he had received while on the stump, was re-
ceived here. 1t is but a repetition Of an old
story. The South never hears but one side,
either on the stump or in its newspapers If

General Dan Sickles, who was one Of the
Tammanv delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton, excited much comment among his re-
publican comrades at the encampment by
praisiug the soldierly qualities Of General
Harrison, and by laying particular stress
upon the fact that he fought for the Uuion
instead of hiring substitute as Mr. Cleve-
land did This, taken in connection with
the dislike which Gen. Sickles is known to
feel towards the democratic nominee, caused
the prediction to be freQuetly made that be-
fore election day he would be openly work
ing for Harrison and Reid; and he is not by
any means the only democratic member Of
the c. A. R., who dislises Mr.. Cleveland.
Hundreds of them stated while here that
they could not bring themselves to support a
man like Mr. Cleveland when his opponent
was a cOmrade whose bravery they had seen
tested and proven on the field Of battle and
not few Of them announced their determi-
nation to work and vote for Comrade Harri-
SON. and this, mind you, was without any
solicitation from their republican comrades,
for no partisan political talk was INDUCED in
at the eucampment, the veterans were not
here on political errand, but to join their
old time comrades and to have a good time
and they did precieselY what they came for
and nothing else,
