1t was just when the spirit of peace,
uncertain as to whether it should
alight, was lowering over the land.
New York was afame with passionate

1T was my pleasure in conversation
recently with ex-GCy. Hugh S. Thomp-

him the most fattering accounts OF
President Roosevelt. These two men
were members Of the Civil service COM

President Cleveland. A strong intim-

Thompson's words will weigh we'll
with the people Of his native state,
by whom he is we'll beloved, and |
say without exaggeration that no man
stands higher in their estimation than
he. Gov. Thompson said that Presi-

to tho South. His mother was Geor-
gia woman, member Of the old Bul-
lock family of that State. His uncle
CAPTAIN Bullock, was commissioned
by the Confederate government to pur-
chase and fit out cruisers like the Ala
hama for service. So lofty was the
character of Captain Bullock that he
was invested with plenary power by
the Confederate government to dispose
of the immense SUMS o. money invol-
we'd in these transactions, his honor
being the only bond exacted. Truly
