Mr. Lincoln was the only man who
ever went directly from the stump to
the presidency and was, in fact, the only
man ever chosen to that office who did
not at the time of such choice or within
a very near period of time hold public
office or stand conspicuous before the
nation for military achievement.
Mr. Lincoln was nominated for the
presidency within a few weeks after he
had finished the last aud one of the
most important stumping tours which
he ever made. It is one about which
less has been written than has been told
of any of his other experiences upon the
hustings, aud yet it was one which had
almost as important influence in recon
ciling the leading men of his party to
his nomination as even that more con
spicuous and brilliant succession of de
bates which he held two years before
with Stephen A. Douglas.

Mr. Lincoln was introduced, and very

and when he stepped forth upon the
platform a great throng saw a man con

His appearance for the moment was not
such as to greatly impress those who
saw him. He spoke in a voice pitched
upon a high tenor key, but it was no
ticed that his words were distinctly
enunciated, and his voice carried easily
over that hall.
His first sentence surprised the ac

were before him. They expected to hear
a flowery, rhetorical and showy exor
dium, but there was no exordium at all.
He plunged immediately into his sub
ject, taking as his text a paragraph
front a speech delivered a few’ months
before by Douglas in Ohio. Before he
had spoken five minutes these able men
perceived his intellectual strength and
began to understand why he had gained
the pre-eminence which distinguished
him in the west. There were no flowers
of rhetoric in the address, but it was
noticed that the diction was singularly
accurate, simple, appropriate, and that
it was used with such remarkable fe
licity as enabled him to express abstract
ideas so that they were understood upon
the moment of hearing.
He had that great and distinguished
audience completely in his power with
in a few moments after he began to
6peak. Curiosity had vanished, ana
there came in its place that impressive
recognition which intellect gives to in
tellect. Before he was half through it
was perceived that he was setting forth
the tremendous issues of the day in such
a manner as had never been done in
New York, and when he had finished
these able men turned to one another
and with common thought exclaimed,
“ That is a masterly address.”
The pre-eminent ability revealed by
this address caused the profoundest im
pression in New York city. The speech
and the man were the chief topics of in
terest when Republicans met on the fol
lowing day and for many days there
after, and when the news came three
months later from Chicago that Mr.
Lincoln had been nominated for the
presidency there was probably not one
of those who heard that address who did
not recall it and find consolation in the
recollection of it for their disappoint
ment over Mr. Seward’s defeat.

A Pertinent Paragraph.
“Our country if righi, should be kept
right; if wrong should be put right.” is a
political maxim which paraphrased ap
plies to other conditions of life, thus: our
health if right, should be kept right; if
wrong should be put right, especially in
bodily ailments, such as pains and aches,
which St. Jacobs Oil promptly cures.
Many out of work should heed to give it
a chance to cure and it will give them a
chance to go to work cured. Another
adage is; “ ho doeth best, who doeth
well.” Well, of course, you want to be
well from all sorts of aches, and the be6t
thing to do is to use the great remedy.
He who does so is doiug well indet d.

Spring
e d i c i n e
Is a necessity because the tonic of winter
air is gone, and milder weather, increased
moisture, accumulated impurities in the
blood and debilitated condition of the
body, open the way for that tired feeling,
nervous troubles, and other ills. The
skin, mucous membrane and the various
organs strive in vain to relieve the im
pure current of life. They all welcome

arsa-

to assist Nature at this time when Bhe
most needs help, to purify the blood, tone
snd strengthen the laboring organs and
build up the nerves.
“ I was not able to wait on myself and
could not gain any strength until I began
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla about three

weak, but Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done me
much good and I have great confidence in
it.” M rs . E. R. K night , Tecumseh, Okia.
