In replying TO the EAGLES criticism of
the cut it is running as likeness of Gen.
eral Harrison, the Anthony Republican
betrays no little perplexity. Ii explains
that the cut is the work of the editors
brother-in-law, an artist in illustrating
and map work in Chicago. and thinks it
is as liable TO be correct as any one of
the half dozen others published in the
newspapers of the country. which may
be true. The Republican takes revenge
on the EAGLE, however, by criticising
its cut of Morton. whose nose, IL declares,
denotes character in chunks We
don't admire the phraseology of our con-
temporary's Characterization, but the es-
innate it conveys of the man is eminently
correct. His sterling integrity and moral
worth are not the least among his many
strong points of character which are
plainly depicted upon his countenance as
presented in the small cut al the head Of
the first column on this page OF the

The Democratic candidate for COVER

Miss Augustine CorteZ, who married a

de Stael and her mother, the famous,Nime.
Neckar; and. above all, he is descend
ant of the Washington family and the
Virginia Laniers Such line of distin-
guished ancestry is urged as the chief
recommendation for his election. Yet
in the estimation of his groomers and
Democrats generally it is an unforgiv-
able sin for Republican candidate for
president to be of noble lineage. Bah.

A recent Washington dispatch says
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles has been in that
city urging congress to vote twenty-five
thousand dollars for building barracks
on the Gettysburg battlefield. The con-
splcuouS part the general took in that
memorable engagement and the invalua-
bic assistance rendered the cause of the
Union arms entitle him to more endur-
ing memorial than mere temporary
abiding place on reunion occasions for
visiting participants in the struggle
upon that decisive field, which if estab-
hshed as suggested by him would be re-
garded somewhat in the light of men,
orial Of him. When the gallant old hero
shall have overcome the last enemy
there is little doubt that an enduring
shaft will be planted to mark the salient
where, at the hazard of himself and his
command, he met and turned back the
legions of the enemy who were flushed
with previous success.

In all parts of the country Harrison
and Morton clubs are being formed of
old citizens who supported Harrison and
Tyler in 1910. In Detroit the new organ
ization already numbers five hundred and
eighty members. There is hardly COM
munity in the the west that does not
contain numbers of these old veterans
and it is indeed gratifying to see them
manifesting their old time interest in ma
tional politics. There are quite number
OF such worthy citizens in Wichita and
Sedgwick county, and the EAGLE would
find especial delight to be able to note
such an organization among them for the
support of the Republican nominees.

HAoHELOH BOAT CLUB.
They Took Qua the biggest Crowd
for she Neason.

The largest moonlight excursion OF the
season was taken out last night by the
Bachelor Boat Club, on the steamer City OF
Chester. The crowd was very orderly and
the evening passed most pl-asanlly. The
boat left the wharf and steamed down the
river In the twilight IL became dark
before the moon rose. 1t was the nlost
sociable crowd that could have been
brought together. The hurricane deck was
the fsvorite Of tne exeursionists, and fold
ing chairs we're in demand.
1t was a noticeable fact that many OF ths
bachelors took their wives along. When
tbs twilight had faded into darkpess the
happy crowd conj ctured on the many
lights along the shore y A short distance
down the river she tug Taurus, with a
private party on board. was passed. Ths
tug saluted with e gorgeous dlspIsy OF
fireworks. amid the admirIng cheers OF kha
party on the larger bost.
The steamer went below Fort Delaware
almost to the ReedY Island range lights.
The hour was 10. Suddenly a cheer broke
from many throats, and looking towards
the Jersey shore the golden moon was gees
to rise It cams up iickly aud soon shed
It's refuigeut rays Ia a siivery path on she
water. The scene vas worthy OF q painter:
many OF the excursion party became moon
struck. About the tins she moon had
started to show It's pristine beauty the City
OF Chester turned and steamed up the
river. In the wake Of the st amer the rays
of the moon on the white caps from shs
propeller made a handsome display OF she
rustic scenery OF the river The wind
blew strong and shawls Of stylish shades
we're 10 use.
0u the honeward trip the Taurxs was
passed, with another display OF fireworks
rhe force OF the wind YVES shown by the
fact that a large number Of young men
tryed to keep their sweetheaI IS
from blowing overheard. No drown
ing accidents have yet been re-
ported. Two young men were sitting on
the hurricnne deck. One knew a littls
about stars the other knew nothing The
knowing one asked the other to point out
the north star. The other grAveiy sur
veysd the heavens and finding bright

which bad guided 90 many sailors 10 their

When the river was reached The "City OF
Worcester was passed. Il was being
towed by two tugs and was radiaut with
light. The excursionista reached their wharf
shortly after 10 o'clock.
