The anonncemont , however , on February 26 that ? arvin Hughltt would take a block of stock tr the Chicago & Northwestern railroad totem , amounting to the good sum of $30- 10 , gave a fresh impetus to the movement 4 that state , and when , finally , on the day Is eyes of the nation were turned toward taohington and Mr. McKinley's inaugura- an , the Nebraska legislature appropriated , x.00,000 , It was felt that something like 0,010 or $60,000 trom the Illinois legislature au an assured fact.

It gave to the Nashville ex- hihilion $20,000 and it was more than double that sum. ( irgnulxing the ( 'I/ulilliMMlllib A commission of twenty was organized September 10. At first it was the intention to make a big agricultural exhibit , but on second consideration this was thought to be like cariying coals to Newcastle , so it was concluded to have a fine fruit display in the general horticultural building , as southern - ern Illinois is famed the world over for its splendid fruit , and to induce the large manufacturers facturers of agricultural implements to secure - cure a good space in the machinery exhibits , and then put up a nice building , which would serve as a comfortable club house for the crowds of peolo coming from Illinois to the exposition. The commission was made up of lion , Clark E.

Father Martpiette and Louis Janet , with the dnring pioneers of their time , began what Lincoln , Grant and Doug- Ins co npleted 1md time product elands commensurate - mensurate witim the greatness of the stalwart - wart workmen. Since time days when Illinois was another tmanme for time great west and its boundaries reached from Montreal to New Orleans , its territory bus somewhat shrunk , but its develop umeut hills beer on a scale that line placed it first in vnhie of agricultural products , third hr population and in the first rank politically and conuuorcratly. Time history- a conuaonwenlth is largely the biography of its great mien and Illinois is able to point to a long roll of illustrious names. Tine name winch has brought most credit to the state as time peculiar product of its own virility of mind and character Is that of Lincoln , itevere the Nmune of Idueoln. Although Illinois was not the suite of Lhmcoha's nativity or clmildlmood , his blrth- phmce having peen Ilardin county , Kentuclty , it svuts time scene of Ills early umanlmood , of the character-forming period of his life whmlclm brought out in him time qualities of a patriot mid a statesman , The Lincolns removed - moved from Kentuclty to Spencer county , Indiana , in 1817 , in the son's eighth year. Lincoln grew up in a wooded and wild region - gion and wlmen he comae of age he could done no amore than read , write and cipher to the rule of three. At 21 he began his residence in New Salem , Ill order hotter conditions. Then came time Black hawk war and he was elected a captain of volunteers , a success which gave ldm more pleasure than any of time greater ones which followed , Ills prog- rese thereafter was rapid and after serving three biennial terms in time legislature he was elected to the lower house of congress in 1846 , His discussions with Douglas and ltis conspicuous qualities brought him into euch prominence that the republican party in 1860 found in him the end of their search for a candidate And he became time sixteenth president of the United States , The life of Abraham Lincoln became thenceforth merged in the history of tuts country and the remainder of his career as the first man of the nation nay not be chrouieled in a story of Illinois. The crowning - ing act of Lincoln's political life and by which he will be rememberedelhroigh future tinma was his issuance of time emanclimation proclamation , September 22 , 1862. Ills assassination - sassination occurred April 14 , 1865 , and his body lies in Illinois soil , in Oak Ridge cene- tory , near Springfield. Llucolu and Douglas fnrnislmed powerful reasoning faculties for the judgment of an important dispute , but a military leader was found necessary to carry them into execution - tion , and another Illinois sot was accordingly commissioned. Grant , as a warrior , brought equal credit to his native state with its other prenminent sons and finally received thL supreme - preme gift of time American people. ( rant , like Lincoln , was not born in the state , lds birthplace leaving been Point Pleatunt , 0. , but in hits development and preparatiom for leis work he is likewise accredited to Illi- nois. Grant's boyhood was not a noteworthy one and at West Point he arrived at no distinction - tinction except in his masterly power over horses. After graduation there he was eta- I Honed at St. Louis , Mo. , and at the outbreak Iof the Mexican war he was sent to the front as lieutenant. After Grant's marriage in 1848 ha passed through a period of apparently - ently unending discouragements and re verses , and In 1860 moved to Galena , III where he obtained a small clerkship. Other Ilri amt Lights , The opening of the clvll war furnished Grant's opportunity and lee rose to be brigadier - adier general la July , 1861 , and later was made commander of the Department of Tean- essee , lie captured Vicksburg July 4 , 1863,1 appointed him lieutenant general and conferred - ferred upon him the powers of general-in- duet of all armies in time field. He was elected president in November , 1868 , receiving - ceiving a total of 214 out of 2G4 electoral votes.
