- Maurice Montgomery: Jackson thought it would be a good idea for the Republicans in Janesville to hear Abraham Lincoln. He saw Tallman on the street and said,
"Do you want to go to Beloit?" and off they go. They approach Lincoln, and Jackson brought Tallman and Lincoln back up to Tallman's house. Here's an upset to the family plans. Lucien Hanks was ensconced in the guest chamber and he's going to have to be evicted because we have a more important guest. Lincoln, sort of calming the waters, remarked that Lucien wasn't very tall and "Perhaps he and I can share the bed upstairs." Lucien, in later years, said, "This man snored with arms and legs thrashing about, and I simply could get no rest at all. So I got up and went downstairs and slept on the lounge."
