(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Aug. W. The beglnnlni
of American victories ovr Spain wa
aot at Manila, but at Appomattox,
When General Grant said to the beaten
and broken Confederates after the sur
render, "Keep your horses; you will
need them to plow your fields," ha
sounded the high keynote of that con
sistent Republican -policy which has
resulted In making this nation a union
Indeed, not a mere collection of com
munities pinned together with bay
onets. This haa been brought strongly
to mind by two events which have
Uken place here within th laat few
days the visit et the survivors of
Pickett's division as the guests of Phil
adelphia Grand Army men, and the
meeting of the Pennsylvania Associa
tion of War Veterans' clubs, for the
purpose of reminding the old soldier
and their sons, to whom th war of the
aiitlea la only heroic hearsay, that
there Is a soldier ticket on the Repub
lican corner of the ballot tnia year
which deserves their votes aa repre
sentative of both the past and the
fnt nn nf the country.
However they might appear bi me
flret glance, no two meetings were ever
more consistent with each other. Roth
represented the comradeship ot an true
anidiera. who. in reaching ot the hand
of gallant recognition toward all brave
men who stood in the opposing line, do
not forget th fraternity of men who
hawa aient under the same blanket and
faced the same fire. A veteran of Plck-
att'a who left a lara-e fraction 01 nun
aif In Pennsylvania after that laat
mad dash at Gettysburg and now walk
on crutche made this point very wen.
He was a typical back country virgin
Ian neighbor, no doubt, to that one
who shocked one of th hallboya at
th aualleat hotel In Philadelphia by
appearing upon the ground noor aner
midnight. In sock fee, with his sus
penders hanging from his shoulders
and the Ice water pitcher in his hand,
Inquiring where the pump was-liut he
is a notable man in his neighborhood,
has been continuously Justice of the

ir.nariPiire teaches the observing
hut thre la many a man who is llobl
Mnw nut the itas who Ib nevertheless
fit to make laws for the directors of the
gas company. The 'squire said:
"When General Grant started your
party on that high plane or treatment
of nnr nponle he put us on our honor.
We were down on our backs, and the
nomibllcan Darty was thronea in aDsu
lute power. Ia our anticipation It was
nniv a. nueatlon how many ot our lead
.f. vnn would consider It necessary to
hang. Vou might have treated us aa the
prostrate Inhabitants ot conquereu
ands, and you received us Instead as
fellow citlsens, and uvea up o yuu
nrnrlamatlons that you had been fight
Ing with us for four years only to
vn u In that relation. Much has
hun anM of the magnanimity, the gn
erosity, the charity and so on of the
treatment of the south by the north
after the war, but It took the present
u nr to call Droper attention to the fore
sight and broad statesmanship of the
Republican party In following the pol
iv it ho Dursued. McKlnley has
hnwn himself worthy of the esampl
of Lincoln and Grant. When he contln
ued Fits Lee at Havana and then gave
old Joe Wheeler the chance ne sou am
to go out and get shot at under the old
flag he warmed our hearts and turned
a clinch on the good wora or iu years.
"What do we folks think of Mc
Kiniev? What did you think In '64
when It was tried to put somebody else
Jn Lincoln's place to settle the Job? No
president since Lincoln haa grown upon
the country after his election so fust
as McKlnley, and there are a lot of us
down south who never voted anything
but a Democratic ticket who are not
only going to be for McKlnley next
time, but who are for the ticket that
represent McKlnley this fall. The
party that has fought the war must be
the party to settle the Issues growing
out of the war, now as In '65. We may
be Just at the beginning of our troubles,
and all th nations of this earth must
be taught that this country stands
right behind Its president, as the north
stood by Lincoln. His defeat would
have been worth an army to the Con
federacy then, and any doubtful sound
that would go out to the world from our
voting places this fall might cost us an
other war. Tou we have one party
ta this country which haa proved It
self oapable not only of eonductlng a
(real war, but of gathering Its fruits
and dealing with the questions which
follow, and the enthusiasm for Its suc
cess In the elections this year Is just
plain horse sense. And so," he
added, with a sweeping gesture to
ward the room where the war vete
rans were declaring their loyalty to the
Republican soldier ticket, "so Is that.
I wouldn't give shucks for an old sol
dlr who wouldn't stand by another old
soldier whenever be got a chance."
The War Veterans had a remarka
bly representative and earnest meeting,
by the way. On the roll call 61 coun
ties responded, and, before the presi
dent of the association, ColoneJ Robert
B. Beath, finished his opening address,
a number of others eame In. They were
men whoa names stand for something,
too. As a sample, take this committee
on resolutions: ,
Hon. Oeorge W. rfood ftf Indiana,
chairman: Thomas O. Sample, of Al
legheny; T. A. Cochran, of Armstrong;
Captain Fred M. Terger. of Berks; Hon.
W. T. Davie, of Bradford; Major J.
T. Ensmlnger, of Dauphin; Hon. MU
toa 8. Lytle, of Huntingdon; Captain
& A. Craig, of Jefferson: Colonel Os
car L. Jackson, of Lawrence; General
John P. Taylor, of Mifflin; James &
Morrison, of Philadelphia; Hon. D. J.
Horner, ot Somerset ; Colonel Chill W.
Hassard. ot Washington, and Colonel
N. A. McKown, ot Wyoming.
In the resolutions, which were adopt
ad with fervid applause, after congrat
ulating the country on the heroism of
Its young soldiers who are now In the
field, and warmly endorsing President
McKlnley for. his conduct of ths war,
the association declared as follows:
"That, In the coming election, we
pledge our hearty and unanimous sup
port to our comrades, aa well aa their
associates upon the Republican ticket,
and thus show by our votes that those
who stood by our country's flag and
defended It in the hour ot need have
not been forgotten by a grateful peo
ple, ai.d that such ons our common
wealth delights to honor.
"That it Is the sense of the veterans
ot the Wflr of the rebellion, and we be
lieve It to be the judgment of all the
patriotic citlsens of this commonwealth,
that, as In the year 1864, so now tne
soldiers in the Held should have the
right to vote, and our state officials
should early take the necessary steps
to have this privilege accorded every
soldier and sailor now In th service
of the country.
In 1K64 the Democratic party ot this
state declared that the legislation al
lowing our soldiers and sailors In the
field to vote was unconstitutional, and
In support of that declaration the pres
ent Democratic candidate for governor,
Hon. George A. Jenks. by his voice and
Influence, showed that he was In com
plete accord with the leaders ot his
party, and he ought not, therefore, re
celve political support from those who
believe In the justice ot that measure
to the men then serving their country
on land and sea.
That, aa survivors of the war of the
rebellion, we call upon our comrades
and fellow citlsens to cast their votes
at the coming election for the Republi
can ticket, in order that this great
patriotic state Bholl have a full Re
publican delegation In congress, and a
Republican legislature, so that It shall
become a matter of record that Penn
sylvanla Is arrayed on the side ot right,
justice, humanity and prosperity, thuH
saying to the country at large that
the people may conUnue to rely on Re
publican principles aa the means by
which the nation, under the wise lead
ership ot President McKlnley and his
advisers, may contlnuo on Its onward
march of progress."
Speeches In the line of the resolu
tions were made by Uvneral James W.
Latta, ex-Lieutenant Governor William
T. Davles, General n. Franklin Fisher,
CongreBBmon Thud Mahan and others,
and a campaign committee ot IS was
provided for, to see to It that the work
done with so much effect for McKlnley
In '99, and by the parent organisation
the old "Itoys In lllue" as far back
as 1866, shall be repeated this fall.
Here In Philadelphia, whose big vote
Is always a matter of general state In
terest, the slgnltlcant development of
the week just closed Is the decisive evi
dence that the factional differences
which have split up the party for over
three years have been wiped away
It's as safe as a bet on McKInloy's re
election that there will be only one Re
publican local ticket this fall, with the
whole party behind It.
