present convention to emphasize the
span Of time since then and the i'm
portance Of the event. Yet all have
happened within the lifetime OF q
great many persons now Lying. This
is illustrated forcefully by the large
number Of Fremont voters" present
in the convention and the presence Of
the minister who delivered the inyo-
cation at the historic first convention.
Perhaps the most striking thing, how
ever, is the presence Of the man who
proposed Abraham Lincoln for the
vice presidential nomination on the
ticket with Fremont and his recalling
the fact that Lincoln was turned down
because unknown. Lincoln had been
in Congress as a Wing but it was not
until two years later that his famous
debates with Douglass took place,
which made his name and fame before
the people and won for him the nom
ination in 1860.
Fremont was the party's first pres
idential candidate, but Lincoln was
its first president and consequently
much more is being said at the pres
ent convention about Lincoln than
about Fremont. And this is as it
should be. It was Lincolns who
shaped tho issues that won for the
party its first victory. 1t was under
the banner Of Lincoln that the party
achieved victory the second time,
while the country was in the throes
of civil war. 1t was Lincoln who
guided the nation through the most
critical period Of its history and
brought the warning sections togeth.
er. 1t was the example Of the great
emancipator that helped 80 much to
heal the wounds left by the breach
and it was careful adherence to his
doctrines that won for the party SO
many subsequent victories. Only fifty
years ago-and yet what u vast
amount Of history has been made
since that day, how the sisterhood Of
states and even the nations bound
aries have increased, how the geog-
rapby Of the world has changed
