A MESSAGE EROM A DEAD MAN.
Words From u Grecnville Soldier.
Killed More than Twenty Years
Ago. ra
lFro,n the Daily News.1

The mail yesterday brought to
The News office letter and enclos
ed from j. G.. Mcclure, OF Chester,
:. G. The enclosure consists of a
time worn sheet Of unrulcd letter
paper with the verses and intro
duction given below written in ink
the writer being evidently an un-
practiced penman although the
writing is plain enough. I :.
The history Of the document is
q strange one. The verses are sup
posed to have been written by a
member Of company from this
city attached to the 9th regiment
who was killed at the battle of
Dranesville, Va. They were taken
from his body by a Federal soldier
and copied. by him, probably to be
sent home. The Federal was kill
cd at Seven Pines and the copy
taken from his body and given to
Maj. Mcclure who sent it to his
home in Chester, S. c., with pen
ciled directions for their publica-
tion. He found it few days ago
while rummaging among his old
papers.
1t ought to be easy to identi-
fy the original writer Of the verses.
The local allusions indicate clear
Iy that he was from this city, and
other illusions shows that he was
probably one of the congregation
Of the Episcopal church, and an
only son.
If any Of his friends are here
now and can identify him, it will
complete very remarkable chain
ofcircumstances-a message. com
ing through two dead men on OPP
posite sides in the great conflict,
and reaching Che home Of the wri-
Ter after twenty three years.
The following are the contents
Of the sheet Of paper:

The Foe Of Great Britain.


In England It is difficult for us TO contem.
plate the approaching struggle with undiy ided
sympathy for either party. On the ono hand,
the Democrats have, since the days OF Jerer.
q deep rooted hostility TO this country. AS a
pro'slavery party they always commanded the
Irish vote, which permitted them TO show no
favor toward Great Britain. With the disap-
pearance OF slavery tho Democrats have lost
one OF their great grievances against England
as the head.center OF abolition, and their lean.
Ing toward free trade-although littlo likely 10

other hand, have been consistently tust and
unaggreesiye In their foreign policy during
their long tenure OF office, aud the sympathy
conduct OF the civil war, their resumption OF
specie payments, their firm and enlightened
maintenance OF the public credit, aud the
steady reduction OF tho national debt, has
been accorded TO them without etlnt. on a
sudden, however, they have chosen for their
Presidential candidate statesman who glor-
les In his Jealousy or England; who inter.

that upon this side OF the Atlantic we should

plumed Knight-as his followers designate
him-who has Just been nominated at Ohi-
cago. Mr.. Blaine is Objectionable to many as

Ex-Governor THOMAS A. HENDRICKS
has long enjoyed the soubriquct of being
"The Great American Fences -Straddlor" /"
His platform adopted yesterday by tho
Democratic State Convention entities him
to another medal for his proficiency In that
fine American political art. We arc salts.
fed that he drew the platform, for the
reason that there is not another man in the
United States who can be on all sides Of
every question at one and the same tlmo
and yet on neither.
AS an evidence Of the expertnoss OF Mr.
Hendricks in the art Of straddling, we re-
produce one or two samples from the plat
form adopted yesterday. The first paragraph
in the first plank reads as follows:
We insist: that the Federal taxes be 70.
duced 10 the lowest point consistent with ofIi-
cheney In public service, and we demand re-
vision and reform OF tho present unjust tarin. /.
The Constitution of the United States, which 10
the only source Of taxing power, confers upon
Congress tho right to establish q tariff for
revenue, and as 1uet exercise Of that powor
we favor such an adjustment OF its provisions
within the revenue standard as VIII relieve,
as far as possible, the nocessaries OF life
from the burdens Of taxation and derive the
principal amount OF revenue for the support
OF the Government economically adminis-
tered, from luxuries, and such tariff should be
adjusted without favorftlsm so as TO prevent
monopoliee, and thus, In effect promote labor
and the Interests Of the laboring people OF the
United Btates."
The taxes must DO reduced to the very
lowest point possible, and that, too, regard
less Of favoritism, according to the above
declaration. But read the next declara-
ton:

oppose Blaine on account of his personal
unworthiness, but the true reason is that
they are in favor Of a British and opposed
to an American policy. The people are
getting these fellows down fine, and for

will gain dozen from the real American
yeomanry. America for Americans aud

THE New York Times and other anti
Tammany Democratic papers have ciphored
all around the compass again, and have got
back to Cleveland once more, who, they
say, will surely be nominated at Chicago.
By the Great Horn Spoon, we hope the
Times is right in its predictions. We can
knock the spots Off that nomination with
out any trouble Whatever. Indeed, the
the Democrats will do it for US. Cleveland
can't poll the Democratic strength in New
York by $4,000 votes at least. If they
want to suit the Republicans, let them
nominate Cleveland.
