The above are fac-slmiles of the
tickets voted in Indiana at the presi-
Dental election in November, 1860.
At that time there were only eleven
congressional districts; and congress-
men, state officers and county officers
were elected in October, Indiana.
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa held
state elections in October at that
time and in those states great. Sight
was made as they had all been reliably
democratic before the organization of
the republican party. They all gave
republican majorities in October thus
foreshadowing the election OF Lincoln
and Hamlin.
Most of the electors on both these
tickets are dead, but Will Cumback,
who headed the republican ticket as
eiector at large, is still living, is
strong and vigorous and as staunch a
republican as when he cast his vote
for Abraham Lincoln in the electoral
college.
These tickets have been kept by J..
F. Ldngenbaugn forty-four years and
he prizes them as among the most
precious of his relics.
