Senator Burton did not deliver an ad dress. He came down from the platform and, standing on the floor in front of the audience, simply talked to them about the tariff and the untruthful rep resentations - made about , the Payne-Aid, rich bill by the democratic party.

The agriculturist does not care to return to the decidedly cheap prices for his produce that marked the last democratic administration, nor does the mechanic of the city have a desire to return to the situation of no work and starvation wages for what little work la offered, as was experienced in Cleveland days. '. Conditions are good in Johnson county at the present time. In the towns of tho county mechanics and laborers ara at work at a high wage scale and the families of these men are well fed, well clothed and happy. Republicans are awakening to the fact that to divide their strength means success to the opposi tion, and this condition Is far -from courted. Generally speaking the voters are supporting the senatorial, congres sional and state and county tickets and it U thought the county will give one of its old-time republican majorities to the men running on these tickets.

Orders were given to advance early on the morning of May 5, and the army reached a point before Williamsburg at about 7 o'clock. Hooker's division being directly In front o'f Fort Magruder, the principal fortress in the outer line of Richmond's ! defense. The fort was flanked by a line of redoubts extending across the peninsula from the James river to Tork river. "The ground In front of the fort," says the Springfield man, "was open and level, but further to the front it was heavily wooded. This timber had been slashed down to impede the progress of the union troops, and Hooker's division formed In line of battle In this fallen timber and then advanced to the edge of the open ground within range of the artillery but out of range of their musketry. Our artillery was posted Just beyond the edge of the timber, and opened fire with the Infantry supporting It Im mediately In the rear. ' ' , "Soon the enemy's shells were hurtling among the fallen timber, - and we were ordered to lie down and cover ourselves behind tree trunks as well aa we could. It thus happened that only a general line was preserved, although all were ready to fall In at a moment's warning.

"I never knew how long I Slept but It must have been an hour or two. When I awoke I stood up and looked about me. The rain had ceased, 'and a heavy fog mingled with the smoke hung over the field,; but, curiously, it did not quite ex tend down to the ground, and by stooping I could see under It None of my regi ment nor any other was In sight but out in front about fifty yards off was the battery which we had been supporting, several guns dismounted, carriages and caissons wrecked and a great number of horses lying head on the ground. Scat tered about among the wreckage were about twenty men with muskets in their hands and gray overcoats on. "Now. my regiment and another regi ment in the same brigade were wearing gray overcoats, and It never occurred to me for a moment that the men were not of these two regiments. So I shouted to them, 'Do you belong to the regl mentr and greatly to my surplrse their muskets went up to their- shoulders and they yelled, 'Come in here, you Yankee.' As I have said, I was only three months out of Llbby prison, and the only thing I thought of was the dread of going back there, so I grabbed my musket In one hand and my knapsack In the other and started to run for the rear. "If the way had been open probably I would have run in a straight line, but tn the Umber I slgsagged about, Jumping over, crawling under or running around fallen logs, so that when they fired at me not a bullet touched me. But I thought I heard 1,000.000 of them about my ears. I was scared into a panic. I let go my knapsack, but hung to my musket, and with my wet overcoat flap ping about my legs continued to run, ut terly demoralised and with only one thought to get away. If the enemy had had breech-loading or magazine rifles they would have fired again, and prob ably would have got me. But as they were armed with only inutile loaders It took time to load again, and this was my salvation. I did not realise that I had got Into a sons of safety and kept on a half-mile more, when I ran Into a line of cavalry deployed In the rear of our line to drive up stragglers of which . there were a great number aa always happens with an army men who had fallen out before getting to the front and others who had j skulked behind, and still others who had ! gone back to help the wounded. It seems I that the battery which we had been sup- pvrunB iiku oeen pm out or action and that the enemy had turned the flank of Hooker's division, and my regiment and brigade had been hurried over to re-enforce the left, so that when I awoke I was alone. VOfflcers of the cavalry had rallied about 1,000 men, and after getting into an open space organised them Into a regf. ment under officers of the cavalry and noncommlsloned officers among the stragglers. An officer harangued them for a few minutes, Instilling enthusiasm Into them, and then we went forward t the battle line and there we fought until darkness came and ended the battle. I spent the greater part of the night hunt Ing about trying to find my regiment, and it was nearly morning when I discov ered It.
