DfSON PHONOGRAPHS and RECORDS 1 OR SALE BY E.R.McClain, M'CONNELLSBURG.PA ittkllll bt&L&A&HAMil& IMl ITU it tAMt mm Lincoln as a Judge of Men. Lincoln was a great politician. He was the most sagacious of all the great leaders of his party in attaining political results, altho a stranger to the common methods of political manipulation. He studied men most intelligently, and he rarely, if ever, erred in assigning a friend to the perlorm ance of a political duty. He alone nominated Andrew Jjhnson lot Vice President in 1864, ana there were not a scire of men in the country who knew of his purpose to accomplish it. He bad no prej udice against Hamlin; on the con trary, would have been glad to have Hamlin on the ticket again with him, but he had carefully looked over the field, and he felt that a change in the Vice-Presi dency was a necessity for two reasons, which he gave to me per sonally the day before the meet ing of the convention in Balti more, in which 1 was the delegate at large from Pennsylvania, when he asked me to vote for Johnson for Vict-President and told me why it should be done. He anti cipated a severe and perhaps a doubtful contest with McClellan; he believed that it would be nec eisary to bring into the support of the Iliput hca 1 ticket, iu addi tion to ' the 1 e nocrats who had become Republicans, the targe number of loyal war Democrats who yet main.ained at least pas sive relations with the Democrat ic party. Among them were such conspicuous characters as Dix, of New York, Holt of Ken Lucky, Butler of Massachusetts, Johnson of Tennessee, and many others. While he regarded that as a strong and controlling po litical reason for 'the nomination of Johnson, there waa behind it what with him waa oven more forceful. The nomination was made in the early summer of 18l4, when no important victories had been achieved by our armies under Grant or Sherman, and the dark pall of recognition of the Confederacy by Erjgland and France yet hung over us. He be lieves that in no way could our trie, ds in the European countries be so greatly atrengtnened aa by the election of a mau to the aec ond office of the Government from a reconstructed State la the heart of the Confederacy, and a mau who had filled every impor tant office within the gift of hia State, and he thought it inpor taut thus to nationalize the lie publican party.
