Grand army men are very much in
tercsted in the following letter writ
ten BY Capt. Frederick Whitaker of
Port Chester, Westchester county,
coming out for Blaine. The captain
was a lifelong Democrat, and was
president of a Cleveland aud Hen
bricks club. He was commanding
officer of one Of the best cavalry COM
panies that went from the state of
New York to aid in the preservation
of the union. His command was COM
pany A. Fifth New York Volunteers.
John X. Fellows, Democratic assist
ant district attorney of New York
and colonel in the rebel army, is the
"chief agent" referred to in Captain
Whittaker's letter. The text of the
letter, which is addressed to the West
chester Record, is as follows:

helped to organize the first Cleveland
aud Hendricks club in This town, and
was invited to make the opening
speech of the campaign AT the ratifica-
q. q
2sth Of July last.
The scene | witnessed at that meet
ing has made such an indelible impress
sion on my mind that am compelled,
after pause for full aud careful re-
Election, to make the public declara-
ton that, "from henceforih leave the
Democratic party. as at present con-
stituted, forever"
NV reasons for this determination
are these:
/. At the first meeting held i'm this
town in the interests of MIR. Cleve-
land, Democrats of this place publicly
Kissed, without rebuke from the chair
or any one else, the sacred name of
Abraham Lincoln, and united to drive
from the platform. with every mark
of insult and contempt, u union SOL
der. speaking of the civil war, in
order TO do honor to gentleman
whose best efforts were directed dur
ing that war to the destruction of that
union.
IL. The chief agent in the nOmina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland at Chicago. how
the chief speaker in his canvass in this
state, is a prominent rebel agent; and
every thing tends to show that, in the
event of Mr.. Cieveland's election, he
will be surrounded by rebel advisers
and rebel influences.
Ill. One of the leading spirits in the
Of the ''Independent Re-
publican Club in this town is q rebel
officer.
Nv. The chairman Of the Democratic
Town committee in this town has pub
licly declared, without contradiction
Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1884-09-23
from Democrats, that ''The Grand Ar
NV must take back seat, now the war

from Democrats, that 1.-THE Grand AR
my must take back seat, now the war
is over"
In view of these facts, and others
that will be made known if occasion
arises, the choice in the campaign APP
pears to lie between James u. Blaine
"a Union man with all his faults-and
n renewal of the spirit of Jefferson
Davis, who, with all his undOubted
personal honesty, is to-day an anre-
pentant rebel. who sought to destroy
his country once amp would like to re-
peat the attempt if he dared.
For the personal discourtesy shown
to myself on the occasion above re-
ferred to. ] cherish no resentment
whatever. | have not met Democrat
since that night who has not express
ed his sorrow and anger at the outrage
pcrpei rated at that meeting, as far as
he was personally concerned.
But | have not met one who was
willing to join in an attempt to de-
n0umce it publicly in an official man.
ner. One and all have asked that the
matter be let drop "to avoid bad feel
ing in the party" and all have been
unable to deny the fact that during the
present campaign Union soldiers
known to be such will be considered
as in the Democratic party at the suf-
ferance of the old Rebel and Copper
head element, held in hiding during
the Hancock campaign, and must be
ready to submit to insult at any and
all times for the part they took in pun
ishing the Rebel comrades Of Mr..
Cleveland's chief advocate.
Therefore it has come to q question
" here Union soldier, who has been
sincere Democrat, should 60 in this
campaign.
If he act with the Cleveland Demo-
Gratis he must apologize for his war
record: see the Grand Army of the
Republic insulted, to do honor to
every Rebel officer that comes 10 q
Democratic meeting, and acquiesce in
the dictum of the official head of the
Democracy in this town, that hence
forth "the Grand Army must take a
back seat"
La such case have but one decis-
| ion to make:
The Grand Army represents the
salvation of the Union from ruin; the
Cleveland Democracy, as revealed by
itself in an ungarded moment, repre-
sents the men who would have de:
stroved their country but for the very
Grand Army which that Cleveland
party now insults and derides.
Ii is time, therefore, for every union
man in America to declare his crceds
rs do mine-that:
1.-The humblest drummer boy who
followed the flag of the union during
the shareholders rebellion is to-day
more worthy of honor in the land he
helped 10 save than the greatest ora
tor and soldier that helped TO destroy
the country of his birth to perpetuate
human slavery"
From hencefOrth till this rebel spirit
is crushed out forever, and till the
COpp er heads Of 1864 take back seat
in the councils ofthe Democratic party
for one shall act aud vote with the
party which ha. need TO apologize for
it, war record, and which remains to-
day great. in spite of The faults, follies,
and crimes of the meu it has some
times honored with its gifts Your

DAVID DALE DECLINES

II was rumored yesterday on the
streets that ID. NJ. Dale had Withdrawn
from the race for the Democratic NOM
nation for county attorney. The
handwriting on the wall is plain
enough for rs shrewd a reader as our
county attorney and he don't care TO
make race against reunited Re
publican party. As for empty hon
ors they don't pay. There has been
considerable done to make his candi-
dacy successful, even 10 the extent of
manipulating the make up of the
state and senatorial ticket. If David
drops the whole thing now in disgust
a very large factor of the Democratic
organization will not only be missed
but some of the fellows will begin TO
think that the bottom has dropped out
OF the arrangement. The Democratic
party in Sed2wick county was big q
thing before the Dales came TO the sur
face. We congratulate Mr.. Dale on
his foresight.

THE Germans of our city intend
again to hold another Volksfest, and
August %, 26, and q are the days
fixed for holding ii. This " fest " last
year was grand success and from the
preparations which are being made the
occasion this year will far surpass that
of last year, and having gone through
with it once or twice the managers will
know exactly how, when and where to
make improvement. The money made
last year has been considerable helm
towards supporting the German school
in our city and to which number of
English families send their children
that they may learn the German Lam
guage. The proceeds of the Volksfest
this year will be applied to the same
purpose and that is one reason why il
appeals to the public for support. and
the reason why it should receive "A
liberal support. As is well-knowp
English is the only language taught in
our public schools. These intelligent
and industrious Germans do not want
to forget the language of their Father
land, and III order that it shall not be-
come obsolete they have adopted the
method OF supporting German school
by the annual holding of a Volks-
fest. AS the more money is made
the better the school can be
maintained, we hope our German
friends will realize largely from their
approaching Volksfest.

A few days ago our friend Il. r.
Cooper, Esq. of Dover, wrote letter
of congratulation to Mr.. Cleveland, and
promised him the electoral vote OF
Delaware. The great reform Governor
|courteously answered the letter, thank
ing Mr.. Cooper for his kind interest,
and said in substance that he could ex-
pect nothing else from the Z " State of
Thomas +. Bays Mr.. Cleveland
seems to be we'll booked up in regard to
Delaware. No doubt he had read in
his time something about the State be-
ing a "pocket borough" conveniently
carried about alternately in Mr.. Bay
ards or Mr.. Saulsbury's pocket as
needed to secure seat in the United
States Senate. This seems to be the
view Mr.. Cleveland had fit. 1t did
not occur to him to write that he could
do nothing less than expect hearty
support from the State of Delaware, the
State so ably represented in the Senate
of the U nited States by the Hon. Thomas
+. Bayard, or something like that.
He seems only to have seen Delaware
as Mr.. Bayard's State, and called it the
State of Thomas +. Bayard."
Whether intentional or not Mr. Cleve-
land said what he did, is Of little conse-
quence, but in this he has come nearer
the truth perhaps than if he had made
a greater effort TO tell the truth. To all
intents and purposes Delaware is en-
phatically the " State of Thomas +.
Bayard." He carries it in his pocket
and uses it whenever he needs it
Whenever the time comes for the cleo
ton of United States Senator from
the Senator's end ofthe State he gives
his little poke piece rattle and it
executes his will. He winds it up at
every Democratic nomination for the
Presidency, and it strikes six every
time When it gets ont Of order and
runs in the direction of local option or
something Of that sort he gives the key
"A screw backward, and 1t rights itself
again.
Since the new handspring of Re-
publican disfranchisment was put in
the little ticker" it runs with re-
markable regularity. Delaware vote for
Governor Cleveland, why of course it
will. The machine is set and Mr.. Bay
ard carries it in his pocket. This Mr.
Cleveland knows and calls it 1.-THE
State Of Thomas F. Bayard.''
