TnE following racy burlcsquc is from the
pen of Artcmus Ward" of the Cleveland
Plain Dedler:
There are several reports anoat as to how
Honest Old Abe" received the news Of his
nomination, none of which are correct. We
give the correct report
"The Official Committee arrived in Spring
field at dewy eve and went to Honest Old
Abe's house. Honest Old Abe was not in.
Mrs. Honest Old Abe said Honest Old Abe
was out in the woods splitting rails. So the
official Committee went into the woods, where
sure enough they found Honest Old Abe split
ting rails with his two boys. 1t was grand,
a magnificent spectacle, There stood Honest
Old Abe in his shirt sleeves pair of leather
homemade suSpenderS holding pair of home
made pantaloons, the seat of which was neatly
patched with substantial clu!h uF n different
color. Mr.. Lincoln, Sir you've been nom.
mated, Sir for the highest office, SIR
oh don't bother me- said Honest Old Abe,
| took stent this mornn' to split three mill
ion rails afore night, and | don't want to be
pcStercd with no stuff about no Convention
till get my Stent done. I've only got two
hundred thousand rails to split before sun
down. | kin do it if you'll let me alone And
paying no attention to the Committee what
ever.
"The Committee were lost in admiration
for few moments, when they recovered, and
asked one Of Honest Old Abe'S boys whose
boy he was? I'm my parents boy shouted
the urchin, which burst Of wit so cOnvulScd
the Committee that they came very near gin.
in cOut' completely. In a few moments Hon
est Old Abe finished his task and received
the news with perfect selfpoSSeSsion. lie
then asked them up to the house where he
received them cordially. lie said he split
three million rails every day, although in very
poor health. Mr.. Lincoln is jovial man and
has keen sense of the ludicrous. During
the evening he asked Mr. EvartS, of New
York, why Chicago was like hen crossing
the streetE' Mr.. Evarts gave It up, Because,
said Mr.. Lincoln, old Grimes is dead, that
good old man + This exceedingly humorou.
thing created the most uproarious laughter
And as an evidence that he is statesman as
we'll as wing. it may be stated TINT during
the evening he profoundly observed, tha
governments were governed too much, ant
that an honest man was the noblest work o
God"
We should like to know, In this connection
il a man who can split three million rails
day isn't statesman"
