PROTECTION AND THE HARD TIMES.

PROJECTION AND THE HARD IlMEo'
Judge Foraker then launched into this
explanation of the hard times;-He said l6
commenced in 1882, when a Democratic
House turned down the protectionist Han
dali for the free trader Carlisle, aud
showed the capital Of the country Tue
prospect of free trade. He omitted TO
mention that the greatest hard times the
country went through was in 1874, and on
up to 1879, when protection was at lis
height with no prospect of defeating it,
LII conclusion he said that any VTain-
ian could come to Ohio and go all over
The State making political speeches. AS
for himself he was not annoyed by the at
tacks of some of the Virginia papers on
him. They were doubtless written by
men who were not in the war at ali. He
did not believe there was Virgnian who
had served under Lee or Jackson who
would not see that he had free speech in
the State. He had the right to go wher-
ever the American flag foated, and he
believed that the ex Confederate soldiers
would guarantee his exercise of that right
in Virginia. He came to persuade the
people to fall in the Republican RANKS, and
if he could not get voters by persuasion
cluded by an appeal to Virginians to sup
port the principles of the Republican
party.

[From speech of Hon J. B. Foraker delivered at
Portsmouth, O., Sept. IL
eff the colored Republicans South had been
allowed to vote as they desired, and had their
votes been counted as cast, there would have
been only 113 votes in the electoral college
from the South for Mr.. Cleveland, and there
would have been from these forty votes for
James e. Blaine, mere than enough to have
cleo ed him, with the States of New York
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana against
him. But these colored Republicans were not
allowed SO to vote. On the contrary, By fraud,
BIZ 0iolencs By murder. By assassination, By 6uU-
qghips G11d shot guns, by the white leaguers and
/ kuklux clans, by agencies of the most unscrup-
ulous and diabolical character, by horrible

the assassination of Print Matthews in Copiah

and been cast in the electoral college as Re

First Flag at Richmond.

To THE EDITOR: In THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of Feb. - | notice an article headed,
First Union Flag st Richmond" Also a letter
from Gov. Ogesby, of Illinois, to Gov. Andrew,
of Massachusetts, in which he thanks one Pri-
vate Locke for displaying the flag. | am happy
to state that Private Jno L. Locke, of whom he
speaks, is enrolled in Chas. l.. Stevens Post,
Castine, Me-, and Is as faithful comrade as wo
have.
Comrade Locke states these facts to me: That
ne claims the honor of putting out to the breeze
the first flag after the evacuation of Richmond
by the rebels: that from the private office OF
Maj Turner in Libby Prison he took a silk
flag, nailed it to O long stick, and hung it out
OF the gable window of the warehouse used as
depot Of supplies so that it could be seen the
length of Cary street This was some time be-
fore any United States soldiers had entered the
city. The silk flag was presented to Gov. An
drew, who afterwards sent ii to Gov. Oglesby,
of Illinois. Comrade Locke had been pris-
oner some nine months, but was on parole in
Richmond at the time the rebels evacuated.
C0Inrade Locke further states that he was
given the keys to Libby Prison by Capt. Stew
art, and left in charge of it. About o'clock a
squad of 90 men, under the command of a
Lieutenant, was sent down TO liberate the pris-
oners in Castle Thunder and Libby Prison.
Seeing them coming put on an old faded sash
! found in the office of Libby and took an old
SWOIu WltHOtlt u scioralu, anu Stdbloheu Hystit
in front of the building. AS the Lieutenant
drew near / presented arms and surrendered
my sword. The Lieutenant took me to be a
rebel officer He took my sword, and ordered
me to produce the keys, that the Union prison
ers might be liberated. / then told him that
was myself a prisoner, the only one there at
that time AT 10 o'clock Union guard was
walking the very same beat which was trod
by rebel sentry at II o'clock the night pre-
vous. Before l o'clock p. m. the prison was
full of Confederate officers and soldiers. Won
derful 1t seemed almost like an enchantment.
that thus III IL hours its character should be so
altered.
Our Post has had several lectures this Win
ter, one by Comrade Locke, The Evacuation
of Richmond" and Camp Life" by Comrade
V. p. Woodville, and by Comrade George A.
Wheeler, Life of an Army Surgeon"
Comrade Locke is in very feeble health
which was caused by sunstroke while in the
| army and being confined in Libby, Anderson
! vile, Belle Isle, and Salisbury Prsons.-C. III

Dutton Hill mounted. and being mounted cap
tured most of the prisoners taken. This bat
TALON was under the command OF Maj. Norton.
Another battalion was operating on our ex-
IRENE left, on the high ground east of the creek,
as corps of observation. had the remainder
supporting the artillery and awaiting orders
near Gen. Gilmore, and with them made the
scout TO the rear, and was finally run in under
our guns by the charge up the valley of the
Tennessee cavalry.
l think it desirable to have the records you
are making as nearly accurate as the memory
of those engaged can make them, and so make
this contribution to such accuracy, without in
tending any unkind criticism on the article
entitled Pegram's Raid"
! also wish to bear testimony to the fine
military skill with which Gen. Gilmore forced
the attack in front when advised of the pres
ence Of large force moving around his right
and about to come up the open valley in his
rear twas one of the best things that l saw
done By either side during the war.-lsEAEL
