In one respect Arlington is unlike any
other of our national cemeteries; at the
others few interments have been made
since the period Immediately following
the war, but beautiful Arlington every
year sees wearers of the blue brought
from all parts of the country to swell
the forces of the silent army. There
are now buried at this national resting
place for fallen warriors more than
10000. Of these 4,611 are nameless on
the human record.
Two hundred acres of the estate were
set aside for cemetery purposes. To
this several additions have been made
from time to time. This section is in
closed by a low wall and is entered
through four great memorial gates-the
Mcclellan, the Fort Nyer. the Ord and
Weitzel and the Sheridan. the last
named being the main entrance. Near
the mansion there has been erected an
open circular colonnade surmounted by
a DOME This is known as the Temple
of Fame. On the cornice are the names
of Washington, Lincoln. Grant and Far
ragut. At the rear of that is the large
amphitheater in which the Memorial
day services of the Grand Army of the
Republic are held. The Sheridan gate
is hanked on each side by marble col
umns taken from the old war depart
ment building. They bear the names Of
Lincoln, Scott, Grant and Stanton
There are many costly and stately
monuments at Arlington, some of them

doubtful, however. If there is to be
found in the whole impressive pano-
rama a more effective ensemble than

Half a mile south of the mansion are
buried the soldiers who fell in the
Spanish American war. A magnificent
memorial to their prowess has been
raised by the Colonial Danes of Amer
lea. Close by sleep the victims of the
i'll fated battleship Maine. On the BLUM
east of the house is the space set apart
for the graves of officers. In front Of
the building and near the great central
Flagstaff are the tombs of Philip H.
Sheridan and Admiral David D. Porter.
Almost adjoining are the graves Of
General J. II. Baxter, Colonel Hiram
Berdan. the noted sharpshooter, and
General George Crook Close at hand

But nature has done even more for
this lovely city of the heroic dead than
the willing and grateful hand of man
has been able to accomplish. All the
efforts of art that have been lavfshed

second ballot was over Samuel J. Til
den of New York was nominated. His
leading competitor, Thomas A. Hen
bricks of Indiana, was named for vice
president.
The Republican platform for 1880 was
put forth at Chicago, June 10. It was
well understood that an effort would be
made to give Grant a third term. In
fact, a plurality of the delegates came
pledged to support him. Blaine was a
strong favorite again, and John Sher-
man had many friends. on the thirty
fifth ballot Grant had 313 votes and
Blaine PSI. On the thirty-fourth James
A. Garfield of Ohio had the seventeen
votes of Wisconsin. On the thirty sixth
the anti Grant forces stampeded to the
Ohio statesman, and he was nominated

cratic convention at Louisville, Sept 3.
Both candidates declined to serve.
Grant and Wilson were elected.
The Republican national platform of
1875, announced at Cincinnati June II,
was a plea for civil service reform. 1t
recommended a steady progress toward
specie payments and denounced polyg-
amy and the solid south" 1t also adj
vocated the vigorous exercise of the
constitutional powers of the president
and congress. James G. Blaine was the
favorite at the start. On the seventh
ballot his vote was 351. Then the op-
position united and transferred it's vote
to Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio. That
nominated him. William Alnon Wheel
er of New York became his companion
on the ticket. The ticket won, but it

in instruction and the refusal to ex-
change prisoners. The most important
resolution read as follows:
This convention does explicitly declare
as the sense of the American people, that

humanity liberty and the public welfare

for a cessation of hOstihties. to the end

nominated.
May 81 of that year a convention of
radicals" met at Cleveland and nomi-
mated John c. Fremont and John Coch-
rane. The platform demanded a more
vigorous prosecution of the war, con-
fscation of southern property and its
distribution among soldiers and actual
settlers. The candidates accepted, but
withdrew later.
In 1865 a curious political situation
arose. The assassination of Lincoln
April IA brought the vice president
Andrew Johnson, into the political fore
front. His policy, which he lost no
time in announcing, was not the doc
trine of the party which had elected
him. Several state conventions de-
clared against his views of reconstruc-
ton and asserted that it must be eff
fected by the 1awmaking branch of the
government. The Democrats united

situation, expressed sorrow over the
lamentable fate of Lincoln and especial
ly criticised the Republican policy of
reconstruction. A tariff for revenue on
foreign imports was demanded. It also
declared against negro suffrage and ia
vored the payment of the national debt
in legal tender. Horatio Seymour of
New York and Frank P. Blair of Mis-
souri, were nominated.
The Chicago Republican platform of
1868 approved the reconstruction plan
of congress, declared for liquidation of
the public debt and denounced the acts
of President Johnson. The tariff was
not mentioned. Ulysses S. Grant was
nominated on the first ballot. Schuyler
Colfax of Indiana was made his run
ming mate. Under this administration
the fifteenth amendment was passed.
The next Republican national decIa-
ration of political faith made at Phila-
delphia, June 5, 1872, reviewed the past
achievements of the party, demanded

their suppression of disorder in the

was devoted TO a denunciation of the
electoral commissions decision. Win
field S. Hancock of Pennsylvania was
nominated for president. William H.
English of Indiana was named for Sec

In 1880 there were at least three other
platforms - the Greenback-Labor, the
Prohibition and the antf-AIason. The
first was represented by ]. B. Weaver
of Iowa and B. J. Chambers of Texas
Neal Dow of Maine and A. NJ. Thomp-
son of Ohio stood for the second. The
anti Aasons chose ]. W. Phelps of YER

spective platforms are plainly indicated
by their names.
Before another call for presidential
convention President Garfield met his

chosen for second place. During this
campaign the famous forgery known as
the Morey letter. which purported to be
written by Garfield in favor of Chinese
immigration, appeared The terms
.stalwart' and "antistalwart" came into
active use. The platform affirmed that
the boundary between powers delegated
and those reserved should be deter

tribunals; that duties levied for revenue
should favor American labor; that no
further grant of public land should be
made to railroads or other corpora

actively to the front. Silver had been
falling steadily. Gold was the only
specie of the country except for sub
sidiary coinage Finally the Bland bill
to make the silver dollar legal tender
for all debts was passed by both houses
and over the veto of President Hayes.
