rode past the reviewing stand. All
along the line of march the general had
been given a most f1attering greeting,

went by. A long line of carriages fol-
lowed the battle flags, each containing
ladies who are officials of the various
organizations which are affiliated with
the Grand Army. Among these We're
Mrs. Harriet J. Dodge, president of the
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Re-
public; Mrs. A. d. johnson, president of
the Army Nurses association. and Mrs.
Elizabeth Kimball president of the
Daughters of Veterans. Close behind the

THE LARGEST POST.
BidwelI Vilkeson post of Buffalo, which
had the largest number of men in ranks
of any organization that came from out
side Chicago and Cook county, made
fine appearance as they came marching
past the stand headed by the Buffalo
Military band of fifty pieces. The old
Continental Drum and Bugle corps of
New York City led Chaplin post, also
from New York. and both were heartily
cheered for their excellent appearance
and marching
Then came the Arion Military band of
Milwaukee, forming the vanguard of
the various departments which march
ed under the leadership of their de-
partment commanders.
Wisconsin was given the right of the
line and as her column turned around
the corner of Jackson boulevard into
the DrOaQ sweep OF MI e-n1BdT avenue
and with bands playing and colors fly
ing, the Army of the Republic came
marching down, the people seemed to
realize that here at last came the true
pageant of patriotism. The old worn
out futtering flags that had gone be-
fore were nothing in themselves but as
representatives of the power that gave
them the glory that they wore they
were everything. Marching behind
them under colors fresher and brighter
as their own fame must ever grow
with the advancing years came the
units of that power in the fighting men
of a mighty race unconquered yet by
land or sea.
In them lay. and through them came,
the force that has made the nation what
1t is and what it will be. No matter
what may come in the future the men
before them had made the past glory
that may mellow but never grow dim,
and the crowd seeming to catch these
things in a breath. as rank after rank of
the old soldiers wheeled into the avenue,
went wild with enthusiasm They cheer
ed, waved their hats and clleered again
until they could cheer no more Then
they stood as they had stood for the bat
tered flags. with barred heads, as the
veterans with steps more halting than of
old, but with hearts as high as ever
what they had made many another
march a credit to themselves and an
honor to their country

Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen in State Convention.

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. 4. 1000.
TO tho Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vention. and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are a por-
tion of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nomina-
tion by convention representing no less
a constituency than tho whole State.
Hence, all tho candidates of party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and | have there
fore included in the call six electors.
