Lincoln and Hamlin.

The Republican candidates for the Presi-
drncy and the Vice Presidency are in the
tcld-Hon. ABRAHAM LINCOLN of Illinois,
and Hon. HANNIBAL HAMLlS of Maine. The
West ard the East have come together to
honor the Republican party. and the great
Middle States have ordained the Union, .'for
the sake of the Unicn." We need not at
present review the field, as presented to the
country by the Chicago Convention, but may
be permitted to say simply that We doubt if,
on the whole. a ticket could have been pre-
sented to the Republican masses of the coun-
try which would have been more certain of
success. 1t is fortunate in the personal char
acter of both of its members, in their diverse
political trainings, in their representative ca
paci,ies as Republicans, in their local sources
of strength as well as in the sections from
which their nomination has been secured and
in the absence of all these repellent qualities
which might have made impossible the now
nearly certain combination of all the anti
Democratic elements ofthe country, to work
for one common and glorious victory.
Abraham Lincoln is man of the people
in the strctest sense, having sprung from
the humblest ranks-if such a classification
is possible in country illustrated by such
records as his. He was born in Hardin
County, KY. Feb. ~, 1909: and is now.
therefore, in the tif:y-second year of his age.
From early youth he was Injured to hard la
Dor, which left him neither much time nor
opportunity for mental cultivation. But
such natures as Mr.. Lincoln's make their
opportunities, as rivers are said to form their
own channels so that wherever he was,
whether as laborer in the field, in the saw
mill, getting out rails, or earning, on the
Western waters, the title of "The Flatboat
man." by which he is still endeared to those
who pursue that occupation, he constantly
found means to enrich his stock of knowi-
edge and strengthen his native powers. Thus
he went on, till he acquired sufficient legal
information to get admitted to the bar, when
he took up his residence in Springfield, ILL.,,
where he still dwels.
When the BLACK Hawk War" broke out
in the spring of 1882, Mr. Lincoln was a.
mong the first to offer his services, and was
elected captain of company of Illinois vol
unteers, at The head of which he distinguish
ed himself during the brief yet effective
campaign. He was afterward elected four
times to the State Legislature, taking deci-
ded ground as Wing of the Henry CLAY
school. In 1916 he was elected member
of the Thirtieth Congress, where he acted
with the Wing party and at the National

the whole country-that the Federal govern

aid in its construction. and that as premi-
nary thereto daily overland mail should be
promptly established.
18th. Finally, having thus set forth our
distinctive principles and views, We invite
the hearty cooperation of all citizens, howev-
er differing on other questions, who substan-
tally agree with Us in their support.

Hon HANNIBAL UAMLn.-We take from

loving sketch of the Republican, candidate

y DoUGLAs NIEw-Forney' Press,which
urges the nomination of douglas, has the
following in regard to the doings Of the Chi,
caSo Convention
but 1t Is now quite certain that if Mr..
Douglas be rejected by the Democratic Con
vcntion al BAllimore. Mr.. Lincoln will sweep
Illinois. Indiana. and the whole Northwest.
and his election by the people becomes. per
haps, toresone conclusion. One thing is
sure. and must be known to the Baltimore
Convention. and that is, that with Douglas
they can triumph, ard that with any other
candidate defeat is almost inevitable. What
the result may be time will determine. The
ScceGers and Disunionis,s who retired from
the Charleston Convention would. most as.
suredly. prefer the election of Republican
President rather than the success of Doug
las; but whether this factous, personal op-
position Can control the masses of the people
of the Southern States remains to be seen,
