nephew Of the gallant Worden of Monitor
and Merrimac fame.
The commander-in-chief addressed the
command at some length and was repeated
ly interrupted with applause. In the course
of his remarks he said:
We are, most of US, enthusiastic. active
members of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. We love that great organization and
are loyal to 1t, but. as the politicians have
discovered that the Grand Army is nom
political in character and does not as a body
figure in elections we take up the work
beyond what the Grand Army accomplishes.
We are organized to do political work in
the interest of the Union veteran Of the
war of the rebellion. We are, in fact the
teeth and claws of the Grand Army.
Here about Washington We have sorle
comrades who are humble men. poor and
unfortunate, struggling for existence. and |
propose that the nation. which they Sacri-
preserve, shall not now treat them and
theirs with neglect, and that in the matter
of all appointments to office the duties of
which they can properly discharge and of
retention and promotion therein the Union
veteran and his kin shall he preferred to all
others-especially to those and their kin
who endeavored TO wreck the country.
While / first for the cause of the
Union veteran. in party politics / happen to
be a republican and naturally hope for the
election again of a republican as the next
President of TIE United States. But trust
that no man will be nominated for the
presidency on the, republican ticket who
does not in advance pledge himself to pref
erence for the Union soldier as / have iust
outlined. If he does not, can tell you right
here and now that he is not going to be

ed Great Falls Road Also.

The purchase Of the Metropolitan and
Columbia Railway companies was practi-
cally consummated today when Mr.. Fred
erick C.. Stevens paid at the American Sc
curity and Trust Company bank the sum
of 100000, which, according to the terms
of his agreement to buy the roads, was
to be deposited with the trust company
three days after the 18th instant if satisfied
with the amount of the offerings made for
sale of the stock of the two roads, respect
ively AS stated in The Star Saturday, Mr..
Stevens was that day notified that stock
holders of the Metropolitan Company own
ing 1859 out of a total of 10000 shares
had offered to sell their holdings at the
price named, $3.50 per share, and that stock
holders of the Columbia Company owning
1854 out of a total of 5000 shares had Of
fered to sell at the price named, $3.50 per
share. While under the terms of the agree
ment Mr.. Stevens has until the 18th day of
September to compete the payment of the
entire purchase money, which reaches the
large figure of s5,05s,17O,, yet it is his in

PCrchase of the Great Falls Road.
Mr.. Stevens has finally purchased the
Great Falls railroad from Mr.. Stison Hut
chins, who, it is said, owns all the bonds of
the road and nearly all the stock. The con-
sideration is understood to be $43000O
This road connects with the Metropolitan
railroad at the union station in George
town. and its purchase completes the larg-
est financial undertaking ever known in
local circles.
With the exception of the Capital Trac-
tion company the interests represented by
Mr.. Stevens now own all the street rail-
road companies in this city.
The plans for the handling of these prop
critics have not yet been fully worked
out, and therefore it has not been deter
mined whether they are to come under one
corporate name. or under one management
with distinct names. clause in the char
right to that company to purchase connect
ing and intersecting street railroads, and it
is possible for the Great Falls company to
buy all the roads owned by Mr.. Stevens.
However, it is expected the roads, not
now in good condition. will. as
possible, be equipped with modern electric
systems, and that through cars are to be
put on the lines so that passengers coming
in from Cabin John bridge, Rockville. For
est Glen, Benning, Berwyn Md, and Con-
greSS Heights will be carried not only into
the heart of the city, through the city to
outlying points on the system. There is to
be a liberal plan of transfers with the lines
within the limits of the city. 1t is the in
tention to greatly improve the facilities of
communication between the suburbs and
the city. and between the various portions
of the city reached by the roads owned by
Mr.. Stevens.
