knew Ingersoll well nnd nprc clated his extraordinary ap Jf1 estlgntlon He preyed him search and ln for further explanation of the matter 1 two men found a lounging place and the great orator began his story You know as well js do doctor he said that during the GarnoldHancock campaign Gulteau was one of tho most favored National headquarters He vored meu at seemed to have more pull and drag around the old Fifth Avenue hotel than even senators His Impudence was tors or congressmen superb His ability to Impress those whom he met casually lth the Idea that the success of the camnalgn depended upou blm was extraordinary Wheu he first made his appearance at National headquarters If some one had sympathetically but flrmlv taken blm by the shoulders and kicked him Into tii street the tragedy of July would probably never have taken place But you know how things are In headquarters In the heat of tho fight everybody counts for something until the votes are In The sitting of Individuals does not coino until after the balloting In consequence of this Gulteau without any merit without any particular knowledge of the situation without the control of a single vote In the country but his own became an object of Importance at headquarters He could work his way Into any private room he conld buttonhole any prominent man he could secure a hearing where either of us might have had to cuol our heels for a day The result was the man never balanced of mind gained a false Impression of his own Importance which was to prove his own undoing and the working of a frightful wion upon the people He began to talk loudlv of what he proposed to do If the republicans won the day He spoke mysteriously of certain conneotlons which he hoped to have with the state department If a republican secretary controlled It He said franklv that nothing but a profitable consulship would satisfy him and declared that pomliio had been made him that he should be so token care of 4 I do not doubt that such promises were made to him by thonahtless persons even by persons tvho if they had been speaking seriously could have secured for Gulteau what dp desired Some public men to got rid of bore regard It as Justifiable policy to promise them inythlng Bin this policy had more to do with Garfields death than anything else Gulteau took every promise made him seriously He was convinced that he was to bo with either the dlplo maitlc service In London or Paris and that he would he one of the most Important representatives of the state department abroad He told this to a number of persons in New York city after the election and th smiled and did not disillusionize him They even thought It was a capital Joke and I have no loubt some of them for the fun of the thing encouraged him lu the Idea Gulteau did not know Garfield and nerer expressed particular hostility toward blm until after the latter was shot down He nover In mv opinion gaip Garfield a thought until he saw that he bad shot him Instead of BHIne Then having missed Jils original object and with cunning common to mental perverts of his type be Immediately sought to justify Gnifields assassination and to make It appear that he Gulteau wat a savior After the Inauguration ot Garfield and Arthur Gulteau came to Washington and commenced nla campaign for a consulship or ministership to Iurope He paid no attention to the president Tie devoted all ms time to the staU department He was In the state offices every day for weeks Ills applications were made for diplomatic positions In France and England The elejus who first
