LINCOLN AND GARFIELD TO FIRST VOTERS.

Abraham Lincoln, June 22, 1848: “Young men get together and form a Rough and Ready Club. * * * Let every one play the part he can play brst; some speak, some sing, and all holler. • * * Don’t fail to do this.” James A. Garfield, October 11, 1879: “Let me give you this one word of advice, as you are about to pitch your tent in one of the great political camps. Your life is full and buoyant with hope now, find I beg you, when you pitch your tent, pitch it among the living and not among the dead.”
