C laflin’ s Story of Lincoln.
Ex-Governor Chitlin was a personal
friend of Lincolu and was In close
touch with him during the exciting
campaign «if 1880. He had a rich fund
of anecdotes, and his favorite was a
story of Lincoln and Douglas.
Douglas, meeting Lincoln, made a
characteristically unpleasant remark,
saying:
“ Why. A lie. I remember you when
you were nothing but a young clerk
peddling out goods at retail and selling
liquor over tlie counter.”
“ Yes.” answered Lincoln: “ the only
difference between you and me was
that I was ou one side of the counter
and you were on the other.”
