sert that Bragg's failure, after the battle
of Chickamauga, to thrust Rosecrans
into the Tennessee river, as Forest Offer
ed to do, with his cavalry force and one
brigade of infantry, struck the mortal
blow, especially when it was followed by
the llI-starred expedition of General Hood.
Others again insist that Earley's failure

burg sealed our fate. So, you observe,
Mr.. Editor that the solar-plexus bust

ruined by bad interior management than
by outside interference:

No more through rolling clouds to soar

And winged the shaft that quivered in

And the same plumage that had warmed

In another article you say:
Russia and the winter climate stopped
Napoleons advance at Moscow, but since
that time. nearly one hundred years ago,
Russia has not fought successful wars.

1t is true that Russia was defeated in
the Crimean war but 1t required the
combined land and naval forces of Eng
land, France, Italy and turkey to ac-
complish 1t. But Russia has pushed her
arms successfully far into the east since
then, and you probably forgot that she
overthrow the Turks, and would have

grudging support The Presidents generous
impulse when he pledged himself to carry
out the policies of William Mckinley won
his heart, and he proclaimed his staunch
adherence to Mr.. Roosevelt's fortunes so
long as he should adhere to that course.
He kept his word.
But when he found that Mr.. Roose-
welt had forgotten all about the promise
so dramatically and so effectively uttered
at Buffalo, and had no other thought but
to convert the whole power of his great
office to securing his own nomination.,
then Mark Hanna halted He saw the

'These and many other things he saw,
and in common with all patriotic repub-
leans and all men of sound principles and
good sense, he deeply deplored them. And
Mark Hanna no longer adhered to Mr.
Roosevelt. He thought he was not safe

the President of the United States.
'He did not know what he might not do
when he entered upon the presidency for
another four years with none of the re-
straints upon him that the necessity of
being elected might impose or his con-
sciousness of inherited obligations entail.
He thought Mr.. Roosevet's candidacy i'm

actual peril to which the country ought
not to be exposed. And Mark Hanna held
