The Hero Dead.

The Petersburg State Journal
touches the right chord when it
says:
"They have nearly all gone down
the valley, those who wore the
grey as we'll as those who wore the
blue. Only a few more funeral
marches will sound till all the
great generals who fought on both
sides in the civil war will sleep be-
meath the turf. Once we made a
difference as to whether man
battled with his face turned to the
South, or with it turned to the
North, but now our tears fall for
each alike, when he passes away.
For time we were not brothers,
but Toes, but the same starry BAN
ner has been ours for SO many
years, that we have forgotten that
time when cannon roared and blood
was spilled in streams and treasure
was spent to maintain a war. So
whether it be a Grant or Lee, a
Sheridan or q jackson, a Hancock,
or the last one gone, a Gordon, we
only remember as we name the
hero, that ours is now one common
country. with one flag. one people
united to stand. shedding our tears
in common as we journey to the
tomb. to lay away the dust of the
hero. dead

MeeRAw TOOK A LARGE PART
In Keeping the Democratic conven-

IL AeSpAn6 tne OemocraIlc ConVen-
ton From Chicago.
Washington. d. O.. Jan. 1911
is learned from an authoritative
source that William r Hearst, the
Congressman publisher, came
dangerously close to running the
national committee which was in
session last Tuesday. In fact if it
had not been for the united efforts
of Senator German. John t No
Graw, of West Virginia, Guffey of
Pennsylvania and Norman Mack
of New York. Hearst would have
been on top.
Hearst wanted the convention
held at Chicago aud the oommitte
was favorable to that proposition
until German, Guffey and McG raw
got busy. In expressive language
they pictured the danger of hold
ing the convention in a CITY where
Hearst had so strong a labor fol.
lowing, He would pack the con,
vention hall. it was argued, and
cause stampede in his favor. In
st. Louis this could not be done
they said, because Hearst had nc
paper there to boost his game.
Committeeman McGraw of West
Virginia is favorable to German
aud an effort will be made to throw
the votes of West Virginia to tn,
Marylander.
