Saunders, OF somewhere in New i'ork, is a
wine merchant Saunders is an old SOL
dier. and his title is Captain" Sauad-
ers, is Grant Army man and comrade OF
Farnsworth Post, No. 10. Last Of all,
Saunders is said 10 be a Democrat.
Now there are plenty of old soldiers
lots OF Grand Army men; any number OF
unnumbered captains" OF ali kinds, and
certainly no one will be so rasn MS TO deny
That there are at least two or three mil
lions OF Democrats.
But this Sauuders-wine merchant
Saunders, Capt. Saunders, Grand Army
saunders, Democrat Saunders - has
sprung suddenly into fame as, "the-man-
who t0astsd-len-D DAVIS Saunders" The
worst Of the whole business Is that Saun-
ders stands up 70 the rack, IN manly
sort OF way, and admits The truth OF the
gruesOme charge. Aud Saunders threat
ems 10 become or be made ian issue. :"
FarnswOrtn Post 10 wants to discipline
him, but i. i. 10 isnot quite certain how
to 90 about to do 1t. There ~ some wild
talk in Mount Vernon headquarters Of
f. i. 170-Of c0urt-marLiaiing- Conrad g
Saunders because he "prOposed the
health Of Jeii Davis"
Advice 10 F..P. 40: Don't do it!
Merchant Saunders went to Savannah a
couple OF weeks in advance of Mr..
Jefferson Davis advent at that city, and
according To all accounts Saunders drove
thriving trade in the meantime, sold, in
fact, several hundred cases of .'5aunders'
champagne" 300 cases of which were
purchased and doubtless paid for by that
ante-C Confederate, Confederate, and now
eX-C0niederate and always highly dis.
tinguished organization, tue Chatham
Artillery. That was business! Thatwa
what Saunders WAS there for!
But another question occurs: How is
that ancient organization, the Chatham
Artillery, going TO explain its conduct, n
purchasing champagnes Northern cham
payne; Grand Army champagne; 200
cases Of good, pure, Northern, Comrade
Saunders Grand Army champagne, the
very brand In which, II may be believed,
+. i. 100 has many time, and whenever
Comrade Saunders set 'em up, INDUCED !?
What we want 10 know Is, what the
Chatham Artlllery will have TO say bv
way Of explanation And II the people
OF savannah have the misfortune TO be
cursed with as many f0reDrdained aud
naicd.tO-be-blaEked fools as
Farnsw0rth Post 100, Mt. Vernon, N. y,
appears to be inflicted with, then all we
have 10 say is, that that ancient and
honorable organization, the Chatham
ARTILLERY, Savannah, Ga, Will have 10
unllmber It's guos and prepare to defend
lbnNli against tue thbiH W Ahhl bDWns
The best thing about saunders Is that he
standsup and not only admits the gentle
imputation, but rather giories IN IL, and
gives his reason for so gl0ryiDg, Because
OF what his toast to the health OF the
ex-Conlederate chief ELECTED from the
latter. COmrade Saunders says that Mr..
Davis response CONTAINED more bright
aud loyal expressions In sympathy with
the federation Of this great country than
could be expressed by hundred thou
sand men who really do not know the
great principles of the Christian
faith--peace, forgiveness TO all man
kind"
Really this begins 70 look az II Com
rade saunders himself we're o Christian,
even II he does sell 300 cases Of his cham
payne az time 10 the Chatham Artillery,
0f Savannah. Ga. Oi one thing. however,
we feel assured, and that ~ that what
ever saunders ~. be -, at least, no fool
and II be could meet Mr.. jefferson Davis
An eompany with she Chatham Artillery
ana thelr other guests. tho very least that
Christian 1omrade Saunders could d.
was 70 drink % the health ~ the Chat
