TURNING POINT OF CONFLICT
Total Losses on Both Sides In Three

BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Vw YASHINGTON.-It Is possi-
AAH BILE, some people would say
WV probable, that the Battle of
Wv Gettysburg changed utterly
the course Of American his
tory. 1t was great fight between
armies of Americans, for probably
fully ninety per cent. of the men who
fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry Of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but it lost it honorably and
with the prestige of its soldiery un-
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were of the kind which 1t takes
iron in the blood to make perfect. At
Gettysburg Northerners and South
erners replenished their store Of re-
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide of the war
between the states. After 1t the
South largely was on the defensive,
but its defense was maintained with
fortitude and in the face of privations
which could not chill the blood of
men fighting for what they thought
was the right.
The Northern armies were persis-
tent in their attacks through the cam
paigns which after few months were
started aginst the objective point,
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came 1t
was the qualities which keep com
pany with bravery which made the
soldiers of the North and South go
ready to forget and to forgive and to
work again for the good of com
mon country.
The great battle of Charlottesville
was fought not long before the oppos
ing Union and Confederate forces met
on the field of Gettysburg. Chancel
lorsville was Confederate victory
The Southern government believed
that the victory should be followed VI
by an invasion of the North for, &C

ant engagement could be won upon

land from invasion, condition which
military men say always adds sub
tie something to the fighting quality
which Ia in any man. Some authori-
ties have said that there were 100, 900
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force 10000 As 1t was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June, 1863, General Robert E..
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester.
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state OF Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and 30 General Stuart with a
large force OF cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit of the Con-
federates IL 1t was attempted.
Late In June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown, in the state of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees in.
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was a great railroad center
and city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds OF
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern com
mander was on his way with large
part Of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command

was ordered to make it's way into the
Susquehanna Valley through the town
OF Gettysburg and then to turn in its
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies, and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg
1t was General Jubal A. Early of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to
Wrightsville. AT this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to camp near Gettysburg.
When Early ahd obeyed Lees order
and had reached point near Gettys-
hurg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand in way to prevent the South
ern general from forming junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hookers approach and
brought the different parts Of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army.
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen.
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
%, 1868, General George Gordan
Meade was named rs General Hook
er's successor in charge of the North
ern army. General Meade at once
went into the field and established
his headquarters at point ten or
twelve miles south of the town of
Gettysburg.
Armies Meet at Gettysburg.
1t seems that General Lee on hear
ing that Stuart had not succeeded in
checking the Union army's advance
had made up his mind to turn south
ward to meet the force of Hooker, or
as 1t turned out the force of Meade.
Lee with his force had advanced
north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade
with his force was south of the town.
The fields near the Pennsylvania vii
lage had not been picked as place OF
battle, but there 1t was that the two
great armies came together and for
three days struggled for the mas

Southern general did not succeed in
the plan which he had formed to get
by Big Round Top and to attack the
Third Corps from position Of van
tage In the rear. General Sickles de-
Tended Round Top and Longstreet
could not take it.
When one visits the battlefield Of
Gettysburg he can trace the course
of battle of the second day where 1t
ragged at Round Top. Peach Orchard,
Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill. and what
Is known as The DEVILS Den. The
tide OF battle ebbed and flowed. Lit
tie Round Top was saved from cap
ture by the timely arrival of brigade
commanded by General Weed that
dragged the guns Of United States
regular battery up to the summit by
hand.
At the end of the second days fight
1t was found that the Southern army
had failed to break the left flank of
the opposing forces, that 1t had failed
to capture Round Top and that the
right flank of the Northern army, al
though vigorously attacked, had not
been broken. There was tremen-
dous loss of life on both sides, and
while in general the day had gone
favorably to the Northern cause Got
tysburg was still drawn battle.
Charge Of Gen. Pickett.

day of the great battle of Gettysburg
that Pickett's men made their charge

their destination had a short hand-to-
hand encounter with the northern sol
diers. 1t was soon over and Pickett's
charge, glorious for all time in his
tory, was a failure in that which 1t
attempted to do, but was success as
helping to show the heroism of Amer
lean soldiers.
The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides were enormous. The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth.
Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Gra-
ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double.
day, Barlow, Sickles, Butterfield and
Hancock were wounded. The total
casualties killed wounded, captured
or missing on the Union side num-
bered nearly $4,000 men. On the Con.
federate side Generals Semmes. Pen.
der, Garnet, Armistead, and Barks.
dale were killed, and Generals Kemp
er. Kimbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and
Trimble were wounded. The entire
Confederate loss is estimated to have
been nearly 10000 men.
The third days fight at Gettysburg
was a victory for northern arms, but
it was hard won fight and the con
fict reflects luster today upon the
north and the south. Lee led his
army back southwark, later to con
front Grant in the campaigns which
| finally ended at Appomattox.

Some Advice From Boston.

The Republican party has just one
duty now paramount, and that Is to
set its house in order. Everything
else must be set aside until that is
done. Personal considerations as to
candidates. and overtures to Bull
Moose to come back into the party
are not properly to be considered. Fix
the party organization on modern
lines, and when that is done those
who wish to will come back into the
party as individuals. and then the
strength of possible candidates vii
appear.--Boston Record

OUR DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

AS to improving the chances Of
poor men to secure nominations, our
direct primary law has proved dis
NAL favor. Thousands of voters will
give the preference to the candidates
whom they have personally met or
with whose names and photographs
they are most familiar. Unless a
candidate has a statewide reputa-
ton, he cannot reasonably hope to
secure a nomination from the peo-
pie unless he makes himself known
to them either by thorough canvas
OF the state or through the medium
OF letters, circulars, placards or news
paper publicity. A poor man can
spare neither the time nor money
required to make a tour of the state,
and an effective campaign conducted
through the mails or newspapers is
TOO expensive for any but rich can
didates to attempt. Then, if nomin-
ated at the primaries, the candidate
Is confronted by the expenses of the
campaign for election which are al
ways quite heavy. This second cam
palgn is necessity because it in
wolves work which cannot be carried
on by the candidate in his campaign
LOT nomination. Then he is appeal
ing to the members of his own party
tor support for himself; after being
nominated he must appeal to the
people of all parties to support the
principles of the platform on which
ne is running.
1t is true that candidate cannot
puy nomination from the people
as has som etimes been done from
the delegates to conventions 1t is
also true that the possession of great
wealth does not commend a candi-
uate to the people as strongly as it
uoes to the politicians who dominate
conventions. But nevertheless thu
rlch candidate who uses his money
W make thorough canvass of the
state and to bring his name prom
inently before the people has a tre-
Mendous advantage over the candi-
uete who cannot afford to make such
canvass nor to manufacture such
publicity. This defect in the system
"lght be remedies in part by adding
provisions to the law strictly limit
ns the primary campaign expenses
" all candidates for nominations and
piohlDlting the newspapers from
pllhtlng for a consideration any
pietures advertisements or read
.hs notices regarding any candi-
uate' This would not prevent
we papers from giving their
support to any candidates whom
ney deemed worthy. Another plan,
anicn has been suggested, is for the
STATE TO publish and send to every
'o'ef pamphlet containing the pic
suie OF and a short statement by
candidate setting forth the ar
suments in favor of his candidacy.
nis method might prove effective,
royioed that all the candidates were
p'oniDlted from using any other
,eans OF publicity in the promotion

vi heavy expense upon the tax

s"'en to make an intelligent selec-
on between the rival aspirants. II

ANNUAL MESSAGE TO congress

out Notice

Mexico City, Sept. 1G.-President
Huerta, delivered his semi-annual
message tonight at the opening of the
second session OF twenty-seventh
Mexican congress. In it me promised
20 spare no efforts to bring about the
unrestricted election of president
and vice president of the Mexican re-
public next month, declaring it to con-
stitute the governments triumphic
career to turn over the Office to his
successor with the country at peace,
is he had hoped to do.
Huerta said the strained diploma
tic relations between Mexico aud the
United States caused the Mexican ma
ion to suffer unmerited affliction and
retarded the pacifcation OF the coun-
sry Nevertheless he hoped for an
early solution of the differences be-
tween the two nations and to see Mex
ico and the United States again unit
ed in The bonds of friendship.
The message is disappointing to
those expecting that Huerta '.ould
deal at some length with the recent
diplomatic exchanges
