Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Later Speeches of Chauncey M. Depew He was appointed the attorney for the New York and Harlem Railroad; and in 1869, when this company was consolidated with the New York Central, and became the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Co., with Commodore Vanderbilt at its head, Mr. Depew was made the attorney of the new organization, and was afterward elected a member of its Board of Directors. As the influence of the Vanderbilts expanded, and one road after another was brought under their management, the range of his official activity steadily extended. In 1875 he was promoted to be General Counsel for the entire Vanderbilt system, and became a director in each of the seven lines which it comprised. In 1872 Mr. Depew consented to run for the Lieutenant Governorship on the Liberal Republican (Greeley) ticket, and shared what he probably had foreseen would be the fate of that party; had there been much likelihood of his election, it is quite possible that he would not have been a candidate. In 1874 he was made a Regent of the State University, and one of the Commissioners to build the costly new Capitol at Albany. Seven years later (in 1881), when Senators Conkling and Platt quarreled with President Garfield and resigned their commissions, the Republican members of the Legislature, constituting a majority of that body, met in caucus to ballot for successors to represent the Empire State in the Senate.
