Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hampton Roads Conference
Senator Vest has done a distinct service to the truth of history in thus publicly and in such a conspicuous manner denying the popular story as to what occurred at the Hamp ton Roads Conference - an event big with possibilities but without result, unless we accept as a result the knowledge that the war must continue until ended on the field of battle.
Senator Tillman having been corrected by Senator Vest, it is now in order to correct Senator Vest by documentary evidences1 and by the testimony of Mr. Alexander H. Stephens, one of the commissioners of the Confederate States and their chief spokesman at the celebrated Confer ence. Soon after the event Mr. Stephens put into enduring form his recollections of what occurred.2 Senator Vest's account is from his own memory of what was told to him thirty-seven years ago. From his account it must be ih ferred that the interview was of short duration, if, as Sen ator Vest would have us believe, President Lincoln delivered the ultimatum of unconditional surrender. It must also be inferred from Senator Vest's account that Mr. Hunter was the chief spokesman for the Confederate commissioners, that Judge Campbell was a stenographer, and that he made a verbatim report of what was said. Neither of the three propositions is true, as will be seen from the more reliable evidences and testimony which follow. The interview was of several hours duration according to President Lincoln it was about four hours long according to Mr. Stephens.
