Henry B. Chamberlin’s service on the _Sun_ was briefer than that of the Chamberlin brothers or H. R. Chamberlain. He came to New York from Chicago, where he had been a reporter on the _Herald_, the _Tribune_, the _Inter-Ocean_, the _Times_, and the _Record_. After 1894, when he left the _Sun_, he was again with the Chicago _Record_, and in that paper’s service he saw the Santiago sea-fight from his boat--the only newspaper boat with the American squadron. Nor must any of these Chamberlins and Chamberlains be confused with some of their distinguished contemporaries not of the _Sun_--Joseph Edgar Chamberlin, who was the Cuban correspondent of the New York _Evening Post_ in 1898, and later an editorial writer on the New York _Evening Mail_ and the Boston _Transcript_; Eugene Tyler Chamberlain, one-time editor of the Albany _Argus_; and Samuel Selwyn Chamberlain, son of the famous Ivory Chamberlain of the New York _Herald_, founder of the _Matin_ of Paris, and at various times editor of the San Francisco _Examiner_ and the New York _American_. Edward G. Riggs, who left the _Sun_ on February 1, 1913, to become a railroad executive, had been a _Sun_ reporter and political correspondent for twenty-eight years. He joined the staff in 1885 as a Wall Street reporter. Though he never lost interest in the world of finance and its remarkable men, he soon gravitated toward politics. He became, indeed, the best-known writer of political news in America. He wrote at every national convention from 1888--when Ambrose W. Lyman, then the Washington correspondent of the _Sun_, was at the head of a staff that included Julian Ralph and E. O. Chamberlin--until 1912. In 1892 Ralph was in charge of the _Sun’s_ national convention work, with Riggs as his first lieutenant; but Riggs was the _Sun’s_ top-sawyer at the conventions of 1896, 1900, 1904, 1908, and 1912. Riggs had a closer view of the wheels of the political machines of New York State than any other political writer. His intimate acquaintance with Senators Platt and Hill, Governors Odell and Flower, and the other powers of the State brought to him one hundred per cent of the political truths of his time--the ten per cent that can be printed and the ninety per cent that can’t. Riggs never became a regular correspondent at either Washington or Albany. He preferred to rove, going where the news was. In Washington he knew and was welcomed by Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, and Taft; by Senators like Hanna and Quay; by Cabinet members like Hay and Knox; by House leaders like Reed and Bland. He knew J. P. Morgan and William C. Whitney as well as he knew William J. Bryan and Peffer, the Kansas Populist. Between Presidential elections, when political affairs were quiet in New York, Riggs acted as a scout for the _Sun_ with the whole country to scan. Mr. Dana had an unflagging interest in politics, and he relied on Riggs to bring reports from every field from Maine to California.
