Writing to W. E. Frazer, Lincoln declines to commit himself to 
Cameron of Pennsylvania for Presidency. He hints at his own 
candidacy: "For my single self, I have enlisted for the permanent 
success of the Republican cause; and, for this object, I shall labor 
faithfully in the ranks, unless, as I think not probable, the 
judgment of the party shall assign me a different position."

the enemy has learned to watch him, can do more than any other. Pitch 
in and try. Palmer is good and true, and deserves the best vote we
