DEFEAT OF MAI. LACEY.
A Veteran Who Thinks There Were
Plenty of Reasons for Ii.

Editor National Tribune: A para
graph in the last issue pertaining to
Maj. John F. Lacey, in which you say,
He served many years in the House,
and was defeated in the last election by
series of accidents which nobody ap-
pretended" needs explanation. The de-
feat of Maj. Lacey was not .'by series
Of accidents" and the old soldiers who
read The National Tribune should be
advised as to the true causes of his de-
feat. He was subservient to a corporate
influence that has welded a vast inf1u-
ence, by fair means or foul, in the
Sixth District; he proclaimed himself
opposed to n revision of the tariff,
which position runs counter to a very
large sentiment of his Republican sup
porters, and he ignored the claims of
old soldiers who have been his stanch-
est supporters and recommended to
Postmastership in many offices men
who stood in with the saloon and bum
element. He had a plurality of 1913
in 1904, and his opponent at the last
election had e plurality of 2,274.
1t is reported and generally believed
by those in position to know that Maj.
Lacey is in the millionaire class, and
he is thus neither a financial nor 4
political beggar. R. Barnes Abba,

Medical Director of the Department OF
New York and is well known throughout
the State. Speaking of his candidacy
the Saratoga Sun says:
DR. Hall is a veteran of the civil
war and served as surgeon in the Thirty
sixth regiment of New York Volunteers.
He has been a resident of this city for
many years and stands high in the ranks
of the medical profession. He is a
dean of his calling in Saratoga. Not
only are his friends legion in this city,
but throughout the State he has admir-
ers who will push his candidacy. DR..
Halls long experience and enviable rep
utation make him 1, desirable man for
the position and the delegates TO the
Forty-frst Encampment will show ex-
ceilent judgment in selecting him for
the office"

RATES TO SARATOGA.
The Veterans Hcyond the Mississippi
Have Been Unable to Get Any Con-


| Editor National Tribune: I see by
The National Tribune you indicate that
rates have been granted to all the De-
partments of the National G.. a. r. En-
campment. This is not correct. There
| has been no special rates or privileges
granted to ay of the comrades or De-
partments west of the gateways of Chi
cago and st. Louis. Nothing different
than the standard rates has yet been
granted 10 us, altho extraordinary ef-
| forts have been made to have them
grant rates in accordance with special
rates and privileges granted us in the
past, but with all our efforts nothing
has been accomplished thus far.
/ personally went to Chicago and
joined with Chief of staff, Col. j. Cory
| Winans, and returned home from
there with the understanding that we
would be granted the same rates that
the Eastern and Central Passenger As
sociations have granted but subse-
quently they did not carry out their
understanding. but acted TO the con-
trary, and up to date no concessions
! whatever have been made TO us. This
practically bars the attendance from
the Departments west of st. Louis and
Chicago. and it will be all that we can
do with the most strenuous efforts to
get the actual delegates and represen-
tatives 10 the National Encampment to
attend. We are now striving with all
our might and main to get special rates
and privileges granted to us, even at
this late date. but it is almost a hope
| less task.
| 1t is an outrage without reason or
rhyme and wholly unaccountable They
gave special rates and privileges to the
exConfederates to all their Reunions,
and to the unvailing of the jeff Davis
Monument yet they deny to us, the
saviors, defenders and builders of our
| Nation, the concessions formerly grant
ed us, without contention This is very
deplorable and discouraging, and looks
as tho II was concurring scheme to
destroy the success of our National G.
A. Il. Encampments, which it will ac-
complish in Il large degree unless some
thing is done 10 avert 1t and change
the denials that are being exercised
against us.
Again, the rates at Saratoga are not
satisfactory; they compel US to take
suites of rooms OF three or four. at $40
a day. with the privilege of two per-
sons in the room, but if we want to put
in any additional persons we must pay
from 81 to IS a day for any additional
This is different from what we had at
any previous Encampments, where we
paid so much day for the room and
was allowed to put in as many cots as
we desired to accommodate others-P.

EXECUTION Of Il Guerrilla.

John L. Owen, 10th Tenn. Cav,
Iuka, Ark, says that he was an eye
witness of the capture and execution of
the guerrilla and robber spoken of by
Comrade p. Lewellyn. The mans name
was John a. Blackanar, and there were
others captured with him, among them
an old man and his son, who were sent
to the penitentiary at Nashville. The
comrade claims that the 18th Tenn.
Cav. did the job, but the 10th Tenn.
Cav. was there, and were always ready
for anything, from killing hogs to kill
ing man.

John c. Allen, Huntsville. Ark, gets

roe He knows better, for he was a
soldier in the 29th U. S. at that place
and helped guard Davis, who received
much better rations and treatment than
the soldiers did. He frequently walked
all over the grounds with Davis, who
was sometimes accompanied by his wife
and daughter. He knows Davis got all
he wanted to eat and drink, because
Mrs. Davis and her daughter at differ
ent times gave him several pieces of
fine cake and other delicacies of which
Davis had no need.

ar,neraI wealth of the south.

About one-seventh OF the mineral
production os the entire country comes
from the Southern States. OF btu
minous coal, the most valuable mineral,
the South produces one-fourth,. and OF
iron about one-nlnth. It's total coal
resources amount to nearly 60O,0OO,-
100000 tons, or more than one-fourth
Of our estimated coal reserve.
or mineral chemical materials the
South supplies more than one-half,
chiefly phosphate rock, ak of which Is
produced in Florida, Tennessee and
South Carolina, and nearly one-third
OF the mineral pigments. OF precious
stones the whole country produces only
$325, 900 worth, with the South fur
nishing It's fair share.
The showing In iron ore reserves Is
quite as good; a safe minimum is
3 900 100000 tons, or nearly one-third
OF the nations total. OF workable iron
ore the South contains one and one
half times as much as the famous
Lake Superior district, and this does
not include the deep lying southern
