The dead countenance appeared to say that he had died with the consciousness of having done his best and that he was satisfied with the result. Page 12 cylbraham Lincoln and Wait Talcott WAIT TALCOTT, father of Mrs. Ralph Emer- son, was a member of the Illinois State Senate at the time when Lincoln first ran for U. S. Senator. The contest was very long and severe, and Mr. Talcott was one of the leaders on the Lincoln side. But there were a few members of the House who refused to vote for Lincol...n, and it was impossible quite to secure a majority. When the legislature was nearly wearied out one day a conference took place in the back part of the hall, where the legislature met between Lincoln, Logan and others of the Repup- lican leaders when it was agreed that Lyman Trumbull should be elected Senator in place of Lincoln, which was done. But the friendship which had grown very strong between Lincoln and Wait Talcott continued to the former's death. When Lincoln was a candidate for President we were all anxious to have him secure all the votes he consistently could.
