II heartily concur in the sentiments
expressed In Judge Taylors letter in
last Sundays Astorian.
II do not approve Of the TRADES made
by certain Of the press In this city,
against the railroad work being done
here, and the motive actuating its
builders. To damn Hammond is 10
double damn ourselves.
I'VE are so far ahead Of the game
and have one Of the best pieces Of road
ever built in the United States. We
have tried a hundred different would
be capitalists and railroad builders, bu;
Hammond is the only man who had the
brains, money and will to build the
road. We have lacked unity and ener-
gy in pushing our affairs, and If we
would only talk and work together for
the furtherance of the interests Of the
town we live in, instead of against it,
all would be right 1t is a dirty bird
that fouls its own nest.
The talk against Flavel and the
depot is not only untruthful, but is
detrimental to every man, woman and
child in the city, as well as those in
tending to make this their future
home. Such misstatements can be rec
ognlEed as such here, but people abroad
can have no means of knowing. without
investigation as TO their truth"

newspapers published the following,

THE steel rails for the Astoria and
Columbia River Railroad have been
shipped to San Francisco; the railroad
stops at Scow bay, and Mr. Hammond

True or false. this was represented
as report from an Astoria paper. Per-

FORTY THOUSAND
VETERANS IN LINE
G. A. X. Eneampment at st. Paul One
Of the Largest Gatherings
Ever Known.
TOUCHING SCENES WITNESSED
A Living Flag the Sensation Of the
Day-Politics Of the Encampment
VIII Be Taken up Today
Many Candidates.

Special to the Astorlan.
st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 2.-Nearly forty
thousand veterans tramped the streets
Of St. Paul for several hours today. the
occasion being the parade at the ma
tional encampment Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic.
II was just half past eleven o'clock
when the head Of the parade reached
the grand reviewing stand at Smith
Park. where General Walker took his
place on the platform. and the irst di-
vision. headed by the veteran signal
corps. passed in review. 1t was 2:55
this afternoon when the last post Of the
big eighth division. containing Mime
sota's veterans. had passed. and there
was scarcely a noticeable break in the
line. A chorus Of young girls, arranged
as a living flag. was the feature Of the
day that most appealed to the march
ing veterans, and many touching scenes
were witnessed in front Of the NAM
moth chorus. The children had been
thoroughly trained by Prof. i. a. Cong
don. Of the city schools. and were quick
to respond TO his every signal. As the
head OF each department arrived the
strains Of their mingled voices could be
heard above the music Of bands, in pa
triotic greeting. as they sang the same
song of the many songs they had pre-
pared for such greetings. And old SOL
diers, as they came past the corner
and saw the great chorus beautifully
representing "Old Glory" quickly
doffed their hats and waved them in
the air as they shouted their apprecia-
ton, paying little heed to the tears that
streamed their careworn checks
The parade has been in mind to such
an extent that the politics of the en-
campment must take a back seat and
wait for the business session to open
tomorrow. The candidates are still be-
ing urged by their friends. the leaders
being Rear-Admiral eMad, Major T. s
Clarkson. and New Hampshire's candi-
date, Comrade Linehan. II seems to-
night 10 be the dividing between the
East and West and the fact that Buff
falo will surely get the next encamp-
ment may affect the result. as the
different sections are somewhat jealous
OF the honors. There are more candi-
dates and they will have strong sup
port, but these are the leaders. The
other officers will depend considerably
upon the result Of the election Of COM
mander-in-chief.

MAJOR MCKINLEY,
Is Overwhelmed with Letters and Tele-
grams Of Congratulation.

Canton, Sept. 2,-Ever since Mckinley
returned to Canton from Columbus he
has received at his home an immense
volume of mail and telegraphic matter.
but the conditions this week surpass
that of any time since the campaign
opened. Heavy as was the flood Of
elegrams and letters on his nomination,
1t does not approach that which has
followed his letter of acceptance. The
mail can no longer be handled in the
ordinary manner Of neatly tied pack
ages, but is now delivered in sacks, and
the number of kilograms, were they
counted, would be surprising in the
highest degree. Such time as can be
spared from callers and visiting dele
cations is being devoted by the major
to these messages. He has signed as
high as 1860 letters of acknowledgment
in one evening. and still those requir-
ing attention continue to accumulate.
Today came flow Of kilograms on the
Vermont result. which everywhere m
Republican circles seems to be accepted
as a true index of the result to follow
in November.

The Acantha's Tramp.

The tramp was pleased for once
that he could walk. The other
day he vas going to Choteau and
cached himself under the mail
sacks in the rear end of one of Bur-
gy's stages. He "a in a hurry,
having business with some demo-
cratic candidates, helping them to
find their chances for election.
He rode as long as he could stand
it and then concluded that he had
not time to spend in that way. He
got out and started on ahead. He
got into Choteau, had his business
done and hal spent a long time
working Butler for a drink when
the stage sneaked up to the post
office with some letters Noah wrote
to Sam Potter, just after the del
uge.
The silver question is botherlng
the tramp considerably these days.
He found a silver spoon at the
back door of the hotel and imme-
diateIy adjourned to Nash's ex-
change to do business with ttat
gentleman. He vas told plainly
that his work was too coarse when
the tramp suggested that Mr..
Nash take the spoon to the mint
and have it coined; he told him to
go fan himself. He wanted six
teen silver spoons for one golden
elixer of life.
