It is claimed that the senatorial togas
of Illinois have been united into one
garment for political purposes in an
offensive and defensive alliance against
certain other factions OF the party in
that state. If the grave and reverend
senators would devote more time to
uniting the party lines and less to
riding factions down, they would find
their cups oftener right side up when
it rains political porridge.

The leading braves of the Democra

The leading braves of the Democratic
tribe joined with the Iroquois club of
Chicago last Friday evening in celebrat-
ing the birthday of Jefferson, who will
be remembered as the person that gave
the party the major portion of the prin-
ciples which it has done so much to
forget. The occasion was marked
with the usual passage of the blazing
Boyne, the consumption of havannas,
and the usual ''talks" from the great
braves in attendance. Notwithstand-
ing the persuasive influences of the
gurgling firewater the visiting states

His august and high mightiness, the
autocrat of all the Russias, is again en-
veloped in a maze of hating hesitancy,
produced by the threats of the wicked
Nihilists to make his crown immortal
the moment he dares to allow its bril-
liant circle TO rest on his august brow.
1t has been asserted that ''uneasy is the
head that wears a CROWN but in this
case the crown Is absent, yet the symp.
toms of uneasiness are more pronounced
than if it had been assumed, from which
it appears that longing begets fully as

A Washington item states Hanlon, the
oarsman, sis pulling fifteen miles and
walking twelve daily 1t is not quite
apparent why Mr.. Hanlon should per-
sist in pulling such long distance after
him every day, and then we should
think the people would object to having
whole sections of their country msved
about in this cratic manner at the mere
notion of stranger. Besides it must
result in some queer complications as
to the ownership of property unless Mr..
Hanlon is particular to replace the fif-
teen miles just in the spot it stood
when he started. Altogether this would
appear most unsatisfactory and tire
some way of training.

At Reunion of the Forty Ohio volun-
teer infantry, held near Columbus. Ohio, last

In this direction. On the 18th inst. this COM

Feeling that this same desire will be shared by

making known this our action in the matter, with
the hope and expectation that il viii meet with 8
similar response from the rest of the regiments
In order, however, to further the object in view,
we take the liberty Of suggesting the propriety of
holding preliminary meeting at some inter-
mediate point-say at Chicago. ILL.,, on the Goth Of
July next, at the Grand Pacific Hotel of repre-
sentatives from the different commands for the
purpose of jointly considering the project and IL
it be deemed expedient, to then fix the date and
place for the Reunion, and appoint committees To
successfully carry out the programme It IS arenty
desired to hear from you at upon this subject
and to have your opinion in reference thereto; also
TO know whether the above named time and place
for the preliminary meeting snits your eonveni-
ence, and whether you may be expected 70 be-
there. We cannot but indulge the feeling thas Wa
viii be heartily seconded in this undertaking, and
that it will lead to occasion of great Joy and

CONNECTICUT.

Robinson" Hartford, Conn, who has been
chosen by his Post a correspondent of The
TRIBUNE, writes US as follows We are a band
of comrades, numbering about 100, who hold a
charter bearing the No. /, but are known in
official circles as Nathaniel Lyon Post, No. 2,
Department of Connecticut We are enlisted
for the war, and confidently hope to be the last
TO be mustered out. In connection with our
Post organization VIC have an auxiliary, known
as the Woman's Relief Corps. The ladies had
been at work for some time raising the neces-
sary fund wherewith TO purchase flag for the
Post, and, having accomplished their object,
the flag was bought and on the 18th inst was
presented to the Post in one of our large public
halls IN the presence of an audience of about
LOCO people. Theadmirable presentation speech
was made by Miss augusta Heise, daughter of
one of our comrades. 1t reminded US of 1851
'62, and we felt as enthusiastic over the event
as when we took the colors to 90 forth and do
battle for our countrys honor. After Miss
Heise, Miss Fay, the President of the Woman's
Corps, also made fine address. The flag was
received with thanks by Commander Fay who
called upon Comrade John r. Sloane to make
the speech of acceptance, which he did in a
happy manner. The flag is of silk, five by
eight feet, heavily fringed with yellow, and
mounted on rosewood staff, tipped with gilt
eagle. After the presentation ceremony was
concluded, the order of dances was taken up
and we tripped the Eight fantastic" until
1890 a. M, 1T which time we dispersed, feeling
that we had had the best Grand Army party
ever held in Hartford.
Comrade John E. Bassett, Danielsonville,
Conn, writes us that he has been appointed
TRIBUNE correspondent by McGregor Post,
No. q, of that place. On the oath inst. the
Post gave its first Campfire. Rev. ]. II. James,
formerly chaplain of New Jersey regiment,
will deliver the address On Memorial Day.
