(Herman Henry), 1853-1924 Illinois--Chicago Newspaper editors Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) Newspapers--Ownership Newspapers McKinley, William, 1843-1901 Presidents--Election Political campaigns Description An account of the resource Herman Henry Kohlsaat was born March 22, 1853 in Albion, Edwards County, Illinois, one of six children of Reimer and Sarah (Hall) Kohlsaat. Reimer and Sarah Kohlsaat were abolitionists whose home was reportedly a station on the Underground Railroad. The Kohlsaat family moved to Galena, Illinois, in 1854 until moving to Chicago in 1865. He became a travelling salesman, eventually working for Blake, Shaw and Company, a wholesale bakery owned by R. Nelson Blake, who was to become Kohlsaat’s father-in-law. In 1880 Kohlsaat married Mabel E. Blake and became a junior partner of Blake, Shaw and Company in charge of a bakery-lunch establishment in the city. In 1883 he brought out Blake, Shaw and Company’s interest in the establishment and started H.H. Kohlsaat and Company, which for about thirty years was one of the largest baking establishments in Chicago. He opened several lunch stores which drew a good patronage from the businessmen of the Loop district. In 1888 Kohlsaat was an alternate delegate at the Republican national convention held in Chicago. He became an early supporter of William McKinley, then Governor of Ohio, working for his nomination and election to the presidency in 1896. Kohlsaat was a friend, confidant and advisor of five United States Presidents: McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, and Harding.  In 1891, Kohlsaat purchased a half-interest in the Chicago newspaper Inter-Ocean. In 1894 Kohlsaat abandoned his interest in the Inter-Ocean, and purchased the Chicago Times-Herald and the Evening Post. He converted the papers from Democratic to independent Republican organs. His influence in the Republican Party helped draft the gold-standards plank during the 1896 convention in St. Louis. McKinley’s ensuing campaign for the presidency against free silverite William Jennings Bryan was ultimately won on the gold standard issues.  In 1901 Kohlsaat purchased the Chicago Record from Victor F. Lawson and combined it with the Times-Herald, naming the new paper the Record-Herald. Kohlsaat resigned the editorship of the Record-Herald for a time to devote himself to his real estate interests, but later regained control in 1910. He remained editor of the Record-Herald for two years, and then he returned to edit the Inter-Ocean. Kohlsaat left the Inter-Ocean after a year and became a member of the staff of New York Times. Kohlsaat died October 17, 1924, in Washington, D.C., at the home of Herbert Hoover.

Chicago July 17 1862 My Dear Governor, The idea of a special session is I suppose abandoned. While I regret this for several reasons yet I think it is sound policy. After the settlement made by you with the U.S. and the act allowing our fourteenth member of Congress to be elected by general ticket, there were no reasons which could have been assigned for calling a special session which would have been satisfactory to the people. If a special session had been called our party would have been divided on <hr /> the question of its necessity and expediency. The Chicago Tribune would have bitterly denounced it. This I state from personal knowledge of their intentions. It might have furnished our political enemies with arguments to use against us at the Nov election. They would have claimed that a special session was wholly unnecessary, that it was called exclusively for political purposes, and that a large expense had been incurred unnecessarily &c. Now for the future. A favorite motto with me (whether it is a good or bad one I will not say) is, "All is not lost that is delayed." <hr /> Both branches of the next Legislature must be secured at the Nov Election, and a majority of the republican members must be "Yates Men" when they are elected. All members of the present Legislature who are favorable to your Election to the senate must be induced to become candidates for reelection. This may not be practicable in every instance but generally can be accomplished with a little maneuvering. Plans must be devised by which your friends shall be candidates in all republican districts. You have warm friends <hr /> in each of those districts. They must be posted up in this matter and can bring about the desired result. A little work in this direction before election may save a good deal of labor & trouble after election. The first great object, however is to secure a republican majority in each branch. This in my opinion will be the most difficult task of all. Plans are now being secretly concocted in some of the northern counties for another union movement by which the democracy hope to carry the Legislature. They intend to sacrifice every thing to that one end. They will sell <hr /> Treas. Supt of Schools county officers & Congressmen for members of the Legislature. The democrats will select some leading republican in a republican district & promise him a nomination for Congress on condition that he will go into a union movement & use his influence to secure the election of a democratic rep or senator in his county. I have strong reasons for believing that a plan of this kind is thought of in our congressional & senatorial districts. Church will be <hr /> the candidate for congress & Wm M Jackson for the senate. I have not time or space to give you my reasons for this belief. This matters so far as Church & Jackson are concerned I desire to be strictly confidential. I may be mistaken & I do not want to do injustice to either of them. We can defeat this movement in our district, but if it is attempted with us it will be elsewhere & the matter must be closely watched. A friend at Washington advises me that Peck (who is now at Washington) as acting <hr /> chairman of state com. will not call or unite in a call for a straight republican convention. He favors some kind of a mongrel concern. Church (LS) is not in favor of a union convention but insists that the call shall be so broad that all war democrats can come in. This plan might be well enough if the war democrats will join us in good faith but if they only want to get control of the Legislature I will see them d--d before I will even ask them to come in. I have no confidence in them & will not trust them. In my opinion we had better take a straight <hr /> forward course make party nominations & stand by them. If the war democrats join us in any numbers either through a union call or through a plank held out to them [unclear] call they will want a portion of the offices & will not be overmodest in their demands. Dissensions will arise between us and them & even in our own party and the ultimate result will be disastrous to us as it was last fall. We can carry the state and the Legislature by a strict party vote. Let us then be content with and adopt that policy. Your letter to the Prest & your proclamation meets with the hearty commendation of all except semi-secessionists. I hope to see you personally soon. Very truly yours E. Peyre Ferry <hr /> Hon. E. P.

South Pass, Union Co Ill Sep 28, '63 Honorable Governor Yates, I a few days ago got consent from my Father to become a nurse in some hospital where many of our Brave Boys are suffering from deseas and wounds, My Father is to old to be a soldier and My Brothers are scarce fourteen so our family cant have the honor of one of them shouldering their musket in defence of the "Rights and Liberties of our Country; (for which we are sorry;) and we live out in the Country where we have but few oppertunities for our Country and her noble defenders My Sister and I formed a plan that I should go as a nurse and she would stay at home and take care of our dear Mother, and Father, But after I got their consent I dident know, and no one could tell me who and where to write in order to get in. I had almost given up the plan in dispair, when the bright idea dropped into my mind to write Governor Yates, the man <hr /> which has done so much for his boys and see what he will do for you, It is through love for my Country and her suffering soldiers that I offer my servis, and humbly ask of you to do the best you can for me, With God as my friend and a determination to do what is Right (and gain the approbation of My Parents) You shall never no never feel ashamed of the girl whom you sent as a nurse. Do for me the best you can and oblige, Respectfully Yours, Miss Eliza J. Walker Box 4 <hr /> Walker Miss E. J. South Pass Union Co Sep 28 1863 Wishes to be employed as nurse in some hospital.

South Pass, Union Co Ill Sep 28, '63 Honorable Governor Yates, I a few days ago got consent from my Father to become a nurse in some hospital where many of our Brave Boys are suffering from deseas and wounds, My Father is to old to be a soldier and My Brothers are scarce fourteen so our family cant have the honor of one of them shouldering their musket in defence of the "Rights and Liberties of our Country; (for which we are sorry;) and we live out in the Country where we have but few oppertunities for our Country and her noble defenders My Sister and I formed a plan that I should go as a nurse and she would stay at home and take care of our dear Mother, and Father, But after I got their consent I dident know, and no one could tell me who and where to write in order to get in. I had almost given up the plan in dispair, when the bright idea dropped into my mind to write Governor Yates, the man <hr /> which has done so much for his boys and see what he will do for you, It is through love for my Country and her suffering soldiers that I offer my servis, and humbly ask of you to do the best you can for me, With God as my friend and a determination to do what is Right (and gain the approbation of My Parents) You shall never no never feel ashamed of the girl whom you sent as a nurse. Do for me the best you can and oblige, Respectfully Yours, Miss Eliza J. Walker Box 4 <hr /> Walker Miss E. J. South Pass Union Co Sep 28 1863 Wishes to be employed as nurse in some hospital.
