A pleasant example of the growing
pride which the west is taking in its
own history is the celebration to be
held on October at Galesburg, Illinois.
in honor of the fifth of the Lincoln and
Douglas debates. There has never
been in the history of the United States
a more distinguished political contest
than THAI held in the summer and fall
of 1858 on the prairies of Illinois. The
issue was a vital one Should slavery
be extended or confined in that portion
OF the national domain where it then
was allowed. Douglas declared that
slavery could be carried into the terri
tories if the inhabitants wanted it. Lii
coin commended that the admission Of
slavery into the territories was in di-
rect opposition to the intention Of the
founders Of the country, since ii e1-
tended the institution instead of put
ting it where 1t would be in course of
ultimate extinction. For three months

excitement. There was not hamlet,
a corner, a school district, in which the
question was not agitated. The issue
had ceased to a degree to be political
ana had become moral. Hundreds of
men who in the beginning were ardent
Democrats had joined the Republican
party under the force of Lincoln's ar
Euments. Not only had the debates
stirred the whole state OF Illinois. they

had come back that they were making
sensation there. Strangely enough as
1t seemed to Illinois, it was not Doug

had failed to turn over to them, or
satisfactorily account for, about $780,
900 in cash. Judge Gober was con-
vinced that there was something
wrong, and upon Ryan's refusal to
turn over the money, sent him to Jail
for contempt of court. Although he
denied persistently that he had the
money, he was kept in Jail for about
13 months. until finally released upon
an order of the supreme court. Ever
since his release, Ryan has been threat
ening that he would have satisfaction
out of the hide of Judge Gober, and
meeting the judge on the streets of
Atlanta few days ago, attacked him
with a cowhide. Judge Gober de.

bystanders interferred. Byan was

of Atlanta and of Marietta, Judge
