'Who do you really prefer to see nominated, tell us?" Greeley hesitated a moment and sort of bracing up he said, "I believe Edward Bates of Missouri is the safest nomination for us to make. He is a very able man and he comes from a section that we ought to have with us. He is not well known in the East, and for that reason I am hesitating in urging him strongly but he would make a good candidate and an able President if elected, but I am hesitating. " "Mr. Greeley, " said one of our group, "Wha...t do you think of Abraham Lincoln as a candidate? Why not urge him?" "Lincoln, " said Mr. Greeley, speaking very slowly as if weighing each word, "is a very adroit politician. He has a host of friends out here in Illinois who seem to see something in him that the rest of us haven't seen yet. He has a very interesting history that would make good campaign literature, but the trouble with Lincoln is this, he has had no experience in Na- tional affairs, and facing a crisis as we all believe, I doubt if such a nomination would be acceptable.
