Lincoln Off for Inauguration
By MERTON T. AKERS
UPI Correspondent
The weather was cold and
drizzly the morning of Feb.
11, 1861, in Springfield, 111. A
"special train of three cars and
a locomotive waited at the
Great Western Station to
carry Abraham Lincoln to
Washington and Inauguration.
It was due to leave at 8 a.m.
But as 7:30 came and went
and the politicians waiting in
the lobby of the Chenery
House to escort the president
elect to the train grew impa
tient. They sent Hermann
Kreismann, German-American
politician, to Lincoln's room to
see what was keeping him.
There Kreismann found Lin
coln sitting on a chair and
Mrs. Lincoln lying on the
floor, obviously distraught.
"Kreismann, she will not
let me go until I promise her
an office for one of her
friends," Lincoln said.
Lincoln Gives In
Kreismann stood by in em
barrassment as Lincoln, as
usual in such cases, gave in to
his tempermental wife. Then

passed through Baltimore, he heeded the
warnings. He put on an old overcoat and a
soft hat, left the hotel by the back door and
boarded a special train that whisked him
through the city. The sketch above, drawn
by Thomas Nast, depicts Lincoln, soft hat,
center, at the Camden station in Baltimore,
boarding the train which took him to Wash
ington. (UPI Telephoto)
the party started for the sta
lion.
The Lincolns had stayed the
night at the Chenery House
because the white frame fami
ly dwelling on 8th St. had
been leased. The cow and
horse had been sold and the
Lincoln boys' dog was farmed
out to a neighbor. The after
noon before Lincoln had taken
leave of Billy Herndon, his
law partner.
. In parting, Lincoln told his
partner, "If I live, I'm coming
back and we'll go right on
practicing law." That evening,
Lincoln roped his trunks and
labeled them: "A. Lincoln,
The White House, Washington,
D.C."
About a thousand persons
waited in the rain when the
presidential party arrived at
the station. As the locomotive
bell clanged, Lincoln spoke
the extemporaneous words
that have become famous:
"My friends, no one, not in
my situation, can appreciate
my feeling of sadness at this
parting. To this place, and the
kindness of these people, I
owe everything. Here I have
lived a quarter of a century,
and have passed from a young
to an old man. Here my chil
dren have been born, and one
is buried. I now leave, not

Lincoln Withholds Plans
The 12-day trip was Lin
coln's first ordeal of the presi
dency and he was far from
being at his best. Bound by
the fact that he had no real
power until he took the oath
of office March 4, he also
faced the grind of 20 major
speeches and dozens of im
promptu talks in big cities and
whistle stops.
All the way across the
county he revealed nothing of
his plans in his speeches and
little, if anything, in private
talks,
Big crowds greeted Lincoln
at every stop, most of them
enthusiastic.
About 20,000 heard him
proclaim from a balcony of
the Bates House in Indianapo
lis at the end of the first day:
"I will only say that to the
salvation of the Union there
needs but one single thing
the hearts of a people like
yours."
The second day of the trip
was his 52nd birthday and he
was riding across southern
Indiana not far from the
grave of his mother, Nancy
Hanks, whose death when
Lincoln was a child made an
everlasting impression.
Lincoln Is Certified
Cincinnati came next,
where the German-Americans
greeted him with band music
and a memorial, then Colum
bus, O., where he told the
legislature:
"There is nothing going
wrong . . . there is nothing
that really hurts anybody."
The phrases set off the edi
torial writers.
"Nothing going wrong . . ."

Goldberg Predicts
Steel Expansion
Pittsburgh - (I'PIl - Labor
Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg
has forecast long-range ex
pansion of employment and
growth of the nation's basic
industry.
He predicted that the steel
industry eventually would
employ more than 600.000
workers although more might
be holding white collar jobs
in the future.
Goldberg, winding up a
five -state tour of depressed
areas, announced he would
visit Massachusetts on a simi
lar trip in the near future.
The cabinet officer said that
current unemployment figures
indicated that Pittsburgh was
one of the worst-off cities in
the five industrial stales he
visited this week end.
"I have great confidence in
the future of the steel indus
try," he said.
"We need far more steel
than we've been consuming.
"The unused capacity in
steel can be utilized if we
build homes, schools, and oth
er things we really need."
Goldberg said that he would
visit states with Republican
governors in commenting on
newspaper reports emphasiz
ing that he had visited only
states with Democratic chief
executives.
