BLUE AND GRAY.

Where the cedals lanled the village church
Like sentries dark and tall,
Two soldiers slumbered side by side,
Beneath grassy pail.
One from his messy stone proclaimed
That he had fought with Lee
And one had marched the weary road
With Sherman to the
There Il band of veterans
Upon Memorial Day,
And planted on the blue,
But left unmarked the gray.
But when returning to the spot
Another year behold
Their comrade of the battlefield
Rebuked them from the mold.
The roses rooted in his dust
Reached out their tender sprays
Through starry night and dewy dawns,
And sunny golden days
They showered with petals and perfume
That green and silent place
|. And folded both the seepels there
Within there sweet embrace
Each grzzled hero barred his head,
And every furrowed cheek
Was frightened by tear that told
The thoughts that could speak.
And so upon Memorial Day,
In sunshine in showers,
Since then they deck alike the graves
OF blue and gray with flowers

 Speaking of Bryan he said
 Tt is pleasing to me to be asso- clated in this campaign with the dis tlnguished gentleman to whom the
 standard of the party has been con-
 mitted. For years we have been friends. I recognize in him a man of
 spotless character and high ideals, always actuated by patriotic motives
 and an earnest desire to promote the welfare, the honor and glory of his country. He became your candidate
 because his nomination was de-
 handed by the rank and file of the party, which demand was emphasized
 by popular movement in his favor.

 He entered upon this campaign Gnpledged to any special interests, un- der no obligations to any unlawful Or other combination of capital, look ing to no corporation for campaign contributions, absolutely free to serve the people by carrying out the pledges of his party's platform. While he is the foe to unlawful monopoly and is prepared to lay heavy hand
 upon the lawless, whether rich or
 poor, without fear or favor. aud to combat the encroachments of greed upon honest endeavor, he is the friend of every legitimate business enter prise, whether conducted by individ-
 ual Or corporation, and will sympa- thize with the promotion Of every
 movement which makes for the well fale end prosperity of the country"
