AN OLD SOLDIER SPEAKS
Continued from list Page.
The foregoing are only a few of
your little tricks.

cised over my action in this cam
paign, and many reports have gone
to you from "the most loyal repub-
licans," of my disloyalty to the
whole republican ticket, l will give
you little information on the sub
ject that you can rely on, and it
will be from lone of the most loyal
republicans" too.
MCCONNELL, THE SOLDIERS ENEMY.
First, | am not giving Mcconnell
my undivided support for governor
for the following reasons: l look
upon him as a moral and social
leeper, and, as | stated to the board
of trustees Of the Soldiers Home
when l handed in my resignation,
my manhood revolts at such a man
being nominated by the republicans
for the high office of governor of
this state, and though stand alone,
/ will always oppose such man.
| shall not at this writing give
you in detail all my reasons for
refusing to support the republican
nominee for governor but will do
so in full later on if you so desire,
but the following is one of my
reasons:
/ am somewhat interested in the
welfare of the old soldiers, being
one myself. l know exactly what
it cost to carry a musket part of
the time and q saber the balance
of the time from Bull Run to
Appomattox. Instead of going to
the front with the other boys from
the loyal state Of Michigan, his ex-
cellency, to escape the draft, pack
ed his grip and skipped for the
state of Oregon where they had no
draft, and, since which time, no
man has taken more time to hate
the men who saved the Union than
w. j. Mcconnell.
Mcconnell fought the passage of
the Soldiers Home bill from the
time l first spoke to him about it,
until he was compelled to sign it to
prevent it becoming a law without
his approval, which would have
been the case in two hours
from the time of his APP
prevail. He would have vetoed it
if he had dared to, but he with all
his hatred for the G. A. r. did not
have the courage to face fifteen
hundred old Blue Coats, but he has
been pleased to fight us in an other
way, bush-whack US. What bush
whacker he would have made if he
could only have been gotten to the
'front.' Quantrell would not have
been in It'll Since the death of Hon
D. F. Mahana Zone of Gods Noble
men) a member of the Board OF
trustees, of the Soldiers Home, he
has had a majority o. the Board al
his beck and call. Gen'l Curtis anc
Dept Commander Barton of the
G. A. R. being in the minority had
little or nothing to say, and Nc
Connell through his henchmen or
the Board have spent the $4,000
of the peoples money that was ap-
propriated for the uses of the home
and the unfortunate old comrades
that the home was intended for, by
the legislature, have no shelter We
and will not until the next legis
lature makes another appropriation
for them. l think l hear you say
ooh, you got kicked out of the com
mandant's office and that's what
the matter with you" In reply t.
your sup posed assertion, will kind
ly inform you that 1 went out o
my own accord and the power die

understands in what contempt he
holds the old soldiers, and how he
has schemed to dfeat the Soldiers
Home being what the legislature
intended it should be, and then
casts his vote for him, he, the said
G. A. R. comrade, is more fit sub
ject for Blackfoot than the Soldiers
Home at Boise City.
1 am sure that he will not
receive a soldiers vote if his
attitude towards us is fully
understood. And, as their friend
I shall ask every man of them that
l can reach, to vote against him.
This will make business for your
mud artist Of the Stop Bucket, late
a Chicago Anarchist and democratic
ward heller, but remember that
have retained copy and will use
it if | have an occasion.
Now, if you are not fully satisfied
as to my loyalty to the party, just
call meeting of the central com
mittee, give me time to prepare fol
defense, and we will see who can
make the best show of republican
principles, you or |.
Most Obediently Yours,

Willis was the only foreign representative
who made any reply to the notices sent
them of the reception. To avoid the dis

as mere notifications, not invitations
and needing no reply. It, is learned
| that they were under general instructions to
avoid anything offensive TO the queen whom
| President Cleveland had announced his in-
tention of restoring. To have in any way
participated in a celebration of her dethrone-

her. Most of the consuls are in earnest

MISPLACED SWITCH THE CAUSE.


ST. ALBANs. Jan. 31.-The Messenger
says: A misplaced switch and wrong signal
at Swanton Junction caused a collision be-
tween No. 81 express train from Ogdens-
burg, and n freight train west bound about
10 O'Clock this forenoon. The switch target
was hidden from the view of Engineer Bar
ney Meagan of the express train by some
cars on IA siding, and when he saw the
switch was wrong he was unable to stop his
train in time to prevent collision with the
freight, which was moving slowly. Both
engineers used air brakes and reversed their
engines, but the trains struck hard badly
damaging the front ends of both ocomo-
tiVes.
Engineer Meagan was cut on the face and
was otherwised bruised, but his injuries are
not serious James Mcconnell his fireman.
escaped unhurt. Engineer Robert Sowles
of the freight was only badly shaken llp.
but his fireman named McDougal had his
right leg hurt and was buried in coal from the
tender. William Hutchinson, express mes
senger, was thrown down in his car and bruised
and cut on the face by packages falling on
him. George Banister the conductor on the
freight, was also thrown in the van and
slightly cut and bruised. None of the Das-
sengers suffered any injury other than some
bruises caused by stopping the train so sud
denly. The damage to rolling stock was
very light, aS none of the cars left the track.
and the passenger coaches We're not injured
in the slightest.

HIS FIRST SERMON.
Bishop Hall Greeted by "A Large Audience
at st. Paul's Church sunday.

The Right Reverend Bishop Hall preached
his first sermon in Vermont at st. Paul's
church Sunday morning. Before the
morning service he made a short address to
the Sunday school in the chapel. The
audience at the morning service was
limited only by the size of the
church. 1t included many from other
denominations and number from out of
town who remained in the city after Fri
days services. The bishop was assisted in
the service by Rev DR.. j. lsham Bliss, who
read the prayers and psalter, by Rev, g. a.

lessons and gospel. and by Rev. l.. NJ.

cination of the soul toward some object on
account of its excellence. Something moves
love. 1t might be n moral quality, posi-
ton in society, or riches. We were to see
that our love was regulated by right rea-
son. 1t was real worth that attracted true
love. True friendship was young and
fresh after half century; passion
grew old in six months. What did his
brethren love for What were his sisters
willing to be loved for? Love needed to be
guided by right reason. Gods excellence
must be seen to love him. Reason goes be-
fore love. Time should be given to the study
of God in his manifestation of himself in
Jesus Christ. What Christ was, God is.
Love was so often thought of as indugeut;
true love was that which regarded real
worth, was that which sought after real
worth. God loved too much to grant many
whims. Love was not grasping was rea-
sonablc and strong. 1t was a cause for
thanks that the epistle for the day made it
possible for him to choose this sub
ject for his first address, Many wondered
why love should be the main thought of the
Sunday before Lent, the time of sacrifice.
Without love all sacrifice all denia was
whimsical. The commandments except the
fifth, were positive negations. But Jesus
ChrlStS commands were ulTecl he sulti
Glove" directed in the right way. All things
were summed up in these two com
mandments. The cross was the SYM
Dol of love. Many wondered why
Christ chose the cross as means of
death. 1t was the symbol of self-denial.
1t was chosen partly because it was the most
ignominous means of death known and it
showed to what depth his love would go
to save men. Christ was love, true, per-
feet love.
Bishop Halls evening discourse was lis
tened to by a large audience. The theme
was taken from the 10Th chapter of st. John
and embodied the three-fold allegorical sig
niticancc of the parable of the good shep-
herd. The discourse was q mastery exposi-
tion of the value of needing the call of con
science and an application of the parable
to veryday christianity.

gius Professor of Divinity in Oxford, when

degree of d. d. from the university of Ok
ford on December Is. ] therefore venture
to send translation, although it falls far
short of the beautiful and sonorous Latin
OF the original, HALL HARRISON.
| present to you the Reverend Arthur
Crawshay Alliston Hall, Master in Arts of
Christ church. in whom we have signal
example of the close bonds of concord and
affinity which unite the Anglican church
planted in transatlantic countries with our
own church in Great Britain. For this
alumnus of our university, after devoting
hi, early years to the study of the liberal
arts, turned his mind to theology, and was
admitted to holy orders. Then, instead of
| undertaking the ordinary duties of a settled
parish priest. he entered the society of st.
| John the Evangelist, near Oxford, and was
commissioned to preach tho Word of God
wheresoever occasion might offer. Those
who are acquainted with ancient customs
will not be unaware that there has always
| existed in our university a power of issuing
| licenses of this description.
After a period of two years, their clergy
man was sent by order of his superiors to
America, and there in the United States,
and also in the neighboring Dominion of
| Canada he showed himself to be a preach
er of the first order. His sacred eloquence,
the uprightness of his life and his burning
love of religion We're gratefully acknow-
ledged by all who knew him. For period
of eighteen years he PASSED his life in the
city of Boston, the very citadel aud seat of
literatue and the muses. in the Western
world, as among those who were acute and
| intelligent judges of his power an orator
and preacher. Recalled to England by or
| der Of his supcriors, for two years last past
| he has pursued the same course of life.
And now, the Americans, not unmindful
| of what they owe him, have called him back
again to a greater and higher dignity. Or
iginally an English citizen, by ordination an
English presbyter, the clergy and laity of
the diocese of Vermont. have by their free
sutfrages elected him to be their Bishop.
Bidding farewell to his own people, and tc
his own home, obedient, as he hopes, to the
Divine call, this our alumnus, our foster
son. is about to take his departure Let us
send him away, with still higher university
honors, so as to show the friendship which
is due to the vast Western republic, and to
