HOW LINCOLN WAS NOMINATED

James Madison Conner now living in sonema

the nomination OF Abraham Lincoln IN 1850 Was
due 20 him and claims that but for him Lincoln
might never nave been President, the Civil War
might never have occurred the eoored man mlgh
still be in slavery. and any number OF epoch max
ing events might never have taken place.
lie bases his claim on the fact that in the Oregon
ReDublican Stale Convention OF 1850 he introduced
the resolution which made Horace Greeley dele
gate-at-large from oregon - the Republican Ma
Tional Convention Greeley defeated Seward In the
convention. Stewards defeat gave the nomination
TO Lincoln. and Mr.. Conner figures it that If he
had not offered Greeley's name In the oregon con-
yention the NeW-YOrk editor would not have been
a delegate. and could not have worked as effect
IveIy as he did against seward, VINO might then
have been nominated instead OF Lincoln. Mr..
conner does not claim all or even half, the credit

resolution in the oregon convention, and the tracer
