Monaghan #10. The only privately printed pamphlet of a Debate from either side.
A copy of the speeches given at the Alton, IL Lincoln Douglas Debates, as reported by fa pro-Douglas, Democratic newspaper.
A one and a quarter-page preamble begins with large-type headlines: "5,000 to 10,000 present/Lincoln again refuses to answer/Appears in his old character of 'Artful Dodger'"/Tries to palm himself off"/as a friend of Henry Clay and no Abolitionist AND IS EXPOSED!!"
It goes on to observe that "Lincoln's conduct at this last debate was most improper and ungentlemanly," since contrary to the rules, he sat behind Douglas while the latter was talking, shaking his head at what he was hearing.

Our current group of female athletes owe much to "Flo-Jo." She kept her hair long, and wore jewelry in a sport that historically favored speed over personal expression. She achieved both, flawlessly. Her adventurous fashion acumen paved the way for Serena and Venus Williams' exciting choices. Serena's 2021 Australian Open single bare-leg look echoes Flo-Jo's "one legger" from the late '80s.
