Wayne MacVeagh Publishes
RecOllectiOns of Dedication

EX-ATTORNEY GENERAL WAYNE

that is clustered around Lincoln's i'm

stances brought him into frequent and
intimate intercourse with Lincoln n
several members of his cabinet. He

burg. n was one of the few who in
stantly recognized the greatness of Lin
coins utterance.
Mr.. Lincoln had asked Mr.. MacVeagh
to go with him to Gettysburg and to be
his guest on the train. In the course of
his description of the trip he tells the
following characteristic story:
"At Baltimore a baggage a In

tered a deep cut on the line of the rail-
way the baggage car was even darker
than usual, and, of course, the noise of
the train was greater. Mr.. Lincoln, at
the head of the table, at once said that
the situation reminded him of a friend
of his in southern Illinois who, riding
over a corduroy road, where the logs
were not sufficiently close together.
was frightened by a thunderstorm. In
the glimpses OF light afforded by the
lightning his horse would endeavor to
reach another log. but too frequently
missed it, and fell with his rider. AS
a result of several such mishaps the
traveller, although not accustomed to
prayer. thought that the time had
come to address his Maker, and said:

well, 1t would suit me much better IL

his story, the train passed into the

and much less noise. Most stories are
old, and this may have been heard be-
fore, but l had never heard 1t, nor
have l heard it since"
Mr.. Macveagh goes on to describe
the arrival of the party at Gettysburg
and the speechmaking which followed
a screnade, the speakers being Secre-
tary Seward, Colonel Forney, of Phila-
delphia, and himself. This was fol-
lowed by a reception at the house of
David Wills, where Mr.. Lincoln vas
staying, and the President-Mr. Mac
Veagh records-"greatly enjoyed my
account of the speeches of Mr.. Seward
and Colonel Forney. soon afterward
he said to me that he vas about to
withdraw because he wished to con-
slider further the few words he was ex-
pected to say the next day" The cere-
monies of the following day are de-
scribed briefly. Mr.. Macyeagh record
ing his judgment that "the address OF
Mr.. Everett seemed to me then, as 1t
has whenever l have read it since,
perfectly adapted to the occasion, and
exactly what such an grafton should
be-" He continues:
"At its close, as l remember. there
was a short interval of music, and
then Mr.. Lincoln was presented, as
only to accept. in a few formal words,
the cemetery in behalf of the nation.
AS he came forward he seemed to me,
and I was sitting near to him, visibly
to dominate the scene and while over
his plain and rugged countenance APP
peared to settle a great melancholy. it
was somehow lightened as by a great
hope. As he began to speak / instinct-
lively felt that the occasion was taking
on a new grandeur, as of a great mo-
ment in history, and then there fol-
lowed, in slow and very impressive and
far-reaching utterance. the words with
which the whole world has long been
familiar. AS each word was spoken
it appeared to me so clearly fraught
with a message not only for us of his
day, but for the untold generations of
men, that before he concluded / found
myself possessed of a reverential awe
for its complete justification of the
great war he was conducting. as If

"And now comes the only inexplic-
able part of this statement continued
Mr.. MacVeagh. Il waited until the
distinguished guests who wished to do
sc had spoken to him, and then l said
to him with great earnestness, You
nave made an immortal address.
To which he quickly replied, oh. you
must not say that. You must not be
extravagant about it,"
Later, on the train on the way home,
Mr.. MacVeagh had another CONVERSE
ZION with Lincoln and repeated his
Judgment of the speech, telling him that
the words would live with the lands
language" To this Lincoln answered.
You are more extravagant than ever,

The author of these recollections adds:
