NO one has more clearly stated the

Lincoln stated them, and he had a

that would have turned any weaker

incidents of the trial through which

"Lincoln's fame as statesman aud
as the nations chief executive during
its most crucial period has so overshad-
owed his fame as an orator that his
merits as public speaker have not
been sufficiently emphasized When i:
is remembered that his nomination WAS
directly due to the prominence which
he won upon the stump; that in the
remarkable series of debates he held his
own against one of the most brilliant
orators Am srica has produced; and that

when all these facts are borne in mini,

which he exercised as a speaker.
That his nomination was due TO the
effect that his speeches produced, can
not be disputed When he began his
