The hours strike, and the winter night
crawls on. Habit causes the convicts to fall

begins the nightly hubbub, of calls here and
there, rude jests, cries, curses II the
men had this spirit all together in the daily
promenade, it would be a bad sign for the
wardens, and it would not be long before the
Grande Roquette saw such another revolt as
was witnessed in 1886. But with the day the
prestige of authority returns. -
Glad to See Daylight.
The prisoners are unlocked from their cells
at am. They do not wash. The towels
given to them for that purpose are found
to be more conveniently used as mufders.
Congratulating each other on the return of
day, the prisoners straggle in weakened
rank past the bread distributor into the
work shops. From till am. 1t Is work
on bread and water. At o'clock they take
soup in the church. 1t is vegetable soup, the
rots and onions, in small quantity Actu-
ally 1t Is hot water favored and made greasy
with a certain amount of fat. And then be-
gins another promenade of half an hour.
The prisoners are back in their work
shops. At noon halt Of half an hour is call

delicacies as the more fortunate possess are

Virginia legislature should be ignored even
in the capacity of its members as citizens
for any purpose.
In pleading with the President I can now
see the Secretary, earnest and full of feel
ing, and the President listening in profound
thought, saying not word. The Secreta-
rvs manner was not that Of attempting to
rule the President it was pursuasive: 1t
was not his usual manner, it was argu-
n entative; 1t was an appeal to intelligence
and to judgment. 1t was an appeal to
Caesar. On this occasion the President had
no story to illustrate his position or that
of his Secretary. 1t was solemn occasion,
and upon that interview hung the destiny
of reconstruction, the peace of Richmond
and orderly government for the southern
people.
Mr.. Stanton prevailed and the President
wrote and sent to Gen. Weitzel the follow
ing telegram, which was the last he ever
wrote:
President LincoIn's Last Telegram.
Il have just seen Judge Campbells let
ter to you of the 7th. He assumes, as ap-
pears to me, that 1 have called the insur-
gent legislature of Virginia together, as
the rightful legislature of that state, to
settle all differences with the United States
have done no such thing. 1 spoke of
them not as legislature, but as the gen.
tlemen who have acted as the legislature
of Virginia in support of the rebellion
did this on purpose to exclude the aSsump-
Indta 1 was recognizing them
rightful body. 1 dealt with them as men
having power de facto to do a specific
thing, to wit-to withdraw the Virginia
troops and other support from resistance
to the general government, for which, in
the paper handed Judge Campbell, 1 prom
ised a specific equivalent, to vita remis-
sion to the people of the state except in
certain cases, of the confiscation of their
property. l meant this and no more In
asmuch, however, as Judge Campbell mis-
construes this, and is still pressing for an
armistice, contrary to the explicit state
ment of the paper 1 gave him, and particu-
larly as Gen. Grant has since captured the
Virginia troops. so that giving a consid-
Grafton for their withdrawal is no longer
applicable, let my letter to you and the
paper to Judge Campbell both be with
drawn or countermanded, and he be noti-
fled of it, DO not allow them to assemble;
but, if any have come, allow them safe re-
turn to their homes" Z.
The history of this telegram is important
to show Secretary Stantons leadership in
the problem of reconstruction, and this
history / shall give in a subsequent chapter
in his own conversations. l think how
ever, it would make this chapter more COM
plete and satisfactory to know what were
President Lincoln'S last utterances on this
great matter of reconstruction.

The Sleepy Eye Dispatch hits
the nail pretty squarely on the
head when it says: Frank Day
was elected to the Republican con-
vention at Minneapolis as Blaine
man-but he voted for Harrison.
Frank Day aligned himself with
the Washburn forces-but he turn
ed very suddenly to Nelson. Frank
Day was elected a delegate to the
district and State Republican con-
vention this year to select delegates
to the national convention and
helped instruct those delegates for
McKinley-but now he is working
against those instructions and try
ing to defeat Mckinley. Frank
Day is personally a crack-a-jack
but politically he is good deal of
jumping jack:
Lieut.. Gov. Frank A. Day, of
Fairmont, was in Marshall this
week. He would like very much
to step into Congressman Nc
Cieary's shoes this fall, and topped
out Of the Republican party which
made him several years state SEN
ator, and lieutenant governor, to
take the Democratic and Populist
nominations for congress, and now
he is swinging around the circle
meeting old friends and making
new ones, who are glad to see him
but who won't vote for "a good fell
low" against the second district
congressman who in his two terms
has won an enviable national repu-
tation, and been appointed to i'm
portant committees and counsels.
It looks rather odd to see Frank
hobnobbing with the Popocrat
leaders, and it must seem rather
strange to him. Marshall Mess

The influence, which money
power can exercise, was never
more clearly illustrated than at the
recent Chicago Democratic Con-
vention, when handful of silver
mine owners and their lieutenants,
who had just quit the Republican
party, appeared on the scene, and
appear to have dictated in nomi-
nation.
It is an open secret that check,
for about $225.OO0 came to the con-
vention, which was contributed al
most entirely by share holders in
silver mine owners, largely in one
corporation, to be given for cam
paign purposes, provided a certain
candidate was nominated, and the
Silver Kings, made their many
times greater contribution, de-
pend upon a nomination of their
choice, a republican, or else, man
whom they would name, and that
the man they named was nominal
