of cars onto the track and they
bumped into the one on which he
was working, crushing him to death.
Attorneys W. l.. Read and George
Wambach, who represented the es-
tate, claim that the train crew was
negligent in running the cars onto the
track, which, they say. was used
solely for repairing purposes. Judge
Ollie in making his opening statement
to the jury, said that it would be
shown that Oleson had failed to put
out danger signals as required by the
rules of the company. He maintained
that the crew did nothing but what
they had right to do under the cir

Llncoln's Traducers.

CFHrom why Lincoln Was Not Renom-
mated by Acclamation" in the Century,
In the exalted situation, almost equi-
valent in apotheosis, in which posterity
has placed Washington and Lincoln,
there are few who call to mind the fact
that while the great mass of the people
manifested unbounded devotion to them,
scarcely any other presidents have been
so much traduced and so bitterly assailed
while in office.
As his first term was drawing to a close,
the bitterness and malignity with which
President Lincoln had Deen constantly
assailed reached their climax. Bitter
and relentless as had been the assaults OF
men of the great party directly opposed
to him, their Virulence did not exceed
that of men of his own. One Of the
worst malcontents was in his own cabi-
net Able as he was, the secretary OF the
treasury, in his vaulting ambition to
succeed his chief in the great office,
could not restrain himself from such car
ping criticism. malevolent fault finding,
and finally, antagonism, as to render
his position intoerable both to the pres
ident and to himself. This antagonism
to President Lincoln finally materialized
in an organization among Republicans to
defeat him for denomination.
