                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Fulton Centre Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Augt 19th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov R Yates
Springfield Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have received several letters within the past few days informing me that a certain Ex Shff of this County (D I Waggoner) was at present at Springfield and it is conjectured by our friends (and all Union men are) &lt;u&gt;that he was trying to break into the Paymasters department of the Army,&lt;/u&gt; I presume you are acquainted with him for fear you are not; I will give an introduction  He is a sly cunning schemer without a particle of Patriotism in his composition, he would never admit that Mr Lincoln or any other Republican can or ever did a Patriotic deed   to prove this I will state one fact, of which I have proof of the most reliable kind  The Peoria resolution that reads thus "No compromise with traitors while in arms against the Government"  He said in the presence of &lt;u&gt;many&lt;/u&gt; reliable men that no one but a fool would vote for that resolution   Govr we want Patriots now; not Partisans such as this Waggoner  Keep an eye on him for his true character I refer you to every Union man in Fulton County
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After my return from Springfield I addressed a note to you saying to you that if a vacancy (and you thought me competent) I would be pleased to get an appointment in the commissary department   I was prompted to ask this favor from the fact that my age forbid active service &amp;amp; believing that I might serve in that capasity; I am at present not engaged in any business and would like to have something to do that would help me  I am somewhat embarrassed but not so that I despair of geting out of difficulty if this unhappy war closes soon as I think it will. I expect If I live until the 1st of next March (probably by the 1st day) to see &amp;amp; hear of the Stars &amp;amp; Stripes floating over every foot of territory in all the States East West North &amp;amp; South
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;let me hear from you &amp;amp; believe me as ever your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hugh Lamaster
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.  I regret to bore you but I could not refrain from doing so on this occasion.  If I am mistaken as to his movements It will do no harm.  I will again say keep your eye on him.  He may succeed in getting some shaky union men to recomend him; but no true Patriot that is acquanted with him will endorse him.  H L
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hugh Lamastre
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For position
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fulton Centre
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter on book 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants Quarter Master's place.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov R Yates
Springfield Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have received several letters within the past few days informing me that a certain Ex Shff of this County (D I Waggoner) was at present at Springfield and it is conjectured by our friends (and all Union men are) &lt;u&gt;that he was trying to break into the Paymasters department of the Army,&lt;/u&gt; I presume you are acquainted with him for fear you are not; I will give an introduction  He is a sly cunning schemer without a particle of Patriotism in his composition, he would never admit that Mr Lincoln or any other Republican can or ever did a Patriotic deed   to prove this I will state one fact, of which I have proof of the most reliable kind  The Peoria resolution that reads thus "No compromise with traitors while in arms against the Government"  He said in the presence of &lt;u&gt;many&lt;/u&gt; reliable men that no one but a fool would vote for that resolution   Govr we want Patriots now; not Partisans such as this Waggoner  Keep an eye on him for his true character I refer you to every Union man in Fulton County
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After my return from Springfield I addressed a note to you saying to you that if a vacancy (and you thought me competent) I would be pleased to get an appointment in the commissary department   I was prompted to ask this favor from the fact that my age forbid active service &amp;amp; believing that I might serve in that capasity; I am at present not engaged in any business and would like to have something to do that would help me  I am somewhat embarrassed but not so that I despair of geting out of difficulty if this unhappy war closes soon as I think it will. I expect If I live until the 1st of next March (probably by the 1st day) to see &amp;amp; hear of the Stars &amp;amp; Stripes floating over every foot of territory in all the States East West North &amp;amp; South
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;let me hear from you &amp;amp; believe me as ever your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hugh Lamaster
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.  I regret to bore you but I could not refrain from doing so on this occasion.  If I am mistaken as to his movements It will do no harm.  I will again say keep your eye on him.  He may succeed in getting some shaky union men to recomend him; but no true Patriot that is acquanted with him will endorse him.  H L
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

                  <text>John T. McCutcheon worked as a political cartoonist for Chicago newspapers including the Chicago Record (1889-1903) and the Chicago Tribune (1903-1946). His cartoons focused on several themes including political campaigns, the Phillippines insurrection, and World War I. McCutcheon created a series of cartoons based on Midwestern American life called Bird Town while he worked for the Chicago Record which he continued after moving to the Chicago Tribune. McCutcheon, known as the Dean of American Cartoonists, received the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for a cartoon dealing with bank failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cartoons in this collection include images focusing on political corruption, presidential and Illinois elections, and World War I.</text>

                  <text>Harold R. Heaton worked as a political cartoonist for several Chicago-based newspapers including the Chicago Daily Tribune (1885-1899) and the Inter-Ocean (1908-1914). While working for the Chicago Daily Tribune he created a series of weekly commentaries on the World's Columbian Exhibition held in Chicago in 1893. Heaton's political cartoons featured current events, frequently focusing on Chicago politics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heaton took a break from cartoon work in 1899 to work as an actor and playwright before returning to the newspaper business in 1908. After Inter-Ocean's collapse in 1914, Heaton returned to the stage, acting on Broadway from 1920-1932.</text>

                  <text>Harold R. Heaton worked as a political cartoonist for several Chicago-based newspapers including the Chicago Daily Tribune (1885-1899) and the Inter-Ocean (1908-1914). While working for the Chicago Daily Tribune he created a series of weekly commentaries on the World's Columbian Exhibition held in Chicago in 1893. Heaton's political cartoons featured current events, frequently focusing on Chicago politics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heaton took a break from cartoon work in 1899 to work as an actor and playwright before returning to the newspaper business in 1908. After Inter-Ocean's collapse in 1914, Heaton returned to the stage, acting on Broadway from 1920-1932.</text>
