LlNCOLN'S QUESTION.
II StiIIed the Storm of Applause For
His Opponent, Douglas.

u StIlled the storm OF applause For
His Opponent, Douglas.
Professor James T. McLeary of
Mankato, Mimi, who for fourteen
years represented a district of his
state in congress, told this Lincoln
story:
"a friend of mine told me that when
a boy he attended with his father one
Of the famous Lincoln-Douglas de-
bates in Illinois. My friends father
was a Lincoln man, but the place in
which that particular debate took
place was a Douglas stronghold.
Douglas spoke first, and he was
frequently interrupted by vociferous
applause. The cheering and the hand
clapping at the end lasted four or five
minutes. When Lincoln was intro
duced the crowd broke out into cheers
for Douglas and kept it up for several
minutes. Lincoln meanwhile waited
patiently.
when at length the enthusiasm had
subsidized Lincoln extended his long
right arm for silence. When he had
partly got this he said in an impress
sive tone, What an orator Judge
DOuSldS Is.
This unexpected tribute TO their
friend set the audience wild with en-
thusiasm. When this applause had
run its course Lincoln, extending his
hand again. this time obtained silence
more easily.
"'What fine presence Judge Dou-
las has, exclaimed the speaker ear
nestly Again tumultuous applause fol-
lowed the tribute.
How well rounded his sentences
are! How well chosen his language
Isl How apt his illustrations areP
ending UP with, What a splendid man
Judge Douglas is"
''Then when the audience had again
become silent at bis call Lincoln lean
ed forward and said:
"'And now, my cOuntrymen, how
many Of you can tell me one thing
Judge Douglas saidF
"aIy friend told me he searched his
own heart for an answer end found
none Afferward he asked his father
If he could remember anything Judge
Douglas had said. and the latter re-
membered practically nothing. But
my friend said to me impressiveIy.
