and said he was simply the guest of the
noble Army OF the Cumberland. Generals
Noyes and Custer were there, and were both
called for, and Gen. Moves stepped to the
front of the stage, and said he was mem
Der of the Army OF the Tennessee. but he
was glad to meet the veterans of the Army
of the Cumberland here, and feel with
them as one of band OF brothers. He next
referred TO Thomas and Mcpherson as OF our
fallen braves, and closed by assuring them
that Ohio would never forget the heroes of
the war.
Custer was again loudly called for. but
declined to make a speech, and thanked the
audience for its kindly greeting.
Gen. Garfield was next called for and
commenced with pleasant annecdote about
the war, and in few apt sentences pictured
the career OF the Army of the Cumberland
deduciug from its history the truth that it
was glorious thing to have been even
private in its ranks.
Sheridan was now called for, and was led
forward by Gen. Garfield amid tempests of
applause. He said the faces before him
made his head swim, while Gen. Sherman's
head seemed TO be made clearer by them.
He would make no speech, but thanked
them for this grand demonstration. In all
our reunions he had never seen so magnifi-
cent an audience as that assembled here to-
night. loud applause.l Gen. c. H.
Grosvenor was now called for, and con-
graduated the Army of the Cumberland that
IL was greeted tonight by those who ten
years ago might have helped us little more
than they did. Even they come forward
now and speak in terms of praise of our
valor and our patriotism.
The band now sounded tattoo, and the
great audience slowly dispersed.

HIS SPEECH LAST NIGHT AT ST. LOUIS-HE

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia ratification meeting OF
the peoples movement in this State and the
ticket nominated by the peoples State conven-
tion few days ago, was held at the court house
tonight. The rotunda of that building and its
galleries were crowded with people, and con-
siderable enthusiasm prevailed. Thos. I.
Gault, prominent lawyer and democrat,
presided, and speeches were made ny
Major VIM Gentry, the peoples candidate for
governor, Senator Scnurz, and other prominent
citizens of both political parties. Senator
Schurz, after stating that he expected in q lew
days to present his views upon national and
state questions at length, spoke as follows: To
night am here only TO declare that the peoples
standard bearer and candidate for the governor

will have my active support As understand
this movement IL is not designed, and does not
pretend to be the nucleus or starting point of
new national party. Its ambition Is more

simply an uprising of the honest, substantia
citizens in the hrst line, the farmers and the
1aoorers and the business men Of Missouri, to
rescue the State from the wrongs

for many years not been heard in parties and

complimentary officials. The committee on
resolutions, through Ex-Governor Randolph, re-
ported series of lengthy resolutions, first in
both State and national; second. favoring equal

demning acts of violence and lawlessness
enacted by adventures in some of the States (;
third, in favor of the restoration of gold and

THE TENNESSEE RADICALS.
STATE CONVENTIONAL FIGHT OVER THE
CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. l6.-The republi
can State convention completed its permanent
organization by the choice of II. H. Harrison,
of Nashville, as president. The committee on
resolutions were out from until P. NJ. A de-
bate sprang mp on the third resolution, lodging
the civil rights issue, which may continue all
night. The colored members determined to
force a square action. They do not for
mixed schools or social equality, but insist on
equal accommodationsi in the cars, hotels, steam
boats, etc.
LATER: After the reassembling of the conven-
question, and on the previous question the
resolutions were adopted without allowing the
African delegates TO protest. The resolutions as
adopted, reaffirm the Philadelphia platform of
1872, Endorse the system of national banks, favor
free national banking and an return to specie
payments. The third resolution reads
ave are i'm favor of full and equal
enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages,
rights and privileges by all citizens and other

persons within the Jurisdiction of the U. s. with
out regard to race, creed or color, and at the
same time we deem 1t unnecessary
and unwise to attempt, by Congressional legisla-
ton or otherwise, TO compel between such races,
creeds or colors, the joint exercise
OF such accommodations, advantages,
rights or privileges. We recognize
the principles which are older than our con-
stitution that every mans house is his castle,
ard that under our government every citizen,
white or black, has the right TO bear arms
IL conformity to law and TO express his
opinion without interference or molesta-
ton" The other resolutions favor State
judiciary, favor public schools, ask
appropriations to improve the mouth Of
the Mississippi and the navigable rivers OF
Tennessee, and denounce the present DEM
ocratic State administrator. Horace Maynard
was then nominated for governor by accclama-
nation. He accepted the nomination, and made
speech indorsing the civil rights bill, passed
by The Senate, and announcing that he would
make a thorough canvass.

Chicago Times: Mr.. Beecher continues to
be Jolly. He feels the fortunes of the
damned every time he loses game of GRO
quet, but as he is skilled player he escapes
much torture. Occasionally he hangs oyer
the ragged edge of trout brook, endeavor-
ing to whip up brook-trout, but as he is
not an expert angler he does not feel re-
morse or despair when he tails to hook a
prize. So, altogether, he is In merry
mood. To this condition of his mind we
would not object if he had clean con-
science and always told as good stories as
the following: A nervous lady, bowling in
a stage down the mountain side, asked
Henry If there was really any danger.
"That reminds me-" said be, "of an old lady
who asked the conductor where the train
would go if the engine broke down. ON
the track, num- replied the conductor. tri-
umphantly. DO You see that ratchet, mum?
That'd hold us on till the day after dooms-
day. But continued the old lady, where
would we go if your ratchet was to break
DOWN. That, num- replied the conductor,
solemnly, would depend, mum, on what
sort of life you had been leading"

finished speaking to the congregation she

then she knew the congregation had gone

Disappointment and Disgust.

A young man who was in Covington on
Friday, in the interest of q new heating ap-
paratus, heard that Major P-was build
ing new house, and speedily hunted up the
veteran.
81 hear you are building new house, he
said to the major.
II amt exactly building one," said the
major, in the tone of man who don't care to
commit himself; II have built it,"
Exactly! Glad to hear it, - said the agent.
"Have you made any arrangements for heat
ing the new building?" and the agent looked
anxious.
We'll, TO-" muttered the major, with a
stare, az if the heating of the building was a
subject that had entirely slipped his mind.
$50 much the better for you" exclaimed
the agent, ''as think have just the article
you want, combining economy, heat and
cleanliness. We have sold thousands of them
throughout the country. and have vet to hear
OF single failure on the part of the
heater to do all that is claimed for it. 1t
Is the sum total of every excellence yet pro-
duced In the numerous devices patented for
heating buildings, and 1 am quite confident
that can demonstrate to you the superior
advantages which the heater enjoys over all
others. Where is your house Pr
''On Essex street," said the major.
Suppose you jump in the carriage with
me, and take drive over there l should
like to see it"
The major consented, and getting his over,
coat he mounted the seat with the hopeful
and eloquent agent, and they drove off. On
the way the agent rapidly went over the
many favorable points of the admirable heat
er, and was much gratifed at the impressions
ne had evidently made on his companion.
Arriving in front of the new building,
large and rather unpretending structure, the
agent said
"What are you going to do with this,
MAORI Make tenement or boarding house
of it ?"
"oh, no." said the major. as he carefully
reached the ground and looked innocentIy
around, Its an ice house"
'What?" screamed the agent.
