ter Of john Randolph Of Roanoke Ia
an article contributed to the March
CENTURY by Powhataa Bouldin. A
num- Der OF hitherto unpublished let
ters written by the eccentric and
picturesque Virginia statesman are
i3cluded. In one OF these, frankly
and rather pessimistically discussing
his own gifts OF oratory, Randolph
says: "The causes OF my failure have,
for the most part, been known only
to myself. A mind harrassed with
cares, q heart lacerated by unkind-
ness and ingratitude, spirit broken
by treachery, senses jaded by excess,
these are not the circumstances under
which a man should rise without
preparation to address a public as
sembly; nor will any man SO expose
himself who fears or courts public
opinion"

Under the Wilson law there is an

position as business man, who
spends more money every day, every
week, and every month, than he
earns. The nation is living beyond
its income. and II will so continue to
do until the Wilson tariff law 10 re-
pealed, for In no way can 1t be made
to produce the revenue that Is re-
quired to meet the expenditures of
the government We want more rev.
enue and we must have 1t. There
Is only one way to get it. We must
pass protective tariff law. Then
we shall be solvent government
Then we shall pay our bills when
they are presented. Then we shall
not need Treasury bookkeeping to
show a comfortable surplus when
every man of common sense in the
country knows that we are living 'on

Mr.. Thomas c. ~ ut, In his address
before the Progn Republican lub
In New York City, on Lincoln's birth

who earned hts In ing by backing
boots, had saved his arnings until he
had 900. Asked day as tO what
he proposed TO do With IL, he said be

was gOin to have, he Sc Id: Charles
Lewis lie died 4 Chris Jian." Then.
pausing q minute, he sad: Il guess
Ill change that Make it Charles
Lewis. lie voted for Abraham Lin
coin"
This simple story will touch thou
sands and thousands OF men. 1t
voiced very common sentiment,
pride In the act of voting for Lincolu.
In 1860 the majority OF the young
men, who voted for Abraham Lin
coin, voted for the principles he rep
resented rather than for the man.
1t was known that Abraham Lincoln
was man of the people, a man of
rugged honesty, and one who repre-
sented the earnestness and courage
of the new party, but outside of Hi
nois there was no proper appreciation
OF his personality. In all the country
neighborhoods, and In the cities of
the country, the opposition to Lin
coin was fierce, and In most cases uu-
scrupulous, so that the men who
voted for him, did so In the face of
more than ordinary Instructions and
discouragements. They were proud
OF the fact that they voted for him
at the time, but when the war came
aud Mr.. Lincoln showed to the world
the qualities that his more intimate
friends know he possessed, and In
addition some other qualities that
we're surprise to his friends, than
all the voters who had cast their
ballots for him, became more then
proud that they we're to be associated
even In remote way with the story
Of his life and success.
| One of the most prominent of the
men, who achieved success during
the war, was won't to say, that he al
ways regretted that he had not voted
for Lincoln. Many of those who
fought the battles for the Union cast
their frst votes for Lincoln and they
were always proud of the fact. The
impulse was right, and 1t Influenced
all their later political actions. The
act Of dropping Lincoln ticket ia
the ballot box stood to them always
as sort of conservation to great
cause, and 1t no doubt exercised a
potent influence through the stormy
years of the war, and the scarcely
less stormy years that succeeded the
war. To be true to Abraham Lin.
coin, to the principles he represented,
to the cause in which he was sacri-
iced, seemed to great many men
the highest sort Of duty. The men
who voted for Abraham Lincoln are
still proud of the fact
1t may be they have had scores of
differences on non-esseLtial points;
they may be divided now by party
lines, by the Limitation of fortune or
circumstance, by competition In busi-
ness, by rivalry In professions, but
on one point they all agree: They are
proud of the fact that they voted fol
