the suggestions of the hour, but
all or nearly all of the Democratic
State conventions thus far held
have re affirmed the Chicago plat

among its other planks:

comments rs follows:

THE WAR RELICS PRESENT.
ED.
Col Banding Takes the Flag and
Vase to Columbia.

Yesterday the venerable vetcr~
an of the Mexican and Civil wars,
Col j ID Blanding of Sumter, sar-
rived IN the city, bringing with
HIM the historic flag Of the Pal
mctto regiment that served in the
war with Mexico, and the ccle-
brated Jackson vase presented to
the regiment. Col Banding
went directly to the governors
office and turned these invaluable
relics, together with all papers re-
Iating to them, over to Gov Nc.
Sweeney to be placed in the State
house and there securely kept.
The extensive correspondence
between Col BIanding and Gov
McSwccncv leading up to this de-
livery of the war relics to the
governo" has already been pub,
lishcd in The State.
Col Banding was as full of
enthusiasm and patriotic fervor
as ever yesterday, and it almost
made him shed tears to bid fare.
well to the old flag and the vase.
lie has given the State all his
title to the vase, and has written
to all the other survivors of the
regiment urging them to do like
wise.
Col Blanding says he has been
urged to bring these precious
relics to the Louisville reunion.
but he felt that the relics should
he in the State house and would
not delay.
Ills meeting yesterday with old
"Uncle William" Rose, the col.
ored veteran of the famous regi,
ment, was most affecting.
Col Banding says the Mexican
war veterans have about 5000 in
hand, and it is now their earnest
desire to erect n monument to the
memory of their heroic and DASH
ING gcolonel-Butler-who fell on
Mexican soil, facing the enemy in
battle. He proposes to write the
State house commission asking
that body, If it has one of the
marble columns, now on the State
house grounds, left after the State
house is completed, to donate il
to form a portion of the proposed
monument.
