JCN:US HENRI BROWNE.
AS A STUMP SPEAKER.
Lincoln's Famous Grafton In Cooper Union,
New York.

New NOrk.
Mr.. Lincoln was the only man who
ever went directly from the stump to
tho presidency and was, i'll fact, the only
man ever chosen to that office who did
not at the time of such choice or within
a very near period of time hold public
office or stand conspicuous before the
nation for military achievement.
Mr.. Lincoln was nominated for the
presidency within few weeks after he
had finished the last and one of the
most important stumping tours which
he ever made. 1t is one about which
less has been written than has been told
Of any Of his other experiences upon the
hustings, and yet it was one which had
almost as important influence i'll recon-
CLING the leading men of his party to
his nomination as even that more con-
spicuous and brilliant succession of de-
bates which he held two years before
with Stephen A. Douglas
1t was doubtless with a view of re-
vealing to the able men of the east that
Mr., Lincoln was as logical, lucid, terse,
impressive and cultivated an orator as
any man that the east possessed that the
suggestion was delicately conveyed to
the eastern Republicans that he might
consent to deliver an address in New
York city. If there was no great belief

seemed to be animated with the highest
purpose, the purest of motives


purpose, the purest of motives.
Lincoln's subject was, Of course,
"Slavery," the one, the absorbing ques-
tion of Che time. He treated it in the
calmest, fairest, most unimpassioned
manner, though the habit of the day.
both north and south, was to look at it
altogether sectionally and to discuss it
for the most part with ardent bias and
temper.
He pointed out clearly, as remember,
tho danger of slavery to the whole coun-
try; that slavery was as inconsistent
with freedom in the north as it was
with freedom at home. Whatever
slavery might be morally, and he de-
clined then to debate its moral aspect,
its political aspects at such a crisis were
more important, were vital indeed, to
the preservation of the nation. He would
give to the south every constitutional
right, but it should be remembered that
the north also had rights, and that it
could not endure continued encroach-
ments, which, a few years before, had
never been put forward or even
imagined, without losing its independ-
ence and self respect. The two systems
of slave labor and free labor, he did not
believe, could much longer coexist.
This was, | think, the substance of his
speech, but it gives no idea of its i'm
partial character, to which even Caro-
linian fre eater could hardly have taken
exception, 1t contained not one rhetor-
ical phrase. 1t was all reason, practical
ity, common sense, but intensely in
teresting. The speaker plainly was not an
orator in the usual sense, and yet his
effort was the sum of all oratory 1t was
wholly convincing, wholly unanswer-
able, and the vast assembly must have
SO regarded it, The enthusiasm at the
close was immense A new order of
politician, the coming man, had clearly
been revealed.
in common with many others step
ped forward to grasp his hand. He had
won me over completely. From that
hour to his death was his profound
admirer, and revere his memory today
as the greatest Of all Americans. 1t may
seem nothing to conquer the passionate
prejudice of bumptious boy barely out
of his teens. But it is the strongest
prejudice that can be cherished and can
be conquered only by combination of
the rarest power and the loftiest genius,
such as belonged indisputably to Abra-
ham Lincoln.

She Cared For Bob and Willie Lincoln
Before the War.
Aunt Ruth Stanton, an old colored wo-
man who resides in st. Louis, was a
nurse in Abraham Lincoln's family
years ago, when they lived in Spring
field, and long before tho ultimate glory
Of tho great emancipator was outlined.
Aunt Ruth is now a janitress and
drudges all Cay long, but she is yet in
robust health. This is the story the old
lady tells of her experience, minus the
quaint dialect
"The Lincolns were poor then and
lived in a frame house with six rooms.
Mrs. Lincoln belonged to the Episcopal
church, and so did tho Bradfords |
used to take the Bradford children to
Sunday school, and on the way we
would sometia!es sec Mr. Robert Lin
coin, who was only 5 years old. Ho was
going to Sunday school, too, and the
Bradford children would say: 'Oh, Ruth,
there's that Bobby Lincoln with his
patched pants! Let's go the other way,
so as we won't meet him. Then we
would so by a roundabout way to
church to get away from Bobby Lincoln
because he used to wear blue jean pants
which his mother made for him and
patched for him when he wore hole
i'll them. After awhile Mrs. Bradford
sent me over to help Mrs. Lincoln every
Saturday, for she had no servant and
had to do her own houseworl Then
Mrs. Bradford sent me to live with the
Lincolns.

She did all the up stairs work, made
clothes for the boys, Robert and Willie,
and cooked the meals. Mr. Lincoln was
a very good and kind man, but l don't
remember anything particular about
him, for l was very young Ho WAS a
very tall man. That's all can remem-
ber of him. He used to be at his Office
all the day long, and did not see much
of him, but l never expected to see him
president of the United States.
Mrs Lincoln was very nice lady.
She worked hard and was good church
member. Every Thursday the sewing

meet at Mrs. Lincoln's house and make
clothes for the very poor people. She
