I called on Secretary Seward in the afternoon. At that interview heoflered me the post of consul to Liverpool, then held by Thomas H.

Later on in Tennessee, he asked Governor Bauof New Jersey if the State Senator Sew Jersey "still lived,” and Randolph farther aaid that he spoke bitterly of the treatment of the democratic party to him in New York; when he had sacrificed his name, and fame for them, they gave him sixty-five votes for president, and then nominated Seymour

Nemesis seemed to follow the man from Tennessee. His private Secretary amassed considerable flotsam and un, certainly enough to elect his own brother United States Senator from Tennessee over Johnson, but the President did get into the United States Senate later on, only to die of a stroke of paralysis soon after his election.
