an object to fight for, and that Ma
houe is now fighting the same repub
lican organization in Virginia that he
did four years ago.

saying in his speech at Lincoln, "1
expect, after the nomination at Chi
cago, to cause Nebraska to roll up a
majority of 35,000 or 40,000 for the
nominee of the convention." We

to seem so egotistical.

Hammond spoke to the boyB and
girls in bis own happy style. His
warm-hearted address, teeming with
apt illustrations, happy anecdotes
and earnest exhortations, wa3 listened
to by the little folks with breathless
attention. Would that we had more
such "gray-haired captains" among
us, men who deem it not below their
dignity to speak to the children, and
who dare to stand up lor truth aud
right. We assure you, friend Ham
mond, that your fervent "God bless
you, children," will reverberate
throughout all eternity aud bring
fruit "a thousand fold."
Selections were also read by Bert
Galley, Eddie Ballon and others. Our
juvenile Band is anxious to see an
organization of grown people,(branch
of the National, or State Humane
Association,) in order to have some
headquarters at which case3 of cruelty
which may be witnessed almost daily
on our streets, can he reported.
