rode through the town of Mocksville In the
late afternoon of day Of wearisome tray

I'm recognition Of this fact, resolutions

the thanks of Congress for their heroic
and distinguished conduct"
Representative Berry, OF Kentucky,
who introduced the resolution IN the

officer TO whom the glory Is due shall
be recognized. Schley Is the real nero OF
the incident He and the brave band or
officers and men under his direction are
the ones who achieved the victory, and
all honor should be given them"
The failure on the part OF Admiral

No one questions the ability Of Admit

that he was not in the fight except at the

A REPUBLICAN PEACE.

The Baltimore American congratulates
the Republican party of Virginia upon the
healing of all discussions in its ranks
and expresses the opinion that it will now
be able TO do good work.
The settlement to which it refers was
erected through the medium Of that dis
tinguished political promoter the Hon
Marcus Alonzo Hanna. The interest that
Mr.. Hanna has been taking in Virginia
affairs for two years past is remarkable.
He is the generous fellow who furnished
the 'sinews of war" in the bold attemp,
made 10 wrest this State out o. the Dem
ocratic column two years ago.
He is the good, old soul who poured
out money so freely among the Republi-
cans of the Old Dominion that they got
TO quarrelling over its expenditure. In
deed, he may be said thus TO have been
the cause Of much of his party's trou-
BILE here; hence. upon no one else was
1t more incumbent than upon him to try
to restore peace.
However. we recognize the fact that
the Republicans of Virginia are united
once more. We guess also that they will
have some monetary help from MIR. Hanna
i'm November. 1t is true. he has never
been able to see the good done by his
last political investment here; but il
often happens in politics as in business,
that a man has to send good money after
bad. So we may expect Mr.. Hanna to
furnish campaign funds in several con-
gressional districts of this State this fall.
The national Republicans will have
many men from whom they may collect
funds this year. The patronage now at
the disposal OF the Federal Government
is immense, and it is not to be doubted
that those who have profited largely by
favors shown them will be persuaded to
contribute to The success of the admins
tration.
Is it unjust for us to entertain this sus
picion? We think not. Two years ago
men who wished legislation of certain
character put up" millions. Why should
those who are now actually receiving
the favors of the government be less
mindful of their obligations 10 the Re-
publican party?
Yes; we must believe the Republicans
viii have very great deal of money to
spend this year, and some of il may come
this way. SO we desire to serve notice
upon the Hon. Mr.. Hanna that we are
on the watch. and, If it be in our power
to do so, we Democrats will see TO it that
the Doodle" he sends here this year does
his party no more good than that sent
here two years ago.
