At GETTYSBuRCH,

Over hundred thousand people, it is
estimated, have attended the reunion ex-
ercises at Gettysburgh this week. They
began on Monday. Tuesday the Grafton
was delivered by George William Curtis
of New York. An extract will serve to
show something of its tenor:
Here at Gettysburg Mead and his lieu
tenants have written their names in our
history. With other fields the famous
captains of the last great chief of the war
have identified their renown; Sherman.
who has Outlived all foes and calls every
true-hearted American his friend; the ST.
lent, noble, generous Thomas; Sheridan,
our romantic Murat, our chivalric Ru-
pert, whose laurels will crown with un-
fading lustre the memory of the bravest
of the brave; and great multitude of
gallant officers worthy to rank with
these and to lead men as dauntless as the
men they fought But by happy Prov
idence it was decreed that the leader
OF all these leaders and of the united
armies should be a patriot with whom,
at the head of a million of victori,
Gus soldiers, American liberty was as
secure as it was with Washington
whose magnanimity was worthy of his
country, who, dying, knew no section
and no foe, and by whose bier, forecast
ing the happy day that we behold
walked, mourning and honoring, the
lieutenants of Lee, his old foemen in the
field. Might people not justly consider
itself the favorite of heaven which, led
by Washington to independence, then
torn by angry domestic strife, should find
itself brought to perfect and enduring
peace, with malice toward none, with
charity for all, by the patriotism of Lin
coin and the magnanimity of Grant.

HARRISON IN INDIANA.

Republicans this year get quite as
much encouragement from Democratic
journals as from Republican. The for.
mer are trying to impress upon their
readers the gravity of the situation in
order to induce them to enter upon the
fight in earnest. Here, for instance, is
the New York Sun giving the facts
about Gen. Harrison's canvass for COVER
nor of Indiana in 1876. G. S. Orth was
nominated for the governorship by the
Republicans, but withdrew by reason OF
disclosures made concerning him. Ther
Gen. Harrison was put forward. Six
officers were voted for at the election
and the returns showed that the Repub
lican candidates had received

Hon. Aldace F. Walker and family

The st. Johnsbury Republican announ-
ces the serious illness of Col. Fayette F.
but now of Minneapolis. The nature of
his illness, says the Republican, is some
what obscure, but it seems to be some
kind of foreign growth in the interior OF
his chest,
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1888-07-06

The Sun gives these figures and adds,
evidently in no very hopeful mood;
In the light of these figures, which
yield nothing of their accuracy either to
Republican enthusiasm or to Democratic
hopes, and which are, in fact, the solitary
point of guidance in General Harrison's
long career as Republican leader in In
diana, it seems safe to conclude that so
far as that State is concerned he is man
devoid of antagonisms, without enemies,
and without any large or imposing per-
sonal and friendly following. Running
for governor twelve years ago, he receiv-
ed about 5000 more votes in the State
than another Republican would have
done if candidate under like conditions.
His six years service, from 1880 to 1856,
in the United States Senate, undoubtedly
strengthened and cemented his hold on
the party organization in Indiana; and
the fact that he is now candidate for
President will doubtless call out a larger
Republican vote there than would have
been the case had the nominee been Sc
lected from another State. Four or five
thousand votes of difference do not usu-
ally matter much, and in most States
they would not affect the result at all.
But Indiana has always been uncomfort-
ably close, and it gave at the last State
election Republican majority of 1924.
If General Harrison develops strength
and popularity enough to retain or in
crease this lead, the Republicans will
prove correct in their calculation that the
chances of winning Indiana are decidedly
in their favor.

PARKRRsBURa, April 1.-Hon. Daniel
B. Lucas, the orator, poet, statesman
and lawyer of the Eastern Panhandle,
was in the city yesterday and said some
interesting things in conversation.
Speaking Of the coming State election,
he said the result was very problemati.
cal and admitted that the Republicans
had o good chance for victory. He said
that if the Democrats make their State
platform on the basis Of Cleveland's
message it will split the Democrats of
the Third district all to pieces.
Concerning Senator Camden's candi-
dacy for the Gubernatorial chair, Mr..
Lucas said that II there was anything in
it 1t meant that Camden will turn
over his strength after while TO Col.
w. N. Chancellor. Camden and Kenna
have been looking askance at each
other since the last election, and Mr..
Lucas thinks that Camden will make il
hot for Kenna in the race for the Sem
ate. IN
When asked about the manifesto to
the citizens OF West Virginia, which he
had said that he intended issuing con-
cerning the Faulkner-Lucas contest,
Mr.. Lucas replied that he had prepared
1t, but that he had concluded not to
issue it, as it would probably do no par
ticular good, although it embodies the
opinion of many Of the most distin-
guished jurists in the country.
