Public Rally in Wisanton Supports Lincoln Hamlin
A May 20, 1880 Wisanton dispatch describes a Republican gathering with Hamlin serenaded at the Washington House after a hall full of supporters heard speeches from French and Pettit. Senator Trumbull and Washburne praised Lincoln and Seward, amid interruptions, and a crowd later chanted three cheers for Lincoln and Hamlin as a rowdy provocation faded.
