BosTON'S FLORAL GREETING.
Magnificent Display for Visiting Old
Soldiers.

The district about the Washington
monument will be the center Of attrac-
ton for the strangers who visit the Pub
lie Garden during the encampment of
the Grand Army in Boston. Directly
in front Of the monument facing Com
monwealth avenue is a design Of the
badge Of the G. A. r. This Is by itself
and enclosed in heart-shaped border Of
variegated leaves and plants. The whole
design, even to the slightest detail, is
brought out in striking relief, and is per
haps the best of these special designs.
Grouped about the monument are pieces
representing the badges Of the Woman's
Relief Corps, the Sons of Veterans and
the Daughters Of Veterans and the de-
sign Of the engineer corps of the army
These are represented with great re-
gard to detail The inscription, "Filii
Veteranorum," on the badge Of the Sons
of Veterans is particularly plain, as are
the words, "Woman's Relief Corps,
1885," on the badge Of that organization
and the monogram, I'D. v" on the third
organization.
just beyond the badge Of the G. A.
R. at the Commonwealth avenue en-
trance the men are now at work on two
of the most striking pieces. Looking to-
ward the avenue on the left will be
representation of the American flag, and
on the other side will be the Union Jack.

REFUSES CLEMENCY TO NEGRO.
President in Denying Prayer Says
Crime Deserves Swift Punishment.


In declining to commute to life impris-
onment the death sentence imposed on
John w. Burley, colored, whose victim
was a 411ayear-old girl, President Roose-
Welt made the following comment on Bur-
ley's crime:
''The crime i'll question is one to the
existence of which we largely owe the
existence of that spirit of lawlessness
which takes form in lynching. 1t is es-
sential that the punishment for it should
be not only as certain but as swift as
possible 1t is to be regretted that we
do not have special provision for more
summary dealing with this type of cases.
The more we do what in us lies to Sc
cure certain and swift justice in dealing
with these cases the more effectively do
we work against the growth Of that lynch
ing spirit which is so full of evil omen
for this people, because it seeks to avenge
one Infamous crime by the commission
Of another Of equal infamy.'

hope that they will win in spite of the
odds against them and the Republican
leaders realize that they have on their
hands the hardest fight they have un-
dertaken since 1892 Millions of dal-
lars are to be spent; system of close
communication is to be established on
both sides throughout the country, I'M
der which the thousands Of workers
who will be engaged in carrying out
the plans of the political generals will
act in harmony; careful watch is to be
kept for danger spots and arrange
mentS are to be made by which sud
den emergencies may be met without
the delay of an hour; appeal is to be
made orally and by printed argument
as directly as possible to every voter
in the land; finally, the general plan
Of campaign must be so framed as to
meet the requirements of the fevered
climax that is to precede election day,
when the ambushes and surprises that
are relied upon to rout the enemy, per-
haps in quarters where he thought
himself most secure, are to be uncov-
cred.
There promises to be little appeal to
passion or prejudice in the contest. It
will be q business campaign through
out. The Republican managers will
endeavor to convince the commercial
interests Of the country that Senator
Hanna was right when he advised
them to stand pat" and to let we'll
enough alone, while the Democrats will
seek to create the belief that the Cor
tunes Of the nation are in peril and
that It's peace and prosperity can be
preserved only by placing Alton B.
Parker in the White House as the head
Of safe and sane" administration.
Among the men who are to assume the
responsibility of guiding the campaigns
for the great parties the chief candi-
dates themselves are the most conspic-
nous. 1t may be assumed that no i'm
portant move will be made by the Re
pubHcans without the sanction Of Pres
tdent Roosevelt, and that nothing of
vital moment will be decided upon on
The Democratic side without the assent
Of Judge Parker.
The Campaign Managers.
In the actual work Of the campaign
the Republicans have the start of their
opponents. George B. Cortelyou, the
chairman Of the National Committee,
located in New York, will devote his
time chiefly to the East, while in the
West Harry S. New, the indianapolis
editor, will doubtless have charge, with
headquarters at Chicago. In the East
Mr. CortelyOu will be assisted by L.
A. Coolidge, of Massachusetts. Thomas
Taggart will be the active head on the
Democratic side and his reputation as
reSouroeful leader insures the conf
dence Of his subordnates. Virtually
he will be the manager of the Parker
campaign. He has been Mayor of In
dianapolis several times He has lived
