Lincoln aad Taft.

During the first nine months Of 1884 all
the anti-administration republicans in the
United States were sure that Abraham
Lincoln could not be reelected president.
The opposition TO Lncoln's renomina>
tion was as strong and well organized az
the opposition to Taft's denomination.
His own cabinet was disioyai Salmon p.
Chase. his secretary OF the treasury. was
intriguing for the presidency. The western
radicals wanted Fremont. precisely as
the western radicals today are screaming
for Roosevelt. Thad Stevens. who was
the republican leader OF the house, was
strongly opposed to Lincoln. Greeley.
Wade and Davis were against him be-
cause they believed he would be defeated
and that the election Of democratic
president would mean national disaster.
Wendell Philips wanted q statesman
and patriot in place Of Lincoln.
The New York Herald had suggested
Grants nomination and there was O.
strong sentiment IN favor OF the hero Of
vicksburg. A mass meeting Of the Ere
mont faction Of Hncoln's opponents was

Baltimore convention. Its attitude toward
Lincoln was similar to the attitude Of the
Roosevelt progressive republicans
toward Taft.
Even after Lincoln was renominated
his campaign managers regarded defeat
as probable. Lincoln himself shared their
fears. As late as August .. iss4 he gave
sealed memorandum to Secretary
welles. which read a. follows:
This morning. as for some days past,
n seems exceedingly probable that this
administration win not be reelected.
Then II viii be my duty 10 eo-opsrAss
