12 And wherever the "Wondrous Story" of our Illinois is told, it must al- ways be recited with pride that when Lincoln was first sworn in as president, while the air was full of rumors of as- sault, aye, and of assassination, there stood beside him a brother from Illi- nois who by Lincoln's matchless elo- quence and wonderful genius had been deprived of the prize for the gain of which his whole life had been bent.
That brother, by his presence, notified those who had indulged in threats that no... stone could be thrown, no shot fired at Abraham Lincoln which might not maim or pierce his own body. His presence proclaimed his guardianship over the person of his brother. In his own defeat he found solace and joy in the knowledge that the victor was his neighbor and brother, and humbly, loyally and fraternally he held the hat of that victorious brother, while the venerable chief justice was administer- ing to him the oath of office. The friend overcame himself as adversary.
The patriot conquered himself as the partisan, and the history of Illinois, humanity and American patriotism was enriched by the spectacle of the pro- tecting, loving presence at Lincoln's 13 side of his former adversary, Stephen A.
