It is said he was a homely

looked like it had been old for a

very much taller than he really
was, but was essentially a part
of that incomprehensible entity
called Lincoln.
He knew the people better
than anybody, their modes of
thought and their general La
bility To be misled by high
sounding phrase and misty
statements. He had the rare
faculty of illustrating a great
principle by things within the
ordinary experiences of men and
by parallels drawn from the
Commonest affairs of life. Let
me give an instance.
As is we'll known, there basal
ways been a conflict between the
followers of Jefferson and those
of Hamilton in what was called
their theories concerning the ma
ture and powers of the govern
ment of this country. Jefferson
was partial to a diffusive govern
ment while it is certain Hamil-
ton was in favor of a strong
central government. The con-
between those two schools
has been steadily maintained
since the inception of the gov
eminent itself. | heard Mr..
The Falls City tribune., 1909-02-12

a good deal of unpalatable mer-
riment.
Mr.. Lincoln was not careful
or particular about his clothes,
nor whether they conformed to
the latest fashion, but while
they appeared, without over
taxing the imagination, to have
been made for somebody else,
they were still about as good,
generally speaking, as thestog-
gerry of his associates. There
was nothing of the "dude"about
him, nor was there the slightest
indication in his popularity of
dress, that it was the effect of
affectation or design to attract
attention. 1t was always the
same, very new or all showing
service in about the same de
gree, differing from that related
of h. Wilfer, whom his great
biographer said, had but one
ambition in life, and that was
to have an entirely new suit of
clothes throughout at one and
the same time from boots to
hat, but had never been able to
achieve it.
He wore a very tall hat, al
The Falls City tribune., 1909-02-12

Lincoln in a verylterse way H.
lustrate the difference between
these two theories. He said
that Hamilton believed it was
necessary to have a head as
well as a tail to anything.
While the theory of Jefferson
was all tail and no head. Ham
ilton believed in a government
resulting from a union of the
states and that said resultant
government was supreme and
formed the head while the states
formed the office of tail, so to
speak. Jefferson. believed that
ultimate government belonged
to the states, and thereby pro
viding a multitude Of tails and
no head.
1t was a crude and homely
way of putting the case,
but it was the whole case in a
nut she'll. The dullest mind
could comprehend it easily when
put in that way, and might not
if put in any other way. The
idea conveyed was that without
a head the government would
be a mere rope of sand to fall
to pieces of its own weight in

the same year he began the
practice at Springfield where
he afterwards passed the whole
of his professional life. It is
said in a recent publication that
has come under my observation,
that he did not wake up to find
himself famous as a lawyer, or
words of that import. 1t is not
at all clear what the writer Of

allowing irrelevant and imma-
terial questions to be asked, es.
pecially when the answers were
not likely to prejudice the rights
of his client. 1t was this: that
constant or frequent objections
were likely to create a prejudice
in the minds of jurors, leading
them to think that the Director
was trying to hide something
from them, and whether t he
jurors knew it or not, that sus-
picion might at a critical stage
of their deliberations, initiate
against the interest of that side.
AS an advocate | don't think
he had an equal anywhere. He
was all powerful with a Jury,
and only he knew, if the fact
was known at all, why that was
so. That he could sway men
almost as he pleased was owing
to the fact that he was a com

sions, instinctively knowing all
the springs of action common to
men, and was able to call them
into play whenever it suited his
purpose to do so. And all that,
