linois, and twenty. three years ago justice
Of its Supreme Court. Although he was
elected to the lower house of Congress he
never took his seat but was made a Senator
before the time came, defeating Abraham
Lincoln by the aid of the anti.Lecompton
Democrats, and with Lincoln's endorse
ment. When Lincoln was applied to by
the Republicans aud asked whether they
should vote for Trumbull, he answered !;
"Certainly, between Lyman Trumbull and
any other Democrat there can be no ques-
