ALL FOR HANCOCK.
THE MEXICAN WAR VETERANS RECALL
THEIR BATTLES.

The Mexican War Veterans Asso-

capture OF the city OF Mexico by the
American army under General Win.

ganized in the year 1858, with u
membership Of over ono hundred
Their first President was the late Gen,
Joseph Hooker, who was succeeded by
Major Gen. James Shields. The pres.

W. Linn Tidball, President; Charles

Secretary, and VIM. Calligan, Treas.
urer. The association has been re-
duced by death to fifty members.
Twenty-Five of the survivors, with the
officers, took the halfpast one o'clock
boat to Coney Island recently, where
they enjoyed their annual reunion
and dinner at the Sea Beach Palace
Hotel.
President Tidball presided at the
table, He said that it gave him great
pleasure once more to join his old com
rades in arms. Such an occasion car
ried his mind back to tho days of his
early manhood, when he and they
marched into the enomy's country and
helped to achieve those brilliant victo-
ries that added lustre TO American
arms. "And now, comrades" said he,
"lall to, and while we enjoy the ban
quet, let us revive the memories of the
olden time"
Mayor ]. c. Alexander, being the
Oldest veteran present (6S years), be.
gan at once to recall the achievements
of the American army in Mexico. He
described with enthusiasm the victories
of Resaca de la Palma, Palo Alto, and
Cerro Gordo. But the old veterans
enthusiasm reached its height when he
began to talk of the storming of Cha
pultepec and Molino del Rey, the last
strongholds protecting tho city Of
Mexico. "And at Last" said he, "when
that handful Of audacious Americans
marched into the Grand Plaza of the
proud city of the Montezumas, did we
not feel proud?"
The company at the table cheered
the old veteran TO the echo.
President Tidball then arose to offer
a toast, Gentlemen" said he, 81 now
propose TO drink to the health of a
distinguished veteran of the Mexican
war; one who has since added undying
lustrc to his name by the great servi-
ces rendered to his country in tho war
of the rebellion, and who today is the
candidate of the great National party
OF the United States--Gen Winfield
Scott Hancock.
The speech was greeted with three
hearty cheers, and the toast was drank
with enthusiasm. Then the old vets,
forgetting their battles, began to talk
politics, They could not however,
disagree, for they were all Hancock
men. Not being able to find a politi.
cal opponent among his comrades, one
of the veterans asked a lady present
whom she favored for President 2
ooh, the ladies arc all for Hancock"
said she.
Many other toasts were drank, and
after the banquet the veterans strolled
about the beach until evening, when
they departed for home.

GARFIELD's REPUTATIoN.-The New
York Stats Zeitung, the leading Ger.
man organ in this country, in alluding
to the DeGolyer nominee, says:
"The Republican press is constantly
informing its constituents that Mr..
Garfield explained his actions in the
Credit Mobilier Swindle and demon
strated his entire innocence in that
stock bribery
whatever defense Mr.. Garfield had
or any justification OF bis conduct in
the matter, he had fully produced long
before the entire Republican and Dem.
ocratic press had branded him as q
corrupt official.
ave desire our Republican friends
to inform us when Mr. Garfield pro.
duced the evidence Of his innocence
subsequently to 1873 and 1874, the
period during which they condemned
his participations in that swindle in
unmeasured terms
"Alas the evidence IS not forthcom-
ing, circumstance we much regret,
for we should have cheerfully received
the same. We are Sufficiently imbued
with party spirit to believe in the utter
impossibility of electing Mr.. Garfield,
but we possess, most assuredly, more
patriotism to deprecate the nero pos
s!bility of placing in the Presidential
chair q man whose official conduct has
been condemned.
ain spite of the manifold corruption
existing in the land no one has as yet
been placed in nomination for the ex-
alted position of President whose name
has been associated with official dis.
honesty or whose public conduct has
ever been suspected of corruption.
alt is positive fact that Garfield
was known prior TO the Credit Mobil.
ier and DeGolyer jobs TO every mem.
Der of Congress and the lobbies as q
'Jobber", an outgrowth Of tho civil
war and the period of reconstruction.
Our ideas of propriety cannot be rec
onciled to the possibility of electing o
person of such antecedents, and we
cannot comprehend the act of those
German Republicans who would close
their eyes to the reputation of so un.
worthy a person, and permit the same
to remain unquestioned,
awe know that at least some of the
Representatives Of the German Repub-
lican press possess sufficient independ-
ence not to accept every one offered
for their suffrage"

COZ PALMER on GARFIELD
now THE LATTEs DESERTED THE BELEA
GUERED ARMY AT CHICKAMAUuUA,


Some mis-statements having appear.
ed regarding the speeches of Governor
Palmer, Of Illinois, wherein he speaks
OF Garfeld's record, we are permitted
TO copy from letter Of his to gentle.
man just what Governor Palmer
did say. As the Governor was ut
the front at the time his testimony will
be regarded as unquestionable by any
one who knows the high character Of
the man. The following is the ex.
tract
"ln one OF my speeches said, in
speaking Of General Garfield, that in
October, 1863, after our army was
checked at Chickamaugna and had
fallen back TO Chattanooga and was
confronted at all points south of the
Tennessee river by the rebel army
under General Bragg when our lines of
communication were Strengthened and
difficult and our supplies reduced, and
1t was apparent that nothing was left
for us but disastrous retreat or u
bloody battle, with our enemy in
position, General Garfield left us and
quit the army. He had the legal right
to abandon the bcleaguered army, but
his conduct demonstrated that he was
without soldierly instincts or sympa-
thies." Governor Palmer also men
toned the singular tact, that General
Garfield consented to abandon the COM
mand Of troops in the field, his own
regiment included, and accepted the
mere staff position which he held in
1868, and when he lett the army in
October of that year.

Such committee was appointed by the last

and met with great success. The damage
done by the cotton worm Is hundred-fold
greater than that wrought by the beetle
The worm was first known in the cotton belt
about 1916. but did not begin to makeitself
very troublesome until 1865. From that year
1t spread North until, In 1876, 1t had reached

COTTON ZTAOTORIES.

When our citizens contemplate tho extra
ordinary success which has attended, tho man
uincture Ut cotton In the South since the war.
It Is marvellous that thoy do not evince more
interest III the matter and take active stops
to make New Orleans what sho should be-
the greatest cotton manufacturing city In tho
world. With the vast cotton region tributary
to her, with abundance or cheap labor. which
could rapidly be eonverted into skilled labor,
with absolute freedom from taxation, thero IL
every reason why capital should seek invest
ment here In the manufacture OF our great
staple.
The city of Augusta, Ga, furnishes tho
most conspicuous example OF what can be- ac-
complished In this regard by enterprise
backed by intelligence and capital. and those
of our moncyed mon who have tholr funds In
vested In low nterest-bearing securities must
regard with envy the Stockholders In tho
cotton mills OF Augusta who with delightful
regularity draw their ten and twelve per
cent dividends, and contemplate with serene
satisfaction their stock, which cost them 500
per share, quoted ut $40 to $3.50. Lust year
the six cotton mills OF Augusta not only paid
dividends Of ten and twelve per cent, but put
aside In their sinking funds largo amounts for
enlarglng the factories and purchasing new
machinery.
There Is u large new factory now In course
Of erection and capitalists are preparing to
build there still another. to cost 100000
and to have $1,000 spndles. 1t Is estlm-
ated that this proposed factory will add
to the population OF the city about 5000
souls and pay out to It's employees Sl75, 900
per annum. Besidee what they consume in
manufacture the six mills now In operation
make market annually for 175.0o0 bales Of
cotton, which requires tho enormous sum OF
S., 900 600 to handle. +-.
With such facts and figures before them, 1t
would seem that no other Inducements would
be required to make our people who have
money to invest enthusiastic In the matter OF
building cotton factories. Twelve per cent
per annum Is unquestionably more Inviting
than per cent, and yet we continue to wit
ness the very remarkable fact of a people who
are fond of making money clingng with low
ing fondness to United States bonds instead
OF making more remunerative Investments.
We confidently anticipated large influx here
OF Northern and Western capital just as soon
as 1t comes to be fully understood that the
new constitution of this State exempts manu-
factories from taxation, and doubtless when
foreign enterprise and business sagac!ty has
pointed the way, our own people will then
wake up to realization OF their inertness.
The two cotton mills now In operation here
are doing finely, and paying handsome div
idends on the amount invested.

Judge Kelley. sometimes known as Pig Iron
Kelley, because he Is from tho iron district
of Pennsylvania, and Is one Of the most
jealous supporters and defenders Of the duty
on iron, has a plan to wipe out our national
debt In twenty-seven years. tic proposes to
maintain the sinking fund, and purchase and
cancel one twenty-seventh OF our redeem
able bonds every year. This will necesstate
m annual revenue for this purpose OF S3s.-
2lD, $3.50, exclusive Of interest. This will not
be a severe burden to the country. Kelley
thinks. and Is ono that can be borne by 1t just
now during the present era OF prosperity. It
is charged, on the other hand. that kelley's
scheme Is engineered III favor of the pig-iron
interests he Is SO Jealous Ia defending. and
that he Is anxious for the government to I'M
dertake to pay out q large sum Of money
like this each year, because he knows that 1t
will prevent any reduction In duties by Con-
