TEE WHEELING, W. Va, IntelIiOencer
has the following to say of Walter @. Gres-
ham: "He is popular with the laboring
classes, and they would rally to his support
- TO no other man except Blaine. A brave
Union soldier, with record as an upright
Cabinet officer, possessing every quality Of
statesmanship, and private life above re-
proAeh, Judge Gresham combines all that
the people Of the country desire in an Ex-
ecutive. Aside from that Of Mr.. Blaine,
no nomination by the Chicago Convention
would create greater enthusiasm in the
Republican party"

MEMORIAL DAY WILL BE APPROPRIATE
y and significantly observed. here; the old
soldiers will visit the graves Of their dead
comrades who lie calmly sleeping on the
hillside and in the valley and strew them
with the choicest and sweetest Of springs
enablems. Our hearts stirred by mournful
memory Of those dark days when the strife
81 ciyil war ragged so fiercely, when brothers,
husbands and fathers broke from peaceful,
quiet, happy homes to fight for the perpet-
nation Of country's honor, responds to a
noble sympathy which binds together in
the ties Of brotherhood those who ans Wered
to their eountry's summons in the hour Of
her greatest need. A quarter of century
slnce those whose names confront us now
on plain marble tablets were among us,
patriotism that lent new beauty TO Ameri-
can manhood. Babies yet unborn will, for
generations TO come, be told the thrilling
story Of the old war days, when wives,
mothers and sisters waited with palpitat-
ing hearts to hear the news of the battle.
With these women the pain and misery,
the sorrow and uncertainty of the civil war
win eyer. ive-iudeliably engraved upon
the heart, the memories Of those anxious
days Of waiting and wishing will flow into
the life blood of their children's children
and liYe in glory for all days to come. The
custom Of decorating the graves of the de-
parted is prehistoric; everything which loye
can deYise has, in different periods and by
different na:ions, been employed to do
honor to the tomb. In Greece the land oi
classics and beautiful customs, the graves
Of the dead were honored and reyered, and
90 the beautiful custom has descended
from generation to generation, until the
people Of to-day pay tribute to their ma.
tions dead, many of whom lie in unknown
and unmarked graves. God bless American
soldiers, both the blue and gray, for the
rancor Of the war has died, and in 1t.
place has come the fraternal love of broth
ers, who clasping hands acress the ole
Aason-Dixon line, are we'll pleased tha
things are now as they are. Pay you
tribute to the dead on Memorial Day ant
eRer mp sincere prayer that the nobl
institutions Of our free country may liy
and flourish for eyer and aye.

Senator CharaIer's Good Work.

Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
is doing great and coed work IL the
Senate and we hope that the Senators
will give him the widest latitude to IN
form the body what lie knows about
naval contracts and Southern elections.
Senator Chandler has just offered two
important resolutions IN the Senate.
One relates to the Navy Department,
and calls for official Information as 10 the
cost OF plans, designs, drawings, specit-
cations, etc, OF ships or engines, re-
ceived from foreign countries; also for
chs nses made in original plans of several
vessels designed aid contra tied for by
Mr.. Chandler when Secretary and also
for contracts made for naval vessels since
March 4, 1885.
There is no man in the country who
knows more about crookedness IN naval
contracts than Senator Chandler, as most
of the widespread crookedness and ap-
palling waste which obtained under pre-,
vious administrations were planned and
carried cut by Mr.. Chandler either as
outside manager under Robson or as
Secretary of the Navy under Arthur. he
knows exactly what is wrong IN both
present aud past naval contracts. and ne
IS lust the man TO hunt for X. Let the
Senate heartily aid him in en- exhaustive
inquiry into naval contracts, ana see that
Chandler doesn't wcary OF the hunt when
he gets back of 1885.
Another great and good work started
by Senator Chandler is bill he lately
introduced to regulate national elections.
What Senator Chandler doesn't know
about regulating Southern elections in t
worth knowing, and he may be accepted
as standard authority On the subject. A
man who conceived, organized and exc
cuted the theft OF Electoral votes OF two
States il 1876, and puts q man into the
Presidency who was defeated by quar-
ter million majority, must know exactly
what the South needs to regulate elec-
tons.
Circumstances have somewhat changed
since Senator Chandler perpetrated the
most 1nonstrous fraud OF our history IN
Louisiana and Florida. Then Chandler
had the Returning Boards il the aa1ds
O; carpet-baggers and !ventuaers, hnt
now it requires an election to eiac5 n
the South quite as much as It does IL tue
North, and Chandler isn't happy over
the idea. Let Chandler have q chance.
o. course, he will be expected to give
some reasons in support of his bill to
regulate national elections, and those
reasons would be incomplete without go
ing beck to 1876.
Senator Chandler has opened two very
Instructive issues for Congress and the
county if Congress shall give him q
chance to exhibit ChGndlerism in It's true
light rs Chandlerism would regulate
naval contracts and national elections, as
Chamberlain would present the maxi
nnm Of possible theft in both. Gave
Chandler chance.-Philadeiphla Times.
