The idea of making Lincoln a Presidential candidate had occurred to the minds of many during his growing fame. The principle of natural selection plays no unimportant part in the politics of the United States. There are always hundreds of newspapers ready to "nail to the mast-head" the name of any individual which begins to appear frequently in dispatches and editorials.
The Chicago Tribune, in one of its charmingly frank editorials, thus describes the gains to the British Empire as a result of the war. "The British mopped up. They opened up their highway from Cairo to the Cape. They reached out from India and took the rich lands of the Euphrates. They won Mesopotamia and Syria in the war. They won Persia in diplomacy. They won the east coast of the Red Sea.
In truth it must be so, and is so; and therefore, how an editor can take from ten to twenty texts and build upon them from ten to twenty painstaking editorials a week and keep it up all the year round, is farther beyond comprehension than ever.
You think all the editorials in the morning papers are remarkably well-written, whether upon your side or upon another. You think the stock-market has a very cheerful look, with Erie of which you are a large holder down to seventy-five. You wonder why you never admired Mrs. Hemans before, or Stoddart, or any of the rest.
People condemned him in no measured language, and denounced him as a dastardly villain who deserved the severest punishment. Mr. Sinclair told of the conversation he had with several people along the road, and how all were loud in their severe denunciations. Even the city papers, following the popular cry, had editorials about the murder.
"Yes," she acquiesced eagerly. "If ever I use the power of my editorials for any cause that I don't believe in yes, or for my own advantage or the advantage of my employer that will be the beginning of surrender. But as long as I keep a free pen and speak as I believe for what I hold as right and against what I hold as wrong, I can afford to leave the advertising policy to those who control it.
Even while she was reading magazines and plodding through newspaper editorials on public questions she had never heard of, so that she could find things to talk about to him, she was thinking of the change, and asking herself what she had done or left undone to cause it? She also asked him: "Maurice! Something bothers you! I'm not enough for you. What is the matter?" He said, shortly, "Nothing."
He was for "stern virtue" only, and everlastingly lashed compromise and temporizing; called politicians all the elegant hard names there are, in every one of his editorials, especially Lafe Gorgett, whom he'd never seen. He made mighty free with Lafe, referred to him habitually as "Boodler Gorgett", and never let up on him from one year's end to another.
In next day's Commercial, blazing under vivid headlines, these leading editorials, dated "Chicago" and "New York," "Springfield, Mass.," and "Louisville, Ky.," appeared with the explaining line "The Tribune of to-morrow morning will say " "The Courier-Journal and the Republican will say to-morrow morning " Wondrous consensus of public opinion! The Davis boom went down before it.
Still holding his fingers, she pushed him away from her at arm's length, and looked at him. "What does it feel like to be famous, and have editorials about one's self in the New York newspapers?" He laughed, and released his hands somewhat abruptly. "It seems as strange to me, Honora, as it does to you." "How unkind of you, Peter!" she exclaimed.
