iIE"SPONED STEPHEN.n

Professor Smith, for many years su-
! perintendent of the city schools OF
story about Lincoln which he claimed
! has never before been printed, and all
! who knew that good man will testify
! to his moral incapacity for coming
such story. His statement to the
writer was that be and Professor New
ton Rateman of Galesburg, Ills, were
| the speakers on the platform AS mem
| bers of the republican committee
or as a sub committee TO accompany
Mr., Lincoln on this occasion. The
meetings between Stephen A. Douglas
and Mr. Lincoln during the memorable
senatorial campaign of 1859.
The two gentle me n referred to, Mrs.
Douglas and many other persons Of
distinction wera with the speakers GA
the platform. Douglas opened the
debate with a speech of an hour and a
half. He seemed to be inspired by
the occasion, the Immediate presence
of his wife and the large and appreci-
alive audience to surpass himself.
His argument and and oratory were
convincing and overpowering His
title to the cognomen "Little Giant"
given him by his friends, was fully
demonstrated by his eloquent per-
Torrance.
AS point after point was made amid
the applause of his friends and admir-
ers, they grew more and more conf
dent and elated, while Lincoln's friends
were correspondingly discouraged
and depressed. So eloquent and con
vincing was his address that Professor
Smith leaned over and whispered to
his friend and colleague, Professor
Bateman: "Bateman, we are licked
this time. Lincoln can never answer
this address. The crowd is so carried
possible for Lincoln to get a hearing"
"Wait and see," was the reply of
Bateman.
During the delivery of his oppo
nent's address Mr.. Lincoln sat with
his legs crossed, head bowed, eyes
partially closed and countenance as
expressionless as parchment. When
Douglas had concluded his address
and taken his seat, Mr.. Lincoln re-
NAMED seated, allowing the friends of
Douglas to cheer and shout to their
hearts, content. He then arose ami
walked slowly and deliberately to the
front of the platform, raised himself
to his full height and looked over his
audience for little without uttering
a syllable. He then began to unbutt n
and slowly remove long linen buster
which covered conventional suit OF
black. After folding it with great
care and deliberation he handed il to
some one just back of him and said in
his clear, penetrating voice, that
reached every ear in his now quiet
and eXpectant audience, 'Young man,
hold tn t while stone Stephen"
The effect was electrical and all that
Mr.. Lincon's friends could have de-
sired. Douglas eloquence was for
gotten. The audience was quick TO ,
catch the force and point of this play |
on words. They laughed and cheered
and we're at once placed in that recep I
tive attitude that was necessary fnl
Mr.. Lincoln's successful rejoinder.
Mr. Lincoln had by this master
stroke of wit secured the good will
and kindly attention OF his hearers
while he proceeded to 'stone Stephen"
with arguments which have perma
nently enriched political literature
and made the speaker the first repub'
ican president of the United States
Omitted Presbyterian.
