Lincoln En,inently Fair.

Gen. Taylor was triumphantly elect
ed, and it became Lincoln's duty, as
whig member of congress from ILL
nois, to recommend certain persons to
fill government Offices in that state,
says Helen Nicolay in st. Nicholas.
He did this after he returned to
Springfield, for his term in congress
ended on Manch 4, 1S49, the day that
Gen. Taylor became president. The
letters that he sent to Washington
when eorwarding.the papers and appli-
cations of people who wished appoint
ment were both characteristic and
amusing; for in his desire not to mis-
lead or to DO injustice to any man,
they were very apt to say more in
favor of the men he did not wish to
see appointed than in recommends
ton of his own particular candidates.
This absolute and impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one of his
strongest traits, governing every &C
tion Of his life. If it had not been for
this, no might possibly have enjoyed
another term In congress, for there
had been talk Of rejecting him. IN

remained faithful to this promise. His
strict keeping of promises caused him
also to lose an appointment from Pres
