Animosity inereased, and as the breach grew larger Republican power increased. Lincoln received a large majority of electoral votes. The day before he was elected |New York papers printed bulle- tins saying South Carolina would secede. | War came. It raged for three years, and then another campaign was on. Aftacks on Presidents of recent years have been no more isavnge than those made upon Lin- jcoln. Some Washington corres- pondenis professed to see a tyran- jical tendemcy in Lincoln's fre- |quent reading of books about Na- | poleon. He also was criticised for ex- travagance in the - alleged pur- |chase of a 16-wheeled cart at a |cost of $80,000. i But when the Republicans met Connecticut sank the theme song: i”ConnecLicut gives her 12 votes for that pure and patriotic.states- iman, Abraham Lincoln.” He was {nominated on the first %ballot. )| The Democrats nominated Gen- jeral George B. MeClellan, Union army officer, on a platform de- claring the war to be a failure, 1a platform which McClellan him- Iseif repudiated. The South, of {course, was out of the 1864 race ‘.because of the war. The Democratic platform said {that “public welfare demands im- mediate efforts for a cessation of | hostilities with a view to a con- | vention of the states to the end |that peace may be restored at the |earliest possible moment.” But Lincoln ‘won .with 2,3330552 votes; McClellan received 1,835,985 | votes. % ————— TO TELEPHONE PATRONS | A new telephone directory is now in the course of preparation.
