Abraham Lincoin's visit to Quincy
at the time of his memorable debate
there with Stephen A. Douglas is well
described by Carl Schurtz in his rem

tion Of Mr.. Lincoln Is given in Mr..
Schurtz' book:
One of the appointments called me
to Quincy, on the day when one of
the great debates between Lincoln
and Douglas was to take place there.
and on that occasion / was to meet
Abraham Lincoln myself. On the
evening before the day of the debate,
/ was on a RAILROAD train bound for
Quincy. The car in which l travelled
was full of men who discussed the
absorbing question with great ANNA
ton. A member Of the republican
state committee accompanied me and
sat by my side.
All at once, after the train had left
a way station, l observed great
commotion among my fellow-passen-
gers. many Of whom jumped from
their seats and pressed eagerly
around tall man who had just en-
tered the car. They addressed him
in the most familiar style:
"Hello Abe! How are your and so
on. And he responded IN the same
manner.
Good evening, Ben, How are you,
Joe? Glad to see you Dick!" and
there was much laughter at some
things he said. which in the confusion
of voices I could not understand.

the committeeman, there's Lincoln

crowd and introduced me to Abraham

The present Steele-Scott congress
sional contest in the Eleventh dis
trict, at Sioux City, is the tenth con-
gressional contest in 1owa's history.
The first and In many respects the
most interesting of these was that of
Daniel F. Miller, whig, against Will
liam Thompson, democrat, In the
first congressional district. in 1S48.
The contest, in fact the election,
hinged upon. the Mormon vote In
Kanesyille, now Council Bluffs. Pot
tawattamie county not having then
been organized, Kanesville was in
tbe Monroe county election district
nv virtue of an old law attaching
urorganized territory due west of the
county line. At least. the wings
who obtained Monroe county's sane
ton for the election to be held.
thought it was due west. But after
the election, the friends Of Thomp-
son declared the GAINESVILLE vote
could not be counted as kanesville
was north of Monroe and west OF
Marion. The democrats claimed this
because the Mormons voted almost
unanimously for Miller.
when the Kanesville poll book
disappeared from the Office Of the
clerk of Monroe county a great hub
hub was raised. ]. G. Hall, law
PARTNER of Thompson, appears to
have taken the poll book, although
he declares it was placed in his
saddle-bags.
The house OF representatives, after
long and bitter contest, declared
there had been no election in the
district and ordered a special cleo
tion held. Miller was elected in this
special election, having majority OF
662 votes over Thompson.

melancholy eyes, is now familiar to
every American by numberless pic

looked even more haggard and care

in whiskers.
T.. On his head he wore somewhat
battered stove pipe hat. His neck
emerged long and sinewy from
white collar turned down over his
thin black necktie. His lank. unga1n-
ly body was clad in rusty black
dress coat with sleeves that should
have been longer, but his arms ap.
peared so long that the sleeves OF
store coat could hardly be expected to
cover them all the way down to the
wrists. His black trousers, too, per-
mitted very full view Of his large
feet. On his left arm he carried
gray wooden shawl. which evidently
served him for an overcoat In chilly
weather. His left hand held a cotton
umbrella Of the bullying kind, and al
so black satchel that bore the marks
Of long and hard usage. His right
hand he had kept free for handshak-

everybody in the car seemed to DO

and in the west several public men OF
rough appearance, but none whose
looks seemed quite SO uncouth, not to
say grotesque. as Lincoln's.
When we arrived in Quincy we
found large number Of friends
waiting for him and there was much
handshaking and many familiar salu-
tations. Then they got him into a
carriage which was much against his
wish, for he said he would prefer to
"foot 1t to Browning's" an old friends
house where he was to have supper
and quiet night.
