lINCOLN'S MAIDEN SPEECH.

Straight to the Point.

Straight to the Point
A citizen of Buffalo has found among
his papers al account Of the circum-
stances under which Abraham Lincoln
made his maiden speech. 1t wss
originally printed in the Springfield
,rll.) Republican, and is as follows:
THE president cf the United States
made his maiden speech in Sangamon
county at Pappasville (or Richlsnd) in
the year 1882. He was then a whig
and a candidate for the legislature oi
this state. The speech is sharp and
sensible. To understand why it was
SO short the following facts will show:
a. Mr.. Lincoln was young man, say
twenty-five years of age. and tirnid-
(a) His friends and opponents in the
joint discussions had rolled the sun
nearly down Lincoln saw il was no:
the proper time then TO discuss the
questions fully, and hence he cut his
remarks short. Probably the other
candidates had wholly exhausted the
subjects under discussion. The time,
according to W II. Herndon's infor-
mant-who has kindly furnished this
valuable reminiscence for us-wes
1882; it may have been 1881. The pres
ident lived a. the time with James a
Eurdon, az salem. SaEgaaoa county,
who heard the speech. talked about IL
and knows the report to be correct
The speech, which was characteristic
OF the nan, was as follows:
'Gentlenen. FeIlow-Citizens: / pre-

been solicited by my friends 10 become

CHICAGO. Feb. 2a-Thomas II. Carter. Chair

spent to-day in this city on his way home to
Montana He said:
1T is probable that the National Commit
tee at its regular meeting will adopt the
recommendation OF the Executive Committee
on the change Of representation in tho Ma
tional Convention. The change recognizes
the right OF the communities that gave
the TUX OF the vote 70 the party to
dominate the choice OF the Conyen-
ton. Instead OF two delegates from
each Congressional district, We propose
to place Il at one, with an additional delegate
for each 1000 votes cast Ia the district for the
last Presidential candidate Of tho party. In
the past the action OF the Convention has been
controlled By the delegates from the states in
which there vas no possible chance Of seeur-
ing the electoral vote for the nominee.
The change will minimize the influence Of
the delegations that are always given Ia eon-
sidsEation for some bargain. There will DO
some opposition from the members Of the
committee from the southern States. but as
the new basis IL founded upon right and jus-
tics. have no doubt Of its adoption In Mon.
