Mr.. Atkinson continued: We are be-
ginning to- feel that there is no North,

be thing OF the past; and we rejoice
-aar it is SO. Cooperation is the con-
trolling spirit of the present. and the
soldiers of both armies are leading on.
There is another fact which I desire
90 mention to-day. because it is one of
the live questions of the hour. 1t is
this. II The government had the right

is i'm honor bound TO protect them in
their declining years. A government
that does not protect the men that pros
tectJd it, is only government in name
our soldiers from 81 to '65 were the
government. I'm those trying hours in
,h6 life OF the Republic our army was
our only stay: The soldiers We're the
nation then, and they are the nation s
wards; and 1t is the few and not the
many who have the temerity to say
that they shall not be muniicently

The speaker paid a glowing tribute
20 the old soldiers and TO the noble wo-
men of the Republic, which was heart
Ily cheered by the great audience.
And then the speaker left the subject
and got OIL ON the money question. and
i'm q iEht-of-h8nd way, discussed il
politically TO a great length.
I'm closing, the speaker said:
"Au OF MS, as patriotic Americans,

To-day as we are thinking and talk
I ing about the herOism OF our soldiers
who put down the greatest rebellion OF
modern times. all of us-the Federal

patriotic sentiment contained in the

Frank Maciewiski, of Cincinnati, and
Johnny Layack, of Cleveland, was
pulled of at the Metropolitan Athletic
Club last night, in the presence of
about four hundred sports, including
small delegations from Pittsburg,
Cleveland and Cincinnati. Lavack
had decidedly the better Of the contest
from start TO finish, but as the men had
agreed that it was to be declared a
draw if both were on their feet at the
end Of the twenty-ffth round, there
was no alternative for the referee.
Lavack did most of the work, his oppo-
nenJ acting on the defensive. The box
ing was lively and interesting for fif-
teen rounds, and after that the men
loafed. In the last two rounds, La
vack tried hard TO put out Maciewiski,
and had all but succeeded when the
gong rang. The Cincinnati boy was

Yesterday afternoon an unknown
woman, mute, arrived at the b. & O.

she stopping over here that she might
take the next Wheeling & Lake Erie

Alexander to issue a challenge for him

BRICE ON SILVER.
He Thinks There Was No Call for a
Declaration on the Part Of the
Ohio Democracy on a Question on
Which All Parties are Divided.

Columbus, O., May Ex-senator Cal
vim S. Brice has written letter to a
Columbus Democrat on the situation
in Ohio Referring to free silver, the
Senator covers the history of the green
back craze. says he is a large borrower
for public improvements and is able to
look at the matter from their point OF
view, and predicts that the free silver
craze will end and be discredited as
the greenback craze was.
After poining out that this is a COM
mercial question, not a political one,
and cannot be regulated by law in op-
position to the sentiment of the COM
mercial world, Mr.. Brice concludes:
4 have many hundreds of letters
from prominent men in every portion
of Ohio. and the calm judgment of
very large number is that it would be
ruinous to the Democratic party TO go
to the extreme contemplated. | care
no more for gold than for silver 1t
makes little difference what happened
in the past, legislators must be govern
ed by present conditions regardless OF
their own preference.
MY reference to President Cleveland
in a former letter was merely to show
that in the present condition of the
Democratic party there was no reason
for declaration in the Ohio State coma
vention this year on a question where
there was a considerable portion of the
party on each side Of national ques-
ton. and not intended to say that the
individual Democrat must blindly fol-
low in his beliefs those Of the Demo-
cratic President. I took the liberty of
differing from the President on the
tariI question la year, and would not
have wanted the State convention 10
declare either way until there was at

Yesterday was a bad day for alleged
crooks who dropped into town to see
how Memorial Day was being observed
and have a look about the city gener-
ally.

were rounded up by the police and put
