rhermore as his moral characteristics
were fidslity to truth, justice, and sym.
patty, he had, in Judge Davis opinion
the mental and moral traits which
when given opportunity, make states,
manship possible.
It Is interesting to note that some OF
those who joined with Judge Davis in
the purpose to make Lincoln ths re-
publican presidential candidate IN 1860,
did not agree with his opinion that
Lincoln was a politician OF con syInmate
ability. They thought it necessary that
as far as pure politics were concerned
his friends who had shown adeptness
in managing caucuses and IN forcing
nominations, should be free TO play the
politicians game, whose prize was the
nomination for president. 1t is true
that Lincoln had diplayerd 10 skill IN
the petty details of politics which many
think are the essentials for political
leadership although Judge Davfs al
ways believed that he could have done
those things had he cared 20 Try his
hand at them. But Davis and some
others Knew, although Judd and
Browning and Trumbull did not, that
Lincoln was moving the greater pieces
upon the chess board, while he left TO

TOLD OF A BLIND STUDENT.

Attachments That Seem Hardly Possible
to Ono without sight.
The career of James P. Hamilton, q
blind student 1T the University of
Michigan. is in many respects q re-
markable one. At an early age.
through an accident. the sight Of both
OF his eyes was destroyed. and since
then he has fought q successful battle
in life against great odds. He Is the son
of Rev. James Hamilton, of Grand
Rapids, Mich. He was born at Big Rap
ids, in the same state. October 1e, 1872.
When three years old he fell. end struck
the points of a pair Of shears into one
eye, and from sympathetic affection
and treatment he lost the sight of both
eyes. When he was about ten years old
he entered the Michigan school for the
blind at Lansing, and remained there
until he was graduated in the literary
course. He also learned the trades OF
broom making and piano tuning. He
then made a trip to Europe, paying his
own way by money earned at piano
tuning. While in Europe he studied
both French and German, and now he Ia
able to speak these languages fiuently.
He travelled over the most Interesting
portions of the old world, and he says
the trip was very beneficial in many
ways.
On his return from his trip abroad
he entered Albion college. and from
there he entered the university at Ann
Arbor, where he expects TO take the
classical course. In the summer of 1895
he was married. and he and his wife
spent the year in Italy and Greece in
study. In Greece especially be was an
object Of great interest. In that coun-
try the blind do nothing but beg. and
nothing more is expected of them. And
Mr.. Hamilton, with his attainments
was much admired.
He and his wife were invited to dine
with numerous members of the nobility,
and were finally cent for BY the Queen.
Mr.. Hamilton is not only an expert
piano tuner. but is musician of merit
and has testimonials from the leading
Conservatives of America and the old
world. Every lecture that he attends
he takes notes of the subject, and his
mind is so trained that he can remem-

nois, but events showed that his judg-
ment as politician was more accurate
than theirs, and he was thus able TO
anticipate by some months Stewards
declaration at Rochester that the ques-
ton OF the extension Of slavery had
brought about an '.irreprc&ible con-
fict.''
Then, too. his politician friends
cquirmed when. during the debates
with Douglas, no told them that he
proposed to ask Douglas q certain
question.
Don't do it." they cried 'sIf you do,
he will answer it in such a way as to
make his reelection to the senate GER
tain"
'True," replied Lincoln, 'but II he
takes that shot he can never be presi-
dent"
THAT" said Judge Davis, long after,
twas pure and grand politics, but most
of US did not see it then We did after
wards"
Horace Greeley's idea of Lincoln was
that he was a typical product of the
prairies with gift for public speaking
and knaok of saying a thing per-
suasively; man who had cultivated
friends and made no enemies, and had
been chosen by ceterie of politicians
of good deal Of ability as an available
man for them to win the presidential
prize with. It was with anxiety that
Greeley saw him inaugurated presi-
dent. A little later the editor began "a
nag him. Yet one brief public letter
that Lincoln wrote to Greeley convinced
the people and probably satisfied
Greeley that Lincoln was his match
with the pen. When Greeley had full
understanding of the mastery Politics
by which Lincoln overcame the rebel
Eous movement against him in the
party in 1864, then the great political
editor understood clearly that the presi-
dent was chief among the greater
politicians OF his time.
Thurlow Weed was one of the first of
the eastern politicians to admit that
Lincoln's power as a politician had
been woefully underestimate in the
east Weed said not long before his
death that the manner in which Lincoln
constructed his cabinet and especially
the skill and discretion he showed
when he practically. compelled Sena-
tor Seward 10 accept the state depart
ment, taught him Weed that Lincoln's
ability as q politician Of the higher
order was such as would make him the
master and not, as many thought, the
amiable follower Of his cabinet. Had
Seward understood this as early as
Thurlow Weed did he would probably
have escaped his experience In the be-
ginning of the administration by which
he was taught that Mr.. Lincoln ex-
pected to dominate his cabinet and not
be dominated by it.
In the east some of the ablest men
were very apprehensife that the mex

sn Lincoln were alive to-day he would
be surprised and amused at some of the
things that are said about him nova
days." said the late David Davis, to q
little company of friends one evening
in the spring of 1883. Judge Davis

southern trip just after the adjourn
ment of congress, and they were hav.

ting about men in public life whom
they lad known, when an anecdote OF
Lincoln was told. Judge Otto, who was
for many years the reporter of the su'
preme court, and who was one of that
saddened aud terrified group that stood
around the death-bed of Lincoln, re-
marked that as time passed it seemed
as though the Lincoln he knew was not
the Lincoln the imagination of the
younger generation, who did not know
him, pictured. In reply, Judge Davis
made the remark just quoted.
It has seemed to many Of those who
had personal acquaintance with Lin
coin, or close relations with the politi.
cal events with which he was associ-
ated, os though there were now a ten
dcncy to idealize him and, that without
real knowledge of the man as he was,
it has been assumed that he seemed as
supremacy great to the men who knew
him as he does to those of to-day, and
appealed as wildly to the imaginations
of those of his time as he does to those
CT the present.
Yet, it is easily recalled by these who
were Of that time and who are still
living and will celebrate his birthday
On the 18th, that there was vast diff
ference Of opinion respecting him while
he was making his career, and that
even those who admitted his greatness
of intellect disagreed when asked
wherein his intellectual superiority or
his commanding personal influence lay.
Judge Davis, before whom Lincoln
practiced on the illinois circuit, used to
say that Lincoln knew human nature
to its profoundest depths, it sometimes

knowledge made it possible for Lincoln
to become the supreme politician of his

to reason without conscious intellectual
effort, and as he had, both by native
gift and careful discipline, the power

Suppose, in spite Of the repeated

plague should reach Americas shores
low would its attacks be met? What
means are at hand to repel the inva-
sion?
New York being the largest port of

most elaborate and expensive defense
would haveto be made, and undoubtedly
that port possesses the most efficient
ard thoroughly organized quarantine
service in the world. 1t was that quar-
anime service which beat back the on
slaught of the cholera germs in 1892,
when Hamburg and the European
cities suffered so severely, and although
the precautions then taken to prevent

republicans rad elected president,

republicans had elected president,
would prove either totally incompetent
or worse, would subject the nation to
humiliation because of lack OF fanihari-
" with the conventionalities of life.
William NJ. Evarts was sincere in bis
doubts. Itseemed 20 him that the new
party had imperiled it's existence by
electing as president an Inexperienced
man whose only qualification seemed TO
be skill in political debate upon the
stump. The very freedom Of inter
course, the lack of assumed dignity. the
apparently frivolous fondness for jest
and humorous anecdote seemed 10 Mr..
Evarts to warrant the gravest appre-
hersion on the part of those who knew
how great the crisis of the hour was.
But, On the other hand, men Of as
clear penetration as Evarts was thought
10 possess believed that Lincoln's
speeches showed something greater
than mere facility of expression upon
the stump. William Cullen Bryant de-
clsred that none but e great man could

speech or the House Divided Against

puted TO have said that man Is your

one that Lincoln deserved the high place

republicans. and DR.. John P. GuiHvc-,
one of the ablest OF ca stern theologisns,
