TIE GRAND ARMY AND POLITICS

No panger of the Order Breaking Up on
Account of Corporal Tanners ResOlu
tIons.
The telegraphed statement that Cor.
poral Tanner had presented series OF
resolutions at the National EDcampmenl
of the Grand Army of the Republic CON
demning certain democratic candidates
for office, more especially Gen. Manson
democratic candidate for Governor in
Indiana, has caused pain among the
members of the order in this city. Many
doubt the truth of the dispatch, and re-
gard it as political claptrap; while others
intimate that, If true, it is unfortunate,
1t is not believed that the national en-.
campment can be used for any political
purpose, and no credit is given to the
report that any large number Of mem.
bers will secede from the order on ac-
count of the political prejudices of any
individual. Gen. Horatio G. King. in
conversation with reporter for the
Mail and Express, said:
The Grand Army OF the Republic IL
purely beneficial organization, formed
for the purpose of helping the sick mem
bers and taking care OF the families OF
those who may die. For several years
past it has divPsted itself Of everything
that has any tendency towards politics,
1t would be very unfortunate If, through
the action of any hot-headed man OF
men, politics should again be introduced
into the body. l do not believe, even il
it be true that Corporal Tanner has Of
fered any such resolutions, that the ma
tional encampment will endorse them.
The members Of the organization have
too strong love for their order, which ID
composed of Democrats, Prohibitiunists
and Labormen as well as Republicans,
to sever their connection Herewith be.
cause such a resolution or resolutions
should be offered.

Say, ncghbors, hev ye heard tn c news I'm 60
ing to Sandy Creek,
But I'll give the old hoss time to rest and tell ye
mighty quick
They've nominated Harrison, from Indiana state
And we're goln to 'lcct him just as sure as four
and four makes eight
Why, it makes me think of Forty, and its some
thin, boys, to tell,
That l was of age and voted, and recollect II
well
How we tramped the roads singin', how the
cider barrels ran,
When we lected Gincral Harrison and used up
little Van
And this is the Gineral's grandson. a chip Of the
good old block,
As true as Steel as pure as gold and as steadfast
as a rock
1t makes me think OF Forty, and, boys, it's awful
queer,
But thet there fight, for all the world, WAS jest
like this one here.
For President Van Burcn he'd been foolin' with
Free Trade,
And knuckling down to foreign powers, as II he
were afraid,
with Tippecanoe, and Tyler, too, we hoorcd 'em
there and then,
Aud with Tippecanoo and Morton, too, wen dust
'ern of agen
don't go much on families, but when our glor
ious land
Was tried and veIed, the Harrisons were sure to
be on hand.
Ills granddad fought in Elghteen-twelye, he
whipped the Indian nation,
And there was one in Seventy six that signed the
Declaration.
And Benjamin dosenr lac behind, he's kept the
record fair
Whether maxim a speech or ightin', when II
comes to the pint, he's there
lie served in the great Rebellion, no three months
volunteer,
He was down there fghtin' our battles, for four
long mortal years
Down at the front in tho thick of the gt till the
end of the war he'd come
While he that's to run agin him was skulkin'
around at home.
They tell of a fight at Rcsnca. and another at
Peach Tree Creek,
Nncrc COlOncl ben, Al III" Hehu vi his hlen, was
a.makin' them rebels sick.
When the day was won, Joe Hooker came ridIn'

"By gosh !" says he, "for this days work I'll
make you a Brigadier ~
When Lincoln ran in Sixty Ben Harrison stumpcd
the state.
And once twas he and Hendricks were to hev n
joint debate.
And Hendricks was goin to eat him up, but he
changed his mind entire
For the scourgin' that young man gave him was
like a burnIn' fire
For thirty years, in troublesome times, when the
sky looked black as night,
Ben Harrison stood up maniul, and spoke out for
the right
He's had his say and part in every question that
has risen,
We haven't single grand result but part Of it is
hs'n.
Then hooray for Ben, the patriot, whose words
of fervent zeal
Rang out when his country needed 'em like the
ring OF hammered steel
And hooray for Ben, the soldier. who answered
his country's call
Hooray for the man with an honest life, and
that is the best ofall
And when election comes, my boys, Wen whoop

For Tippecanoe, aud Morton, too Hooray !

Cumulative BonevOIence.

Cumulative BonevOIence.
There is a device, of English importa-
tion, which is be ng extensively used for
the promotion of various benevolent en-
terprscs, aud which seems to cause con-
siderable mystfication to the uninitiated.
It may be described, in a word as sys-
ten Of progressive writing. A
receives from some source letter bear
ing n certain number at the top, and
containing written account of the
charity to bu helped. He is asked to
make two copies of the letter, placing at
the top of each the number next ahead
of that upon the letter which he re
ccived. aud to transmit them 20 any two
friends OF his, B and @. A is also asked
to return the original letter to the ad-
dress of the sender, inclOsing with it 10
cents as his contribution TO the charity.
b and g are asked to do the same thing,
each making two copies to be sent to
two friends with like request, and
each sending 10 cents with the copy of
the letter sent him by A to the address
of tie original sender. So the series goes
on, until 1t reaches 10 or 10 or some 9TH
er agreed upon number at the top of the
letter, and then it ceases. 1t will be ob
served that all that the scheme demands
Of any individual is good nature enough
to make two copies of letter, and to
give 10 cents to some presumably worthy
charity. The scheme also assumes that
a person good natured enough for this
will be able to find two friends, as good
naturei as himself, to do the same
thing. The plan is simple enough, and
the tax upon any individual is light, yet
it will he seen by little figuring, that if
it works successfully, 1t will yield sever
al thousand dollars to any cause in be-
half of which it is set agoiDg.
AS We have seen newspaper articles
denouncing this scheme as an impOsture;
and as we have now before us long
article from New York paper, describ-
ing visit which Brooklyn gentleman,
who had received some of these letters.
said to the police, thinking the scheme
was something which the law should be
called upon to prevent, 1t seems worth
while to indicate just what the device il
and how it s employed. Obviously, it
is capable of being overdone, like any
other device which promises to yield a
good deal without heavy cost. Obvious
ly too, it might be used for bogus char
ity, But as it is purely voluntary, and
as it is not likely under ordinary circum
stances to be extended beyond the circle
of personal acquaintance, there does not
appear to he anything very iniquitous
about it. One incidental advantage is
that IN each case several thousand per
sons become familiar with the history
and merits of some charity, through
laboriously copying an account of them.
Another incidental advantage is a con-
siderable accession 10 the postal reve-
nues, by reason of the multitudinous
mailing of letters.
