hung with the red , white and blue , whllo
the stage was draped with a background
Df the same tricolor. A etlll further patri

Yesterday afternoon was to have been
upent by the delegates In visiting the ex
position grounds , but on account ot the wcl
nml disagreeable weather It was decided
to hold a business session and to select
Bomo other afternoon during the encamp
ment to make the visit. Consequently the
delegates were called together again at S
o'clock and remained In session during the
remainder of the afternoon.
The principal part of this session was
spent In listening to the reports 'of officers ,
In the absence of Commnndor-ln-Chlef Dar
ling the most Interesting report was thai
ot Adjutant General Fred E. Belton , whc
took occasion to review the work of tin
administration. In the course ot the reporl
bo , said i
'This ' encampment meets at a'most ausplc-

Speaking of the present condition of th (

Tact that shortly after the election of the

report says :

and has been In company with that gallan
soldier on n number of occasions , notably ,

of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans
General Gobln has at all times been wlllln
to advance the Interests ot our organtzatlo

Speaking ot the membership ot the orde

ite tlons of war , and the consumption of brea

of life would haw been Just as great If t :
men mustered nito the army liad stay
at home. The withdrawal ot men from t
channels of Industry to carry on war d
not have any perceptible effect on so gre
a city as New York. The prosperity , In 11
opinion , has come about through the con
dcnco the people have In the wisdom of t
administration. Business has simply r
siimed In view of the safe conservatism
the administration's financial and corn me

are good , which IB always a presage of r
publican success. Foster M. Voorhees , w
has be-cn acting governor since Grlggs' a
polntment , will get the nomination for go
ernor and there Is not the slightest dou
of his election. New Jersey Is one of t
strongest gold standard states.
Louis R. Ehrlcb , whose home Is at Col
rado Springs , bad a word or two on Col
ado politics , somewhat different from the
lows brought hero by Chairman Towno ol
ho silver republicans , particularly the affali
it the killing ot a McKlnley republican nt
Colorado Springs recently. Said he :
The remarkable thing about the situation
n Colorado Is the practical abandonment
of Senator Teller by the so-called silver re
publicans , Indicating that the silver antl-
McKlnley republicans will be a pretty lonely
sot In 1900. The culmination ot feeling
which led to tbo murder ot a McKlnley
cpubllcan In the Colorado Springs opcrs
louse has a deeper significance than mosl
people realize. To my mind the crack ol
that rlflo means the approaching death ol
the free silver craze , Just as the attack ot
Lovejoy , however unrecognized at the mo
ment , meant a culmination ot feeling whlct
brought about the speedy abolition of slav <
cry. Thcro can be no doubt but that then
Is n weakening ot the free silver sontlmcnl

"The republicans of Idaho , " sold Mr
DuBols , "aro more honest than those o

The hard ruin of Monday morning could
not prevent the soldiers of the Scconil Ne
braska regiment from pulling out for home.
At noon there were not more than 150 sot-
dlcrs left In Camp George U. Mclklejohn ,
and the bulk of these are the men selected
to remain hero with Colonel Bills during
the thirty days' furlough to look after the
post. One hundred and twenty soldiers and
a half dozen officers will stay hero.
There was no ceremony about the depart
ure of the mpii. Aa Undo Sam did not have
charge of their homeward transportation
there was nothing official about their going
out , and they left whenever they pleased ,
They were paid off Sunday attcrnoon , anil
some of them reft for homo on Sunday even
ing. The great majority , however , did nol
leave until Monday morning. At all of the
railroad stations they could bo seen buylnf
tickets and boarding the first westbound
trains going near their respective homes
All of the railroad companies allowed tin
soldiers halt rates , so they bought rouni !
trip tickets for the regular one-way faro
A few of the men remained In town t (
spend a few days at the exposition , ant !
a number spent the morning about fowl
waiting for the afternoon trains to carrj
them back to the old folks at home.

Thn garrison of 120 men left at Cam [
Mclklejohn lounged about their compan ]
quarters yesterday In no very cheerful frami
ot mind. Either they had no homo to wol'
come them or they had been kept from fol.
lowing tholr comrades by the drawing of tin
lot , and In cither cnfo the desertion of tin
post and the state of the weather made tin
surroundings rather dismal. Another bur
den was the return to camp discipline
which has been entirely relaxed during thi
j last week. The garrison Is now under tin
same rules which prevailed at Camp Thomai
and their time is quite fully occupied. K.\cl
company detail of ten men Is required ti
furnish Its quota for guard and fatigue ilul ;
and nt other times is required to be wlthli
