The Hew York Journalist Who
Been Made o Congressman.
. y {Special Oonessondenee.1
New York, Nov. 15.—Amos J. Cum-
mings is one of the few hardworking news-
paper men Of this xdty who have become
known outside of the office where they work.
The system of not permitting writers to sign
their names to articles, which prevails hero,
gives but small chance for acquiring lame.
Mr. Cummings has been elected to represent
the Sixth district in congress. As a boy ha
worked in that district, graduated from It a
journeyman printer and there enlisted as a
volunteer in 1808, and for over a quarter of
a century has lived there.
He was born in Conkling, Broome county,
in 1848. His father
and grandfather
were clergymen. In
addition to his min-
isterial duties his
father edited end
published the only
paper in Irvington,
Tho Christian Mes-
senger and Herald.
Amos entered his
father’s printing
office when 13 years
old as a compositor
and has worked at
the case in nearly amos j. cum minor
every state in the Union. He left a situation as
compositor on The Tribune to go to tho front
with the Twenty-sixth New Jersey volun-
teers, and fought jn the battles of Fredericks-
burg and Chancellorsville and distinguished
himself at the charge of St. Mary’s heights
by saving a cannon at the immediate risk of
his life. He was mentioned for gallantry in
the official report of CoL Martindale. He re-
turned from the war with the rank of ser-
geant major and went fto work at the case in
The Tribune office, afterward becoming night
editor and city editor of that paper.
He left The Tribune to fill a more remu-
nerative position on The Sun, where ho has
since remained as one of the prominent
figures in the editorial forco. ‘Ho is a forceful
writer, an accurate observer, a ready and
witty speaker and a pleasing talker. Ho has
ability as a musician, too, and takes up the
violin, guitar and banjo with tho touch of
ono who knows how to get the best out of
them.
Mr. Cummings was with Walker at Nicara-
gua, and was one of those captured by Com-
modore Davis on tho Quaker City. He is
now president of the Now York Press club,
and generally very much liked by thoso who
know him. In his speech accepting tho nom-
ination ho said: “Workingmen will know
where to find my vote on questions in which
they are interested. Capital, however, has
its rights as well as labor, and neither should
be jeopardized by hasty legislation." Mr.
Cummings is a fine looking man, of easy
and dignified address, who will ably repre-
sent his constituents.
One of the interesting incidents in Mr.
Cumming’g active career is his participation
in the defense of The Tribune of this city in
the draft riots. Ho came hero on his return
from the war, and on the day -of tho draft
riots, July 13,18(3, he went down to The
Tribune building to see somo of his old
friends. His brother Charles, also o returned
soldier, was with him. They found the
building surrounded by angry men mid the
employes In abject terror. Amos was in-
duced to act os a substitute for ono of the
compositors, who was too seared to stay.
He accepted 810 for tho night’s work, itud
his brother Charles “subbed" for another
compositor for $30. Only four men stayed
at their cases. They were Amos and Charles
and Sylvester Dailey and Petet Hackett.
The crowd outside constantly increased in
proportions and became turbulent. Finally
the infuriated rioters sacked the office and
set fire to the furniture. Amos and his com-
rades barricaded the composing room door
with heavy “turtles,” or curved forms, and
stood ready to fight. Amos had a revolver
and tho others armed themselves with sucb
material as they could find. Captain Thorne
came with a squad of police lust in time to
prevent hostilities, and cleared the square by
