myself to that effect; nor have ( ever disan.

ISLANDERS NAILED TO THE Floor
CINCINNATI. Aug. 70. 1910,


Ny Dear Colonel enclose your speech
as published IN the Chillicothe Advertiser
The report of your speech so far as you
speak of General Harrison, has surely mis-
conceived you, | no, only so think but have
SO said. The inference may be fairly
drawn that you are not only.in doubt as re-
garded his courage, but that you had but
little respect for him as commanding
General. My personal regard for you in
duces me alone to call your attention to the
subject, and furnish you an opportunity Of
correcting what | conceive to be an errone-
Gus and garbled report of what you did say
in Chillicothe on the 9th inst.
From the enclosed remarks of Col. G. s.
Todd, you will at once discover that you
take issue and evidently differ. IF consis
tent with your feelings furnish me with
your views on the subject. They will be
published or not, as you may desire. Tru-
Iy your friend,
It. d. CARNEAL.

exceeded. The waving handkerehiefs Of
the ladies', and their animated interest in and
approval Of the proceedings Of the meeting,
rewarded and cheered the assembled multi
'iude.
Although good cheer and Hard Cider
abounded, all the proceedings of the meet
ing and the events Of the day were of the
most orderly and unexceptionabIe charac-
ter. Venerable clergymen, and aged menu
bers of the church Of Christ were in attend
ance, and nothing occurred which could be
otherwise than gratifying to their feelings.
They saw hundreds coming up to the res
cue of their country aud its institutions from
the rude grasp of its enemies, and they re-
joiced in the hopes which the events of that
day inspired.

annual message, that twenty two of the de-
spotic Kings and Emperors Of Europe apA
proved fully of the Sub-Treasury scheme,
by which three-fourths of the peoples earn
ings will be transferred to the pockets of
