The pathos OF those votes cast on
fhe battle field, in prison, will touch
III hearts. To many it will recall
those terrible days when our army
vas scattered all through the south.
How fearful they were, that there
might be change OF leaders. Think
What it meant to those men If the
| larty (who in many ways sympathized
with their enemy came into control
at Washington.
4 Not that Mcclellan was not true
and loyal soldier, but the policy of the
! two parties were so entirely different
that the south would have taken on
fresh courage to continue the war.
But Iincoln's own homely sentiment,
Never sw.p horses when you are
crossing a stream" carried the day.
And the fall of Richmond swiftly fol
lowed mis- Inauguration.
