October 22: ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Briefly

In 1860, during a meeting in Binghamton, Mr. Brady defended his position against Lincoln's election, asserting it shouldn't be a cause for Southern secession.
In 1886, only seventeen supervisors appeared at the Court House, with others busy fixing fences, as plans were discussed for the Statue of Liberty's unveiling.
In 1914, President Ebbets signed Charley Stengel for the Brooklyn National League, having faith in his future performance despite a rocky start that season.
Stengel's turnaround from a poor start to significant contributions by season's end demonstrated Manager Robinson's belief in his skills and potential.
