STATE GUARDS IN CAMPY,
Meade,
roster of the National Guard of Penn- |
sylvania only 27 officers and 339 men
are absent from camp George GG. Meade, |
Gettysburg, making a rather unusual |
and exceedingly creditable average of |
90.7 per cent. present.
Thousands of people visited the
camp Sunday, though their presence
could not be appreciated save by those |
they visited because of the vast extent |
of the camp. Itwas only the over-|
filled trolley cars and the endless
chain of vehieles of all sorts and cor-|
ditions that entered the camp that]
gave one any idea of the great crowd |
of visitors. Assoon as the passengers
deft the cars they were lost in the com- |
pany streets of the regiments. Many |
of the excursionists who hoped to]
visit the camp are said to have been |
gtalled in Harrisburg, the railroads |
being unable to bring them on to |
Gettysburg Thirty-vine sections are |
said to have started from various |
places for camp and less than three |
fourths of this number reashed their |
destination. |
Sunday Bellefonte came in for its]
share of notoriety, when a citizen of |
that place was arrested in Gettysburg |
by Prov. Marshall Loree for masquer- |
ading as ap cflicer of the militia. The |
provost guard had been endeavoring |
to catch the man since Friday. He |
was placed in the town jail to await
trial.
Chaplain Henry A. F. Hoyt, of the |
Sixth Regiment, was the only chap-|
lain who held services on Sunday.

The barmony which Senator Quay
has proclaimed sees to be of n kind
that requires constant attention snd
frequent readjustment. He went to
Pittsburg to harmonize the machine
there and came awsy satisfied. A few
days later he was obliged to return and
this time the supposedly harmonious
Recorder Brown kept out of his way
and bas not yet been brought to terms.
Even the Harrisburg barmony lasted
only while Quay and Stone were to-
gether, in one of these midnight coun.
cile that recalled old and tender asso
ciations, Stove himself is authority
for the present statement that nothing
came of it and that he has not been
harmo niged.
It is particularly interesting to learn
from Btone that he has declived the
gold briek tendered him in the form
of a foreign mission and intends
to rewain at bome., He i= possessed
of the very strong and very just idea
that if Quay is to have a vote of confi
dence for his conduct of the State gov-
erntuent, bis Governor ought not to
be left out. He is ready to join the
procession, but he wauts his proper
place near the bead and his due recog.
nition as a true representative of the
machine. Ie is not going to take a
back seat for auybody.
