MISSEAPOLrs, Aug. 27.
THAT, sir, is whagll make tho orators Of
this couatry." said whiskercd veteran, as ho
listened to the impa5sioned speeches Of the
nominators in the Sons Of Veterans En-
campmeut this morning. when tho merits
Of the various candidates were being ex-
t0led. And there was truth in the vets
words, too. The business Of the morning gave
way 10 that most important work, the selection
Of a Commauder-in-Ch Chief. There had been
any amount OF the hardest kind Of work for
tho various candidates. There were four active
men in the field: Col. Maccabc Of Boston; Hon.
Barlow s. Weeks, Of New York City; Gen.
Marvin l.. Hall. Of iIillsialc Mich, and Col.
T. H. Niham, Of 81. Paul, MINI.
II became evident early in the preliminary
canvassiug that Col Milham could not be elect
ed. aud so he would not allow his name 10 be
brought before the Convention. He is a very
highly-resprctcd man, and would have been an
excellent officer, but be was from the West,
and il was the general opinion that an Eastern
man ought TO be chosen this year. Still tho
friends Of Gen. Hall believed that he a West
crn man. would be able to swing the thing his
way. In point Of fact it did look that way, for
in nearly all the 10 ballots that were taken
Hall led over his competitors, Maccabe and
Weeks.
From IL a. m. 10 $3.50 p. m, without intermis-
sion, the boys balotcd, the "stayeTs defeating
every motion 20 adjourn. IL became plainly
evident that there must BE- a compromise of
some kind. The three candidates went into a
little session OF their own and as a result Gen.
Hail and Col. Maccabe in words Of the warmest
loyalty 10 tho Order and of the finest shirt OF
fraternity, withdrew in favor Of Judge Weeks
There were deafenng cheers at this. but when
some one moved that Weeks be declared the
unanimous choice there was some opposition,
and so a final ballot was taken, resulting in his
being overwhelmingly successful. Tho votes
ran along at a very ever pace for the most
part. The full vote, emitting the scattering,
was as follows:

man, and his election was received with much
satisfaction

In the midst OF the balloting, and when the
three candidates were in consultation, the Com
maudeTy in Chief resolved itself into grand
chorus and sang the songs OF the soldier days
with fine effect. When the announcement Of
the final vote was made there was more tumul-
tuous cheering The general opinion is that the
new Commander. in. Chief will give TO the Or
der a fine administration one which shall DO
highly crcditablc 10 the Sons OF Veterans.

Death OF James Cnslden =.

James Cadden was born in Ireland 81
years ago and moved to this country with
his parents when quite young, and they
settled in the coal regions OF Pennsyiva-
mia. While yet boy, Mr. Cadden. fol-
lowing the gold excitement of 40, came
TO California, where, like the other pio-
neers Of that state, he engaged in placer
mining, following up excitements with
varied success until finally he came to
Arizona in the early '70's, first going TO
Signal, then to Greenwood, blackberry,
and finally to Chloride, where he per-
manently located, engaging constantly in
the pursuit Of mining.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Cadden came
TO Kingman with a shipment Of ore, and
upon returning to his home at Chloride
he was taken with la grippe, which rap
idly turned TO pneumonia. He was
brought TO Kingman and all that medical
skill and faithful nursing could do failed
TO rally the fast failing man, who at l1.15
q. m, Of April 18th, passed quietly away.
The funeral took place at III O'Clock the
mex itv AMI WAS largely attended.
Mr.. CAdden WAS widely known through =
out Mohave county, and was respected
and esteemed by all who knew him. He
was one of Natures noblemen, intelli-
gent, disnilei, honorable, true to friend
ships, and one whom to know was to re-
spect an love.
Mr.. Cidden was unmarried, but leaves
brother, Patrick Cadden, OF Grass Val
ley, California, a sister in Virginia City,
Nevada, and an aged mother and other
relatives in his former home in Pennsyl-
yanis.
