OF EXPERIENCE

ITanser, of Montana. has made many friends in
his numerous visits TO New-York. Those men who
come in contact with him seem speedily Ia feel that
he ia "a man to ito tor according to tho Mississippi
River phrase. Yesterday of the early incidents

by friend Of his. 1t happened long before he became
a banker and capitalist. Some timo I'm 1863 no went
with a party OF ten twelve men into the Yellow
stone country prospecting for gold and town sites
The region was swarmng with hostile Indians and
the partys experiences were terrible. Some were
killed, others wounded Their position at
time desperate that a wounded man deliberately
blew out his brains in ORDER that he might not be
hindrance to the rest OF the party in their escape
Being again pursued by the Indians the party got TO
the mountains, whore there a dim old trail,
and prepared to make stand and fight. Tho trail
ran along under large rock Tho captain Of the band
thought II would be better TO send -wo mon
the dim trail around behind the rock, but did not
like 10 order eny ono to go, as they would have to
receive the whole fire of the Indians, who were sup

"If you think it will increase the chances Of moro

starting for Chicago the other day. Mrs Grant has
been visiting the homo of her sister, Mrs. Potter
Palmer, and the Colonel was going out TO remain

Judge Gresham as the Presidential candidate Who
ever is nominated however," he said "will receive
my vote as Republican, although might work harder
for some than others. / guess that Is human
nature all over After my fathers support by the
party and my own, could not do otherwise IL had
the disposition. / think the party should take fair
stand for revision Of the tariff with protection as the
keynote OF the revision. There should also be strong
'plank in favor of high license and local option, which
Will furnish moral issue. Beyond that, think the
fewer planks We have the better will be of Tho
voters should not be confused by too many issues
These the main questions Of the day, and the vital
ones.'
When Senator Shelby NJ. CullOm was here recently,
a prominent public man pointed him out as an example
Of the integrity of American statesmen In this way
"Cullom is poor that his Senatorial Office Is inter-
ally burden to him. Yet he has been In public lie
so long that 1t would be impossible for him now TO
retire He must wear ont in the harness II IS In
contemplating such men as Cuom, General Harrison,
and Senator Allison that becomes impressed with
the Integrity Of American statesmen. These men
have all had great opportunities afforded them through
official positions to become wealthy. Why, Cuiiom
could have been millionaire by taking the other side
on the interstate commerce question Yet they are
all poor.n
The typical man OF the New South IS the one who
accepted the results Of the war and his own dclea'
with cheerfuness and went to work with VIII.
Hundreds of such men to be found all over inc
South. One Of them is Nathaniel Baxter, j., ol
Nashville who IS president Of the Tennessee COAL
Iron and Railroad Company, one of the largest cor
porations in the Southern States 1t Is In chatting
with men like Mr.. Baxter that something OF inc
New South's future can be ascertalncd lie talks In
this way:

rode out of the field where had left my sword ana
pistols stacked up in front of an officer OF the Union

that eXpected from this Government was TO be per

and accepted 1t the righteous result of the appeal
TO arms that / should be dsfranchsed, and forever

The idea that might become eligible again 10 ONCE

The mon OF the South Will reflect credit upon u when

It. No crisis Will ever come when the men OF The
South Will not respond TO the cali as ioyahy as any

This leads to me to say" said Nj. Baxter that hav

tho Republican party has accomplished some WONDER
full things In the history Of this country 1t sprang

Territories and thon became the medium through
which slavery abolished. In spite OF the suer-

evils with which We have to contend and the difficulties

would not IL it could take back the institution OF
slavery whore It was abolished by tho Emancipation
