AN INCIDENT.

Among others who met Mr.. Bryan, our
next president, when he journeyed
through Missouri, was Mr.. j. g. Russell,
secretary Of the Bryan Sewall club, Lex
ington. In company with a large crowd
from here, he met the Bryan delegation
at Lexington Junction last Saturday
morning.
While in the depot at Lexington juno
ton, Mr.. Russell hurriedly wrote Mr..
Bryan a brief note of good wishes for his
campaign, and gave this note to Mr.. Geo.
Wilson, populist nominee for congress
from this district. Mr.. Wilson accompa
MED Mr.. Bryan as far as Hardin, and
gave him the letter, which seemed to
please him, as an expression from one of
the staunch democratic clubs of Did Mis-
souri,.
We publish below the letter and reply
Of Mr.. Bryan, as written across the face Of
the same:
"Hon. W. ]. Bryant
"DEAR SIR:-Lexington (Mo.) and La

are with you in your grand fight for the
people, as opposed to Hannaism. Hur-
rtedly yours, J.. G.. R~UssELL."

to battle; also of the hardships of these
old Mexican veterans, and mentioned thu
capture of the historic cannon, "Old Sac
ramento," afterwards used by Col. "Hi'
| Bledsoe In the confederate cause, from
1851 to 1866. 1t was an interesting and
| sympathizing address, pertinent to the
occasion.
The band then rendered "Dixie' and
"Yankee DOODLE" which aroused great
enthusiasm. The Concordia band is one
of the best in the state.
Next was the address OF welcome, by
Mayor John Taubman, as follows:
Veterans, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In 1916, when war was declared against
Mexico, among the volunteers of Mis-
souri, there vas n company from Lex
ingtOn, who, under the gallant Colonel
Doniphan, made their historic march of
seventeen hundred miles into the
enemies country n assisted in hosting
the stars and stripes over the Mexican
capital. Now, after half a century has
passed away a YER small remnant of
that army of volunteers of Missouri
have met in our city in their eighteenth
annual reunion.
In 1861, when wal was declared
between the north and the south, two
great American armies were organized.
The confederate army for the purpose
of establishing a separate and indepen-
dent government. and the other for the
preservation of the union. After fOur
years of bloody strife peace was declared.
The victors and the vanquished returned
to their respective homes to build up
the waste places and to cultivate the
arts of peace.
Since that time the survivors of these
three great American armies have

wars, but to keep alive the fire of

THE CELEBRATION.

The thirty-fiifth anniversary celebra-
ton of the battle of Lexington, yester.
day, was more of a success than was
anticipated, considering the inclemency
of the weather. The presence of the
| Mexican veterans added in no small
degree to the celebrity of the occasion.
On the original bottle ground of one
of the fiercest conflicts of the civil war,
the soldiers of two wars met yester-
day, reviewed the memory tablets of
vi~cissitudes, communed at the shrine
of American patriotism, enjoyed the
hospitality of a liberty-loving, God
fearing people, and separated, many of
them to meet no more until the final
muster roll call in eternity.
Lexington has every reason to be
proud of the in which the
celebration was conducted, and we
know that the veterans awoke this
morning fully appreciative of the treat
they received.
The battle of Lexington IS the
annual event of Lexington. 1t is the
day we celebrate. We celebrated yes
terday, sure enough.
