close TO the sidewalk on the north side of

a small American flag. The veterans were
marked off in files of eight. The Grand
Marshal issued his orders in true military
style, and they were obeyed with an
alacrity that was interesting.
The city gave the veterans an escort
of six mounted policemen. A brass band

both Confederate and Unionist stood
shoulder to shoulder to resist an enemy

Comrade Frank O.. Cole. who had every
cause to feel proud of his reception.
lie said that there was no class of
people more injured by free silver than
those comrades who by reason of wounds
or disease are incapable of earning a
living and are receiving pensions from a
generous country. The peoples gratitude
to these poor MANNED and helpless heroes
should prompt them to redouble their
efforts in this holy cause
MI. Cole thought 1t too late in the
canvass to discuss the financial question
put ne would only say that free silver
is only the newer phase or the latest
form OF lunacy which money mad people
have pressed on the country from time
to time ever since its foundation. No
government on earth has hitheto been
able to arrest or overthrow any law Of
nature, and he, Mr.. Cole, did not believe
it possible fer the United States Govern
ment in this year of grace to make two
and two five or to make so cents a hum
dred.
Mr.. Cole then said that to veterans the
most pleasing feature of this Campaign
is the fact that the last bitterness and
anguish of the war is buried for ever.
When that convention of loyal Demo-
Gratis met at Indianapolis and placed a
Union soldier at the head of the ticket
and an equally brave Confederate soldier

Confederate veterans journeyed to Cam
