The Celebrated Pagan Pays Glorious
Tribute TO the Martyr President.
NEW YoRK, Feb. l2.-Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll delivered a lecture on Abra-
ham Lincoln, at the Broadway theatre
tonight. In summing up the character
OF Lincoln, Col. Ingersoll said:
Wealth could not purchase, power
could not awe, this divine, this loving
man. Ho knew no fear except that OF
doing wrong. Hating slavery, plying
the master-seeking to conquer, not
persons, but prejudices, he was the en-
bodiment OF the self denial, the courage,
the hope and the nobility of nation.
lie spoke not to inhame, not to upbraid,
but to convince. Ie raised his hands,
not to strike, but in benediction. lie
longed to pardon. He loved to see the
pearls OF joy on the cheeks OF n vito,
whose husband he had rescued from
death. Lincoln was the grandest figure
Of the ferCest civil war. He is the gen.
tlest memory OF our world"

DR.. GREEN'S serious illness is only OF
ton days duration, though for six
weeks he has been confined to the
house and since last fall has not been
well. DR.. Yandall described the disease
as catarrhal diarrhGa. A similar at
tack caused him suffering last summer
while at Saratoga.

Cleveland administration.
"This announcement was received
with delight by some, surprise by
many, and disappointment by others.
Those who have joined the Democratic
party because they believed it to be the
party OF the people, since Grover Glove
land became it9 leader, had nothing
but praise to offer. Straight.out Demo-
ocrats expressed regret that simon
pure Jacksonian should not have been
chosen. Some Republicans chuckled,
and declared that it was funny no Dem
ocrat could have been found fit for the
place,
None, however, questioned the ex-
traordinary ability of Judge Gresham,
or his qualifications to make great
premier. Many hesitated to express
opinions until alter the president-eIect
had officially announced his choice"
Edtorially, the World says: "Wo arc

ter Q. Gresham has accepted the Office
of secretary OF state IN the cabinet OF
