WRITTEN BY LINCOLN
VALUABLE RELIC OWNED BY THE
STATE OF IOWA.
The Formal and Official Acceptance
by the Great President of His
Second Term as Chief Magistrate of
the American Nation.

Abraham Lincoln was chosen to his
United States in November, 1864.
After the official canvass of the votes,
committee of the two Houses of
Congress was appointed to notify him
of his election, says the Des Moines
Register and Leader The committee
consisted of Lyman Trumbull of Illi-
nois, on the part of the Senate, and
Messrs. James F. Wilson of Iowa and
John F. Dawson of Pennsylvania on
the part of the House. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Wilson was at
that time a member of the House Of
Representatives Waiting upon him
at the Executive Mansion, the commit
tee, by its chairman, notified him of
his election to- a second term. Mr..
Lincoln, in anticipation of this Official
visit, had his acceptance, written by
his own hand, and filling little more
than half a page of old-fashioned let
ter paper, ready for the occasion. He
read as follows:
Having served four years in the
depths of great and yet unended,
national peril, can view this call to
a second term in nowise more flatter-
ing to myself than as an expression
of the public judgment that | may bet
ter finish difficult work, in which |
have labored from the first. than could
any one less severely schooled to the
task In this view, and with assured
reliance on that Almighty Ruler who
has so graciously sustained us thus
far, and with increased gratitude to
the generous people for their con-
tinued confidence, accept the re-
newed trust, with its yet onerous and
perplexing duties and responsible
ties"
When the official ceremony was
over Mr. Wilson said: with your
permission, Mr. President, l would be
glad to keep that page of manuscript"
You are very welcome to it," replied
Mr.. Lincoln, handing 1t to Mr.. Will
son. This paper, which was Mr.. Lin
coins formal and official acceptance
of his second term as President of
the United States was retained by
Senator Wilson until his death. 1t
has since remained in the possession
of his family. Just now they have
turned it over to Mr.. Charles Aldrich,
by whom 1t has been placed in his
great autograph and photograph col
lection in the Historical Department
of Iowa. While it is not signed, 1t Is
yet manuscript of great value. 1t
would command a price in New York
City or London which would have to
be expressed in four figures. 1t is a
precious memorial of the great mar
tyr President and Of James F, Wilson
of Iowa. We may add that the page
upon which it is written also contains
seven lines, which are in the hand
writing of Mr.. Wilson, explanatory of
10 manuscript.

which is of equally great Importance is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever

! GERMANY WILL SEND
MINISTER TO CUBA

Berlin, Oct 1.-THE cabinet has de-
cided to establish a German legation
at Havana The reasons appear large
" commercial. Although the Cuoan-
German trade cannot be called extern
sive, yet with the German steamship
interests it is regarded as sufficient
to warrant a diplomatic representa-
ton of equal rank with the United
States and Great Britain. A minister
it is held, is likely to receive more
ready hearing by the Cuban admins
tratiOn than a consuI-genera Be-
sides it is understood Cuba would be
pleased to have as many foreign
ministers at the insular capitol as
may be possible because it tends to in
crease the importance OF the govern
ment in the eys OF Europe and also
in the view of the Cubans.
