Words and Music by X n. cRAwtoRD.

uouIs have passed within III +
walls Behind the piled-up agony the
nomination Of Mckinley stands un-
disputed and after the clouds have
fired their terrors and the roll of the
thunder is dumb in the distance the
light viii break upon the throng and
the session will close as peacefully as
cloudless summer day.
Hon. Cbas w. Fairbanks of Indi-
ana, was elected temporary chairman
and his speech opened with the fol-
lowing words:
Gentlemen Of the convention: am
profoundly grateful for this EXPIRES
sion Of your generous confidence. As
citizens we were never called upon to
discharge more important duty than
that which rests upon us-the nomi-
nation of a president and vice-presi-
dent of the United States. This duty
is peculiarly impressive one at this
moment, fer it is already written in
the book of fate that the choice of
this convention viii be the next presi-
dent and vice-president of this great
republic. Three years of democratic
administration have been three years
of panic, wasted energy. anxiety and
loss to the American people. without
parallel in our history. Today the
people turn to the republican party,
hopefully and confidently. and it is for
US to meet their expectations; it is
for rs to give them those candidates
upon whom their hearts are conferred.
and to give them clear. straight
forward. emphatic expression of our
political faith.
The republican party is a party of
convictions; and it has written its con
victions in the history of the republic
with pen and sword; with it the SUI
preme question always has been not
what is merely ''politic. but what is
everlastingly right. The great men
we have given to the nation and to
history, the mighty dead and illustri-
Gus living are our inspiration and
tower of strength. If we are but true
to their exalted examples, we cannot
be false to our countrymen.

DR.. Gasser spoke vigorously for the
Cleary resolution.
speechmaking was badly hindered
by the fact that many Of the delegates
would have to leave on the S:15 train
and that hour was nearly at hand.
The first vote was taken on the
Lewis resolution and to the surprise
of many resulted in the overwhelm :
ing defeat of the silver men-the vote
being 9 for the resolution and 81
against it. The Cleary gold-standard
resolution next came to vote. There
was much hurry and some confu-
sion in taking and counting the vote
owing to the concern ofdelegates that
they might miss the train. The chair
man Nj, Bartley who had been called
to preside announced the vote As for
and IS against the resolution. Mr.
Fl. Grimm made point Of order that
the vote was void inasmuch as there
were more votes cast than the con-
vention was entitled to cast. 1t seem
ed to be taken for granted that the
vote was illegal motion was passed
to lay the whole question on the table
which the chair declared passed and
which served as motion to adjourn.

Gently held in our own Grant county
court house. The financial elemeats.
as figured out by political sharps on

Il is thought that the convention
will not come to vote before some

plank declaration of our financial in
tentions will be when inserted in the
platform read something like the fol-

600 delegates will vote for it:
The republican party is unreservedly for

We are unalterabiy opposed to evert

therefore, opposed TO the free and unlimit-

tionaI agreement. and until such agreement
can be obtained we believe the existing gold
standard should be preserved. we favor

The Needle ia nay-stack round

A singular occurrence was witnessed
"a short time ago on the farm Of Mr..
Geo. w. Clark near Union Mills in the
town Of Dodgeville. He owned s very
fine 4vear-old bun, which, without
ever having shown symptoms Of dis
ease of anv kind and from no visible
cause. suddenly sent forth most
mournful and agonizing below and
dropped to the ground and in mo-
ment was dead. Mr.. Clark was much
surprised at the sudden taking off of
his favored animal and ordered an
autopsy which was carefully perform
ed and the investigation revealed a
large darning needle which had pene-
trated the cavity, which. it was deter
mined by the operators, had been the
primary cause of the mysterious
death of the powerful and apparently
healthy animal When or how the
needle had found its way into such a
strange lodgment is yet a mystery.

NUMBER 10
A Breath From the ola south.

Many OF the best things concerning
the civil war hayenever yet been told.
Not q few Of the incidents that show
IL eiearest light the real thought and
sentiment Of Che actors ii that the
greatest drama 81 the 10Th century
lie buried in undergraduates to be
awakened and revived by the fairy
strains Of memory's wandering min
strels harp Such was the occur
renee that gave rise to the following
poetic gem.
II was in 1866; General Calls was
thena Brevet Colonel and was Sta
toned at Huntsville, Alabama. as dis
trict superintendent of the Bureau of
Refugees. Freedmen. and Abandoned
Lands. After having made an official
trip to Montgomery he was returning
to Huntsville on the cars by way Of
West Point, Georgia. Some time be-
fore reaching West PoinA lady en-
tered the car but owing to its crowd
ed condition, was unable to find a
seat. She was prepossessing in appear
anee with an intelligent face showing
character and refinement. She was
dressed in deep mourning.
As soon as Col. Calls discovered
that there was a lady III the car with
ut seat he Immediately rendered
her the one he was occupying. Her
woman's quick perception told her
that She was talking to gentleman
and that though he was an officer in
fun uniform 81 hostile army, his
gallantry merited her nj gracious
consideration. She smiled and ac-
eepted the generous offer but on the
condition that the colonel would oe-
cnpy the seat with her. 1t Is unnec-
essary to state that the condition was
accepted
IN the conversation following it de-
yeloped that the lady was resident
Of Alabama, that her husband had
been killed fightag in the confederate
army and that she herself was reg
ular correspondent for the Atlanta
Constitution. Before parting the lady
aslsed permission q send to Col Calls
so aerostic lnmemor3 / their pleas
antaeQuaiutance and invited him to
reply The following is the aerostic.
Ii is interesting because Of its intrin-
sic beauty. because d the novelty Of
IFS occasion, and because ii shows that
there is a bond ofhumanity, Of respect
aud brotherly love between the inteIli-
gent peoples OF North aud south that
is stronger than the bitterness of war,
that was unbroken by clash Of arms in
battles
