Abstract:
Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, January 15, 1930. Later in November Hawley was back in Hartford and trying to get into harness again on the Press. After-war politics was lively and interesting, and Hawley naturally got into things. Governor Buckingham, who had served throughout the war wanted to retire. Hawley's paper, the Press, spoke favorably of Lieutenant Governor Averill of Danbury, a former democrat who had supported the war and who had run with Buckingham on the Union Republican ticket. Factionism was rampant in Washington. President Johnson was having much trouble. A radical section of republicans opposed his conservatism toward the south. Senator Dixon of Connecticut was on good terms with the president and there was a report, which the Hartford Courant scouted, that he was to succeed Gideon Welles as secretary of the navy. The rest of the report was that Welles was to have a foreign appointment.
