Journed," the Union Lacquer said:
Democratic leaders Of the present
day are very fond of eulogizing Abra-
ham Lincoln and trying to make the
public believe they are doing to- day
what Lincoln would have done. 1t is
very interesting, therefore, in view of
the above letter, to know what Lincoln
did in d similar case
ION June 20, 1864, according to Nico-
lay and Hays Life of Abraham Lin
coin. President Lincoln called the
postmaster of Philadelphia before him.
President Lincoln said that complaint
had been made that he the postmas-
teri was using his power and influence
against William d. Kelley. candidate
for Congress. and that he wished the
postmaster to know this action was
contrary to Lincolns wishes. After
reciting the facts in the case, Presi-
dent Lincoln said:
My wish is that you will do lust as
You sec fit with your own suffrage in
the case and not constrain any of your
subordinates to do other than as he
thinks fit with his"
