a Base SIander.

When the Paw Paw correspondent of the
Reflector says that the soldiers reunions ''re-
suit in nothing but bacchanalian revels," he
utters a base SANDER against brave men. We
hardly think he gave due consideration to
what he was saying. We have attended a
great many reunions, at which we have in
variably found bacchanalian revelry among
the boys in blue to be conspicuous only by
its absence. True there are some old soldiers,
as we'll as other men, who are addicted to the
flowing bowl, but as little drunkenness will
be found at a gathering of veterans as at
gathering of citizens on any other occasion.
At the recent reunion in Battle Greek, al
though there were thousands of soldiers
present, we did not see drunken man.
These reunions of old comrades in arms
are right and proper and we hope to see
them continued as long as anysof the old
warrios remain to meet together and
recount the story of "the days that tried
mems souls" 1t is a shame to characterize
such gatherings as occasions of "bacchanalian
revelry"

The Kalamazoo Telegraph claims to have

we admit is that there is no ground for libel
in the assertion.
We were up a few days since, looking over
john Spackeen's farm, crops and stock. The
only objection we have to John is that he is
q Dutch democrat.
A Lee district granger planted last spring,
9 acres of corn two feet one way and eight
| feet the other In this wide row ne planted
potatoes, the hills two feet apart. His corn
looks well and his potatoes are very fine,
and we see no reason why he will not get q
/ good double crop from the land. He has
| dug part OF the potatoes and estimates the
/ crop at 1000 bushels, which he calls clear
| gam. There IS no patent on this way of
raising corn and potatoes. The two first
letters of the granger's name are Jim Gal
| ligan.
We are about used up since the reunion,
and feel rather dull. You let fellow go to
one of those gatherings and sleep as we did,
60 in bed, with Capt. Buck and Corporal
Dixon in the middle, and have to be woke
up every 10 minutes through the night, for
three nights in succession, to be introduced
to Capt. Holcombe, by Col. Dan Spicer, will
make almost any one feel a little off for a
day or two at least. Notwithstanding all
this we had a good time, shook hands with
many old comrades whom we had not seen
for nearly quarter of a century, had many
happy meeting, and in those little meet
ings shed tears as big as horse chestnuts.
! We tried to control them but there was no
use, they were bound to come, and we are
not ashamed of them either, and hope to
have occasion to shed them over again, every
year for the next two hundred years, be the
same more orless. We were there three days
and saw but one drunken man, and he not
drunk enough to have bacchanalian reyel.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND IN LINE.

Business Men of All Ranks Parade tke
 Streets of New York In the Interests
 of Elaine and Protection.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The merchants and business mems parade this afternoon in hon. or of the Republican candidates for the pres idency and vice presidency despite the threat ening weather was one of the most note worthy demonstrations that has been wit messed during the campaign. It was esti- mated that there were fully fifteen thousand men in line, extending fully three miles. Among the principal organizations that took part in the procession were the Produce, Maritime, Cotton, Coffee and Petroleum and Stock Exchanges, the dry goods, boot and shoe trade, American Watch company and large delegation representing the Wall street bankers and merchants. The dry goods organizations, numbering five thou sand, made a splendid display and evoked great enthusiasm all along the line of proces- sion. The jewellers, numbering about one thousand five hundred, made fine front. The banners carried by the various organiza-' tions were costly and elegant in design, many being surmounted with white and colored plumes. A large number of business houses along the line of the procession were dec orated with bunting and portraits of Blaine and Logan. The processionists marched to the cry of ''Blaine, Blaine" and "Ohio," :" The line of march was up Broadway to Mad ison Square, swhere the procession was re- viewed from the grand stand by MT. Blaine. When the head of the procession reached Twenty third street the crowd of spectators was enormous and as the various organiza- tions marched past the reviewing stand the greatest excitement and enthusiasm pre- vailed. At the close of the procession MT. Blaine amid the cheers of the multitude was escorted back to the hotel

 Latterss Position in 1880.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Brooklyn Eagle of this evening publishes the following: ''Mr. Henry W. Knight, president of the Young Mems Republican club, an old per sonal friend of Mir. Blaine, went to Bingham, ton yesterday where he met the latter and came on to New York with him. in the course of conversation MT. Blaine said he had read the story told by MT. Beecher at the meeting in the Brooklyn rink concerning the conversation as to his (Blaine's) appointment as Secretary of State under Garfield. Mir Blaine went on to-say that he met Beecher on the occasion in question at the corner of Pine street and Broadway, and after the first greetings both locked arms and walked to the Battery, and from there back to the Astor House During the walk the con versation about the secretaryship came up. MT. Beecher said he had heard my name mentioned for the place, whereuponI told him that had accepted it and had already mailed to President Garfield letter of acceptance" In further conversation Mr. Blaine character ized the statement of ex-President Nichols of the Young Mems Republican club to the effect that he (Blaine) was anxious as to the stand Beecher would take as absolutely false, adding that he was we'll aware of what Beecher would do MT. Blaine referring to the Joy-Beecher controversy said that as far back as 1880 he had a letter in his pocket from Joy denying the state ment attributed to him by MT. Beeeher, but he did not publish it out of regard to Mir. Beecher's feelings. MT. Blaine in conclusion said that he had entered the campaign realiz- ing the fact that he was to expect islander and abuse, but he had resolved not to say any thing that would reflect on the personal character of his opponent.

Murderer B1urts Out His Crime
 While Men Are Talking Of His Vic-
 tim.
 YARMOUTH, N. S., Oct. 29.-Severa1 weeks ago Absolom Hurlbut while conversing about an old grudge entertained against Benjamin Treffy exclaimed, q will fix him, or he will fix me-" Nothing further was thought about it. Last Saturday night Treffy left his faith CTS house to visit his betrothed as was his custom, taking short cut through the woods The lamp burned late in the latter's house that night and his faithful girl retired with the thought that another's charms had stolen her lover. Sunday and Monday pass ed and young Treffy did not turn up. His father supposed he was at his 1ady's house, so he had no fears. Tuesday disclosed the fact of his strange disappearance. The whole country was searched in vain.- Hurlbuts conversation was recalled and he was arrest ed. "You can charge all you like, but you can't prove anything" !" said Absolom and he was right. The justice discharged him and he went home. As evening approached neigh bors dropped in and began to talk of his ac- quittal. Hurlbut finally bent his brow with passion, looked at the men who had been talking and said: fYou are fools, fools; all of you. I did kill him and I hid him where no one can find him. He is under the water in Wilson's lake. They can't try a man twice for the same thing and now that they've cleared me it does not make any difference. Besides I am not the only one to blame" :" Then he went to bed. To-day Hurlbut is again in custody and while the constables dragged Wilson's pond hundreds stood around the shores waiting for the first glimpse of the corpse of the murdered man. It has not yet been found.
