The HISTORIC OLD Camp.

The historic surroundings of thu
old camping grounds at Brattleboro
where the muster was held this year
are especially enjoyed by the old sol
diers. many Of whom wer,
stationed here during the late war
and many are the stories told relative
to the old camp and the stirring times
in which it had its existence. The
camp grounds were laid out in the
winter Of 1862 and were occupied at
different times By the 10th. Ilth, 18th.
18th, l4th, 18TH and 10th regiments.
There were here between 30 and 90
barracks, which would in all accom-
mOdate three regiments. Gov. Hol-
brook superintendent their construc-
ton. All but one were either taken
down and removed to the South with
the regiments, destroyed or made
over into cheap tenement houses.
At the request of Gov. Holbrook.
DIR. Lyman Of Royalton and Surgeon
+. h. Phelps of Windsor, President
Lincoln established a government
hospital on the grounds, with the un-
derstanding that the state Of Vermont
should furnish the buildings, bedding.
etc, while the government supplied
the stores. Soldiers were sent here
from all the northern states. and AT
the time OF Grants campaign in the
Wilderness there were over 100 sol
diers at the hospital at one time.
The records of George L. Green Of
Brattleboro, who was hospital stew |

that there were no less than 1000 pa

UNIQUE WAR RELIC.

TO OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Free silver Address Issued by the
state Executive Committee.
(By Associated Press. J

COLUMBUS. o., Oct. 4.-The Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee, Of
which A. w. Thurman is President and
w. A Taylor Secretary, has issued an
address to the voters of Ohio to the
effect that tariff reform has won and
that the money question is now the
supreme issue before the country. The
address contains about 3,40o words. and
is understood to have been prepared by
Mr.. Thurman.
The address declares, in propositions
Numbered up to the twenty-flrst, that
the demonstration of silver has caused
the fall of prices in this country: that
in silver countries prices have remained
stable: that the free coinage of silver
would not mean imitation: that the single
gold standard is forced upon the United
States by England: that there never has
in the world been such a thing as in
ternational money, and in all proba-
bility never will be: that there Is not
a single obligation OF the United States
Government, other than gold certih-
Gates, that is not, by the explicit terms
or silver; that gold alone does not afford
a sufficient basis upon which our paper
currency can safely rest; that free COIN
age Is not an experiment, but so far as
the single gold standard has gone, II
has been a most disastrous one; that II
the National policy is not changed I'VE
do not for one moment hesitate to abso-
lutely affirm that no matter whether we
have high tariff, low tariff, or no tariff
laws at ALL there can be no permanent
revival of business affairs"
