that angelic perfection is rarely at

III its administration is, by the nature
of our system, imperfect and in many
instances is the result of comprOmis-
es and concessions upon the part Of
both or all contending forces. -
| contend that the golden CHORD of
"civic righteousness" which is but
another name for justice and equali-
ty of rights, runs all the way through
the purposes and policies Of the Re-
publican party, which in all its his
tory has contended for those meas
ures and results that were and are
best for our country and its loyal
citizens. AS political party it stood
for the abolition of slavery, the sup
preston of rebellion, the maintenance
Of the public credit, the restoration
of sound currency, the liberation of
Cuba, the keeping of our flag floating
in Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. 1t stands today for these re-
suits, and more. 1t insists on the
correction of abuses by great corpora
tons, for the enactment of measures
promotive Of our whole country s
development and the material welfore
of all our people. 1t stands for the
building of the Isthmian canal, for
the improvement of our rivers and
waterways; for the lawful restraint
of railroad corporations, for the alb
rogation of trusts in restraint of
trade and detrimental to the public =
just rights; for the redemption of
our arid lands and desert wastes; for
the enlargement of our foreign trade
and the interests of commerce and
civilization in our Island possessions
and the far East. These great inter-
ests of the American people appeal to
the best purpose Of our citizenship
and the loyalty of our party-the
greatest that has ever wrought for
the welfare of mankind in this and
all countries.
The question that comes to us to-
day is, shall we as members of this
great party join in the effort to disin-
tegrate it as a political party and
take from it the power to administer
the government? Shall the sly old
Fox of the Democratic party ride in
to power on the waves of popular ha-
tired for corruption, graft and boss
ism? [ trust not. Let the Re.
publican party shake off everything
in the nature Of bossism and faction.

the welfare of the whole people, move
toward victory in the contests of 1906
and 1908. Faltering or mistaken
webbing in this campaign may agar
plunge our country into the VORTEX
of financial distress and industrial
paralysis. Remember that party or
ganization and contention is essentia
to Republican form of government
and that in the party of Lincoln
Morton and Mckinley, there is wis
dom and security for the people o
the whole country, in the future a
in the past.

This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent

Schley's Loop.

Editor National Tribune: In reply to
Joseph A. Stewart, in issue dated Aug.
16, 1906, want to ask Mr.. Stuart what
he would think of the commander Of
a regiment who under orders of his
General to charge the enemy should
make a right wheel, as soon as he got
within the danger line, and make a
complete circle, and then move in a
parallel line with the enemy. who was
trying to escape to the left2 In that
great sea fight at Santiago the Brooklyn
had the advantage. Any other vessel
in the fleet would have improved such
fine opportunity. 1t was reported
publicly. and not denied, that the fol-
lowing conversation occurred on the
bridge of the Brooklyn:
Schley-Put your helm hard aport.
Hodgson-You mean starboard?
Schley-No, I don't; we are near
enough to them Uhe Spaniards) al
ready.
Hodgson-But we will cut down the
Texas.
Schley-Let the Texas look out for
herself.
The following extract from Senator
Lodges 1.-The War With Spain" shows
conclusively the loop was made on ac-
count of Schley's indecision, a charac-
teristic Of the man, shown on more than
one occasion in this same campaign:
AQm1rai ScnleyS nfSt explanation O1
his movement was that he was afraid
of being rammed, II being understood
that the Spaniards were especially anx-
ious to destroy the Brooklyn because
she was so fast. His second eXplana-
ton of his turning away from the enc
my in direction contrary to that TAX
en- by the other ships was that he wish
ed to avoid blanketing their fire. For
the ship in the lead and with the high
est speed to blanket ships in the rear
seems difficult on its face but for the
leading ship to blanket the fire of four
battleships strung out over n mile, that
fire being directed against four ships
distance, appears practically impossi-
| ple.'
Under the standing orders of Admiral
Sampson, eff the enemy tries to escape
the ships must close and engage as soon
as possible. and endeavor to sink his
vessels or force them to run ashore"
Every other officer In command Of n
vessel, except the Brooklyn, literally
obeyed this order. The loop was the
| only weak movement in the fight, and
the only move that gave the Spanish
| ships any chance of escape.
The cost Of repairing the damage to
| the ships engaged was: Oregon, none;
Texas, s752.32; Brooklyn, $1,303.15; In
| diana $4,078.58; Iowa, S4,993.65. AT
| the start the Brooklyn had the post of
honor, nearest the enemy, and the di-
| rection taken by the Spanish ships. and
| had she been handled with courage
would have deserved the highest praise
| in the greatest sea fight in our history

to take my family sightseeing 1 would
rather go to see Kentucky and it's caves
than almost any other natural curiosity
But l should want to get my drinking
water out of the beautiful springs. and
not out of the stagnant pools filed with
dead animals, as We did on that march,
owing to the love and respect of John
H. Morgan and his coterie.
After Morgan.
On this trip we were armed with all
kinds of arms. Only a part of each COM
pany was armed with carbines, and
most of them We're Galligers. They
shot rubber cartridge. and at a good
guess / shenld say they would throw a
ball, well. 20 feet. anyhow especially if
you would give your gun a good chuck
forward when you fired it, Some were
armed with English navy revolvers, of
little account. We had heavy brass
hilted sabers. Some We're armed with
Savage revolvers. which were true to
their name 50 far as the shoot" was
concerned, as one man in Co. f learned
while in camp about 10 miles north of
Nashville. We lay over there one or two
days. Word came into camp that Nor
gan was going to attack our camp sure
We were ordered to clean up our arms
and get ready t. go with Morgan. This
poor fellow was cleaning his Savage
revolver; 1t went off, shot through his
tent, his big horse through the heart,
and about six inches into a big oak
tree that stood about 20 feet from his
tent. We didn't have the kind of arms
Morgan wanted, So he didn't come after
us. He wanted to capture men where
at least each company was armed with
uniform arms, which we were not. This
was on. one of several scares we had
while marching through Kentucky and
Tennessee. We marched on to Nash
vile, and camped on the hill east of
the city, between the Cumberland River
and the Lebanon pike.
Now, comrades, we are at Nashville,
many Of us for the first time in our
lives. We will camp here for few
days for a little rest and some more
camp experiences. and to behold large
army camped on the hills and in the
valleys around the city, and it was A
grand sight to see. Now, comrades,
while resting here get out your writing
material, not to write home as you did
then, but to write to your comrades
and friends who take The National
Tribune. We want to hear from you.
Many of you kept diaries, and you
probably have your old letters to re-
ing of the kind, Sd 1 hope if I make
some mistakes you won't Jump on me-"

Fuller's Brigade.

Editor National Tribune: In The Ma

a few lines headed "Fuller's Brigade"
by James NJ. Rogers. of Esbon, Kan,
in which he says it was the First Bri-
gade, First Division, Seventeenth

say: "In the Vicksburg campaign Full

it seemed. to certain death. Few of
those who We're there have forgotten
the wild excitement or the honor of
that hour. Now / feel sure I am right
in this. In the first battle Of Bull Run
the regiment was all cut to pieces. Col.
Donnelly and six other officers We're
killed. 1t was our first military funeral
and the saddest. Most of the men were
in very moderate circumstances and
left young families. But what a burst
of patriotism followed. Mothers sent
younger sens, declaring that they would
keep nothing back. Fathers who had
not felt that they could go dropped
their work and volunteered: girls sent
their lovers. There was no thought of
self, only of the country's danger. III

commended and the President approved
the present steps for setting up a new
Government. But the President is evil
IDENTIFY determined to make the most of
the last opportunity to help the Cubans
govern themselves. Anti-annexationist
that the President is. he will not coun-
tenance n condition where there arc
revolutions every few months and the
consequent necessity for American in
tervention. One of the strongest fac
tors in shaping his attitude is 4 desire
to prove to the Governments Of Europe
and South America that we are abso-
lutely sincere in our professions for n
free and independent Government by
the Cubans. Ever since he entered the
White House the President has made ii
point that his representations to for
eign nations should be absolutely truth
full He has said that he will tolerate
a lie In our diplomacy no more than
he would tolerate a lie in his personal
relations with men. That is the new
diplomacy that few years ago caused
the ambassadors of the world to run
their eyes and wonder.
Notwithstanding the Presidents at
titude, the forces for and against Gu
ban annexation will be here in great
strength this Winter with Congress. The
question will certainly be agitated in
Senate and House. Perhaps some Amer
lean business interests in Cuba will want
a hearing before Congressional Com
mittees. The beet-sugar growers. who
keep representatives here during ses-
sions of Congress. and the tobacco
growers will make a formidable aggre-
cation against taking Cuba over. I'm

The new Cuban elections will prob

and everything will depend upon how
smoothly the new Government gets on.
A fresh revolution, which 1t may be all
too easy to start would give annexa-
ton great impetus. For. with all the
disastrous experiences the United States
has had with insular possessions, there
is much sentiment in Congress, which
means there is likewise much sentiment
among the constituents of Senator's and
members, for making Cuba our own.
The land hunger has not been appeased.
Within few months there are to be
at least two new members of the Presi-
dents Cabinet of nine, and some of the
old members will be moved to new port
folios. AttorneyGeneral Moody, OF
Massachusetts, who was first in the
Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy, will
retire about Jan. 1. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, President Roosevelt's
first selection of a Cabinet officer who
had not come to him from the McKin-
ley Administration. will retire n month
later. Both men want to take up their
private business affairs, each having
had approximately five years service
as a Cabinet member.
The President has not yet determin ed
how he will place his advisers. He has
decided to bring ambassador Won l.
Meyer, at st. Petersburg, to Washing
ton They were chums at Harvard Col
lege. The President intends t. make
Mr.. Meyer Secretary of the Treasury
or Secretary of the Navy, as Secretary
Bonaparte is going to the Departmen,
of Justice to take up the prosecution OF
trusts. There is great mass of work
to be done in that direction, especially
in the prosecution of the Standard Oil
Company for rebates under the Elkins
law and for unlawful combinations in
restraint of trade under the Sherman
antitrust law. The latter suits are all
prepared, but the President will not d.
rect that these suits be entered till after
the November election.

Editor National Tribune: In your
short history of the 51st Ohio, at re-
quest of N. G. Guthrie. you say the 10th,
45th, 90th and 101st were consolidated
with the 51st in the latter part Of its
service. This is correct only in part.
Speaking for the 101st, 1 will say that
our recruits whose terms of enlistment
had not expired in June, 1865, were put
into the list and sent to Texas, but our
regiment was mustered out at close Of
service without having been CONSOLE
dated with any other command or with
