Senator Joe Hawley made brief but tell
ing speech. full of manly patriotism aud racy
humor He told some excellent stories and
his allusion to the tall, thin, slab-sided,
army chaplain, homely in the face, but true
and tender of heart, and always in the place
OF danger and of duty, who never failed to
speak feolingly aud earnestly against the sin
of tipping, but always carried canteen full
of the ardent" provoked storms Of laughter.
The general closed his remarks by leading
in the camp fire song of " Marching Through
Georgia." the chorus of which was given with

" SHOTGUN Solidity."

HENRY WATTERSON, OF Louisville, liddleS
whilst Rome is burning. lie talks free
trade whilst his'neXt.doo neighbor MURAT
HALsIEAD, Of Cincinnati. talks treason as
follows:
"There IS nothing that would have any
effect on the southern Democratic vote.
The Democratic politician, South want a
President to serve them in an executive
way, so 10 speak, and they care nothing
about his principles or his character, or his
personal appearance. II the shotgun So
ldity can be kept up in the Sojtb. the next
question Is whether the city OF New York
cannot be so handled rs to vote down the
remainder OF the State"
"There is nothing" quoth Mr.. HAL
sTRAD-not even the money the Republican
National Committee has on hand-"that
would have any effect on the southern De.
mocydtic rote." We commend this terse
sentence 10 the consideration Of the Ropub-
lican boosters in Virginia and elsewhere in
the South.
The "shot.gun solidity' of the South, as
Mr.. HALsTEAD terms it, is based upon the
.'hostie solidity" OF the North. The Re.
publican candidate for President Of the
United States is a northern man. The Re.
publican candidate for president is a
northern man. The Democratic candidate
for President OF the United States is a
northern man. The Democratic candidate
for Nico.Presidcnt is a northern man. These
few facts are significant. They testify that
the "Rebcls" have no prejudiccs that will
keep them from voting for a northern man
for high Office, but they testify as well that
the northern people baye become so satu-
rated with preiudices against the people of
the South that neither party dare TO run
southern man for either President or Vice.

Ter Of the Grand Army OF Albany, and u
well-known Republican. TO friend. also a
member OF the Grand Army OF the Re-
public
Dear sir,-I have been known to you for

r.ha.pnfl,n Schools.

Eight thousand children in the public
schools Of Richmond, two thousand In the
private schools. The City Fathers should
keep their eyes open. The publlc-school
system Is one that grows in favor year by
year wherever II Is tried. At first only a
small proportion Of the children OF school
fges are entered. Soon the number BEGINS
to Increase; and finally the system almost
monofolizes the business OF education.
The puelic-school system has been in
operation in Richmond for good many
vcsrs. II Is already much the strongest in
1uence here. Nothing can stand In its
wfy. No public man dares 10 oppose II.
let his popularity be what 10 may. And
yet we have heard it said that the City
Council. sppropriaies no more money the
public schools now than u did ten years
sgc. We are not quite sure that this state
mtnt Is true; but we are sure That
the patrons Of the schools would not be
plessed 10 know II 10 be true. There are,
II appears. out OF the 5000 white voters in
this city 5000 who patronize the public
schools these are the relative numbers Of
the children In public and private schools
and 1000 who do not; hut out OF these
