Outside their campaign headquarters on Broadway in New York City, the Republican uniformed "Wide Awake" club were dedicating a Lincoln-Hamlin "pole" when dozens of Bell and Everett supporters arrived on the scene. Insults were exchanged and a large brawl ensued. Leader of the "Wide Awakes" in this engagement was Army veteran J.H. Hobart Ward who later went on to command a brigade at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and notably, at Gettysburg. (By John Osborne)
