why He Does No. Recommend the
Revival of the Lieut.. Generals Grade.
Secretary Lamonts letter TO Senator
Hawley. chairman of the Senate committee
on military affairs, in opposition to the bill
to revive the grade of lieutenant general
in the army bears out the statements
previously made in The Star in regard to
the matter.
The bill was known as intended to confer
the rank on Gen. Miles, now commanding
the army, though his name is not mention
ed in the correspondence. Accompanying
the Secretary's letter are extracts from the
military records of Scott, Grant. Sherman.
Sheridan and Schofield, who became lieu
tenant generals; also of Gems. Miles Ruger
ard Merritt who under the bill, would be
eligible to the grade of lieutenant general.
After acknowledging receipt Of the bill,
the Secretary says that since the organiza-
ton of the government but six officers OF
the army have held the grade of lieutenant
general, and In no instance has an officer
attained this rank until he has success
fully commanded the whole a separate
army in battle and active campaign. He
then states the circumstances attending the
revival of the grade. and the different Off
GERS upon whom the promotion has been
conferred. and concludes as follows:
THE present major generals OF our army
attained brilliant regulations for gallan-
try while comma nding subdivisions Of
army corps during the late conflict, and
have added to their laurels since by eff
cient performance of arduous service upon
the Indian frontier; but it is no reflection
upon these excellent officers to say that
the services they have so far rendered are
not of that exalted character that has
hitherto been regarded as prerequisite to
the advancement now proposed.
Noting that the grade of lieutenant
general has not been regarded a per-
nanent office necessary to our army or
ganizaton, and has been conferred only
upon a few of those officers who have rem
dc red marked service in war; that the COM
plimentary rank, when bestowed has often
been withheld until long after the demon
stration of this superior ability. and has
only been voted as a reward of great mill.

The sale of the Bethesda end of the line

wanted permanent Injunction. When the
case came up before the Circuit Court the
injunction was refused, and the creditors
carried the matter to the Maryland court

These estimations show that of all
the States that went Democratic in
1892, 1853 votes will be in favor of BIZ
metallism against e3 for the single
standard with 40 votes doubtful. 1t
also so shows that of the States that
went Republican SO votes are certain
to vote for the single standard and
that it may be put down as beyond
doubt that of these 8S votes every one
of them will be Republican in No.
vember next. While of the 48 Re.
publican votes that are put down as
certain for silver, every one of them
can be put down as certain Democrat,
ic in November on bimetallic plat
form.
From these figures, which we be,
lieve are as near correct as estimates
can make them this far in advance oil
the convention, the Whole situation
in a nut shell is this: That the Dem
ocratic party can not declare for the
single gold standard except from the
vote of States that are hopelessly Re-
publican, and that but for the dele
gates from these States the party
would declare for bimetallisn; that
should it declare for the single gold
standard and by this platform hold
the electoral votes of New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia, then Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consiu. Kentucky, Tennessee, North
and South Carolina would be certain
ly loss and the party would be de-
feated.
On the other hand if the party
should declare for bimetallism in ex-
change for the loss of New York and
other States there would be gain
of AZ electoral votes in the far west
and by carrying Indiana, Demo
cratic President could and would be
elected. Iii is impossible to elect a
Democratic President on a single
gold standard platform, while it is
highly probable that on a platform of
true bimetallism the party may score
a signal triumph.-Elizabeth
