Editor Willard Cobb of Lock
port tells this story Of Roscoe
Oonkling's remarkable memory.
In the fall of 1866 Mr.. Conkling
came homo to Utica to make a
speech upon the exciting issues OF
the hour, and the Herald wanted
to report 1t In full, but couldn't do
it unless the orator would give it a
copy of the speech in advance.
This he did on the afternoon of the
evening When he was to speak,
and in the evening he delivered
the speech almost word for word
as furnished In advance, although
the effort was to every appearance
extempore. 1t made upward OF
eleven solid columns of the Utica
Herald.
