Gen. yIsCIurc's Sucech,

We have been favoured with sketch of Gen.
MCLunE's speech, delivered at Democratic
Convention, lately held at Geneva, in Kane coun-
ty 1t is mere outline of the speech, taken hasti-
ly by friend, who was delegate.
Resolutions being introduced by COM
mittee in relation to Gen. Harrisous great
military achievements. Gen. Mcclure
was called upon to express his views.
He responded to the call, stated that it
was with some reluctance that he APP
preached the subject, as he was PERSONAL
~ Gen. Harrison's friend, but politically
they were an immense distance apart, and
that, as the General was now brought be-
fore the people as candidate for the high
est office in their gift, he considered him
public property, and a proper subject for
the people to investigate, whether or not
he was duly qualified for the discharge of
so important trust.
The General said, that in relation to
his military services, he knew something,
partly from personal observation, and
partly from other sources. He said, the
present generation had recently made dis
coveries in relation to Gen. Harrison, as
a great military chicftain, that truly asto-
nshed him. The Executive and Con-
gress of 1918 must have been stupid and
ungrateful set of blockheads to deny him
vote of thanks, if he rendered such ser.
vices. Gen. Armstrong, who was Their
Secretary at War, and who, i! is pre-
sumed, was well acquainted with all Har'
rison's plans and movements, has recently
published a book, entitled, "Notces oftht
War of lsl2-l3," full 20 pages Of which
are occupied with severe structures or

by one of the employing printers at Chicago to
duce the journeymen's wages, which axe, we are
Informed, already as low there as at any place in
the Union, in proportion to expenses, &c. As
such attempts can scarcely ever be conducive to
the real interests Of the employers generally, and
must always njure those of the journeymen, we
hope that, at least long as there is no greater
reason than now exists to lower any wages, the
Jouneymen may notbc compelled to submit to the
unjust measures of one out Of five or six employ
ers, by any oftheir fellow craftsmen from abroad,
or by the seyility or disafiecton Of any of their
associate craftsmen at Chicago.

Watching how long each wave would lsnger

Then sank to oceans breast agaip,
As half regretfnl to have missed it,
And with the maid lie, hope remain.

The maiden on the sand enshrined,
The wave flowed on--but soon retreat:ng,
No trace Of Friendship left behind
Loves then appeared, twas deeply craven
On that frail page, by Beauty's hand;
The wave returntd an silly maiden,
Loves vows were ever writ On sand. !
When one by one, each name had persisted,
Beauty grew wearied Of her play;
Finding that all most priced and cherished,
Some passing wave will sweep avoy!
