thence to this point, where the Indian used the
scalping knife, and where Br1tons fought for
the purpose of subjugating and dominating the
country. Passing along this beautiful valley
there appeared to my view scenery whose
grandeur came from the touch of Natures hand,

the civilization Of your people, with all that is
pleasant, gratifying, grand, and beautiful, with
churches dotting the hills and valleys, your

manufacturing establishments that are found
along your rivers, your production of soil, it
seems to me that our desire should be TO make
this peaceful country one in which man could
dwell with good. amicable relations forever. So,
too, in this grand State of New York, whenever
this country has been threatened in any way by
internal discussions hostile foe from without,

MIR. DANA's opposition to Cleveland de-
rives most significance from the fact that it
was not determined on until after due de-
liberation and when it became apparent that
Cleveland's election was impossible. Mr..
Dana did not begin to sneer at Hancock in
1880 until he realized the hopelessness of
his candidacy.
WAS it Carl Schurz who said, IN politi-
cal speech few years ago: only once
have slept in a side-room Of the Demo
cratic party and there have heard enough
not to vote Democratic ticket again in my
life. Yes, my hand shall wither before I
do so again" Is this the Carl Schurz who
not only will vote for Cleveland, but pub
