FAIRBANKS TALKS PROSPERITY
Credits Republican Policies in Speech
at Hartford, Conn.

A dispatch from Hartford. Conn, last
night says: The campaign In Connecticut
on the part of the republicans was opened
at the Auditorium tonight by rally at
which Charles w. Fairbanks. the repub-
hcan vice presidential nominee, was the
chief speaker. He was enthusiastically re-
ceiyed by an audience that exceeded the
seating capacity of the hall and through
out was given close attention. Former
Governor Morgan G. bulkeley presided and
made short welcoming speech. Senator
Fairbanks spoke in part as follows:
Republican policies have never been a
menace to the business interests of the
country Their triumph has never been
awaited with serious apprehension. II re-
publican policies are approved at the ballot
box at the coming election commerce will
not need to fIrl her sails and industry will
not need to prepare to meet surprises which
change of administration sometimes brings.
What the country needs is not only sound
policies. but 1T requires that they should not
be frequently changed
I'VE have met ami solved many great
questions in the last seven years. Some of
them were little dreamed of in the great
campalngs OF eight years ago. The admin
istration of our new possessions has been
consistent with the spirit of our institutions
and according to the best traditions of the
republic. The republican party has kept
faith with the country. 1t has made the
pledge of eight years ago the written law.
1t has established the gold standard and 1t
is proud of 1t. 1t will stand for its main
tenance against all corners. We viii not
intrust the mighty business affairs of the
republic to the control Of party which
lacks the moral courage to avow it's conf
dence in the virtue Of the gold standard
We will intrust that power to- no party
which is seriously divided upon this great
and vital question"

on the spots selected for the encampments
before the troops had their tents pegged
down. In some instances in addition to
the food supply the bl Inkets for the men
were transported in the wagons. Last night
General Bell directed his quartermaSter to
supply all the troops with water from
Thoroughfare. and the water was brought
up tC Gainesville in huge railroad tenders
and was pumped into wagons fitted with
tanks by means of which it was transported
and distributed to the troops.
Many Picturesque Scenes.
Last night the sky was Illuminated at
points on the horizon by the camp fires of
the brown brigades and presented most
brilliant sight. The whole day yesterday
was full of picturesque scenes and Incl
dents. When the troops returned from the
field to take their position for the night
near Gainesville they presented most
formidable appearance. Long lines Of the
brown men wound slowly along the roads
leading west of Gainesville and to Cathar-
pin Springs. Here and there, as the brown
line marched over the hills break would
be seen and the color changed to blue,

in the afternoon, at least the men seemed
to be walking rapidly individually, but
when viewed from a distance the line SEEM
ed to crawl over the roads, winding In and
out of the depressions, now broken where
a hill took the soldiers from view and now
coming into the field of vision, like huge
rope trailing, along the highway. The men

TO have Bliss fall on the left flank of the
enemy and crush him. The intrenched po-
sition of Bliss brigade was from the Suuley
mansion toward the Kendall house. where
he covered the movements of the right flank
of the rear guard. Plans were carefully
laid to cover every ford of the run with
strong forces, and the position of Prices

cupied was part of the famous ground over

On the part of the browns Gen. Lee was

Barrys brigade, and the latter's right
was the Sd Brigade, under Regain, while the
4th Brigade. commanded by Col. Smith, oc-
curied the right flank of the position. The

two batteries of artillery were ordered to
occupy Gainesville.

Lees brigade left It's camp at 9:15 o'clock

ed for 1t. His directions were explicit as to
the sort of engagement he was to fight and
he moved back slowly. The result was that

when the recall was sounded at 3 O'Clock
the movement had been so successful that
Gen. Bell was unaware of the exact loca-
ton of the main blue line and remained in
ignorance throughout the night. At 3
O'Clock, when the maneuver terminated for
the day. the movement was stopped and
General Bells force. which had advanced
beyond Wellington, was forced to return In
the vicinity of Gainesville and bivouac
along the oughfare-Gainesvile road

that this was made necessary by the lack
of water the field where the troops
were stationed at the end of the days en-
gagement.
Grants Plan Successful.
There was no question of who obtained
the advantage in the days work, because
General Bell did not obtain information of
any kind that would show him the blues
position, while, on the other hand the plan
that had been formed by General Grant,
and so ably executed by General Whit, had
held the enemy back until the intrenched

noon with the brown army. by means of
which he held Gen. Bells forces back for

Mississippi Faces a Crisis.

A dispatch from Jackson, Miss, last
night says: The state of Mississippi has in
it's treasury s156 and there is no relief in
sight. Much doubt is expressed in financial
circles whether a firm of New York and
Chicago brokers, who recently purchased
state bond issue of half million dollars
will pay for them, and the banks of the
state seemingly are unwillingly to advance
money for immediate use. No payments or
taxes are due for thirty days, and a pro-
posed special session of the legislature
could not bring relief within that period.

Frost was held In reserve with his brigade,
battalion of engineers and the Virginia
field battery. less one platoon. The fourth
column was formed a rear guard under
Gen Whit. whose force consisted of the
lst Brigade. the divisional cavalry and a
detachment of engineers. The plan was for
W INT to form his rear guard across the
country over which the brown advance was
being made and to fall back slowly, giving
the other brigades time to form in en-
trenched positions east of Bull Run
This program was carried out almost to
the letter, except that a part of Prices
brigade had failed to get across the run ,rp
to the time of the close of the days move
ments. which did not affect the success of
the maneuver. because Gen. Bells forces
never at any time came within striking dis
tance of any part of the blue force exceut

continuance of the battle after the rear
guard had retired to the main position was

Better Supplied With Food.

Another Improvement that noticed
yesterday and today. and this was especial
ly true in respect to the brown forces, was
the excellent work of the quartermasters
and commissary departments. In the first
two days in the field the troops had con-
siderable difficulty in getting their supplies
of food and forage and in some instances
the escort wagons containing the supplies
could not find the regiments to which they
belonged. In General Bells army each
regiment was supplied with sufficient wag-
ons to transport all the necessaries for the
work of the two days and the wagons were
kept up with the regiments and brigadeT
except during that time they were actually
deployed on the firing line.
At that time the wagons of the division
were almost all parked at point just west
of Gainesville and north of the press camp.

dead with the past and the future is
not to be affected by the question as to
whether there have been deaths or NOT

those who are differing so widely on the
question as to whether there have been
deaths or not from the disease. need not
give themselves so much concern on that
score. 1t would be better for them all

States which allow no others to be kept
in their borders and the contrast is one
that pleases. From the standpoint Of
taxation, much might be derived from
the great list OF CANNES in clariSsburg,
but at the time of assessing property
dog owners are great deal scarcer than
at other times in the year and many
can not be found. As the result the dog
tax system is failure. just what to
do in the matter is the question. One
remedy would be for owners to have
more pride in the matter of dogs. An
other would be to require all dogs to
be properly tagged and still another is
that all dogs found without tags be dis
posed of after due notice has been given
of their being taken into possession by
the city authorities.
