To the same class belong certain powerful individuals, who, though in private life, exercised great influence at Washing- ton : of these the most conspicuous were Horace Greeley and Thur- low Weed. The latter was the Mr. Hyde to Seward's Dr. Jekyl. Their close connection is illustrated by the following story related by Gideon Welles. Weed secured from Seward an order appoint- ing one of his henchmen as consul at Falmouth, England. Wil- liam Hunter, the veteran chief clerk of the State Departmen...t, pro- tested to Weed, as the appointment involved the removal of an able official, whose father had received the post from Washington as a reward for some public service. Without further consultation Weed kindly destroyed the note Seward had given him, and thus reinstated the old consul. " Lincoln has best set out the political difficulties in New York state in a letter to Chase : " Ought Mr. Young to be removed ? Ought Mr. Adams to be appointed ? . . . Mr. Adams is magnificentl}- recommended, but the great point in his favor is that Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley join in recom- mending him.
