For Sheridan ana Harrison.

The letter pub ished this week from
Hon James G. blaine, withdrawing
his name as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for President,
which is of course conclusive so far as
he is cOrcerned, and to which we
invite the special attention of every
reader Of The TINES. while it goes
long ways TO prove that Mr.. Blaine
should be nominated, as The ablest
exponent of the principles and policy
Of the Republican party, makes the
selection of ar other leader an imper.
ative necessity. In this emergency,
The TIMES does not foi a moment
doubt that wisdom, the certainty of
success, ana the good Of the country
demand that Lieutenant General
Philip II. Sheridan should be tie man
around whom the Republicans should
rally in the canvass Of 1883, and who
as at Winchester in the dark days of
the war, will on the night of the 9th
of November be at the head of the
victorious host of free men who will
go marching in triumph on to the
National Capitol, despite the fact that
he enters the contest more ethan

should be nominated for Vice Pres
ident on the ticket with Gen. Sher.
idan. No man lives who would more
cheerfully and more en,huslasticly
support Gen. r. A. Alger, Of Mich
igan, for any position than the editor
of THE TINES Yet we believe
Michigan is SURE for the Republican
ticket in any event, and that il is the
part Of wisdom to ensure success in
the doubtful States, prominent among
which is Indiana. AT the same time
no man stands higher, as a soldier,
statesman and citizen, than Gen.
Harrison. This and many other
reasons which we cannot give at this
time. for want of space, make Us
believe that the Republican ticket in
1888 should be Sheridan and Har.
rison.

Lines on the Death Of Peter Mack.

The earth il white and cheerful with winters
verdent bloom,
Wnen message sad and fearful fills each heart
with sudden gloom;
waiiins forth the sad sad tidinss With voice
so stern and slow,
That death with quick and cruel hand has laid
the loved one low.
Oh how hard to think this real and our hearts
submissive bow.
When we know he's cold and silent With
deaths signet on his brow;
And thsAt.he from whom We parted In man
hood strength and bloom,
We only see death for the silent tomb.
Yes Ills but the empty casket, and 1t heedefh
not our woe,
For the heart loved thee fondiy is free from
all below;
And the voice 80 kind and gentle, shall be
heard on earth no more.
For its in the Heavenly choir, singing on the
crystal shore.
And though we will sadly miss HIN, through
many coming years,
When memory, sad but faithful, recalls those
burning tears,
And each loved tone and feature deep treasuro
I'm thy heart,
VIII vividly return and cause thy tears TO
start.
But 81 ,ters dear and brothers and friends who
mourn his loss,
Think Of his gain and meekly bear thy burden
and thy cross;
For friends who truly loved thee have held the
chastening rod,
And with warning voice IS saying "prepare to
meet thy God"
And Oh! poor bereaved companion and child
rem mourning thy darling one,
Look unto him who gave, who took. and say
"Thy will be done"
For he's only gone before thee TO his eternal
rest,
Where free from every toll and care he leans
on Jesus breast.
Where you too may meet him and wander by
his side.
Through fields OF bright elysium with Jesus for
thy guide;
Never more to know a sorrow there-no part
ing, grief nor care,
A dav without tomorrow, in that land so
bright and fair.

An Angry Roman.

A dispatch from1 New York states that
Thurman has beef made very angry. at
having been used by Cleveland for a
spectacular demonstration In New York.
The dispatch says. If there is madder
in the sense of angrier, man in the United
States to- day than Allen G.. Thurman he
is fit subject for restraint. The old
Roman feels that he has been butchered
to make a Cleveland holiday and he is
hot in the collar about it.
In the first place he did not want to leave
his comfortable home in Columbus and
come here to speak. The shaking up
that was given the old man while on his
way East disturbed him greatly and sour
ed his temper as we'll as his stomach. He
said in substance: This is the toughest
treatment l have ever had. I did not 60
on the ticket to save New York and if
Cleveland has any more trips of this kind
he will haye to make them himself for by

the country in this style. It is Cleve-
lands place to save his own state not
mine. I care hundred times more
about my standing ln my own state than
l do about it in any other place, and

To Columbus and Back.

Editors TRANSCRIPT.
Having enjoyed another annual trip
to the Meaca Of old soldiers national en-
campment of the G. AR. permit me to-
write few words in regard to our exper-
lances there. The journey was quickly
and safely made: But no sooner had we
reached Chicago than we began to feel
the pulse of the great celebration at Col
umbus in the immense crowds which
thronged the union depot. For AZ hours
the trains conveying those from the
northwest had been discharging multi
tudes of veterans. At Bradford juno.
ton, O., we were informed that on the
day previous over SO, 900 people had pass
ed over the road, bound for the encamp-
ment. For miles outside Of Columbus
the trains had been blocked. and we ar
rived on Tuesday morning, barely in
time to step into the ranks and march.
The parade in numbers, both of vcter-
ans and spectators has been rivalled only
once IN the history of our country-the
grand review at Washington in May,
1965-which we had also the pleasure OF
participating in.
1t was estimated that over 10000 vet
erans marched past over $4,000 specta-
tors. The line of march was about seven
miles long and every foot was densely
packed, besides the multitudes who filled
all the windows and stands. On the re-
viewing stand, as we marched BY, we
saw many faces familiar to all Americans
from the numerous pictures which adorn
our homes, as ex-Presldent Hayes and
wife, Gen. T. w. Sherman, Mrs. Garfield
and Mrs. John Logan. Several sons of
eminent men were also conspicuous, as
Robert Lincoln and John Logan, Jr.
John P. Rea, of Minneapolis, Mlnn.
| Commander in Chief of the G. A. r., re-
viewed the procession. We could not
help noticing as we stepped rapidly by
what strong, bright and cheerful look
Mrs. Hayes had on her face. She evil
IDENTIFY was greatly inspired by the bril-
liant spectacle. There is something deep
ly affecting in the sight of vast columns
of men, glorious with the associations of
a thousand battle fields, and bearing their
old tattered battle flags through applaud.
ing multitudes. One gentleman said,
"For the first fifteen minutes after they
began to move, felt tired, but soon
forgot all that and staid until the last
man went BY"
| The next morning we attended the an
nual encampment held in the Opera
House. Judge Rea read fine report of
the work done during the year now past.
He said the G.. A. r. now numbers 4O0,-
900 members. Is now at the height o1
its prosperity. Last year 4,SOO of it,
membership died, an increase Of mortali
ty 30 per cent. Judge Rea has made 8
fine record as commander and received
as mark of appreciation a diamond e.
A. R. badge worth $500. The next place
of meeting will be at Milwaukee. Judg'
Kea said these annual meetings are tn
e ducators of the people in loyalty to tn
government. Nothing in all the worl'
to-day so deeply stirs the interest of tn
people and moves such masses as thes
m eetinge! of the veterans. Nothing 8
cl early sets forth in the intense devotion
! 0 the people to the union as the posi-
bi lity of such popular gatherings as tha
n Columbus. AS the years 60 by th
interest intensifes. VETERAN.
