NOV. 28, 1896. LINCOLN’S FIRST NOMINATION “K Little Woman Down on Eighth Street Who Will Be Glad.” McClure’s Magazine for November has an article by Ida M. Tarbell. After narrating the work of the convention the writer says: And while all this went on where was Lincoln? By Friday morning he was tired and depressed, but still eager for. news. One of his friends, the Hon. James C. Conkling, returned early in the day from Chicago and Lincoln soon went around to his law office. “Upon entering,” said Mr. Conkling, Lincoln threw himself upon the office lounge and remarked rather wearily, ‘Weil, I guess I will go back to practicing law. Ashe lay there on the lounge I gave him such information as I had been able to obtain. He was not very sanguine of the result.” But he could not be quiet and soon left Mr. Conkling to join the throng around the telegraph office, where the reports from the convention were coming in. The nominations were being reported, his own among the number Then news came that the balloting had begun. He could not endure to wait for the result. He remembered a commission that his wife had given him that morning and .started across the square to execute it. His errand was done and he was standing in the door of the shop talking; when a shout went ufp‘trom the group at the telegraph oftice. Instantly an excited boy came rushing pell-mell down the stairs of the office, and plunging through the crowd ran across the square shouting “Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Lincoln, you are nominated!” The cry was repeated on all sides. The people came flocking about him half laughing, half crying, ; shaking his hand when they got it and one another’s when they couldn't. For a few minutes, carried away by excitement, Lincoln seemed one of the proud and exultant crowd. Then remembering what it all meant, he said: “My friends, I am glad to receive your congratulations, and as there is a little woman down on Eighth street who will be glad to hear the news, you must excuse me until I inform her.” He slipped away, telegram in hand, his coat tails flying out behind, and strode towards home, only to find when he reached there that his triends were before him, and that the “little woman” already knew the honor which for twenty years and more she had believed and stoutly declared her husband deserved, and which a great multitude of men had sworn to do their best to obtain for him, had at BRIEF MENTION.
