[Chicago Press and Tribune, October 11, 1858] GALESBURG, Oct. 7, 1858 A great joint debate between Lincoln and Douglas comes off at Quincy on the 13th of October, and I have a word or two to say to you about it. I am living down in Pike County, Illinois, and day before yesterday, on my way up here, I had occasion to go over into Missouri, and there I found large handbills up calling on the Democrats of the State to turn out at Quincy. Several steamers have been engaged by the Missourians to convey them up the river. I was told by several of them that they intended to make Lincoln "dry up." What they meant by it I do not know. Douglas' friends in Quincy are looking to that State for their crowd on the 13th. Now I write you this for the purpose of having you urge the Republicans to turn out their strength, and sustain and cheer our noble champion by their presence.
