CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, Ill,
June G.-The fourth and critical day of
the Republican National Convention
opens with the public pulse beating with
painful intensity, fguratively speaking.
1t looks as though all Chicago had turned
out to look upon or wait for the event of
the day. black mass of human beings
line the lake front, and the streets lead
ing to the Exposition building are a jam.
Inside it is as bad if not worse
than last night For the first tine every
delegate was in his seat fifteen minutes
before the hour at which the Convention
will be called to order and from floor to
roof the vast building is packed like q
sardine box. The balloting will begin in
an hour. BY noon the contending forces
wild be firing their volleyS of ballots.
The situation remains exactly as it was
last night. The Ednrnds men are max
| ing supreme attempt to rally anti
| Blaine men to their standard, but they
don't rally worth cent.
| Ex-senator b lffee, who is sitting on
the edge of the platform, has just said to
the United Press agent that ii Blaine is
not elected by the third ballot he may be
considered beaten. The Blline men do
not fear ballot, but they do dread an
adjournment Immediately following a
ballot and an exhibition OF strength.
| The anti b aine programme is to get
show of hands, to feel Blaine's lines and
then force an adjournment for the pur-
pose Of coalition upon dark horse.
The signs at Ii O'Clock point to an in
tCnSely exciting struggle and the selec-
ton of B aine or dark horse before the
day is over.
"Our cry is "Anybody to beat Blaine"
says prominent Arthur manager who
has lust come in The floor is all confu-
sion. Nearly every delegation is caucuss-
ing. A score of coiored men are gathered
around Curtis and Roosevelt.
At 30 the Chairman assembled the
platform but seeing that the Convention
was not in mood for business settled
down in his seat the band struck up the
familiar stains of 'Down by the Swanee
RIVER" which was changed to Dixie and
every foot in the audience stamped the
refrain.
Silence was restored at last and Rev.
DR.. Scudder led in prayer.

the vote of each State was al
most drowned by the yells Of the
friends of the man from Maine. AS
the end was reached the yelling was ter
rifle, aud for a long time no announce
ment of the result could be made. Men
ran wildly out of the hall, the big crowd
on the street began to shout, hats and
umbrellas were hurled from the gal
leries, and in and outside the Convention
hall the scene was perfect picture OF
pandemonium.

The Man Pound hanging at Winnings Station.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
saw in THE TRIBUNE of February 7 COM
munication from H. Allspangh, Rock Rapids
Iowa. concerning a man found hanging near
Winnings Station, north of Atlanta.
! was on duty at atld near Winnings for sew
eral days ard made inquiries of citizens cen
corning him, aad came across person who
claimed to be q cousin of the deceased, ard
learned that he WAS good Union man and
had refused TO fight III the Confederate army
against the old flag.
He had been detailed for duty at different
stations along the railroad and was On duty at
Winnings Station when our army advanced,
and as tie rebels feared he would desert and
GO to the Union army, they determined to nang
him. So. during the night, he was conveyed
10 the top of the hill near the station and sus-
pended by the neck with a hickory withe. in a
thick wood on steep hillside, 10 small chest
nut tree that few years previous had by some
means been bent over, forming a natural hori-
zontal beam suitable for such purpose.
When | saw his remains, his flesh had beca
eaten by worms and nothing remained except
skin and bones. His skin was as black as a
negro's, aud only by the long straight hair
could any oHe tell that he was q white man.
His hat and shoes were lying upon the ground
near by. lie was taken down and buried by
some Uniou soldiers within few yards of the
spot of his execution / heard his name at the
time, but it has escaped my memory.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In last weeks paper / noticed for the first
time word from one of the members of my
old regiment, the 6lst O. WI In reply to
that comrade would say that to write up the
history of the 6lst o. v. V. |. would tax the
patience as well as the space of the editor,
and would interest only those of the regiment
who are subscribers to his paper. The 61st Ohio
was only one Of the many that did battle for
the right; its history only that of hundreds
of other organizations that went into service
in the early part Of the war and remained
until Is close. And will say right here that it
never had what we soldiers used to call a Z soft
thing" The regiment was mustered into serv-
ice about the lst Of April, 1862, at Camp Chase,
OHIO. and after guarding rebel prisoners until
the lst of May was ordered to report to General
Fremont, ut Strasbnrgh, Va. The news was
jjoyfully received by us, and we were soon en-
route for the South In due time we arrived at
New Creek, Va, on the B. & o. r. r., where we
disembarked. Then and there began our sol
der life in earnest. We had only played soldier
so far; now began with us what ended only in

Comrade L. b. Heald's reply to Comrade @.
B. Reese's inquiry is correct The flag OF the
59th Indiana infantry was the first and only
colors that foated from the State-House at
Jackson, Miss, as long as we held the place at
that time May IA, 1853 He made mistake
in the name OF one Of the guards. 1t was not
jeremiah H. Rickel, but my brother Adam H.
Rickel who was one Of the guards. He was
with his company till after the surrender of
Xicksburg, but was taken sick and died IN
Memphis Tenn, August 5, 1863. Company ID,
59th Indiana infantry, were the first Union
soldiers in Jackson, Miss. After the charge up
the ridge past the cotton gin, where we took
many prisoners and broke the enemy's line of
battle and routed them, we followed on the
deuble-quick till we got in the rayine where
General Mcpherson ordered halt and, as he
came riding along our line, we gave him cheer
after cheer. The halt was but for moment,
as the general thought the enemy would make
another stand at their fort. Company III, of
the 59th, was ordered in advance and deployed
as skirmishers. / was on the right of the COM
pany, and on the extreme right of General
McPherson's command, and was ordered TO
keep a sharp lookout for the enemy on the
right; ALSO for our soldiers, who were coming
in on our right. Just before we got to the fort
/ took in three rebel prisoners from my right
and handed them over to Captain John b.
Simpson, who sent them to the rear. under
other guards and ordered me to my place. We
passed through the fort and over rife pits till
we got near the city, when we rallied, and the
company marched into the city limits and
waited till our regiment came up. Soon after
we passed the fort our colors were sent TO the
State-House. Ny captain, j. E. Simpson. will
substantiate the above if he is still alive, and
hope he is.

in the same brigade with the old 21st Massa-
as well as the 35th Massachusetts,, 18th New
Hampshire, and the 48th and 51st Pennsyl-
vania ] well remember the charge of which
Comrade Walton speaks. We were marched
across the railroad aud beyond the depot to a
knoll, and formed line with bayonets fixed and
guns loaded. Just before daylight we were
ordered to charge and charge we did over the
top of knoll aud over into some picket fences,
which the Johnnies had flung up during the
night. Their fire was very hot. The 21st

With reference TO the warning of the white

error when he states that General Miles rode
out between the lines with white flag. Oscar
ID. Johnson, OF our battery Lwho now resides at

back and forth for a few minutes and Stone
