The best evidence of his superiority in this debate is the fact that the Republicans circulated both sets of speeches as a cam- paign document in 1860, and Mr. Douglas' friends refused to do so. The most remarkable episode of Herndon's conversation — which I am repeating by memory only — relates to Mr. Lincoln's Presiden- tial aspirations. In common with most people, I had concluded that this great honor came to Mr. Lincoln without paving, as unexpected 10 as it was unsolicited, and to him a st...aggering piece of luck, like a lot- tery prize. This estimate is a charming one, but it is not a true one. When the Douglas and Lincoln contest was ended, the defeated man said to his partner : " Billy, I knew I should miss the place when I competed for it. This defeat will make me President. " He refused, in the interim, any proposition looking to his accept- ance of a lesser office, and this with the concurrence of his friends and family. At the same time he took no immediate means to pre- cipitate his opportunity, rather, like a man destined, sat more closely to study and vigilance, read all the issues as they developed, and waited for his call.
