Caused Lincoln's Nomination.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Hitherto un-
published incidents concerning the
politics which gave Abraham Lincoln
the Republican nomination for the
presidency the first time were told
here to-day in an address before the
Hamilton club by Addison G. Proc
tor, of st. Joseph, Mich, who be-
lieves himself the only surviving
member of the famous '"splitrail"
convention.
Mr.. Proctor gave to one man, Cas-
sius M. Clay of Kentucky, the credit
for forcing the nomination Of Lin
coin out of a chaotic, disorganized
opposition to the regular candidate
for the nomination, William H. Sew
ard, of New York.
"When the convention opened
said Mr.. Proctor, "Mr. Stewards in
terests were in the hands of Thurlow
Weed and were we'll organized. The
opposition Of Horace Greedy was the
dominant figure, but was without or
ganization or community of desire.
1--WE were discussing the matter in
the old Briggs house in Chicago
when Mr.. Clay and his mountain men
from western Virginia, Tennessee
and kentucky arrived. "'We are on
the eve of a great civil war; began
Mr.. Clay, but we of Kansas were
used to strong words and smiled.
The mountaineer looked at us stern
ly and continued:
"'We know what your platform
plans are and I am here to say that
if candidate is nominated on that
platform the South will make an at
tempt to dissolve the Union.
1T makes a great difference to
you whom you nominate,' thundered
on the tall Kentuckian, and it makes
a much more vital difference to us.
Our homes and all we possess are in
peril. We demand of you a candi-
date who will inspire our courage
and confidence.
"'We call upon you to nominate
Abraham Lincoln, who knows us and
who knows our aspirations. Give us
Lincoln and we will unite the
strength of our union sentiment with
the Union army and bring success to
your legions.'
That speech, said Mr.. Porter, caus-
ed Lincoln's nomination.

Carlisle Fitting School.

The local board of control of the
Carlisle Fitting School held meet
ing Monday afternoon, at which
Headmaster Guilds made a report Of
the affairs of the institution for the
past session. The report was es-
pecially favorable, all things consid-
cred, and a number of plans for the
Improvement of the school were dis
cussed.
The most important matter con-
sidered was the building of new
>dormitory, as it was the opinion of
all that a large brick dormitory was
a prime necessity. 1t must be built
if the school is to continue to grow
and prosper, and in the near future
the matter of raising funds for the
erection of the dormitory will take
definite shape. The school is a fine
asset to Bamberg in business way,
and looking at it from the mere stand
point of dollars and cents, the busi-
ness men and citizens of Bamberg
could make no better investment than
subscribing \liberally for the erec-
ton of dormitory which would ac-
commodate $50 boarders. We can
get them if We have the facilities,
but we can't get them without. The
proposition resolves itself into this:
We must build the dormitory, that's
all.
