OF the evening. Mr.. Bryan had for
his theme, "Steadfastness," talking on
that trait in ,lackson's character. The
celebration closed with banquet at
the American house and IA dance ut
the City armory.
Mr., Bryan said in part:
among the traits of character which
distinguished Andrew Jackson, no
trait was more prominent or more
helpful to his country than his stead
fnstness. When he believed n thing,
he believed il. Where duty led, he
followed without questioning. When
he decided that anything ought TO be
done, he did it, and no power could
overawe him lie did not have In his
veins single drop of anything TO win
blood. When Nicholas Biddle declared
that through the national bank he
could make and unmake Congresses,
Jackson replied that that was more
power than any one man ought TO
have In this country, ana he then
began his war against Biddle and his
bank, which resulted In the overthrow
OF the great linancier and the lnsttu-
tion which he so automatically con
trolled. Others were afraid that Bid
dies influence, il antagonized, would
defeat the Democratic party, but
Jackson 'saw In 1t a menace to his
country and he did not stop to consider
what effect an attack on the bank
would have on himself, or on his
party. He won, and we revere his name

HOME AGAIN
After a Trip In the East.
Hon. J. Park Alexander Found a
New Fact In History.

Hon. j. Park Alexander and wife
have returned from six weeks visit
Mt Stony Point, n. Y, and Middlebury,
Vt: They spent Thanksgiving at
Stony Point, and Mr.. Alexander Wis
tied many points of historical interest
In that vicinity. He secured COPY
of a book recently published which
relates a bit of history not ordinarily
known. 1t is that Mad Anthony"
Wayne, after having captured Stony
Point, with empty guns on Aug. Is,
1878, surrendered it to the British
again on Aug II. Why he did so Is
not apparent, and Mr.. Alexander, al
ways taking II lively interest in mat
ters historical, was unable to learn.
From Stony Point Mr.. and Mrs.
Alexander went to Middlebury, VT,
where they were guests of Prof. and
Mrs. Chas. Wright. The latter are
most pleasantly situated in Middle
bury.
There Is II fine chance for an cleo
trio railway from Rutland to Burlng-
ton, GO miles," said Mr.. Alexander.
"The road could touch Lake Cham-
plain at three or four points, and along
the whole course there are many live
towns which would patronlze the
road"
