volunteers, it must be remembered, are now, and
have for some time been pretty well fed on as
sentiments of home-prepared food in large boxes
but the regulars haven't had the benefit Of that
sort of thing TO any extent. On a day when
the rations had been particularly bad two colored
troopers announced that they going to the
fresh-water lake near by to catch fish, This

candidate While he was a picturesque
and daring soldier in Cuba, as a Repub-
lican candidate in New York he becomes
the nominee of the men who have just
effected the boldest robbery that has
been exposed since Tilden got after the
old canal ring. If the people of that
State allow themselves to be kept from
rehuking the rascals by anybody's war
record, they deserve to be swindled.
