LINCOLN ON PATRONAGE
The first election atwbiob the
Republican party participated
in with a candidate for tbe
presidency, it went down in de
feat in 1856. Buchanan, the
Democratic candidate, received
of tbe popular vote 1,838,169
votes and in the electorial
college 174 votes. ' Fremont, the
Republican candidate, receivtd
1,384,264 popular votes and 114
electorial votes. The American
party candidate received 874,
634 popular votes but no elect
orial votes. The strength dis
played by the Republican party
surprised its friends and. dis
gusted the Democrats Events,
and the intense excitement on
the slavery question from 1850
to I860, made it almost certain
that the Republicans would
place a man in the Presidential
chair.
W H. Seward, who had long
been in the United States Senate
bravely and with great ability
battling against tbe further ex
tension of slavery, seemed to be
the logical candidate for the
presidency on the Republican
ticket. Abraham 'Lincolu was
talked of by a few who attended
the 2nd National Convention
which met at Chicago on May
16, 1800. On the first and
second ballot Mr. Lincoln
showed such strength that his
friends thought he could be
nominated if he would promise
to appoint, in his cabinet, if
elected, two men named by a
couple of strong delegations
His friends telegraphed to him
at Springfield, Illinois, for until
orily to make the deal. Lin
colu replied by wire, promptly,
"I uulhorizo no bargains and I
will be bound by none." He
was nominated on the 3rd
ballot and elected the following
November receiving 180 elector'
ial voles nud t popular vote of
1,805,031 votes.
The Encyclopedia Briltanica
in its biugruphy of Lincoln says:
"He never recognized u duty in
himself to appoint any man to
office simply because he had
bten a political friend, and
would remove no man Biiuply
because he huiLbeen his pontic
al enemy."
manifest as at the present time.
There is really nothing to fight
over and the workers in both
factions have arrived at the
point that they can see it Re
publican victory iu this county
next June if their efforts are
lined up against their rightful
opponents and as a result the1
cry has gone forth all over the
valley to "cut out" the old fight,
nominate a good .ticket and
elect it.
James Gilham, who hus been
a resident of this city for many
years is being mentioned as a
oandidate on the' Republican
ticket for county clerk. Mr.
Oilliam is competent in every
way for the position and if nom
inated will receive a handsome
vote wherever he is known and
he enjoys a lnrge acquaintance.
The name of Ben Brown is
being bandied by his friends as
a suitable man for assessor
Mr. Bro wn filled that office two
terms with credit and if nomi
nated it means his election, for
there are few better vote colters
than Uncle Ben.
R. A. Wilkinson, who has for
a number of years been one of
the enthusiastic teachers of this
county is being favorably men
tioned as a cimnidate for the
office of county school superin
tendent on the Republican
ticket.
HEARST ACTIVE
The young Democratic aspir
ant for Presidency seems to bo
giving the grey beards of that
party much concern. Several
district conventions in numer
ous status lnwo declared for the
young man and it now looks
like his nouiitiiliou is among
tho probabilities. In Ohio the
Grandpa Democrat? have started
a presidential boom for Col,
James Kilhourn, of Columbus.
The South at present seems to
profer Cleavland, but the
"Stuffed Profit" is too dignified
to make an active push, and the
young man may capture the
convention and go romping like
a schoo! boy to defeat.
EXPECTED IT
As was expected, the city hull
bond proposition curried at La
Grande last Monday, and the
fact will be used toward intluene
