LINCOLN AND HAMLIN.
Did the President Work for Johnson
Mcclure Roasts Nicolay.

CHICAGO, July S.-Burton c. Cook. of
Chicago, who was chairman of the Illinois
delegation in the Republican convention
of 1854 and who nominated Lincoln in
that convention for reelection, declared in
an interview tonight that the statement
that Lincoln favored Hamlin's re-nomina-
ton is correct. Although Lincoln did not
tell him so directly he had given Cook so
to understand Cook attributes the selec-
ton of Johnson to the eloquence of Horace
Maynard, who pathetically described the
sufferings of the people of the South,
and brilliantly advocated the expediency
of choosing Johnson.
PHILADELPHIA, July S.-The Times, to-
morrow, will publish an editorial from
Colonel Mcclure. in which, referring 10
John C. Nicolay's telegram 10 the widow
of Vice President Hamlin yesterday, Nc
Clure will say:
The ignorance exhibited by Nicolay is equaled
only by his arrogance in assuming TO speak for
Abraham Lincoln in matters about which he
was never consulted and of which he had no
more knowledge than any other routine clerk
about the White House.
Colonel Mcclure goes on to set forth the
fact that it was with him that President
Lincoln conferred regarding the advisa-
ern man, and after said conference he
(McClure) returned TO the Baltimore con-
yention TO work and vote for Johnson,
although against all his personal predilec-
tions in the matter Reverting TO Nicolay,
Mcclure says be was good, mechanical
routine clerk He was utterly inefficient
as secretary of the president His re-
moval was earnestly pressed upon Lincoln
on more than one occasion, because OF his
utter want of tact and fitness for his trust,
and only the proverbial kindness of Lin
coin saved him. Nicolay saw and knew
President Lincoln; the man Abraham
Lincoln he never saw and never knew.
Mcclure, after citing certain actions Of
Nicolay at Baltimore to show that he was
! ignorant of Lincoln's real wishes, calls at
tention 10 the statement of Charles A
| Dana in another column. Dana logically
| tells of Johnson's selection by Lincoln.
| With Dana's direct corroboration of my

corroborative fact. l may safely dismiss

ance and arrogance has thrust upon me- 7"
