the following from the Cincinnati Com
mercial-Tribune:
"A Virginia paper calls Roosevelt the
Stonewau Jackson Of the latc war. The
comparison IS inapt, at least as Ear
as the religious side Of tho generals
are concerned and so far of in other
particulars, for Jackson was great
general. while Roosevelt H. simply a
dashing leader. The two men are as
different as the day and the night.
Upon reading this extract. an ex-Con-
federate officer, who served during the
entire war between the States, remarked:
81 should smile. The two men are differ
ent. 1 should say 50. one was a soldier'
the other IS a sensationalist. One was
a 'stayer,' the other IS gutter one

pating in one well-fought fight, lasting
forty-eight to fifty hours, in which his
command was given every opportunity TO
distinguish itself, cried out L want to go

of this Terrible Teddy should be more
modest, under the circumstances, and be
content to have him compared TO some
other heroes Of the present war OF 'sS-
Had it continued for year or two, ana
his dashing leadership kept up, he might
nossiblv have been counted in the class
with Dahlgren, Wilson, Kautz, or fltz
Lee. but impartial soldiers or historians
could never, under any circumstances,
rank a man OF his calibre with Stonewall
Jackson. Jackson, with a command OF
plain southern volunteer militia, without
regulars. or those celebrated Rough
Riders, pronounced by Terrible Ted to
be as good as regulars and far superior
TO our National Guardsmem, won for
himself a worldwide reputation which no
man Of Rooseyelts calibre could ever APP

HARRY SKINNER RENOMINATED.
REPRESENTATIVE Harry Skinner, Of North
Carolina. was renominated for Congress
in the First District by the Populst Con-
gressional Convention at Edenton yester-
dav. and was subsequently endorsed by
the Republican convention, when con-
yened at the same time and place.
District-Attorney Bernard and Railroad
Commissioner Abbott, who arrived here
to-day from Edenton, says that Colonel
SINNERS nomination by the Populist con-
yention was a decisive victory over Seha-
TOR Rutler. For months the Senator had
deluged the district with personal letters
Tn the estimated number Of 5000. IN his
EFFORT TO defeat SINNERS nomination.
The nomination was made by vote OF
nearly two 10 one. but the minority re-
fused 20 make II unanimous.
II IL understood that Senator Butler
followers in the district will not vote for
skinner. And this. with the Republican
detection in the district may imperiI

There is a decided prospect Of the cleo

District. IL being understood that he VIII

from what leading Republicans say 1t Is
evident that his defeat will not cause any
great sorrow in his party.
ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR BUTLER?
panublicans here predict another defeat
for senator Butler in the defeat or Rep
rosentative Strowd. in the Fourth Dis
trict He will be defeated for the nomina-
tion IL is claimed, either by jenkins, OF
warren. or Garrett, Of Vance.
The Republicans. IT is understood VIII
endorse either. in the event Of a nominal
tion but will not support StrOWd.
The vigorous Democratic campaign In
the state is a surprise 10 the Republican
managers. and they are not little alarm
ed at the situation.
