A GLIMPSE OF A NOTED CAMPAIGN-THE STATE ELECTIONS EAKLY IN OCTOBER, I860, WHICH VIRTUALLY SETTLED THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST. Vermont was the first state which held an election after the nomination of Mr. Lincoln. The first Tuesday in September had come, and the Republicans had carried Vermont. If doubts had existed, they were now dispelled. The Republicans were united; they had made a strong pull and a pull all together, and when they made a united effort they almost always carried Vermont. Their majority being greater than the combined vote of all their opponents, the state was considered safe for Lincoln at the presidential election in November. As soon as the election was over I was invited by the National Committee, then in continuous session, to come to the Astor House, New York, for consultation. They wanted to know something about our Vermont methods; also what Vermont could do for other states where the contest was more doubtful. At the committee rooms I first met Judge William D. Kelley, then making his first run for Congress in Philadelphia. He had not then gained the name of " Pig-iron Kelley," nor the grateful affection of his state and the country which he afterwards earned by long, efficient, and most reputable service in the popular branch of the national legislature. We made short speeches at the same mass-meeting in Jersey City. When the meeting was over he said tome, " Tour style will just suit my district. Come over to Philadelphia with me, and give us a taste of your Green Mountain quality. You may return to Kew York early on Monday." I assented, with little thought of the danger of trusting myself to the friendly contact of Philadelphia politicians. I went with Judge Kelley to what was then a suburb of the city of brotherly love, Germantown by Books, Biography & Autobiography~~General, Recollections-Of-President-Lincoln-And-His-Administration~~Lucius-Eugene-Chittenden, 999999999, Recollections Of President Lincoln And His Administration, Lucius Eugene Chittenden, 1142453413, Nabu Press, , , , , Nabu Press<
