THOMAS K. tTBVIMI of Pnl iii.vni, III., Is one MMMg the few remaining number of those who remember the enrly days of the rebellion and the distract ing potlttt ai struggles of that time. Mr. Stevens, who was Orst sergeant of Company R. One Hundred nnd Twenty-second Illinois volunteers, recently told me some very Interesting details of the situation among the soldiers In the early sixties. During Oi tober. 1804, while waiting for his regiment to come In from Its pursuit of OtMNl Sterling Price, he served ns adjutant nt the convalescent barracks in St. l,oiils. Four hundred men were stationed there at that time, representing many regiments and stales About one -f till i of the boys were for Ocneriil McClcllan for presi dent, while the remaining two thirds were for Mr Lincoln. About a hun dred were from Illinois, which state, owing to legislative enactment, did not permit its troops to vote In the field, although many other states had made provision to that end. As election day drew near the anx iety of the men to exercise the right of franchisethe right of American cltl-aenshlp-became Intense. Southern sympathizers had spread a report that the government had Issued an order forbidding the furloiighlng of McClel lnn men Ik. me to vote Hut the lie was given lo this report In an order from the president directing that soldiers re siding In stales where no provision for voting In the Held had been made should be given furloughs home and for a length of time that would glvtt them ample opportunity to vote, to vote as they pleased, ami return to their respective commands The result was thai many soldiers who had Intended voting against Mr Lincoln voted for him, because he had given Hum an uuiramineled ballot and hail proved to i hem that he was not the narrow minded partisan his euu mles tried to mal.e him appear I.leilleli ml ' 1 1 : 1 1 1 1 1 : 1 1 1 of Mr Stevens' regiment was In couminiid of the bar rucks ami win n be begun to roti-.ilcr the mailer he found that M one had nnihorltv to Issue (he furloughs that wee i a asked f"i except Ocucrnl Hchutlcld. and he was away after By NEIL MACDONALD. Ccpyrlxht. 1913. by American Press Asso ciation. A WONG the noblest of our race A""V Our Lincoln stands the peer of au, With fame the years cannot efface While home and freedom men en thrall. With face illumined with the light OI greatness, Lincoln sped his way. Resolved that freedom and the right Throughout our country should have way. Whan troubles dire assailed the land Cod's self appointed man appeared To lead and lend a helping hand. To aave the fabnc freedom reared. j Warm hearted, true, of soul sincere. A man of rare, heroic mold, With confidence, unmoved by fear, He held intact what dear we hold. Yea, more than this, with sword and pen He struck at galling time worn gyves Which had enslaved a race of men And hope, enthroned in countless lives. Inspiration Throughout all coming years his fame Will'brighter grow with lapsing time , The mention of his honored name Will stimulate to deeds sublime.
