His life and death will neither of them be forgotten as long as the great republic lives and even longer if that may be. So far as I know and believe no wiser, better or greater man ever lived on this earth since He who taught on the shores of deep Gallilee. I am thankful to have lived when he did and shall cherish as long as I live the thought that I saw and knew the great Emanci- pator who was a martyr to the cause of Liberty and Freedom for all.
REUBEN E. FENTON .*
The ex-governor and ex-senator is dead. He whose courteous manner and kind words I have learned to love is dead and I shall not look upon his like again. I first made his acquaintance in 1852, when he was a candidate for Congress. He was a Democrat as I was and the District was strongly Whig, but he, by his energetic canvas, by his personal appeals, and his pleasant address, succeeded in reversing the large Whig majority and was elected by a small majority to the 33rd Congress. When I first met him we were both on our way to attend a Democratic meeting at Olean which was to be addressed by the Hon. Horatio Seymour, then a candidate for Governor, who spoke to a mass meeting. I was then introduced by Mr. Fenton to Governor Seymour and my acquaintance thus commenced with these two men was continued until their death. At the time when they met one was a candidate for Governor and the other for Congress on the same ticket and both were successful. I *Written soon after the death of Gov. Fenton in August, 1895.

suppose that they may have met often after that but the next time that I saw them together was when Governor Seymour was handing over the office of Governor to Governor Fenton who succeeded him on January 1, 1865. At that time they were the candidates of their respective parties and it was at the close of a most exciting political campaign and canvass that Governor Fenton was elected. At the time of his inauguration I was a state senator and was honored with a seat in the capitol near where they stood and when I remem- bered our first meeting at Olean I found myself asking, "When shall we three meet again?"
From the time when I first met Governor Fenton till the time of his death
HON. REUBEN E. FENTON.
we carried on a large correspondence. He honored me quite largely with his confidence and often told me his opinions of the public men both in and out of his district and often asked me to go on some mission for him. He enjoyed doing kind acts for me and much of the political preferment which I have had I owe to him and am greatly his debtor for the favors which I have received from him. While he was Governor he tendered me public places that I could not, and did not always accept, but I value the spirit in which they were offered. I sometimes asked him for favors which, for some reason, he could not grant and if at times I was inclined to feel aggrieved because they
294
were not granted, he would frankly tell me why he could not do what I asked of him and would vindicate his own conduct to my entire satisfaction.
In 1868 General Grant was a candidate for President for the first time and Governor Fenton was a candidate for Vice-President under him. I was in the convention which nominated Grant. For five ballots Fenton stood next to the highest among the candidates. But although the great state of New York gave her best efforts for his nomination, Schuyler Colfax became the successful candidate. Governor Fenton came to the office of Governor during the war of the rebellion at a time when large demands for troops with which to give the finishing blows to the war were made upon the state and he came to the position well equipped for the work before him. As a member of Congress he did as much for his constituents in the army or out of it and for soldiers who lived outside of his immediate district as any man in the state. I often saw him in Washington, worn out with his day's work and then visiting the hospitals to look after the sick and wounded and giving money to the men without means that they might go to their homes and securing them furloughs; sending the dead to their homes that they might be buried by their kindred, and often paying the expenses out of his own means. No soldier ever appealed to him in vain and I believe that he gave away a small fortune to the sick and suffering. I never knew what it was to be charitable till then as I witnessed what he done.
In 1869 he was elected United States Senator over Governor Morgan. This campaign was a battle of giants. Thurlow Weed, up to that time, had always been recognized as the political leader and adviser of the Republican party, and had determined that Governor Morgan should succeed himself to that position. This effort of Weed to retain his political supremacy in the state was the last great political contest of his life. Governor Fenton was successful in the contest and I have reason to believe that Mr. Weed always regretted that he did not make a more earnest opposition to the nomination of Mr. Fenton as Governor at his first nomination. As a political organizer Weed had few equals and no superiors but found his equal if not his superior in this contest where he least expected to find him. I had then and still have a great respect for the name and memory of Thurlow Weed but in that contest I was a private soldier, enlisted under Governor Fenton for the war and I fought under him till he was a victor. The inside and outside incidents of that contest would make a book of itself. In personal magnetism I never knew Governor Fenton's superior. Men did as he wished them to do and forgot, for the time their own purposes. I recall one incident of an intelligent and an excellent man, who once told me that in order to retain his own opinions in the matters wherein he disagreed with Governor Fenton, he was obliged to refrain from his visiting the governor as he was sure to believe with the governor while he was there and lost his own conviction until he was by himself again. There was much truth in what the man said. Fenton was never depressed by defeat nor exalted by victory. He was calm and unmoved when others were deeply affected by passing events. He was always master of himself. He could not be crushed by defeat. But a few days before his death, I spent most of one afternoon with him in connection with some legal
295
business in which he had retained me as his counsel and when we had completed that business we spent about an hour in talking of events of the past in which we had both participated. It was in the room where we then sat where he was stricken and died. A telegram reached me in an eastern city telling me of his death and asking me to act as one of the pall bearers at his funeral. I obeyed that call as though it had come from him and followed his remains to the grave I have lost many friends but never, outside of the death of some of my own family, has the death of any one affected me so much as did that of the Hon. Reuben E. Fenton.
