been east and 233 were necessary for
choice. Only 1 y votes were needed
to make a nomination. 1t is related
that the wigwam became as still as
church, and every one leaned forward
to see whose voice would break the
spell. Before the lapse of minute
David K. Carter sprang upon his chair
and reported a change of four Ohio
votes from Chase to Lincoln. Then
delegation after delegation changed its
vote to the victor amid a tumult OF
cheers, and finally Mr. Evarts, speaking
for New York and for Seward, moved
to make the nomination unanimous. In
the afternoon the convention completed
it's work by nominating Hannibal Ham
lin of Maine for vice president.
With the Chicago convention began
the personal association between Lin
coin and Ashmun that has resulted in
the present ownership in this city of
several highly valuable Lincoln relics.
These are in the possession of Mr.. Ash,

About the year 1907 William Penn
became heavily involved in a lawsuit,
and the author of recent biography,
entitled "Quaker and Courier says
that he was greatly in fear-under the
laws of the day-of being arrested.
Many noble personages were in the
same plight, but no other, it is believed,
resorted to Penn S expedient in meet
ing the situation.
In the door of his London house he
had peeping- hole made through which
he could see any person who came TO
him. A creditor one day sent in his
name, and, having been made to wait
more than a reasonable time, knocked
for the servant and asked him:
viii not your master see met"
''Friend, he has seen thee, replied
the servant, calmly, "and does not like
the looks of thee. Youth Com
panion.

which he made at the request of Mr..
Ashmun, as is proved by personal
note which he sent to Mr.. Ashmun,
with the two letters; note written
by Lincoln to Mr.. Ashmun, explaining
that his Christian name was "Abra-
ham, and not "Abram." and also
what was without doubt the last bit
of writing ever done by Lincoln, writ.
ten on the night of his assassination.
Mr.. Ashmun, as chairman of the con-
vention, became also chairman of the
committee that formally notified Mr..
Lincoln of his nomination. He made
his friend and fellowtownsman, Lieut..
Gov. Trask, a member of the commit
tee of notification. They were both
overs six feet in height, and were the
tallest men in the official group, with
the exception of Mr. Lincoln. This
fact called forth Mr.. Lineoln's com.
ment at the close of the ceremonies Of
notification. Reproductions are print
ed herewith of the letter which Lincoln
wrote to Ashmun explaining his Chris
tian name, and also the original of his
letter of acceptance, which he gave to
Ashmun.
The notification committee letter to
Mr.. Lincoln was copied off by him at
Mr.. Ashmun's request, and sent on
to him with the following note, mark.

HIS FRIEND GEO. ASHMl)N
How They Met in Congress---The Convention
of 1860, of Which Ashmun Was Chair.
man---Their Correspondence.

Springfield Republiean.-There are
many men in and near Springfield who
can contribute interesting personal
"reminiscences of Lincoln, men who
were fortunate enough to meet him
or to be near him during some of the
great incidents of his life, but of all
of these probably the only one that
Lincoln himself would recall, if he could
be asked today, would be Congressman
George Ashmun, who rose to a greater
position of political influence and i'm
portanee than any other citizen of
Springfield before or since. Mr.. Ash
mum s political career ended several
wears before Lincoln became a national
figure, but his -brillianey and statesman.
ship had left such an impression up.
on men at Washington that his advice
was often sought, and, even as priv.
ate citizen, the scope of his influence
was great. Doubtless Lincoln first came
1ato contact with Mr.. Ashmun when
both were members of the 30th Con-
gress. Mr.. Ashmun was first elected
to the Goth Congress from the old Con-
recticut valley district, and was re-
elected twice. Mr. Lincoln was mem.
her of the 30th Congress.
When Lincoln came on from Illinois
to attend the first session of the Both
Congress Mr.. Ashmun must have ap-
peared to him to be highly accomplish
ed in congressional experience and par
Eamentary usage. All accounts of Ash
mum agree that he was man of won
derful brilliance of mind and speech
"a trained parliamentarian and the pos
SCISSOR of such pleasing personal char.
acteristics that even in those days OF
intense partisan feeling he made few
personal enemies. He was the friend in
the House and the defender of Daniel
Webster. 1t would have been strange
indeed if the new and awkward con
gresham from Springfield, ILL.,, had moi
looked with admiration and respect up
on his gifted and more experienced col
league from Springfield, Mass. Ac
curate information regarding how close
ly Lincoln and Ashmun came into toucl
while both were congressman is lack
ing, but there can be no doubt that
they came to know each other well and
with respect.
When popular feeling turned against
Webster because of his attitude toware
slavery in Texas Ashmun stoutly de
Tended him in the House and as a re
suit he came to share to a certain ex
tent his great friend s unpopularity
and retired to private life. Lincoln
also left Congress about the same tim,
and there followed period of severa
years when the two men probably heard
little of each other. But during tina
time probably neither had occasion tt
forget the other, for Ashmun was on

Practically the same evidence in

offered in the trial OF Wilson. and

I The deputy district attorney then
changed his tactics and the various
witnesses were called and efforts
made to prove that Mckinney had
conspired TO procure false registra-

fense objected to many of the actions
of the deputy district attorney and
in numerous Instances Mr.. McClin-

LADD WILL INVESTIGATE

Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd
stated this morning that Italians en-
ployed on the construction gang of
the Pennsylvania railroad, west of
Centerville. were purchasing beer
from different members of the gang.
He will investigate the case to ascer-
tain what extent the liquor laws are
being violated. There are about 1000
employees Of the company in camp
west Of Centerville. AS Center town
ship and the odjoining one to the west
are dry, there is a question whether
the law is not being violated. So long
as the Italians confine the sale of the
liquor to members OF their camp 1t is
not probable that any arrests will be
made. The Italians club together
and have a representative purchase
the wet goods. 1t is then prorated
among the gang.

HUNTING A R0BBER
Local Police Want Man Re-
quested by the KitcheIl
Authorities.
TWO PLACES BURGLARIZED

A request has been received by the
local police from Kitchel station to
place Joseph Wallace under arrest on
suspicion of having robbed the store
of Earl Parks at Kitchell Sunday
morning. The police received word
Sunday evening but have kept the mat
ter quiet until the present as their
search for Wallace in this vicinity has
proven fruitless. 1t is believed, how
ever that he came to this city and
made his escape.
Sunday morning when Mr. Parks
went to his store he found that a win
dow had been forced and different
drawers tampered with. The thief
secured little. however, with the ex-
ception of five cent cigar slot ma
chine which he carried from the store
and broke into. securing nickels to the
total value of about $40.
The Kitchell authorities telephoned
for the New Paris bloodhounds and
they were brought to Kitchell in an
automobile. The thief was barefooted
and as the floors were oiled it was
comparatively easy for the dogs to
tarck him. The dogs went to Wal.
lace's house. Wallace was not at
home and the Kitchell authorities were
informed that he had gone to Rich
mond. Since the time of the robbery
he has not returned to the place Sew.
eral days ago a farmer living near
Kitchell was robbed of 500. the THE!
breaking into the house. Wallace is
also suspected of having performed
that job.
