They were an\\ninstinct for the right, a comprehension of justice, a boundless sympathy and\\ncompassion, an intense and yearning love for his fellows and their welfare\\nwhich knew neither rank nor race, but gathered within its boundless charity\\nall mankind.

The instinctive sense of pro-\\npriety and consciousness of superiority and greatness which hedged Washington\\nwas absent in him. The test of greatness is the wearing of the halo.

Ganson came in one day and said Mr.\\nPresident, I am risking my re-election in supporting your war measures. The\\ncampaign seems very unsatisfactory. Of course, I will not give out anything\\nyou tell me. What is the situation at the front? Mr. Lincoln, in his search-\\ning and sad way, looked at him for a moment as if he was about to reveal the\\nsecret of the whole army, and then tumbled Ganson out of the reception room\\nby saying, Ganson, how clean you shave.\\nPRESIDENT McKINLEY S TRIBUTE.\\nIt is not difficult to place a correct estimate upon the character of Lin\\ncoin.
