want 20 hear from my comrades Of the old
Weitzel brigade. We started out from Camp
Kearney, View Orleans, ia the fall of 1863. and
were together until we came home on veteran
furlough. There is no one of that brigade who
will ever forget the long marches through the
rain and mud, the heat and cold, and the bat
ties in which we participated until we left
Louisiana for Virginia, in July, 1864. Com

TO halt within a few yards of the works. We
held our position al day, and kept the battery
silent, and just at night we were relieved and
rejOined our brigade. In doing so we marched
back over the ground that we crossed IN the
morning, and there We saw what the day had
cost us. Our comrades lay dead, wounded, and
dying. We viii never forget those days.

THE NOMINEES.

THERE can be no question that the
nomination of James G. Blaine, ofMaine.
is the most popular that could be made
for the masses of the Republican party.
We believe that if the sentiment of the
Republican voters of the nation could be
taken, that the vast majority would re-
cord their preference for Blaine. There
has never been, since the days of Clay
and Lincoln, a statesman who had gained
so dear a place in the hearts of the voters
of his party. In Blaine there are very
many fine qualities to admire. He is a
thorough American in feeling and states
manship-if we except his career in
finances. 1t is a great point against him
that his exact position on finances is not
known. This was indicated on Wall
street yesterday, when, by reason of the
fact that the nomination of
Blaine seemed assured, stocks went down
and the market closed weaker than for
some time since. This is caused by the
fact that the moneyed men are at sea as
to what Blaine would do regarding
finances, and also because a foreign war is
not at all improbable, with Blaine in the
Presidential chair. OF course this suits a
large number of enthusiastic Republicans,
but it is a pill for the moneyed men,
1t has been known for years that Blaine
has favored a foreign war. He has been
nominated. Would it not be natural for
him to conclude that his party also favors
war, and that was why he was nominated?
Could he not plead in ~extenuation of
war, that he was nominated on that issue,
and that a war must be had at whatever
cost? The people of Wall street think
so, hence the drop in stocks Yesterday.
In our judgment, there are several
Democrats who can carry New York over
Blaine, and there is one who can be elect
ed over Blaine; he is Samuel j. 1ilden.
Tardy justice will be done Tilden, and he
will make a good, safe President.
Logan undoubtedly adds some strength
to the ticket, if for no other reason than
that he had been looked upon as a Pres
idental aspirant, He has many warm
friends and as many bitter enemies as any
public man in the country.
, 1884-06-07

By this presentation it will be observed
that the Democrats lack only three votes
of those necessary TO elect. Should Til
den or Governor Cleveland or Flower be
the nominee of the Democracy, any of
them can carry New York state beyond
the possibility of doubt. In the states
classed as doubtful, Tilden has heretofore
carried Connecticut and Indiana, and he
could very probably do so again, 1t
doesn't seem to be a very cold day for the
Democracy after all.
, 1884-06-07

Mr.. ARTHUR will probably pay atten-
ton TO business now, and send us a Judge.
By the way-ifhe is as good a Republican
as he claims to be, he will obey the dictum
of the party platform, and appoint resi-
dents of territories to fill territorial offices.
In that case Mr.. Corlett will certainly be-
come Chief Justice.
, 1884-06-07

The facility with which a goodly num-
Der Of our Cheyenne friends in the Re
publican party can change their political
spots is Interestingly funny. Yesterday
morning sun rose upon a noble band of
loving admirers of Arthur. Where are
they now, and where's the Sum?
, 1884-06-07

Tn the unwritten law of American
politics that no senator shall leave his seat
to go to the White House. No vice
president who succeeds to the presidency
because Of the death of the president,
shall be re-nominated. Arthur and
Logan can lay this hattering JUNCTION to
their souls.

at Chicago. The Republicans here were
almost unanimously for Blaine. The two
delegates were for Arthur, however, in
