To Describe The Career Of A Man Who Is Now Chiefly Remembered as The
Rival Of Abraham Lincoln, Must Seem To Many Minds A Superfluous, If
Not Invidious, Undertaking. The Present Generation Is Prone To Forget
That When The Rivals Met In joint Debate Fifty Years Ago, On The
Prairies Of Illinois, It Was Senator Douglas, And Not Mr. Lincoln, Who
Was The Cynosure Of All Observing eyes. Time Has Steadily Lessened The
Prestige Of The Great Democratic Leader, And Just As Steadily Enhanced
The Fame Of His Republican Opponent.
