all eager to tell Of the many Democrats they have
heard declare their intention of voting for him at the
next election, and that it was their full expectation
that North Carolina would carry for the Republican
ticket in November. [Great Applause.
| have admired the platform that received the APP
proval of the Chicago convention as embodying inn
portant purposes in our national policy and there is
much to admire and approve in the resolutions and
platform that were laid out and approved with such
unanimity by the convention to-day. As for myself,
l should have been highly pleased if another plank
or two could have been put in touching the damage
that was done by the Democratic party to the con-
stitutional amendment at the last session OF the
Legislature, but when | look to the plank in our plat
form touching upon the amendment TO the Constitu-
ton | see there a provision that will set at liberty
every order of mind.
l have always admired the success with which the
Republican party has embodied in platform and in its
principles the purposes of the Christian people of this
country, so that all classes ofloyal citizens are brought
into harmony in carrying ont its purposes, and it
would not be safe for our party, constituted as the Re
publican party is, that this should be otherwise. The
Christian people are the salt of the earth, and ever Will
be, and whatever party shall enter upon a policy that
they cannot approve, will end their political exist
ence.
Indiana has made great progress in the work of
education. l have watched that progress, taking a
practical interest in the work as it has developed from
the beginning until now. Our Normal School eds had
a grand and enviable history. 1t has not a superior
in America or IN Europe, but / have looked from the
commencement to the time when we could increase
these facilities for the professional instruction OF cur
teachers. 1t will be my purpose so soon as 1t can be
made practicable to encourage State patronage to in
troductory normal schools in different parts of our
State, so as to eeonomjZe the expenses oflour teachers
and diminish the time necessary for their course CT
study in the State Normal School at Terre Haute.
Co~mplimenting in a very felicitous style Mr..
Coffin, who gave him such a close race, Mr..
Hobbs concluded his remOrks amid great APP
plause.
The convention then adjourned, with three
cheers for the National and State ticket and
Stanton J. Peelle, 'the next Congressman from
this district as a delegate from Hancock said,
and the delegates marched out of the hall while
the band played Marching through Georgia"

The G. 4. H. Fair.--The upper hall
Of Odd Fellows Opera House was
never more gaily decorated than for
the festive occasion which terminated
last evening. The long festoons, pro-
fuse draperies of national colors and
brilliant display of goods made an at
tractive resort. Much time and labor
had been spent in preparation by the
committee of Thoburn Post in charge
and no reasonable expense was spared
10 make the occasion thoroughly en-
joyable as well as successful. We be-
lieve the results in every respect just
ify the outlay. The arrangements and
conduct of tho Fair were superb. The
large numbers which nightly thronged
the hall were generally we'll handled.
Every want was met by ample supplies
of refreshments. The servitors and
walters were polite and attentive. The
military evolutions showed that the
spirit of 6l-65 had not worn out or be-
come effete under the frictions of in
tervening years. Gallant and soldier
like, the exercises recalled the days of
drill and dress parade.
Among the other entertaining feat
ures were sciopticon views of army life
and comic scenes war songs, etc.
Tuesday evening two carloads of
visitors came up from Cumberland.
Added to the crowd furnished by our
own place the capacity and strength
of the hall were fully tested.
Wednesday evening the awards e
prizes were made. Mr.. Patrick Cronin,
of this vicinity, securing the elegant
silk quilt, and Mrs. w. H. Koch the
splendid silk pillow. A number of
minor articles were also disposed of.

Eastern Tiecs of the C00I TRADE

NEW YORK.-Ihere Is reported a
quiet market ON bituminous Goals,
and the prices one hears in making
the rounds, are very low; when such
figures can be named it is evident
there must be some way of getting
out even, for no operator is likely to
sell his coal below the actual cost of
mining (supposlng the tolls to be as
promulgated by the carrying COM
/; pany.) There are so many qualities
of soft coal being offered, and the
prices are so favorable that one
would naturally expect to see the
tonnage of the anthracite operators
more cut into than it is.-Coal Trade
Journal.
The struggle for steamer contracts
continues, but is now drawing to a
close. Some of them have been
taken at $3.50, and there are rumors
that the basis of some was $40.
We notice that one of the Hudson
river ferries is using bituminous
coal.
PHILADELPHIA.-The active COM
petition of bituminous coal is likely
to continue a disturbing factor for
some time to come or at least until
bottom prices have been reached.
The bituminous field, even with all
the business that has been done, is
not working more than two thirds
time. This condition of things is
anomalous, considering the fact that
Western, Southern, and Eastern mar
kets are comparatively bare Of stocks.
The long heads in the trade predict a
squirt of activity as soon as The trade
settles few difficulties and finds out
exactly how it stands, Bituminous
operators themselves say that every
thing is dull, although it is known
that they have closed large contracts,
and a number of others are in nego-
tiation and likely to be closed any
day or hour. There is a really sense
less struggle for the business that is
to be had. The wiser operators are
holding off and letting those who are
willing to sell at or below cost have
the trade. The trade is reported by
p number Of large and small opera
tors to be in a very unsatisfactory
condition.
BosToN.-The soft coal market is
pretty nearly at q standstill. Nearly
every stable contract has been taken
by the watchful jobbers. With all
their watchfulness, however, it seems
that one Cumberland concern had
quietly placed, as far back as the
middle Of January, about 100000 tons
to a pool made up of the Providence
railroad, two local sugar retineries,
and several mills, without its being
made public until recently. Such
pools have been successfully engineer
ed before. 1t was doubtless thought
that, in this year Of close competition,
one would not be attempted. 1t is
stated, however, that, as the contracts
were made early, very good figures
were realized as compared with cur
rent rates. They are understood to
have been below the market at the
time they were made. This pooling
plan was tried last year with i'll sue
cess. How much more business has
been done on the quiet remains to be
discovered. 1t must be very little.
Present business continues in cargo
lots at about 81 delivered. Engineer

who aided and contributed to it.
A very fine poem by q resident of
Frostburg will round up this imperfect
sketch and elicit praise for its author
At the Grand Army" Fair.
With the girl / left behind met is twenty
years, and more,
Since that summer morning, Charlie when
we stood in line before
All the townsfolk, met to speed us as we
proudly marched away
Boys in blue, with high hearts going forth
from boyhood's home that day
Speed Us on with parting blessings, kisses,
tears and many prayer
With the girl left behind me, am at the
Soldiers Fair
Twenty years and more, old conrade, since
we marched away to fight;
All, how few Of us to answer, if the roll We're
called tonight!
Shadowy forms and ghostly voices stand i'll
line and answer AYE"
AS with aching heart ! mur,nur names of
some we left to die
In the trenches at Manassas, by the fur Poto-
mac shore,
Almost ere we grew familiar with the sound
of battles roar.
Down along the Rappahannock, in the awful
Wilderness;
In the shadow of grim Round Top winning
dearly bought success
Here and there we sadly left them--tresh-
checked boys and stalwart men,
Sleeping there among the thickets, never to
know war again.
Side by side ne marched, together wrote our
cheerful letters home
To the dear ones waiting for us till the long
wars end should come.
Here amid the crowds gay laughter, flowers
sweet and faces fair
With my wife beside me, Charlie, am at the
Soldiers Fair.
But live again in memory those last hours
passed with you -
Twas the night before battle, and we watched
the whole night through,
While the moonlight struggled softly mong
the branches of the trees
Gus Southern breeze;
And we lay with upturned faces to the friend
ly star-sown blue,
Whispering, each to each, Il message TO the
girl each loved so true,
Knowing not if on the morrow choice Of fate
should fall on me.
Or if for yonr sake wild mourning in the far
off home should be.
"Killed IN action''-so the record. brief and
glorious, reads for you;
Where the fight was raging fiereest and the
grape-shot thickest flew
Falling in young manhood's beauty. pure of
heart and brave of soul
All, hear your eager answer as tonight l
call the roll
Home l brought the cruel tidings, and the
bonny chestnut curl,
Last for token from her soldier TO his well
loved blue-eyed girl.
Married long ago and settled, changed TO gray
her golden hair;
But tonight fancied, Charlie, as ! watched
her at the Fair,
l. stening to the martial music with dreamy,
wistful face,
That her thoughts, like mine, were strayng
TO that distant, lonesome place,
Where mid silence long unhroken by the
tread of any feet,
Rests the tenderest and truest, braVest heart
that ever beat.
Sleep on there in peace, old comrade Soon
or later We, like you,-
LIES brief battle done-shall listen for the
welcome last tattoo.
So l wait until the morning when the revelle
shalt sound
Calling us to joyful meeting on another camp
ing ground.
