I say in the main the use of money is wrong; but for certain objects in a political contest the use of some is both Tight and indispensable.

With me, as with yourself, this long struggle has been one of great pecuniary loss. I now distinctly say this: If' you shall appointed a delegate to Chicago, I will furnish one hundred dollars to bear the expenses of the trip." Kansas instructed its delegation for Seward, but Lincoln later reuewed the offer. in i JWalfe JAMES H. WILMETH Abraham Lincoln in the Know Nothing party, they were against his nomination.

They told the delegations Seward could not carry their states because of the American or Know Nothing party. Seward delegates be ganto abandon him, with tears. They loved Seward, but loved victory more.

The party had never carried Pennsylvania or Indiana and must have them to win. The Seward lines weakened, but Weed and other strong leaders waged a brilliant ngnt lor their man. weed promised Lane to throw any amount of money into Indiana to carry. his election. Lane wouldn't listen.

Select Vice Heads Of West Side O. P. Chairman Hannick Names Five Assistants to Ar WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Abraham Lincoln, often considered our greatest president, was nominated largely because bis chief opponent was disliked by the anti Catholic element and then elected only minority of the votes cast for president in November.

He was nominated at a remarkable convention opening at Chicago May 16, i860, which bears some resemblance to the hectic Madison Spuare Garden convention of the Democrats in 1924. Sixty delegates to that convention were later elected to Congress and many became governors. David Wilmot, Proviso fame, was thekeynoter. Invitations for Republican delegates had been sent broadcast. Pew southerners dared accept, although slave holding border states were represented and Texas partly so.

Thousands of spectators poured into Chicago from the free states. It was the first convention to have a special hall built for it, the first to attract and admit huge gallery crowds and the first with tele graph instruments Inside the hall. Almost until the time of the convention. Senator William H. Seward, of New York, was expected to get the nomination.

He had proved a wise leader of the party's battles in the Senate. Thurlow Weed had laid the groundwork for him and William M. Evarts was to make eloquent speeches in his behalf. Lincoln had hardly been mentioned. In 1859 he had said that he was unfit for the nomination, and would not work for it, though later he changed his mind.

His friends had hoped for the vice presidential nomination. But sentiment began to set in against Seward shortly before the convention. Horace Greeley, editor of the powerful New York Tribune, was opposing him. What told most against Seward was the feeling among independent delegates that he had made too many enemies. He had frightened many of the timid by his predictions of the "irrepressible conflict." The Know Nothings, however, turned the tide.

Archbishop Hughes had supported Seward for governor of New York in 1838 and enabled him to win with Catholic votes. In gratitude, Seward had proposed to divide the state school fund between public and Catholic schools. The anti Catholics had never forgiven him and now, in 1860, having been organized WEST SIDE Y.M.I. CLASS LS OPENED Public Speakers Begin Season's Activities.

A statement Issued tonight by the aroaa mix Manufacturers Association dispelled hope that a strike of broad silk weavers tomorrow would be averted.

Fred Hoelscher. secretarv of the silk workers, estimated tonight that between 8,000 and 6.000 silk workers would walk out tomorrow morning. up the anti Seward delegatesfirst without alienating; the Sewardites.

The night beefore the first day of balloting, Seward's mene gave a big cham pagne suppere. There were many pious complaints, ne Lincoln men, mean while, were working. The Seward supporters had brought several thousand people from New York, who marched about the streets with a gorgeous brass band. They paraded amid lusty cheers. Lincoln's managers Backed thou sands of Illinois Republicans into the temporary wigwam erected for the convention, Instructed to take up every Inch of space and howl for Lin coin.

When the Seward men reached the wigwam, only the New York delegation could get in. The other Seward mooters had to stay out. But there were those to cheer for him and a gigantic demonstration greeted presentation of his name. Murat Hal stead wrote that "hundreds stopped tneir ears in pain. No Comanches no panthers ever gave screams of more infernal intensity.

Thoa sands of hats, a black, mighty swarm of hats, flew with the velocity of hornets over a moss of human heads." But, he added, the counted up roar for Lincoln was "beyond de I thought the Seward yeV. could, not be surpassed, but the Lincoln boys were clearly ahead and, feeling their victory, as there was a lull in the storm, took deep breaths all around, 1 and gave a conventrated shriek that was positively awful and accompanied it with stamping that made every plank and pillar quiver." Both sides had engaged tough cheer leaders. Thus began the convention practice of yelling contests, familiar ever since. When Lincoln's nomination finally came, a cannon fired from the roof was not heard Inside. On the first bollot Seward had 175 votes to Lincoln's 102, with 190 cast for others and 233 necessary for choice.

It Is our activity in civil af for the word meeting, nor the packed convention, nor tne rraauient ballot, Dut let it stand for citizenship." The young man has a duty to per form in business.

Let him perform it diligently. The man has a part to play in social life. Let him make society clean. The young man owes a duty to the. state," the minister said.
