By return mail I received this answer: Gray Gables, Buzzards Bay, Mass., July 15, 1892. MY DEAR MR. WATTERSON: I have received your letter and the clippings you inclosed. I am not sure that I understand perfectly all that they mean. One thing they demonstrate beyond any doubt, to-wit: that you have not I think I may say the slightest conception of my disposition.
Also in April, 1892, Henry Watterson wrote of the Negro in the Chautauquan, recalling the facts that the era of political turmoil had been succeeded by one of reaction and violence, and that by one of exhaustion and peace; but with all his insight he ventured no constructive suggestion, thinking it best for everybody "simply to be quiet for a time."
After all the trouble they had taken so far to return the girl to her mother it would never do for her to betray her. So she sat silent under Mrs. Watterson's fire of cross questioning as to where she had been since running away, which Mrs. Watterson took for conclusive proof that she was Margery. "Did you say my my uncle was in Chicago?" Sahwah asked at last. Mrs. Watterson replied affirmatively.
Wilson's refusal to bow the knee to certain eastern financial interests that were understood to be behind Harper's Weekly. The tide quickly turned against Colonel Harvey and Marse Henry Watterson.
That such a mistake should have been made in respect to the bearer of a letter of introduction from my old friend General Watterson we fought together in Wellington's day that such a mistake should have occurred overwhelms me with shame. He pressed Conyngham's hand in both of his, which were small and white looked up into his face, stepped back and broke into a soft laugh.
The movement was especially prompted by a group of leading independent journals conducted by very able men, the New York Evening Post, under William Cullen Bryant; the Nation, edited by E. L. Godkin; the Cincinnati Commercial of Murat Halstead; the Louisville Courier-Journal of Henry Watterson; the Springfield Republican of Samuel Bowles.
The actual heads of papers have often been men of high standing, as Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, E. L. Godkin, Henry Watterson, the late Charles A. Dana, James Gordon Bennett, and William Cullen Bryant. But in the modern newspaper the man in control is a managing editor, whose tenure of office depends upon his keeping ahead of all others.
That name was Margery Anderson. Sahwah had gotten something into her eye the day before, and not having a handkerchief handy Sahwah never has when she wants one Margery had handed her one of hers. At the sight of that name Mrs. Watterson was in a flutter of excitement. The story in the newspaper was fresh in her mind. "It's that Anderson girl!" she exclaimed, holding up the handkerchief.
I hope all others upon whom rests the least responsibility will fully appreciate it. The world will move on when both of us are dead. While we stay, and especially while we are in any way concerned in political affairs and while we are members of the same political brotherhood, let us both resolve to be just and modest and amiable. Yours very sincerely, Hon. Henry Watterson, Louisville, Ky.
Watterson hung about whenever Captain Jenness drew near him, as if in the hope of overhearing some acceptable expression in which he could second his superior officer. Failing this, and being driven to despair, "Find the water pretty cold, sir?" he asked at last; and after that seemed to feel that he had discharged his duty as well as might be under the extraordinary circumstances.
