The speaker related many intere sting Incl
dents connec ted with the movements of the
army, illustrating the benevolence of General
Tay Tor, and the perfect confidence of the troops
in the goodness of his heart, and his skill as a
commander. ''He made US feel as if every
man was double, and had twice the strength
that we really possessed, and could do twice
as much as any other army in the world. He
was always the first TO meet DANCE, and used
to tell us to match him Gloss, and ncrer run
till he ran. But he never ran from the enemy;
he never turned away from suffering soldier
without doing all he could 10 relieve and cheer
HIM" On the march TO Seralvo," continued
the youth, my strength gave out, and if il
had not been for Gen. Taylor, | might have
been left upon the road 10 die or be murdered
But he saw me, aud knew from my looks that
was exhausted He took me up and sat me
on his own mule, and rode with him in that
way for several days. He saved my life then,
and am ready TO give him every drop of my
blood, whenever he wants soldier" *
"At one time wewere almost out of Provisions.
We bad nothing to eat but musty biscuit, and
slushed, maggoty pork An officer went to
eat such food. well, SIR said the General,
come and take dinner with me-
The invitation was gladly accepted, and
the officer anticipating first rate dinner dress
ed himself up, and went TO the quarters of the
General; but instead of finding regular dinner
table, filled with delicacies, he saw the GEN
eral sitting before the fire, tOasting piece of
the same old slushed pork on stick. and that
with some musty biscuit and little bean
soup, made the dinner for himself and the dis
appointed officer, who expected to dine on
[ roast beef and plum pudding. That gentle man
didn't eat any more dinners with General Tay-
| lor."
The young soldier continued his interesting
, narrative about twenty minutes, his bright eye
often flashing with Indignation, when speaking
of the ISLANDERS with which Gen. Taylor is as
, sailed, and his voice trembled with emotions
of gratitude and affection in the relation OF the
benevolent acts OF the noble hero and patriot
We need not say that he was frequently inter
rupted with the hearty applause otthe meeting.

having ascertanied from the stranger his name

Os-To those who are disposed to complain
that Gen. Taylor is not profuse enough in his
pledges, we commend the following remark
from letter addressed by Gen. Harrison TO the
Wings of the New York Legislature on the 23d
of May, 1910: te
A better guarantee for the correct conduct of
a Chief Magistrate may be found in his charuc-
ter and the course of his former life than in
pledges and opinion GIVEN DURING THE PEN
IDENcY OF 4 DOUBTFUL CONTEST. Trhr

Some of the Cass papers give as reason for
opposing Gen. Taylor, that he mas been ''out OF
society for twenty years" They objected 10
Gen. Harrison because he lived in a log cabin
and drank hard cider; they objected TO old Har-
~ because as they said, he ''lived at the springs
and drank Champagne" and now they object
10 old Rough and Ready because he has lived
in Florida swamps and been content with a
soldiers fare. 1t is strange that they can not
be satisfied with the residence OF any OF the
Wing candidates. -Xenia Torch Light.

THE TAYLOR PLATFORM.

"The power given by the constitution TO the
Executive, TO interpose his veto, is a high con-
sentative power, which should never be exer-
cised except in cases of clear violation of the
or manifest haste and want of
consideration by Congress-"
"The personal opinions of the individual who
may happen to occupy the Executive chair,
ought not to control the action of Congress up
on questions Of domestic policy, nor ought his
objections to be interposed where questions of
constitutional power have been settled by the
various departments of government, and ac-
quiesced in BY the people"
"Upon the subjects of the tariff, the curren-
cy, the improvement of our great highways,
rivers, lakes, and harbors, the will of the peo-
pie, as expressed tho their representatives. in
Congress, ought to be respected, and carried
out BY the Executive
"War, at all times, and under all circumstan-
ces, is national calamity, to be avoided, il
compatible with national honor" "The prin-
ciples of our government, as well as its true
policy. are opposed to the subjugation Of other
nations and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of other coun-
tries by conquest, for, in the language of the
great Washington, 'why should we quit our
own to stand on foreign ground
