presented to the State Historical Society
the so-called senatorial cane," awarded
to him at q Washington fair in 1866 as
the most popular member OF the federal
senate. In his letter to Secretary
Thwaites Mr.. Dooittle says he has al
ways thought, as he received the cane as
q senator from Wisconsin, he would leave
it to the custody of the state as remih-
iscence of those times so memorable ia
the nations history. The cane was pre-
eented to him at the close of the soldiers
and sailors orphans fair. He received
1886 votes, the next highest candidate
being Senator Harris, who received 1856
votes. In accepting it at that time Mr.
Doolittle said he valued it as q token Of
personal regard, and was proud Of this
evidence that his course as senator
during ten years of great events had met
with degree of approval. This cane
would always remind him of the great
Civil War aud of it's terrible consequen-
ces. It would speak of the hundreds Of
thousands of brave men who gave their
lives for their country's salvation, it
would remind. him also of the orphans
they had left behind as sacred bequest
to the nation; it would bid him look to
these children as our own; it would re-
mind him, too, of the great cause for
which our fathers fought and died-the
holy cause of liberty and union under
the constitution OF our fathers.
