Barratt left him at the hotel and then went to find Stanton. To him he recounted what the new federal appointee had said. Stanton listened and then said: "This is seri ous, Barrett, I must think it over." He took the first conveyance for Port Douglas and told Gen eral McCook. "You are sure he said it, Stan ton?" said McCook. Then he made a brief oration, made up in great part of compound adjec tives. Finally he said: "Next Thursday is Jackson day. It is only fair to pay our respects to this new federal officer. I will give a reception on that day and invite the gentleman to attend. I will invite a few others to make everything agree able. Sit down and help me make out the list. The reception was set for 10 a. m. and a good many carriage loads of gentlemen were there on the hour. General McCook and all his officers, in full uniform, received them and made them welcome. The general had brewed one of his famous punches. Those McCook punches beside being wonderful to the palate were loaded down wtih character. They looked innocent as lambs and harmless as doves on the surface, but in their depths lay coiled serpents as potential as cobras. Of course the first thing was to drink the health of the president; then to the memory of the hero of New Orleans; then to the army of the United States; then to the flag; then to the governor of the territory. Evidently the new surveyor general had never found any such beverage before and this was not only wonderful, but free. Within fifteen minutes ho volunteered to make a speech. It was cheered vocife.. sly and he made another. Then his health was proposed and drunk with irrepressible enthusiasm and then ho made a third speech which broke down party linos and Democrats and Republicans were all brothers. In forty-five minutes after his arrival he was asleep under the table and the expression on Stanton's face was something delicious to see. Mr. Barratt acknowledged his obligation to him. When the kaiser's brother, in his journey around the world reached Salt Lake he stopped off for a day's rest. His attendants were a count and a baron. I think that Stanton had received a request from Washington to make their visit as ploasant as possible. As a representative of the army he met them and did what he could for them. The prince had a cold and Stanton had Dr. Allen or Dr. Hamilton visit him and advise him not to go out in the night air. Thereupon, when the prince was disposed of, Stanton took the count and baron to the Alta club. The gentlemen of the club did what they could to make the night pleasant for the distin guished guests. About 2 a. m. the major escorted " them back to the hotel. It was cold and sloppy weather, I think in February. It had stormed during the evening, a half rain half snow down pour, and the sidewalk was slippery and far from dry. Reaching the hotel the major said the count insisted on sitting down on the side walk and as he did so he remarked: .'I haf been der vurld around und like Salt Lake I finds nut tings." With a proper expression of sorrow the major told me of it the next day, and admitted that it was bad, but added that it was impossible to do the great German empire and emperor too much honor when their representatives came to this country. The above gives a faint idea of the joyous side of General Stanton's character. The;y was a boyish side to him which never grew old, but his innor nature was that of a hero and states man.
