Starve Anarchy from the Brook
Ign Eagle, a democratic journal.
The article in question was handed
to us for publication and was sim

a leading democratic paper on a
subject of prime importance to the
American people. There was
nothing personal about it except
ing a sweeping arraigument Of

He Scored on Lincoln.


In 1858 Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas had joint debate
on the college grounds of Knox college,
Galesburg. 1t was great meeting,
and l shall never forget the tremen-
dous enthusiasm that was manifested
by the respective partisans of each Of
these great men. Mr.. Douglas bad the
opening and conclusion, and he got in
one shot ON Mr.. Lincoln that vas so
pat that even the adherents of that
gentleman had to join in the laughter.
Mr.. Lincoln. in the course of bis re-
marks, twitted his opponent with max
ing only one speech-a set Grafton
which he delivered to each new audi
ence. the suggestion being that he was
incapable Of changing his stock ad-
dress.
In reply Mr. Douglas said that ho adj
mitted the charge, and conceded that
his rival knew in advance what he was
going to say. He wished that he could
foretell with the same exactneSs what
Mr.. Lincoln was going to say, but alas!
that was impossible. since he changed
his argument to suit his audiences,
making a fierce abolition talk in COM
munities where that sentiment was
strongly entertained. as at Galesburg,
but in southern Illinois ignoring aboli-
ton and standing up squarely as an
old time Wing.
