AS the campaign progressed Lincoln
began to trail Douglas, whose sup
porters with their bands and torch
light professions in the leading cities
of the state were making a powerful
impression upon the electorate. Incl
IDENTIFY, Douglas had another powerful
ally in his beautiful young wife,
grandniece of Dolly Madison, whose
mere presence gained votes for her
husband" Sometimes at the end Of
Douglas meeting Lincoln would rise
and announce when and where he
would make his reply. Sometimes
dodgers of the Lincoln meeting would
be handed out to the Douglas crowd as
it dispersed.
Finally Lincoln decided to challenge
Douglas to joint debate and on July
"a, 1858, he wrote note from Chicago
to Douglas suggesting that they divide
the time and address the same audi
ences during the campaign. Douglas
did not want to debate with Lincoln,
for, from the speeches Lincoln had al
ready made in reply to his, he realized
the strength of Honest Abe's" logic.
But to refuse might lose the election,
so he agreed. Nor did Lincoln's friends
view the idea with any particular en-
thusiasm. True, Lincoln had met and
skillfully refuted all of Douglas argu-
ments, but they were fearful that in a
joint debate in which the voters would
have a chance to see the two men side
by side their candidate would show to
but poor advantage when compared to
the brilliant Douglas.
However, the arrangements were
made, according to Douglas terms, for
seven debates, one in each of the seven
congressional districts Douglas was
to speak one hour at the first, Lincoln
to reply for an hour and half and
Douglas to close with a half-hour
rebuttal. At the second Lincoln was
to have the opening and closing
speeches and so on alternately and
although this arrangement gave Dou-
glas the advantage of four openings
and closings to Lincoln's three, Lin
coin agreed to the terms, for as he
said humorously, "My consenting to it
was not wholly unselfish, for sus-
pected, if it were understood that the
judge was entirely done, you Demo
Gratis would leave and not hear me
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-08-10

but by giving him the close, | felt con-
fident you would stay for the fun of
hearing him skin me-"
The debates were held as follows:
Ottawa, LaSalle county, August 81,
1858; Freeport, Stephenson county,
August 81; JonesbOro, Union county,
September 10; Charleston, Coles coun-
ty, September -; Galesburg, Knox
county, October Z; Quincy, Adams
county, October Is, and Alton, Madi-
son county, October 10.
AS the debates progressed it soon
became apparent how groundless were
the fears of Lincoln's friends that he
could not hold his own with the Little
Giant" The humor which had made
Honest Abe such favorite when he
was riding the circuit was used time
and again with telling effect against
his opponent. On one occasion, after
Douglas had thrilled and swayed his
down amid storm of applause, Lin
coin rose, and drawing himself to his
full height, slowly took off his coat, a
gesture which in the pioneer settle
ments meant business. Handing it to
some of his friends, he said, Here,
boys! Hold my raiment while | go in
and stone Stephen! Amid a gale of
laughter from those people who knew
their Bible, he did "stone Stephen
with facts!
Long before the debates were over
it was apparent to all who heard them
that for once Douglas had met his
match. Through all the windings and
turnings of the debates, there shOne
forth the fundamental fact that Douglas
was the disciple of expediency and of
trimming" and that Lincoln was the
exponent Of protest against wrong and
the proponent of the right At the Sec
Ond debate, the one at Freeport,
Douglas sealed his political fate. Lin
coin forced Douglas to bubble on the
effect of the Dread Scott decision and
the South labeled him a double
dealer" whom it could not trust. Al
though Douglas eventually won the
election to the senate, he had killed
his chances for the Presidency in 1860.
Lincoln had lost the lesser prize in
1858, but he won the greater one two
years later. One of the things which
helped him do it was his part in the
historic Lincoln-Douglas debates, which
led some to prophesy even then that
they had sounded the death knell Of
slavery and paved the way for the
election of Lincoln to the Presidency
of the United States"

BROUTHERS WAS
MIGHTY HITTER
Helped Detroit Win It's First
World Title.

They had 'em in the early periods
of the game-hard hitting, long dis
lance and powerful batsmen-for the
home-run hitter is not entirely prod
uct of today. Dan Brouthers, Sam
Thompson, Roger Connor, Ed Dele
hanty, Buck Freeman, Gavvey Cravath
were mighty batsmen who could hit
the unleavened ball as hard as any
batsman since their generation.
Brouthers was one of the three
hardest hitting first sackers the game
ever had. 1t was Big Dan, Dave Orr
and Pop Arson, trio of noble bats
men who hit .345 or better during
their entire careers. Brouthers fin
ished his career of II years in the big
stuff with a lifetime batting average
of .34S. He holds a record of hitting
three homers in a single game.
With the Troy club in 1879, BrOuth-
ers, who was over six feet in height
and weighed go, in running to second
fell on McGlynn, the guardian of the
sack. The impact and fall that fol-
lowed the collision was so terrific that
McGIynn died within week from the
injuries. Big Dan quit the game for
two years. In 1881 the Buffalo Ma
tionals induced him to sign a contract.
During the five years with the club
BrOutherS won nationwide fame be-
cause of his terrific hitting. 1t was
Brouthers, Rowe, White and Richard
son who formed the Big Four that be-
came so famous the country over.
1t was the big Four" with the adj
ditiOn of Sam Thompson, that gave
the Detroit club its first pennant, also
worlds championship in 1887.
Brouthers was a fast man on the base
lines. In eight of his playing years he
scored 100 or more runs each
year. His average runs for the II
years stood .091 a game In 10 out of
the IL years he batted 300 or better.
In 1904, at the age of forty-nine,
Dan was playing first for the Pough-
keepsie club of the Hudson River
league. In a game against the Sau-
gertieS club he made two homers and
four singles in six times up. 1t was
estimated that one of the homers trav-
eled 800 feet by actual measurement.
