There were long-haired and spectacled doctrinaires from New England, spliced by short-haired and stumpy emissaries from New York mostly friends of Horace Greeley, as it turned out. There were brisk Westerners from Chicago and St. Louis. If Whitelaw Reid, who had come as Greeley's personal representative, had his retinue, so had Horace White and Carl Schurz.
Brown, in his speech in the senate of Canada denied this; said that not a shilling had been spent illegitimately, and that the whole cost of the negotiation to the people of Canada would be little more than four thousand dollars. In his correspondence Brown speaks of meeting Senator Conkling, General Garfield and Carl Schurz, all of whom were favourable.
To General Schurz, who wrote asking permission to take an active part in the presidential campaign, he replied: "Allow me to suggest that if you wish to remain in the military service, it is very dangerous for you to get temporarily out of it; because, with a major-general once out, it is next to impossible for even the President to get him in again.... Of course I would be very glad to have your service for the country in the approaching political canvass; but I fear we cannot properly have it without separating you from the military."

Over practically none of it did we assume sovereignty by the consent of the inhabitants. General Carl Schurz, at the Philadelphia Anti-Imperialist Convention, February 22, 1900. Quite possibly these controversies may embarrass the Government and threaten the security of the party in power. New and perplexing responsibilities often do that.
Carl Schurz, too, is hardly the sort of man to be named "apron," though it is certainly true that his name is in this country sometimes pronounced "Shirts." Other branches of the great Teutonic family have many representatives among us, and their names seem, to the uninitiated, even more fearfully and wonderfully constructed than those of their German cousins.
'Well, to tell you the truth, Herr Schurz, answered Ernest, in his deliberate, quiet way, 'I don't think I've envisaged the subject to myself from quite the same point of view as Oswald has done. I have rather asked myself whether it was right of a man to accept a function in which he would really be doing nothing worthy for humanity in return for his daily board and lodging.

I returned from Covington yesterday, September 8. GEO. D. ROBINSON, Colonel 97th United States Infantry. No. 29. Savannah, July 31, 1865. Question by Mr. Schurz.
