Thecurrent number of the Blairsyille (Pa J
Enterprise pays high compliment to Miss
Marie Miller, of this city, who is in charge
of the musical department Of the seminary
there. In Its account of the musical soiree
incidental to the regular commencement
exercises, the Enterprise says:
1.-The concert on Tuesday evening had g
fair sized audience, who seemed to appre-
ciate the music. The instrumental pieces
were of . high order and were rendered
with great skill. The writer Is not Judge
Of classical music, hence cannot speak as
he could wish as to the Interpretation Of
the compositions of Beethoven, Saint Saens,
and the like, but the reputation of Miss
Marie Miller as an instructor Is assurance
that it was well done. Mrs. ]. Sharpe Nc
Donald, who is 30 well known In the neigh
borhoOd about Pittsburg. YVES present and
rendered some Of her sweetest arias. She
was vigorously encored the last three times
she appeared and responded gracefully In
music which even the humblest could ap-
preciate. Mrs. Mcdonald has powerful
and well-trained voice. 1t seemed to us,
however, that even she could improve
somewhat in articulation. The concert
altogether was pronounced by some to be
the best ever given under the auspices Of
the seminary"

The favorite son business is q growing
sentiment, and where these delegations
will go when they break, for break they
must, is a great puzzle. Mr.. Sherman's
managers claim that they positively have
enough of votes In sight on the fourth bal
lot to nominate and this may be true today,
but again may not be true tomorrow.
A very handsome compliment was paid
General Bushnell by the Ohio delegation In
selecting him as secretary Of the delegation.
He is not delegate, yet he Is given that
honorable position. Truly fitting COM
pliment,
The convention has adjourned, as you
already know, till 12 O'Clock tomorrow,
when the fun will begin in real earnest.
1t is estimated that there are 1909
strangers in the city, and still they come.
The Springfield men are ali in good
shape, and are getting into the convention
in goodly numbers. Tickets are very
scarce. yet the Springfield man gets there
with his customary success. One other re-
markable feature In the distribution Of
press tickets was the fact that when the
hour came for their distribution the RE-
rUBLIc's representative was the first one
among the several hundred newspaper
men to get q ticket. A Spring

This was regarded by me particular cir
cumstance when l afterward learned that

two hours before their turn came.

WALTER O. GRESHAM.

In 1854 Walter Gresham was admitted TO
the bar, and entered into partnership with
Thomas C. Slaughter, an eminent lawyer
Of that time, afterwsrd judge of the Circuit
court. He came fresh from his studies in g
time when politicslquestions of the greatest
importance were agitating the people, and it
was natural that a mind devoted to the
science Of law should take deep interest in
the politics of the times.
In 1860, when the agitation Of the slavery
question became so exciting. Harrison conn
ty elected Mr. Gresham as member Of the
Indiana Legislature. His legislative duties
over, he organized and became the Captain
Of militia company In Corydon which was
called the Spencer Rifles, and when the
Legislature adjourned Gov. Morton sp-
pointed him Lieutenant Colonel of the
Thirty eighth Indiana Regiment, but before
it was ordered into active service he was
appointed Colonel Of the Fifty-third Regi-
ment In December of 1861.
HIS War Record.
The regiment was first ordered to St
Louis, but when Grant, after Doneison, ad-
vanced up the Tennessee river Gresham's
regiment was ordered to join him at Savan-
nah. Here it was assigned to Veatch's bri-
gads in Hurlbut's division and was stationed
at Savannah to guard the post His action
here commended him to Gen. Grant.
He participated in the siege at Corinth,
Joined Grant in the North Mississippi CAM
paign, was then stationed ut Memphis and
later Joined the army in the siege at Vicks-
burg. On the 1lth day of August 1868,
Col. Gresham, on the recommendation Of
Grant and Sherman, was appointed Briga.
dier-General and placed in command OF the
post Of Natchez, and afterward the District
of Natchsz, succeeding Gen. Crocker.
At the battle of Leggett's Hill Gresham
had his leg shattered by ball. He was
compelled to use crutchss for several years,
but finally the wound healed 50 that he was
able to walk without these, though he re-
manned slightly lame.
On the Bench.
The war over, General Gresham returned
to the practice of his profession in New Al
bany. In 1866 he was nominated for Con.
gress by the Republicans of the district, and
defeated by N. C. Kerr The district was
hopelessly Democratic. In ls6S he again
made the race against Kerr, but was de-
feated again.
When General Grant became President
he offered General Gresham the collector
ship of the port of New Orleans, but the
offer was promptly declined He was then
offered the District Attorneyship for In
