The change from this rather cumbersome and characterless name to "Lincoln" came about largely as the result of J. H. N. Patrick of Douglas County, an ardent Democrat and one of the stronger opponents of the new state capital south of the Platte. Senator Patrick moved t o change the name from "Capi tal City" to "Lincoln," hoping if his motion was successful to drive enough Democratic votes from South of the Platte away from the measure to bring about its defeat. The then late Pres ident Lincoln was not in 1867 the universally admired hero he has since become politics were too bitter and the fires of dis sention too hot. Nevertheless, the Democrats from -south of the Platte refused to let political considerations play them from doing what they believed to be their duty to their section. They voted, to a man, for the reloca tion 'with the new name and ."Capital City" became Lincoln. REVIVED 'DEAD' BOY DIES Farmingham, Mass.

This CAC Plus Sale Only for Tax "Drugs With a Reputation According to an account by N. C. Abbott, published some years ago by the State Histori cal Society, there are 42 post offices in the United States using the name "Lincoln," alone or in composition. Nebraska's cap ital city is by far the largest and most important of these places and the week of Abraham Lincoln's birthday seems like a good time to review the circum stances under which the name was bestowed.
