of downward revision.
If there was one man in our public life since 1865 who showed a genius for the parliamentary career, and who in six short years in the United States Senate a single term displayed there constructive legislating qualities of the highest order, it was Carl Schurz.
Carl Schurz, himself a man of large nature and wide and sympathetic comprehension, says of Lincoln: In the most conspicuous position of the period, Lincoln drew upon himself the scoffs of polite society; but even then he filled the souls of mankind with utterances of wonderful beauty and grandeur.
The same unsteadiness has entered as a striking feature in the public career of Mr. Schurz. The party he upheld yesterday met with his bitterest denunciations the day before, and to-morrow he will support the political organization of whose measures he is the most merciless censor to-day.
I was a furious partisan in those days and disliked the Secessionists intensely. Of them, Lamar was most aggressive. I later learned that he was very many-sided and accomplished, the most interesting and lovable of men. He and Schurz "froze together," as, brought together by Schurz, he and I "froze together."
Schurz has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment, and we want a leader about him for to-morrow. The telegram roused Ernest at once from his stupefied lethargy. Here was a chance at last of doing something for Max Schurz and for the cause of freedom!
