Grand and Enthusiastic Repu b.
lican Ratification Meeting at
the National Capital.
Ringing Speeches Made by Senator's
Sherman, Hawley, Malone, Har

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The republi-
can ratification meeting tonight fully
met in all respects the most ardent ex-
pectauons. The crowd was enormous,
completely filling the great space in
irons of the City Hall. Ii might be
placed anywhere from 10, 900 TO 10000
according to the enthusiasm of the per-
sons making the estimate. Probably
that ELUSIVE Nebraska boomer at Chic
ago. who had his white stovepipe hat
painted red after the nomination of
Blame, would put the figure at 10000
Il will be sufficient to say that there
was multitude OF people, m.ny more
than were able to hear any of the three
speakers who occupied three different
stands at the same time. The decora-
tons were elaborate and tasty. High
up on the front of the buildings werl
displayed large portraits of Blaine and
Logan, and below them 1.-The Peoples

ran might read. The.e was q profuse

the people here do not vote, yet the
enthusiasm in Washington does not
/ count except as it flows out in many
little channels TO irrigate the country,
but the public pulse at the National
| capital with its representatives from
every section, is very correct test of
the general feeling among the people at
large.

ground until there is danger of their

By digging early, you can have your

By harvesting potatoes promptly, you
can keep the ground clean. 1t is not con-

hills while the potatoes are setting. But

unhealthy. The horse is shut up in a
narrow stall, battered so that variety of
motion is impossible; either without
light. or with windows so placed that he
can see nothing that is going on day or
night. 1t is solitary confinement in cell
If he is worked regularly this is not SO
very bad; but gentlemen's horses. often
for DAYS, and sometimes for weeks, are

fed regularly and grows fat, men think
that he is well cared for.
What shall be said of the holes, the
mere cupboards, the cellars, in cities. in
which horses are shut up? These things
are seldom or never alluded to, and only
that is cried out against which amounts to
blows or deprivation of food, or forced
work when feeble or sick. These things
cannot be remedied by mere law. They
require that men be taught to cherish
kindly feeling, tenderness, toward the
whole animal kingdom beneath man.
Next to the dog. the horse is organized
with susceptibilities like the human race.
He is conscious of good treatment, is
greatful for it; is wounded by bad treat
