The first memorial shafts to be
placed on the historic battle fields of
Winchester and Cedar Creek, Va,
will be those erected by the eighth
Vermont. The monuments will be
of handsome granite or marble, the
gift of Col. Herbert E. Hill, of Bos-
ton, who was a member of the eighth,
and heard the first and last gun fired
in those important battles. General
Stephen Thomas, the old commander
of the regiment, will superintend the
placing of the monuments. The
shaft on the battle field of Winches-
ter will stand on the spot where the
regiment faced the enemy for nearly
an hour, losing heavily in killed and
wounded, after which it fixed bayo-
nets and under the lead of Gen.
Thomas made desperate bayonet
charge, driving the enemy and hold
ing every inch Of ground gained.
Mr.. Greeley, in his history of the
war, makes especial mention of this
charge. Al Cedar Creek the regi-
nent again distinguished itself A
member of the regiment on picket
captured the first rebel skirmisher as
the enemy attacked our lines. The
regiment was nearly surrounded by
a rebel division, the colors shot down,

it in the face did it fall back.-EG-

"Who can carry New York? ?" That
is the question heard more and more
as the campaign advances, and it
will be the great one for the conven-
ton to ask and to answer. Carrying
New York is simply carrying COM
paratively small number of intelligent
and indedendent voters in the state,
and the wise answer to the question
is nothing more nor less than naming
a fit candidate. There is no chance
that boss work will prevent the doing
of this-and for that let all rejoice
but OF course a good many other
things may. A body of $40 men,
even such intelligent giants as are
sent to national conventions, is sub
iect to some of the weaknesses of the

THE NOMINATION.

The movement for the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine at Chicago already di-
vides the republican party as danger
ouslv as that for the nomination of
General Grant divided it in 1880.
The republicans who are urging his
nomination can not be blind to the
consequences should the nomination
be made. They must see that it
would be suicidal, because they know,
as every republican knows, multitudes
of the most earnest and intelligent
republicans everywhere in the coun-
try who do not hesitate to say open
ly that they would not vote for him,
while the secession Of the great bulk
of the independent voters would be
assured, and the grounds of this res
olute and plain-spoken hostility are
perfectly we'll known to the most az
dent supporters of the Blaine nomi-
nation.
To the deep and strong republican
protest against an action which must
necessarily jeopardize the election it
is childish to reply that the majority,
should it prove to be such, does not
yield to the minority. 1t is far from
clear, indeed, that the majority will
desire the Blaine nomination. But
even in the event that it does so,
what then? The great object is, not
to obtain a nomination, but to secure
an election. The far end obvious
probabilities of the election are as
much to be regarded as the possiOili-
ty of carrying the nomination. If a
large body of republicans declare that
they could not support certain NOM
nation, it may be true that they take
q ground which makes party organ
ization and action impossible, and that
they ought not as party men to re-
fuse to accept the decision of the
party majority. But it is equally
true that without their votes success
is impossible. There is no use in
wasting time and breath in swearing
at such impracticability. A nomina-
ting convention should deal practi-
cally with the situation, and ask
whether, if certain nominations are
sure to convulse and divide the party
and hazard the result, there are not
other candidates who would heal all
differences, and whom every man
who would support the republican
nomination at all would willingly sus.
tain.
The extreme danger of the Blaine
nomination would lie in the immedi
ate and final alienation of independ
ent republicans and of independents
This would be due to various causes
and among them to the fact that they
hold Mr.. Blaine to be a representa-
tive of those methods in politics
which are one of the great evils to b,
corrected, and because he is who'll,
unknown to them as a friend to re
form. His nomination would be &C
cepted by them as the deliberate de
cision of the republican party to max
Mr.. Blaine its representative man
This, in turn, would be regarded a
an abandonment of reform and o
purer politics, and it would unques
tionably persuade great many vot
ers who have been always among TIL
most strenuous and intelligent repuh
licans that the time had come to &C
quiesce in republican defeat and dis
indignation in order to force a recon
struction of parties upon actual Twin
issues.-Hdyper's Weekly.

MEMORIAL DAY.

In compliance with General Orders No.
10, Headquarters Grand Army of the Re-
public, the Posts in this department will
observe on May 30th next, the beautiful
and appropriate custom of strewin9 with
flowers the last resting places OF our de-
parted comrades.
In the observance of Memorial Day the
Grand Army of the Republic not only
shows that it remembers with gratitude
and love those of our comrades who died
that the nation might live, but it also
teaches the youth of our land lessons of
patriotism and devotion to duty which
caused the men of 1861 and 1865 to
offer up their lives on the altar of theil
country.
The Rules and Regulations allow eacf
Post to arrange in its own way the oh
servance of the day; but it is recommend
ed that the exercises be as public as pos
sible, and that organizations, schools anC
the public generally be invited to partici
| pate.
! 1t is also recommended that on thu
Sabbath preceding Memorial Day arrange
ments be made with the local clergy 70
special Memorial service, and that il
towns where there are no Posts, citizen
and soldiers unite and observe the day
so that the grave of every soldier burr e
within our commonwealth shall be re
membered with its tribute Of nation
gratitude.
Comrades, let Us remember that it
particularly our day, that for the influenc
it leaves behind very much depends upo
ourselves, and that if <ye show by OF
conduct that it is day sacred to to ha
lowed memories, and free from the e,
cesses which have sometimes married il
observance, we shall surely exert an Il
fuence which will make the day what
was designed to be-a day not only f,
remembering our comrades who al
mustered out, but time to care for thos
they left behind who need our assistanc

The Chicago Tribune is pleased to
remark that "the Edmunds presiden-
tial glacier-for so cold q man as the
Vermont Senator could not be said
to have a boom-slid forward a few
feet yesterday" To which the Bos-
ton Herald adds 'the comparison is
better than its author knew in some
ways. A glacier is irresistible for
one thing. Nothing can stay it. 1t
pulverizes whatever gets in its way
as the proprietors of several friable
presidential booms have already dis
covered. If cold, the glacier is pure.
A river of ice is more admirable than
a river of mud. There is something
majestic and even inspiring about the
slow-moving, but resistless mass OF
crystal. We recommend to those who
are in its path to beware of the Ed
munds presidential glacier .

would have been assured by the open

that is fast slipping from their grasp.

Corn on WORKOUT Land.-I used bar
rel of Bradley's Phosphate last spring on
an acre ofvery badly worn out and gray
ely land, which planted with corn. The
land in fact was SO badly reduced that /
should have had very little hope of hav-
ing crop of any kind worth harvesting
without the Phosphate; but got an ex-
cellent crop of well-ripened corn, forty
five bushels, although it was planted the
last day of May, and the season, on ac-
count of very early frosts, was very
short one. So marked a result was quite
unexpected to me, and was subject OF
continued remark and observation on the
part of many Of my neighbors, who had
invested in another phosphate with results
very insignificant. They all agree that
Bradley's is the Phosphate to buy. Ed

Twenty Miles of Railroad to be Operated
b. the Subtle Fluid.
CLEVELAND. o.. July 2S.-The first com
mercially successful electric street railroad
in America was started in operation in this
city to-day by the East Cleveland Street
Railroad Company, who have just completed
a mile of road and ran cars on it to-day for
the first time. The experiment was so sue
cessful that the company expect to change
their entire system comprising over twenty
miles, into electric railroads. The system
used was combination Of the Brush and
Knight L Bentley systems, and the
current was carried on underground
conductors, laid in conduits, like those Of a
cable road. The cars were started and
stopped and reversed with the greatest ease,
and without the dissgreesble jerking incl
dent to the cable and horse roads The
economy of running is claimed to be great
er than that Of the cable roads, and the
cost of construction less than one-third as
great ANY number of cars up to fifteen
can be run at one time On q single circuit,
and from one machine, which is result
not attained by any OF the European sys-
TENS now in operation. The success of the
new road has made great sensation in
both street railroad and electrical circles,
and is expected 10 greatly extend the field
of electrical development as well as to en-
hanee the value of street railroad proper

Wells. The Republicans of Parkersburg
are making preparations TO entertain their
bretheren who are expected here to attend
the State Convention on the 30th. The
boys intend to paint the town red on Tues
day night From 'present indications the
convention will be large one. However,
it is the opinion of great many that ow-
ing to the fact that about all the most i'm
portant nominations were made at the Buck
hannon Convention by the Greenbackers and
a few of the Republicans, the interest which
otherwise would have been centered IN the
convention, is lacking among the masses OF
the party over the State, and the represen-
tatiOn viii not be large. Again 1t is urged
that there is disposition on the part OF the
Republican masses to annul this contract
with the Greenbackers and nominate a
straighout ticket of their own, and they are
coming in force for that purpose. The air
is full OF rumors, and no one can safely
predict the result. The majority of Park
ersburg Republicans are for fusion in &C
cordance with the original agreement enter
ed into by the Grafton conference. If Bar
bee is not agreed upon for Congress by the
conference WHICH meets here on the day
preceding the State Convention, then it is
most likely that Charley Smith, of Wood
county, will have the empty honor Of max
ing the race with Gibson. Capt. Smith
would carry Wood county by 500 majority.

pressed their intention Of supporting him If
