n the Northern States, where everything was open and free.--David Davis, statement, September 10, 1866, to W. H. H. I was counsel for Bowles, Milligan, et al., who had been convicted of conspiracy by military tribunal in Indiana. Early in 1865 I went to Washington to confer with the President, whom I had known, and with whom in earlier days I had practised law on the circuit in Illinois.

Mr. Hendricks, who was then in the Senate, and who seemed to have little faith in the probability of executive clemency, accompanied me to the White House. It was early in the evening, and so many callers and visitors had preceded us we anticipated a very brief interview. Much to our surprise we found Mr. Lincoln in a singularly cheerful and reminiscent mood. He kept us with him till almost eleven o'clock. He went over the history of my clients' crime as shown by the papers in the case, and suggest

eant anything or nothing as one chose to construe it. The committee reported its resolution, and I made a report of the labor convention and received not so large a support as I could wish, but a very generous one. I said I could not support the nominee whoever he might be who stood upon such a platform as had been reported. I thought the nominee should be a western man, a man from a State where large American industries, beside agriculture, were carried on, and I hoped very much that Hendricks of Indiana would be the man Upon a conference with him I said I would support him if nominated notwithstanding the platform, because I knew how a man from a State like Indiana would construe it.
