Mr.. Lincoln is probably sixty years old.
His father and mother were married Nov.
4, 1872, few years after Mr. Lincoln had
moved with the capitol to Springfield.
Lincoln cid not marry until he was thirty
three years old. AS lawyer he was more
popular than distinguished, and never
had any great case, having been called
into the Reaper case merely because
local counsel was needed. From what

After his fathers marriage he went to the
Globa tavern in Springfield TO
dine, paying 81 week for his
room and board. He could hardly psy
this sum, but at the same time some of his
old crowd were calling him an arlstocrat
because he had married woman OF blood

Bob because his mother is said to have
his fathers talents. His father referred to
Robert Lincoln in letter written in 1916,
saying: have been elected TO congress

THE PROPHETIC GLOBE.
A GLOBE PROPHECY.


In 1876 the st. Paul GLOBE gained no
little credit for predicting the nomination
by the Democratic National convention of
Samuel j. Tilden for president and
Thomas Hendricks for vice president, and
their election by the people. The prophecy
was fulfilled to the letter, though neither
the Democratic party, nor the people
generally, were allowed 20 enjoy the fruits
of the victory won at the ballot box, the
dishonest partisan eight-to-seyen com
mission reversing the voice of the people
and bestowing the presidential office upon
one Rutherford B. Hayes, then and
now supposed to be resident
of Ohio. On the 9th inst. the GLOBE was
moved to another presidential prophesy,
this time, however, including the Inaugural
ton of its candidate. The GLOBE predic-
tion is as follows:
The Payne boom captured the caucus organi-
zation of the Ohio Legislature last night He
will be nominated for senator next Tuesday
night; will be elected president November 4,
1884, and inaugurated March 4, 1885,.
GOOD ON PREDICTIONS.
The st. Paul GLOBE predicts that Secs-
tor Payne, of Ohio, will be the Dem ocratic
candidate for president and that he will be
elected Hall is good on predictions but
this one will not be verified.
QUITE RECoNCILED To FATE.
Morris Tribune.
No wonder the st. Paul GLOBE booms
Payne for president. With the Standard
Oil company to. provide campaign fund
a condition of things would exist which
would fully obliterate the grateful
rsmembrances Of Tilden's memorable
barrel.

Townsend quoted from various

had always been in favor of tariff
reform and had always declared for
a revenue tariff. Some gentlemen
repudlated the term "protection, I"
and took refuge behind "discrimina-

down it would be found to be the
quintessence of protection and it
