an authority as !" Uncle Dick"
Petherick is indeed very inter
esting to those who have to de-
pend largely on the newspapers
for accounts of the contest, the
venera BILE correspondent writing
for the Milwaukee Journal, under
the heading, "What the Caucus
Vote Means, says:
"The result of the Republican
caucuses yesterday was not SO
much victory for Charles IL.
Arson over Thomas Fl. Brown as
it was q demonstration that ex-
cept in isolated localities in the
city the LaF'ollette faction con-
sists merely Of 'sleaderso with
out any following. Brown has
al ways been looked on as one of
the strongest Republican candi-
dates in the city, and at this time
it was freely admitted that he
was four times stronger than the
faction which ran him.
"But the people have evidently
grown tired of the LaFollette fac
ton and its ways of doing bust
ness, and have resolved that if
there is any "ostracising' to be
done they will do it themselves
for the benefit of the malcon-
tents.
"For this reason they turned
down a strong man and will
nominate one comparatively weak
in his place. Without wishing to
say anything personal against
Maj. Arson, no one with practi-
cal knowledge of city politics be-
lieves for moment that he could
have showed under Thomas Ell.
Brown if the latter had not been
handicapped by the friendship of
the LaFollette faction and the
sulphurous oratory of men like
Cochems and Hannah, as dis
played at the mass meeting at
West Side Turn hall. "
WHO would have supposed
that the newspapers would still
be talking about that serious"
charge made by the Milwaukee
Journal against Senator White
head, who is candidate for gov
ernor? The Journal discovered
that the GAINESVILLE man signed a
petition to the city council asking
for the enactment of a curfew
ordinance. The charge is GER
tainly a ':staggerer." Oh, how
awful it is. Washburn and
several hundred other Wiscon-
sin towns have the curfew ordin-
ance, and find it to be most ex-
cellent thing. The Journal has
simply demonstrated that Mr..
Whitehead is a little more pro-
gressive than the Journal when
it comes to matters beneficial to
the communicated is all the
discussion amounts to.
Buy home in northern Wis

about farming in five years you
will be independent of everybody.
There are thousands of acres of
available land that is easily
adaptable to agricultural pur-
poses, and this land can be pur-
chased almost on your own
terms. The land of Bayfield,

quality, and there are land men

weil-brushed coat showed that it was
freshly donned that day. His horse had
been vigorously groomed, and the fresh

man, went out in the 1st Conn. Cav, and
became Chief of Staff to Gen. Custer.
He was a superb, dashing, enterprising
soldier, quick to see an opportunity, and
nervous whirldwind on the charge. The
dream of his life was a dash into Rich
mond to bring jeff Davis out. On one
or two occasions he seemed likely to real
ize this hope. The Vice-Chairman is
Col S. f. Chamberlin, who was a Captain
in the 25th n. Y. Cav, and one of that
little band of dismounted cavalrymen
who so calamity breasted Jubal Early's
army on the 18th of July, 1854, and helped
to hold him back until the Sixth Corps
should arrive. Every man who served in
the mounted troops of the Army of the
Potomac should be immensely proud of
his connection with them, and rally on
the old guidons on Camp Roosevelt.

MAIL FOR THE EscAMpMENr.

Everybody who intends visiting the
National Encempment should think care
fully before starting as to how he wishes
his mail addressed while in Washing Zeon.
They all want to hear from home while
they are gone, and the Postmaster here
is making every effort to secure the GER
tain and prompt delivery of their letters.
In so great a throng of strangers as will
be present there is going to be great diff
culties. These will be much lessened if
the veterans themselves will help.
OF course, all those who have secured
quarters will have their mail addressed
to the hotels, boarding houses or private
residences where they will stay. Those
who have no places engaged can and
should do one of three things:
1. They can have their mail addressed
to the care of The National Tribune, and
call at the Office, 339 Pennsylvania Avenue,
for it.
2. If they are going to occupy free quar-
ters in the Government Printing Office,
they can have their mail addressed there,
They should be careful to have the names
Of their Posts and Departments put on
their mail to facilitate handling and de-
livery. and return if not called for.
3. They car have their mail addressed
to Camp Roosevelt, Washington, d. G.
This will be the best way for those who
expect to spend much of their time with
their old-time comrades. There will be a
branch postoffice established in tent at
Camp Roosevelt, at which mail will be re-
ceived and delivered, stamps, envelopes,
postal cards and wrappers be sold, etc,
etc. Carriers will deliver the mail to
Corps Headquarters, so that the mail will
be distributed very soon after it arrives
in the city, and comrades can hear from
home in the shortest possible time. To Sc
cure the prompt and certain delivery of
their letters, cards. or papers, veterans
should have it directed to their Corps. 1t
will then be handed to them without the
least delay, whether they are in Corps
Headquarters or in the Reunion meetings.
This will be the simplest, easiest, surest
way of all. Let each veteran have his
mail addressed to Camp Roosevelt, in care
of the Corps in which he served during
the war. and his Corps Chairman and
comrades will be on the alert to see that
he gets it.
Let everybody remember that there will
be an immense throng in Washington, and
that the City PostofTice will be overwork-
ed. 1t will require trouble. and long, te-
diOus waiting in line to get chance at
the delivery window.
All this can be Obviated by having the
mail directed to Camp Roosevelt, in care
of your Corps.

to outranking everybody else, because it
will be able to fash up not only Corps
Commander, but a Lieutenant General,

whom they followed, always to success, in
the great ianking movements on the At

their great victory at Franklin, where they
took the sting out of Hoods army-more

crowned their service by the capture of

sioner of Washington County, Ohio.
Col. Burbank was for some years sta

was detailed as professor Of military
science and tactics. He raised the stand

porter of the students athletic ventures
and gave freely his valuable aid. 1t was

civil war DR.. Guerrant was Captain in
Morgan's cavalry. He was the Adjutant-
General of Giltner's Brigade, this being
one of the brigades which called on the
7th Ohio Cav. before breakfast on the
morning of Nov. 6, 1868, at Rogersyille,
Tenn. This call was entirely unlimited,
but the Confederates insisted upon calling
at that unreasonable hour. Capt. Guer-

gan's command at Cynthiana, KY, when
the 7th Ohio Cav. returned this call at the
same unreasonable hour, about daylight,
of June II, 1864. Capt. Guerrant was
with the Confederate army in front of the
Ohio boys almost the entire Winter CAM
paign of 1S63-1S64 in East Tennessee.
From the foregoing it will be understood
that Capt. Guerrant has met the Ith Ohio
Cav. on many occasions. Since the war
Capt. Guerrant has devoted his time large

of their space in discussion of The Mon

recognize that it has come to stay, and

The German papers are rather angry and
resentful, but the English and French pa
pers incline to the belief that the doc
trine imposes responsibilities and duties
upon us. We must make the fake Gov
ernments to the south Of us behave to-
ward the rest of the world. There is no
doubt we have such duty. We have al
ways recognized it with regard to the
1sthmus of Panama, which is one of the
highways Of the world. We are even now
preparing to vigorously execute this duty,
and see that transit is not interfered with
in the riot between Colombian politicians
for the spoils. The question is now press
ing as to what extent a mob Of dissolute
and unprincipled negroes in Haiti shall
be allowed to interfere with the worlds

credit the capture Of Fort Pulaski, the
long siege Of Charleston, with the bloody
battles Of Wagner and Secessionville, the
invasion Of Florida, and the severe fight
ing around Petersburg. All this makes up
q glorious history. The men who swell
