Fairview, Lincoln. Neb., July IL
The following statement was made by
William j. Bryan when he received
announcement of his nomination as
the candidate OF the Democratic par
ty for President.
The Presidency is the highest Of
flcial position in the world. and no
man occupying 1t can afford to nave
MS views upon public questions
biased by personal ambitions. Recog-

his obligation to hi countryEen, he
should enter upon the discharge of
his duties with singleness of purpose
Believing that one can best do this
when he Is not planning for a second
term, | announce now, as have on
former occasions, that. if elected,
snail not be a candidate for -re-elec-

This Is the nomination as purely
from the people as can be. and IL
elected my Obligation will be Gspurely
TO the people. | appreciate the homo.
The more because 1t came not from
one person or few persons, but
from the rank and file, acting freely
and without compulsion."

dent. The Quartermaster Volunteers
were men who were in the service of
the Quartermaster's Department, main
ly In the Twenty-second and Twenty
third Corps. They were enrolled and
organized into companies, troops and
regiments, uniformed, armed and
equipped, furnished with horses and
drilled, and frequently employed in
scouting and other duty. The officers
were duly commissioned. They were
ordered into the army by President
Lincoln Sept. Q, 1862, and ordered out
at the close of the war. They have now
bill before Congress to grant honor
able discharges and include their names
in the roster Of the Union and Confed-
crate armies. They cite that there were
two brigades of theta, employees in the
battle of Nashville on the 18th and 18th
of December, 1864, and of the 1886
troops which were on the lines at the
time of Early's attack on Washington,
in July, 1864, 1900 were Quartermaster
volunteers, commanded by Brig. Gen.
Meigs. President Lincoln brevetted
Gen. Meigs Major-Genera1 for his ser
vice with his Quartermaster volunteers.
The survivors now want the discharges
and their names to appear in the roster
to show to their children and grand
children that they were actually in the
Union army.

aAn 1ncen.ed Daughter of the North,

The Chicago Inter Ocean recently
published a letter from a woman who
signed herself as IAN incensed daughter
of the Confederacy." She attempted to
excuse Andersonville and the other
Southern prisons. and claimed that the
Northern prisons were equally bad.
This reused up Mrs. v. G. Way, of Proc
tor, ILL.,, to write to the Inter Ocean in
reply. Mrs. Way says that she is proud
that she is the daughter of one Union
soldier and the wife of another. Her
uncle, Adam Jordan. died in Anderson
vile, and her cousin, Alex Jordan, died
three weeks afterward, a wreck both in
mind and body from his sufferings. 1t
Is a wilful falsehood or else gross ig-
norance to say that the Northern pris-
onS were in any way comparable tC
those of the South. She does not wish
to arouse new feeling or open healing
sores, but when the Daughters of the
Southern Confederacy grossly per
vert history she must speak. These
women are doing more hurt te
their section than any other pos
sib1y can. They claim to be daugh-
ters of the American Revolution,
but they forget that there are
really more of these Daughters in the
North than in the South Mrs. Way
herself had two great -grandfathers who
served thru the Revolution, and We're
pensioned for unusually good service.
She is, however. more proud of her
bluecoat husband and bluecoat father
than of her blue blood, and announces
as her platform one God. one flag, one
land, the United States of progress and
unfailing justice.

Accident to Dr.. Throckmorton.

The Sydney, O., papers contain an
account of an accident to DR.. j. A.
Throckmorton, a prominent citizen OF
that place.. A violent movement of the
train threw him backward, so that he
struck near the base of the cerebellum
with great force upon the arm of a
seat. Fortunately there was prompt
assistance rendered and a fatal termi-
nation was avoided, tho the Doctor was
confined to his home for some time.
Comrade Throckmorton was born in
old Virginia, and in that part which
was loyal to the Union. Altho scarcely
old enough to be accepted as soldier,
he found his way into a West Virg mia
regiment, and followed its flag thru to
Appomattox. After the war he grad
uated as dentist, and located in Sid
nsy, where he has been practicing with
great success for 80 years.
