They held large torch-light parades that attracted large crowds. They carried lighted lamps on poles, and wore capes to protect their clothing from the spillage. Sometimes they marched in a zig-zag pattern, like a fence rail, which referred to their candidate, Abraham Lincoln, the railsplitter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid a strong price for the first one in copper, which looks better in person than it does in the photo.
