Abraham Lincoln was in no sense an accident. His nomination for President in i860 surprised the country. Yet it was the logical result of a series of events that had extended over a period of many years. This was not wholly clear then, but it is plain enough now. It is the purpose of this little volume to tell briefly the story of his preparation for his colossal task and of the events that made him, almost inevitably, as it now seems. Chief Magistrate of the nation. There have been many great men in the world, and the future will bring forth more great men. But the world has produced only one Abraham Lincoln, and we may not expect another in all the generations yet unborn.

    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Palmer House Hotel 17 E. Monroe St. Preliminary Landmark receommendation approved by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, April 7, 2005 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Lori T. Healey, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Land- marks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. Palmer House Hotel (now Palmer House Hilton) 17 East Monroe Street Built 1925-27 Architects Holabird & Roche Located in Chicago’s Loop and occupying most of a city block, the Palmer House Hotel (now the Palmer House Hilton) remains one of the flagship hotels in Chicago. Built in the 1920s, the Palmer House is the fourth hotel (after earlier incarnations built in 1870, 1871, and 1875) to bear the name of real estate magnate and hotelier Potter Palmer.

  • The Fossil No
    THE FOSSIL Official Publication of The Fossils, Inc., Historians of Amateur Journalism Volume 105, Number 2, Whole Number 339, Glenview, Illinois, January 2009 DOWNSIZING President's Report Guy Miller Now that it has become a euphemism for firing people from their jobs, the term “downsizing” sends chills throughout America's work force. Indeed, taken in the context of its more innocent sense of making something smaller the term still often does not suggest a pleasant connotation. What prompted my reflections in this direction are my own preparations to downsize the contents of my little “office,” including my amateur journalism possessions. Finally, I have had to admit to myself that I could no longer pull my 7x10 Excelsior which also meant that I no longer need my collection of types. Fortunately, fellow Fossil Jack Scott, presently AAPA Mailer, was able to relieve me of the press and related items; and I hope that he will be able to help me dispose of the type. I miss the press whose former space is now taken over by ajay Bundles which have long ago spilled over the special shelves which my late brother had built and hung for me. I know that I will regret parting with the type, some of its beautiful faces, still uninked despite my best intention that “some day” I would certainly employ them. What will be the most problematic, however, is trying to decide which ajay journals and books should be disposed of first; for from long experience I have learned that just as soon as one disposes of something, he finds that he could have used it for a reference.

  • The Chicago Convention (May 1860)
    Chapter Fifteen “The Most Available Presidential Candidate for Unadulterated Republicans”: The Chicago Convention (May 1860) In May 1859, Lincoln’s friend Nathan M. Knapp prophetically called him “the most available” (i.e., the most electable) presidential candidate “for unadulterated Republicans.”1 A year later, that view had become so widespread that the Rail-splitter was able to capture the Republican nomination, for of all the outspoken critics of slavery, he seemed the one most likely to win. UNDERMINING SEWARD Delegates began arriving in Chicago well before May 16, the official opening day of the Republican convention. They were something to behold. The journalist Simon P. Hanscom remarked that of all the sights in the world, “the small politician at a National Convention is the most entertaining.” Dressed “in solemn black, he stalks gloomily along, as if the fate of the nation rested on his shoulders. He affects the diplomatic, and pretends to be acquainted with the sundry terrible schemes which are hatching.” The city “is a wonder to a stranger,” with “its broad avenues, magnificent buildings, splendid shops, and fine private residences.” There one could observe “all the good and the bad in 1 Nathan M.
