BY HENRY s. PowARs.

I distinctly recall the birth of the
republican party in Rock Island. 1t
was in 1855, at the beginning of
the presidential campaign. The Mis-
souri, compromise had just been re-
pealed through the passage by con-
gress of the Kansas and Nebraska
bill, advocated by Stephen A. Doug
las. The Introduction of slavery in
Kansas and Nebraska, at the option
of the people, had led to many
clashes between the opposing fac
tions and excitement was intense all
over the country.
A Fremont rally was arranged for
here. Cassius NJ. Clay, the Ken
lucky abolitionist, and Salmon P.
Chase, then serving as governor of
Ohio, having been elected by an IN
precedented majority, were the
speakers. Both were guests, while
in the city. of my grandfather. John
G. Powars, at his home N the west
end Of the city.
Two meetings were held at the
court house, both largely attended.
The afternoon meeting was address
ed by Clay, who declared that the
repeal OF the Missouri compromise
was an attempt of the South to ex-
tend the domain of slavery through
out the north. A reply TO Clay was
attempted by young Iowa lawyer,
who defended the position of Doug
las. After he was through Clay
again took the floor and literally

who got into an argument with an
abolitionist at Springfield and finally
shot him with a pistol, infiicting
serious wound, but one which did
not result fatally, as I recall it. The
police got after Mcdonald and he hid
in a lumber pile till the storm blew
over When our train pulled out
for home he was on board. and he
was never arrested.

Joseph Knox. the Rock Island at
torney, who had been a Douglas man
up to this time, spoke, publicly an
nouncing his conversion to the new
political faith. That evening Chase
eand Owen Lovejoy, well known
Illinois abolitionist, spoke. As the
result of these two meetings the To-
cal organization of the republican
party came into being. l was one

hundred of US and we had capes and
torches and were drilled as care
fully as the ordinary military COM
pany is. We used to meet evenings
and go through our evolutions in
Union square, now Spencer square.
A Fremont flag was hoisted there.
The same club was active in both
Lincoln campaigns. In one of them,
1 think it was the first, we went to
Springfield to take part in a rally.
That was the longest trip we ever
made and the procession was the
biggest one I ever saw. The people
of Springfield provided Us with food
