Lincoln's troubles over patronage are
too familiar a chapter in political his
tory to afford anything new. but he
was believer in rewarding his friends.
Among his first diplomatic appoint
ments was that of Norman B. Judd,
who had placed him in nomination at
Chicago, to be minister to Berlin. Judd
was one OF the five anti-Nebraska
democrats in the legislature who had
refused to join with the wkig members
in electing Lincoln senator. the conse-
quence of which was the election of
Lyman Trumbull. But he afterward be-
came thorough paced republican and
was one of Lincoln's most effective
supporters.
Some of Lincoln's most serious trou-
bles came from the deals David Davis
had maize for him. Davis never ceased
to be politician. even after he was
elevated to the Supreme bench.
Lincoln's other Illinois friends while
recognizing the Importance of keeping
political bargains. were distressed al
the result. Among these was Joseph
Medill, who was especially opposed to
Simon Cameron as a member of the
cabinet. There is in existence a very
vigorous letter of Mr.. Medilrs on the
conduct of the war. denouncing espe-
ciaily the venality OF the army con
tractors. Gen. Sherman never used more
vigorous language on this subject than
did the Chicago editor

he took a much livelier interest in the
democratic nomination and platform
than in his own party's action. One OF
Lincoln's closest friends in the ante
war period was Gen. James w. Single
ton. who, at one time. was a very pic
turesque member of Congress. Single
tons extreme partisanship never in
terfered with their friendship.
Gen. Singleton was so violently rad1-
cal that he opposed the nomination OF
Mcclellan in the interest of Vallan-
had a hand in framing the platform
which declared the war to be a failure.
This was in line with Lincoln's view
that if the opposition party could be
induced to take extreme ground there
would be much better prospect of
drawing to his own support the loyal
people of the country.
The atmosphere of the Chicago con-
vention which nominated Mcclellan
was violent enough to encourage this
expectation. 1t was at public meet
ing during this convention that the
genial Sunset Cox. then member of
Congress from Ohio. declared: "Abra-
ham Lincoln has deluged the country
with blood. created debt of $4,000
100000. and sacrificed two million hu-
man lives. At the November election

Lincoln himself had some experience
in having his enemies not exactly make
a platform for him, yet seek to commit
him to what at the time appeared to
be untena BILE ground in advance of pub
lie sentiment Not all the brilliant men
among the Illinois republicans who
took part in the organizat ton of the
party were for Lincoln. Some of them
were pronounced partisans of Seward.
and were as active in working for the
nomination of the New Yorker as were
Joseph Medill and his group in quietly
and almost secretly paving the way for
Lincolns nomination.
Among Stewards supporters was Long
John Wentworth. at various times a
picturesque and vociferous member or
Congress. physically a giant. political
ly intoierant and overbearing, but al
ways a conspicuous figure. He was
mayor of Chicago in 1860.
After Lincolns nomination his Illi-
nois friends became alarmed at the
apathy of Stewards followers. Stewards
own attitude was not unlike that taken
by Roscoe Conkling after Garfeld's
nomination. When Thurlow Weed, his
political manager. was appealed to. his
retort was: You have nominated your
man: now elect him"
subsequently,. however, Seward greed
to take the stump and to speak in Chi
cago. When he arrived he was well
coined by Mayor Wentworth in a radi
cal abolition speech. Long John" told
his intimate friends how Seward read
his own speech to him the night be-
fore it's delivery. and how, at his sug
geston. interlineations of a radical
character were made. all tending to
commit the republican party to aboli
ton. This was far in advance of the
position it had then taken.
According to Long john, they ex-
pected that this radicalism would cause
Lincolns defeat, and would pave the
way for Stewards nomination four
years later. when the sentiment OF the
country would be sufficiently advanced
to insure the election of the republican
candidate on that platform. But it was
Lincoln himself who shaped the senti-
ment of the country in the campaign
of 1860 and not Seward
