Quay and Smith.

Charles Emory Smith, editor, diplomat and man of affairs, was a political enemy of the late Senalbr Quay. After Quay had successfully conducted the Harrison campaign he was consulted by President Harrison when the latter began to think of appointments for the diplomatic service. He wanted to give Smith a post, so ho had Secretary Blaine sound Quay for his opinion in the matter. “Senator, ’t said the secretary, “you know Charles Emory Smith?” “Yes,” was the reply, “very well.” “Would you eare if he received a foreign appointment?” “No,” was the quick answer; “the foreigner the better.” So Mr. Smith went to St. Petersburg.
