It was one of the most brilliant cavalry exploits of the war, said Gen. Grant.

The regiment could not remain idle and very soon Hatch led It, with some other troops, Including the Sixth Iowa Infantry, on a raid to Okalona and back. Shortly, too, Maj. Coon led a part of the Second ar1 detachments of other regiments In a splendid raid on Granada. It was a hard ride, but the command destroyed sixty locomotives and great army supplies, mills, shops and depots. Coon was gone eleven day on this raid.

The regiment soon went to Memphis, where it remained quiet until the end of November. Once during this breathing spell Hepburn led the command against a rebel column, threatening the garrison at Coillersvllle. A brisk light took place and the rebels leaving 200 or 300 dead, and wounded, tied from the held.

Will Judge Babb please turn the flash light of his party's free whiskey bottle platform upon those Irrefutable facts and tell his audiences why the Gorman-Wilson tariff has reduced the prices of all Iowa farm products and advanced the values of about all manufactured atoods the farmers are compelled to buy? ATo! He will not even dare to read this paragraph as a portion of his speeches!

It will be well for all Iowa coal miners tn remember that a general strike for higher wages for mining coal In this state can not be made successful unless theminingratels made the same throughout Iowa.

The speech Is brief, filling hardly more than one-third of the space occupied by Judge Babb's Cedar Rapids effort, and It is clear. It is nothing more than a direct statement of his views on all questions involved in the campaign.

Matthews, School er, Plplno and llanawalt, with Dr. Patchin plants himself on the Democratic position and In line with his party so far as the tariff and prohibition are concerned, bat it is difficult to decide how he stands on the financial question. In one sentence, he talks like a free sliver man, and In another he seems to glide away from the Issue. He recognizes that something should be done but Is not clear in his own mind as to how It should be done.

If he had expressed himself as favorably toward the remonetizatlon of silver, last August, the federal office holders would not have nominated him at Marshall-town. It la gratifying, how-ever, to sliver Democrats to see the candidate who was nominated by the aid and Influence of an anti-silver sentiment, recede from a position where he would be known as a single gold standard candidate on the Democratic ticket, and frankly acknowledge that th" duty of Democrats is to stand for gold and Bilver as primary money. It is a concession that counts, and so far as Judge Babb goes, we congratulate him on getting into line and In harmony with the dominant Democratic Idea, We would, however, give notice to all concerned, that no half way measures will do In the coming great conflict; the isptie will be clearly defined in the contest of 1S96 and he who expects to go with us must say in plain terms that he is for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without asking the consent of Kngland or any other nation on earth. We earnestly hope that Judge Babb will give the state other surprises during the as chairman. speech.

"Good and sound on all questions" Is the universal compliment. That speech was a ten-strike for the Iowa senator.

On the 28th of May, the regiment, together with the Second Michigan Cavalry, the whole led by Elliott, dashed around to the south of Corinth In the night, and destroyed the rallroac. In the rebel rear, together with large supplies, capturing also many prisoners. It was a brilliant exploit and made Hatch a colonel and Elliott a brigadier. About this time Philip Sheridan became colon' I of the S. cond Michigan, the comrade reglmer of our Sr-rond, and the two leaders.

Hatch and Sheridan, and their two dashing regiments, became distinguished In, the storv of the war. The command had constant hard scouting and chasing all those Corinth days; almost day and night they were in the saddle. On the 1st of July, the two regiments, then led by Sh'Tldan, fought the cavalry battle of Boonevllle. It was a hard encounter, but a line victory was won by Sheridan over Chalmers, who had attacked with 5.000 men. Hatch snd Sheridan both showed thelrftghtlngqualltles here, and the latter received the star of a brigadier.

A couple of months of rest In camp near followed, disturbed only tice to the delivered speech. Senator Allison followed the printed speech liberally, but toward the close he warmed up to his theme and injected much that does oric or oratory; it is rather the talk of a buslners man, a man who has an easy utterance without the arts of the public speaker. There is an atmosphere of reminiscence In the speech which Is almost delightful. Gen. Drake began life In Iowa In the great days of Grimes and Klrk-wood and he refers to incidents in the campaigns of those great leaders.

He pays a tribute to the pioneers who made. Iowa what It Is to-day and reviews the development of the Industrial and educational interests of the state. He touches briefly on state Institutions and their manngement; and speaks a good word for the State University as the apex of Iowa's educational system, and then restates his vinvs on the liquor question as Involved In present state politics. There is nothing essentially new in this part of his speech. It Is a substantial reaffirmation of the views which he expressed in an Interview In The Register Immediately following his nomination.

Secretary iWalsh, the secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee, who Is an ardent advocate of free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, says that the free silverltes are satisfied with Judge Babb's Cedar Rap-Ids speech. He says that Judge Babb practically announced himself for free silver, and next year the whole Democratic party will be wheeled into line In favor of the white metal. The editor of the Ft. Madison Democrat, another ardent free silver advocate, after reading Judge Babb's Cedar Rapids speech wrote the following comments for his paper, which shows how free silver men regard the Marshalltown candidate: We furnish to our readers this evening tine speech of Judge Habh opening the lm-ocratlc campalRn. He tak.s the right position on the stale Issue and practically repudiates the state fedf-ral officeholders' platform on the money question.

This he linds It necessary to do to gi votes In Iowa, as Hardin found it necessary to votes In Kentucky. The speech Is sound and instructive. The matter is further explained when It Is stated that Judge Babb went to the Marshalltown convention under the espionage and chaperonage of Fred White, the ex-congressman of the Sixth district, Populist and all around advocate of silver. Mr. White traveled with Judge Babb and It was then whispered that the Mt.

Pleasant man, who ostensibly did not want the nomination, had made his peace with the free coinage men. His Cedar Rapids speech, and the comments on it by the silver press, bears out this Interpretation of the matter. Judge Babb is engaged In a double play which is fraught with danger. What did Judge Babb say in the Cedar Rapids speech, which the free coinage men have so liberally applauded? Here are a few sentences: "The great body of "Iowa Democrats are firm believers in "the doctrine of the free and unlimited "coinage of both gold and sliver on exact What does this language mean? "Free," "unlimited," "exact equality" clearly they mean coinage at 16 to The silver men so understand It. He cannot make himself clear unless he says In so many words that he believes or does not believe tn the ratio of 16 to 1.

Will he do so In his next speech Or will he go on avoiding a direct expression, mm bv an attemoten surprise on tne nan ot inh progress of the campaign: he has advanced beyond the Interpretation of the platform that the gold standard bosses place on It, and Is fairly on his way to safe ground. If he would rally every true Democrat to his support, he must declare for the complete restoration of silver, and this means 16 to 1, without regard to England's withes.

Should say so. We have It right here In Iowa, where Judge Babb, the Democratic candidate for governor, has within a week declared himself In favor of the "free and unlimited coinage of both gold and sliver, on terms of exact equality." The free silver Democrats are now saying that the administration captured the Marshalltown convention, but that on the home stretch they have captured the Marshalltown candidate for governor. It looks that way. In his Cedar Rapids speech. Judge Babb said: "The great body of Iowa Democrats are firm believers in thedoctrlneof "the free and unlimited coinage of both "gold and sliver on terms of exact equality." What did the judge mean? Isn't this language for free ctlnage? The free coinage men say so.
