asked for the grounds of her jeremiade
she said that Wesleyan ministers of the
earlier part of this century rose early
in the morning, and that dear Mr.. Wes-

Loyalty to the Old Flag.
Norfolk Virginian.


No man in the country more
largely enjoys the respect and es-
TEEN of his fellow countrymen,
without regard to.party or section,
than does General John B. Cor
don, commander-in-chief of the
Confederate Veterans, and none
deserves to.
When war came, John B. Cor
don, without hesitation, cast his
lot with the Confederacy, fighting
throughout that eventful period
with valor and determination, and
not until ordered by his superior
officer did he lay down his arms.
Being philosopher and a patriot,
he understood that when Lee
yielded up his sword at Appomat-
tox it meant the end of the Con-
federacy, and that henceforth
there could be only one people
and one flag in these United States;
and recognizing that fact, he ac-
cepted the situation, and the world
knows how we'll he has striven to
renaevs from the minds of his
countrymen all unpleasant reeol-
lections of unhappy strife which
came SO near dividing the country.
Whether in the North or South
The always commands attention,
and no man has done so much to
| heal the wounds of war as this
gallant ex-Confederate, who has
|again been chosen as the leader of
the vanquished host in their peace
full missions. At the late reunion
OF the ex-Confederates at Nashville
General Gordon was reelected
! commander-in-chief and from his
remarks on that occasion the Vir-
ginian publishes the following:.
+ Mrr~ President, as fbng< as, THE
South's flag could be held aloft' in
the smoke and storm of battle, nc
man followed it, I think, more
loyalty or lovingly than myself
and the Judge of all hearts is my
, witness that I would freely have
given for its triumph the last droI
, of BIbodsin these veins. No mar
, is more loyal now to the hall6wee
memories that are embalmed Will
it, but wheu-that flag went dow1
at Appomattox, when the fate O.
war made it certain that thi
country was to remain one;.witl
D one flag and one destiny, I turns<
, my thoughts and lxbors to tn
upbuilding of that one countr,
which WIS beemeathed to all tn
sections by the fathers. From tn
k morning at Appomattox to thi
? hour in Nashville it has been m,
e highest political ambition to b
q an humble instrument in the res
II toration of fraternity and unit
to the once divided and embittere
/ sections, upon basis consisten
with the honor aud manhood G
tall.
II These are the words OLA patriot
; He states his position clearly, an
every true soldier in the land er
y dorses what he says. John T
. Gordon fought with valor unit
y the end at Appomattox, the
70 turned his attention to peacef,
y methods. He stands today a Gel
q trail figure among his countrymel
=, the people of the United States
~ which is now as much the hon
~ Of the men who fought for "tl
cause they could not save" as
w is that of those with whom the
" were SO long engaged in dead
" strife. If there were more men
- the United States like John ]
- Gordon the differences of the pa
- would uot have been so difficult
adjustment.

The Democrats In Ohio.
New York Journal.


The special correspondent of
the journal in Ohio, Mr.. James
Creelman, calls particular atten-
ton to the general harmony exist
ing among the Democrats in that
State. Although a strong declara-
ton by the convention in favor OF
the free coinage of silver was fore
goneconclusion, former gold Dem
ocrats and men who voted directly
for Mckinley, sat in the con-
vention as delegates and hear
tily approved its every act. Such
eminent recalcitrants of 1896 as
Ex-Governor Campbell and others
have returned to the fold and
come seeking nominations to Of
flee. The fusion of the Populists
and the free silver Republicans
with the Democrats is complete.
It would be an reinstatement
to assert that the return to their
| Democratic allegiance of so con-
siderable proportion of the de-
serters of 1899 is wholly due to
their conversion to belief in the
merit of the free silver dog ma.
Rather is it probable they have
discovered that by their antago-
nism to that article in the Demo
cratic creed they have brought
down upon the United States evils
vastly greater than even they
could conjecture as resulting from
literal enforcement of the Chlca-
go platform. They have seen
plutocracy triumphant through
out the land. Congress has been
surrendered to greedy tariff eaters
: and has yielded servile obedience
t to the crack of the trust magnates
l whip. Illinois, which contribu
ted, heavily to McKlnley's cleo
ton, has fallen into the hands Of
corruptionists and spoilsmen, ano
