The story of the play is the story of
plain barnyard cock. who believes, quite
simply, that his morning Growing actually
causes the sun to rise. He feels an ex-
allied responsibility for this daily service
to the world, and guards it as the secret
of his life. In the end he is disillusioned

merely the unworthy instrument appoint

her cap for Chantecler. and, by her

Like all idealists, Chantecler has
enemies; those who. like the Blackbird,
wisely know that he does not bring the
dawn, and laughs cynically at his simple
unclean birds who hate him because it is
his song which is the signal that drives
them to their respective retreats: and,
finally. those like the squat, envious

above them.

This great gathering owes its
being to a, mighty protest against
those who haveN poisoned the wells of
the democracy. The platform you
have adopted today says to the Amer
lean people: We recognize the social
and industrial issues of the time. We
present remedies for them. You can
not expect relief from either of the
old parties. But experience tells us
that conquering is slow unless the le-
gions are led by one whose qualities
of leadership are equal to the task of
molding public opinion and establish.

Such leadership is personified in him

candidate is a national asset. In this
momentous period or political doubt
there is no man who presents such
credentials as his. He has fought the
most vicious forces in American life
and conquered them. He surrendered
the presidency in the hope that other
hands would prosecute successfully
what he did not have time to finish
That test has been treated with in
termitten loyalty and largely left un
done. While others talked he acted
my candidate is the man coura

fear and asked no quarter. 1t is in
evitable that a man who has aroused
the bitterest hatred of the mighty oi

who seek to destroy him. He is the
only man in public life today of whom
they have any genuine fear. To sucf

took at Brice's Crossroads:

Near Memphis, Tenn, August 8, 1854.
Sir: have the honor to report as
to the part taken by the Third Iowa
cavalry in the expedition unuer Gen.
Sturgis. Approaching Brices Cross
roads at II a. m, this command went
into line of battle by battalion on the
right of the main road, and soon after
the artillery opened in front. We then
advanced beyond Brice's about 500
yards. After forming in line with the
balance of the brigade the cavalry was
dismounted and the horses sent to the
rear Soon after We became heavily
engaged with the enemy, and held
them in check for an hour. On the left
of our brigade the enemy was driven
back three different times. At this
juncture my whole command was re-
lieved by regiments Of infantry, and
was retiring when the infantry became
engaged. We formed a new line in
their rear, rather than to appear to
leave them in an emergency.
"The contest lasted but short time
after this, and the enemy was hotly
pressing his victory, and we took a
second position, mounted, to protect
the retreating column. A column Of
sQuadrons was again formed facing
the enemy and retired by alternate
squadron, keeping the enemy in check.
Our greatest difficulty was to cross
the swamp in our rear, and in it were
caught most of the artillery and train
of the army. Arriving at Stubbs' plan
tation, we rested from II p. m. to 2
a. M, when We again moved toward
| Ripley, holding the rear. At Ripley l
| found the infantry filling the streets,
and was notified that the enemy was
about to attack on the left. l formed

rear, and at the same time was or
