REPUBLICAN WIGWAM, CHICAGO, 1S60. represented the culture of the older East. Stimulating and triumphantstrains of music burst upon the morning air, blown from clarionet, cor-net, and trombone by the band from New York. A great crowd in theinterest of Seward was marching in procession to the Wigwam. Mr.Sewards lieutenants had made a mistake. The procession never wouldenter the Wigwam, for a dense mass already crowded every avenue■leading to the building. The interior was filled. Candidates were putin nomination. At the mention of the name of Abraham Lincoln, Mr.Cook, of Ottawa, standing in a conspicuous place on the platform,w^aved a white handkerchief, and a stentorian voice broke forth at theeastern end of the buildmg, answered by one equally loud from thewestern end, followed by the shouts of the assembled thousands—con-tinuino till the white handkerchief ceased to wave. The man fromChicago and the man from Ottawa, with voices like fog-horns, werecarrying out their instructions.
