NOMINATION OF LINCOLN

PART TAKEX BY INDIANA IX XII E FAMOl'S COXVnXTIOX OF 1SCO. According to the LAte General Veatcli This State Warn lloxdlj Less Loynl Than Illinois. Indiana played an important part In the Republican national convention of 1S60 a part which, timed as it was, when Illinois needed the active help of a powerful ally, gave Abraham Lincoln the presidential nomination. The November number of McClure's Magazine contains an interesting article on the famous convention 'which met in the Wigwam, on the shores of Lake Michigan, over thirjy-slx years ago, giving a peep into the inside workings of that remarkable gathering of Republicans. It devotes most of its space to the work of the Illinois delegation, but credits Indiana with having been the f rst to Join her sister State in the fight for the "rail-splitting" candidate. The inestimable services of Indiana in helpirlg nominate Lincoln, whom she claimed as her own, are not generally known, and I give the following account of her efforts, as related to me by the late UGen. James C. Veatch, a few weeks before his death: "A gentleman named Allen, of VIncennes, and myself were chosen as delegates from the First district to the national convention, which was to meet in Chicago in May. We went under instructions to vote for Bates, of Missouri, in case he stood ony chance of receiving the nomination. Our people were conservative on the question of slavery true Republicans, but not radical, and they feared the advanced ideas of Seward. Allen and I left on a steamboat for St. Louis, where we were to join the Bates men. Our trip was slow and leisurely, and we canvassed the situation pretty thoroughly. It soon developed that neither of us had any idea that Bates would be successful, and I told Allen that my choice was fixed, and that Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, would receive my vote. lie had won my admiration by his remarkable speeches In the Douglas debates, but my acquaintance extended further back than that. It h&d been almost twenty years since I had first seen him, in the campaign of 1S44, when, as an awkward, unknown lawyer, he returned from Illinois to his old home in Spencer country to make a few speeches for his favorite, Henry Clay. At that time I was editing the county paper and one morning I heard it spoken of among the older men that 'Abe' Lincoln was to speak at Rockport that night. The name was slightly familiar and I associated it with a country wag that had lived in the county a number of years before. .That evening a crowd assembled at the coJrthouse and gathered around the large fireplace in each end of the room. In a short time the speaker entered, was introduced to a few and ascended the stand. I was disappointed in him. His appearance was awkward, his voice high and squeaky, and he had none of that extreme dignity which clothed the State orators I had heard. In vain I listened for a Joke or a story. But soon I was struck by his manner of statement. The principal issue was the tariff, even then beaten thin as goldleaf. He placed things in a new light; drjr facts became interesting. For over an hour I listened breathlessly and at its close I thought it the most remarkable speech that I had ever heard, and think so to-day. EFFECT OF THE SPEECH. 'I mentioned this Fpeech to Allen and recurred to the fact that Lincoln's boy hood was spent in southern Indiana. Allen was favorably disposed toward Lincoln and we agreed to use our influence to bring the Indiana delegation into line for him. We reached St. Louis and mingled with the supporters of Bat?s, without revealing our identity, and soon learned that they had no hopes of nominating Bates, merely wishing to place him prominently before the convention, and thu3 secure a Cabinet position. Upon our arrival In Chicago we Immediately sought the Indiana headquar ters and began our efforts In behalf of Lincoln. Most of the district delegates were undetermined and soon expressed a willing ness to support the Illinois man. However, there were two delegates from Indianapo lis one a relative and supporter of Cam eron, of Pennsylvania, and another who supported Chase or McLean who held out for their men. Finally we prevailed upon the Cameron man to refrain from voting. and the other delegate came over to us. 'In company with Illinois delegates we separated into groups and began the cru sade for Lincoln. We sought the headquar ters of Eastern States and asked them: 'How many votes will you give Lincoln? They were willing to vote for an 'available candidate and anxiously inquired of Lin coin's strength. 'Illinois and Indiana solid on the first vote," was our assurance, and they replied that any one could carry the East, and that If Lincoln was the man to carry the West, they were for him. Day and night Indiana and Illinois workrd side by side without resting, and we secured a promise here and an assurance there that told us our cause was gaining, and that the 'Big Giant was the coming man. "Affairs were in this condition when the delegates and the immense crowd gathered in the Wigwam on the opening day of the convention, on May 16. On Wednesday and Thursday the usual routine of convention work was carried out. but it was not n. time cf rest. We had gained some votes in New England, but Virginia and Pennsylvania were uncertain. There was talk of Mc Lean, of the latter State, but Tom Corwln disposed of that with the observation that 'we might as well nominate Moses.' Mc Lioan was over seventy yeaxs or age. Thursday afternoon came and we secured an adjournment without a vote until Fri day. THE MEMORABLE FRIDAY. "That night came the final, almost super human effort to center the opposition on Lincoln, and the morning dawned with a hopeful, almost sanguine feeling among the supporters of Lincoln. At 10 o'clock on Fri day morning the convention reassembled. and the scene presented was inspiring. The Immense hall was densely packed, anticipa tion and suppressed excitement being shown in every face. Above the speaker's stand an opening had been cut in the roof and a watchman was stationed there to herald the news of the nomination to the vast multitude outside. A battery of artillery had been stationed there to boom the tidings of the nomination. The first ballot was taken amidst breathless Interest. Lincoln led all candidates In opposition to Seward. The second ballot showed about ISO for our candidate Pennsylvania had come to the rescue. The third ballot began. Breathlessly we marked that score (I have the figures that I mado In my papers), and Lincoln was within a vote or two of the prize, but had failed. That next moment was overwhelming, when Carter, of Ohio, arose and changed four Votes of that State from Chase to Lincoln. I shall never forget that scene a wild, prolonged, tremendous applause. The watchman on the roof flashed the news to the multitude on the outside. and the cannons boomed, the cheers went up and yet we heard not a sound of the outward demonstration. Th-3 vibration Qt

the cannonading could be felt, but no sound penetrated the pandemonium that reigned within.

'The cheering finally subsided and I made my way to the entrance to see me notables pass out. William Evarts passed arm in arm with Thurlow Weed, and Weed said: 'Seward Is beaten and all Is fcst,' but Evarts replied that he 'hoped not; the outlook may brighten before the election.' " Indiana can rightfully boast of her part in the second great Republican convention. She assisted in securing for the coun try the services of her former citizen, Illlnols's great statesman and the country's most beloved patriot. And yet, had Lincoln not delivered that forgotten speech in his old home in the campaign of 1S4I, things might have resulted otherwise, perhaps less happily for the country. HARDY MASTERSOX. Rockport, Ind., Nov. 20. HOW MENN0NITES VOTED. recullnr HellKloai Sect Whose Mem bers 3Ink.e Good. Citizen. This county is noted for Its peculiar peo ple. A stranger visiting Harrison and Union townships the first time is struck by the quaint appearance of many of the peo ple he meets. Here 11 vo the Mennonltes and Dunkards, both speaking Pennsylvania Dutch- In their dress they would bo no ticed anywhere, tho men wearing broadbrimmed hats, the women a white cap and m . . . A. Ia Donnet similar to tnai worn nv me Quakers. Of the two mentioned, the Mennonltes are the most numerous. Some of their religious ceremonies are quite curious. Your correspondent recently witnessed their celebration of the Lord's supper. At an early hour the people began to come to the place of worship, many from a distance. By 9 o'clock the meeting was fairly under way. The house, a large structure, holding at least GOO people, was full in every part. The brethren and sisters did not sit together, the former occupying the lefthalf of the house, the latter the right There were no cushioned benches, and the sisters were dressed plainly but neatly, each with a white cap, called by them the "prayer covering." These people believe in the practice of honesty, as well as the theory, as was manifested by the large number of outer garments hanging on hooks and nails in the ante-rooms, with no one to watch tnem. ine sacramem was administered to at least 300 persons. The minister, followed by a deacon carrying bread, passed through tho congregation and distributed a small piece to each com munlcant. This was preceded by a few brief remarks warning members who had any ill feeling or enmity against a neigh bor not to take part. While the bread was distributed, the minister repeated passages from the Scripture in a loud voice, frequently admonishing his ilock to keep in the paths of righteousness. Wine was next distributed. One cup, which was replenished as it became empty, was used by all. Each communicant took the cup from tho minister's hand, the brethren being served before the elsters. The last ceremony was that of feet washing, each sex performing this duty for its own. This, the Mennonites believe, is a true sign of humility, teaching that Christ not only washed the feet of tho 'apostles, but that he commanded his followers to do the same. The ceremony lasted over an hour and clor-e attention was paid. Hymns were "siing during all theso exercises. -TJie. large number of small children present was noticeable, it being considered better that the mothers should bring them than stay away themselves. These people, wherever they aro settled. played an important part in the late campaign. Long before tho election many prominent members announced their in tention to go to tho polls to vote. They had generally refrained from voting, but had always been In sympathy with the Re publican party ever since its organization. and could not bo persuaded that the panic of the past few years was caused by the existing gold standard. On the contrary, they believed it to be due to the tampering with the tariff by the Democratic Congress and that in order that the country may again enjoy prosperity it would be neces sary to again place the Republican party at the head of the government. They had always had the namo of being honest and believed that the silver dollar under free and unlimited coinage would be a dishonest dollar and they could not bring themselves down to vote for such a policy. Both parties labored hard on election day to get the vote of these people, but they invaria bly voted tho Republican ticket. In some cases it took considerable urging, however. to get them out. One prominent member In Harrison township who had not voted since the war, being strongly urged to go to the polls, finally yielded, saying, "I will go provided you will never ask me to vote again." Another member did not wish to vote unless tho presiding elder advised him to do so. In the afternoon of election day he drove to the elder's home and being told that if he felt it his duty to vote he (should by all means do so, he went to the polls and cast his ballot. They are a people whose origin is found in the revolutionists of Holland about 1ZZ and are called Mennonltes because of their advocating the doctrines of Menno Simon. Having heard of the great fertility of the American soil a number came over in 16SS, settling mostly In Pennsylvania, near Germantown. Later they began to look for other locations and this county was chosen as one. They call themselves "Defenseless Christians" and their views In this respect coincide with those of the Quakers. Many are rich and their trade is highly valued by the merchants who deal with them. They are prompt in their business dealings and it rarely happens that an account against a juennonue is piacea in mo nanas or a collector. D. Goshen, Ind., Nov. 20. In llnrhor.

THE VOICE OF THE PULPIT

snnaioN di:a ii; ivitii imALitii:s or i:vi:iiy-uay iieligiox. What "Glory" Means. lr Kev. Charles Jainen Wood, Hector of St. John l'plwcopal Church, York, l'a. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghopt. As It was in the bclnninjr. I now and ever chall be, world without end. Amen. Familiar words so familiar that they have perhaps lost for us any clear, large import, or meaning. They are used to sum up or conclude comprehensively di vine service, but they ought also to fcnply the service of man as well as service Of God. I When thought of as divine service alone they loso reasonable value, become vague. at the best suggesting a sentiment of aw which Is good as far as it cues, bclnjr the unconscious outbreathing of what goodness there U In man. But the glory given to God is sorncfhln more than the soft-breathed sigh of piety or the enlarged heart of wonder at Indefinite grandeur. Again, we have. It may be. crude no tions of divine glory, as rays of dazzling light darting in blinding brilliance frora some center, as the chromosphere and photosphere of our sun. We are accustomed to think of glory as a shining light. brilliancy and radiance of material sort. because wo have taken light as the sign and symbol of glory. We have substituted the symbol for the thing symlolized. A moment's reflection shows us that our unexamined fancy will not stand the test of any scrutiny. Jesus describes the eternal glory of God in a way you may not have noticed: "The hour is ccme; glorify thy Son, that Thy Sen may glorify Thee. I have glorified The on the earth: I have finished tho work which Thou gavest me to do. Now. O Father, glorify Thou me with Thine own self, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was." These words do- not seem to express tho popular idea of tho glory of God. We think of that glory as displayed more evi dently In tho skies with constellations and suns. Yet Jesus in speaking of the eter nal glory of God. says nothing of the stellar universe. He is comprehending la one view His life and its culmination on the cross. This He describes as the revelation, or manifestation of the eternal, the uncreated glory of God. Surely this is a strange new glory! What Is its essence? What Is its characteristic? Yet herein is no hidden mystery. For the essence of the life,, the career of Jesus was pre-eminently one of service. Jewels and thornes and palaces and the pomp of soldiery were not His to constitute a glory. Neither art nor song erected for Him the splendor of fame's cenotaphs. His glory was neither material nor Intellectual, but was in the world of will and deed. The glory of God manifested in Jesus Is where we had forgotten to look for It, because it is a moral glory, it was love unselfish and unrestrained. The light inaccessible In which God abldee is His entire holiness. No man-i'.nth. een God at any time because' no xnau is rood enough. To be ablo to see God man must become as righteous as God, To the childish mind this will sound like a poor, pale, gray glory: a grandeur which appeals to no imagination, a splendor too sober to be desired this moral glory of God but were we to know ourselves more deeply we would find that the moral clement is what makes anything desirable la this world. How is it possible for us to say this doxology, "Glory bo to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost," in such a way that the words are fulfilled, and are more the 11d service and insub stantial and shadowy sentiment. If the glory of God, as we see from both the life and death of Jesus, la a moral glory, then it follows that it involves re lation between persons. Implies attitude. Divine service, therefore, has an ethical character as well as tho service of man. Worship means something; giving glory to God is thus found to be a very real act beyond a pious duty and uplifting emotion. What we mean, or what we ought to mean, when we give glory to God Is that through our lives and deeds and words God is seen by all to be glorious; in a word, godliness is manifested to the world. There is no other glory. This , is divino service, service of God. Can we render any real service to God? If we can servo God then it is clear that we can rendeitlllm some real w-riee. That sounds startling, perhaps, but only when we have grown accustomed to using words to which we attached no definite meaning. Yet the apostle speaks of our working together with God. The goodliness and god liness cf nature and man are the glory of Gcd. That glory is fhown forth by the ef forts of men. The result is the doxology of humanity. God wants men to be righteous, to manifest forth His glory, which glory we all goodness, holiness, love, pity, etc. Through tho souls of pood men and women ua through sluicegates of the ocean tido thli glory floods into the world. God dots not need people who at the last Instant of life are sorry for having lived a bad life, which merits punishment, but those rather who, through years of life have striven hard to be generous, gentle and Just. These eouls are they who give glory to God. The theological theory that all we have of good In us, our nature, our soul, comes from God without our dejvrvlr.g any of it, founds religious and devout, but ft has a seamy side. For, if literally true, shall wo blame the footpad, tho burglar, the homicide and murderer? I turn finally to tho more special points of the text. "Glory bo to tho Father." How Fhall wi give It? First, by yielding to Him thlove and obedience we can show to a perfect Father; second, by displaying the character of our divine Father in our own lives. "Glory to the Son." How plve ony real glory to Jesus? Only by personal affection for Him and by becoming like Him. His work was a saving work, and wo give sjlory to Him by continuing His work. AH wi can do to lighten the burdens, the doubts, the griefs, the pains and rrivations of others is giving glory to the Son of God. "Glory to tho Holy Ghost." What Is th moral glory of the Holy Ghost? IX may be said that as Jesus reveals th nature of God in himself, and Is tb.i tbe brightness of the Father's cl- so tfcj Holy Ghost reveals God in lii. outworklnrexternally, if. for the nonce, I may e xpres it thus. The spirit gives life, unifies. Whoa we gi.-e glory to the Holy Ghost we ars furthering concord, harmony and peaco. all that makes for higher life and unity. It ii absurd for a backbiter, a mischief maker, a quarrelsome and unloving person, to say, "Glory be to tho Holy Ghost." His Ufa laughs at hi words. Tho only glory we can render to the hsiy Trinity is a real one, the morrl glory, which is shown forth in life. Then our words are fulfilled in their mewnlnt;. and mea come to see that the ianpiie cf wc
