Ij 5 THE GENERALS. HOW SICKLES MADE A CONYERT The Veteran Who Fought Under the Fighting New Yorker. The "Generals" passed through Harrisburg this morning on their way to Pittsburg, where they will speak at a largo mass meeting to night. In the party were Generate Shekels, Howard, Alger and Stewart, the latter Pennsylvania's Adjutant General. Genertil Stewart, in conversation the oilier day, said that the greatest ova'tions the veterans received were in Nebraska and Kansas, two States thlat it is claimed will be carried by Bryan.

At Topeka, Kansas, there were people who had traveled two daya in order to be on the ground in time to see the Generals. Many of thorn were old soldiers wiia had fought under one or the other of the. Generals, and they wanted to shake hands with their old commander. One mnn, who with his wife ha 1 made a two days' journey across the prairie to see the Generals, had fought under Siekels at Gettysburg He gained entrance to the ear when it stopped and was overjoyed nt the opportunity to again meet his old commander. Strange to say the Kansas veteran wore a Brj'an badge.

Siekels greeted him heartily, but made no reference to the Bryan badge. In the speeches that followed the reception the old man stood near the car, and Siekels, without soeaning to do so, began to talk directly nt hiim. He appealed to the old soldiers in the crowd to come out and uphold the honor of the country just ns they did in 1801, and he saw the old soldier's lip quiver. Painting in fervid language the results that would follow if anarchy 'triti ma ahed Siekels again played for the old man, and iie saw the old fellow's eyes get moist. Then, in an outburst of jKi.triot ie sieeeli, Siekels called on all of lids old comrades in the crowd who would vote as they fought to hold up their hands.

The old man reached for his Bryan badge it off, threw it to the ground and stamped! on it two or three times. Then he threw out his chest, stKxxl proudly erect and held up his band. Those on the car who knew that Siekels wns making a play for that particular comrade, loudly applauded the old man's action. General Stewart says that the ground was strewn with Bryan badges wherever the party stopped, and it was the greatest trip that ever mortal man took. Secretary Herbert ha.s decided to naime one of the new United States battleships now in course of construction, the Marietta.

We take it, of course, that this vessel is named after the town of Marietta, Pa. Such being the case, when the new vessel is launched Ool. James Duffy should be master of ceremonies, and Ithere are lots of pretty girls in Marietta who will grace the occasion and one of them could be selected to break the bottle of champaigny water on the 1kw and christen the new ship. It will be a great day for Marietta on the Susquehanna. It is the talk of the city, the hanging out of the flags for honest money and American honor on Saturday, and nobody will bo surprised if every house in the city displays an American flag.

Every citizen who believes that the cause of McKinley and Hobart is the one that will redound to the benefit of this country will hang out his flag. Every workshop should be decorated whether the wflicels are moving or not. If the wheels are not moving they will bo moving after McKinley and Hobart are elected. Hang out your flag for that. Hang out your flag for the glory of the country and that you live in it.

Hang out your flag because the ticket of the honest Americans is going to be elected next Tuesday. With a Dull I'll a When the N'llolR like snow flak, Ah the post well has aW.

The Evening Telegraph feels compelled to apologize to the Judges of the Dauphin county Court for the shameless behavior of some of its misguided contemporaries. For the hrst time in its history the Ledger has thus been taken over the judicial knee and soundly spanked.

The spectacle is not an edifying one, and for obvious, reasons nothing is said about it in the columns where it might have been looked tor. The Lodger is too full for utterance, on this point. Quite conveniently forgetful of its extraordinary reflections upon the learned Court, our self bruised and pitifully humiliated contemporary to day goes to the extreme, in its laudation of the purity and wisdom, of the Judges, public confidence in whom it so wickedly sought to brenk forty eight hours before. It is the quivering pen of. the reproved editor, but the sinister voice of Shylock: A Daniel come to judgment! Yea, a Daniel! wise young Judge, how I do honor thee! noble Judge! excellent young man! Most rightful Judge! Most learned Judge! No doubt Judges Simonton and Mc Phorson understand the and will lie disposed to overlook the misconduct of our contemporaries.

But every rood citizen of Philadelnhia will earnest ly hope that such a discreditable incident will never again do Known in tne History of Philadelphia journalism. PKItllONAL PASAOKAPHN.

Chicago, Oct. 29. Marcus A. II anna, chairman of the Republican National Committee, has issued the following address to voters: "In your hands is the destiny of our nation. With you rests the responsibility of deciding for or againstyouir country's honor.

Alone in your booths on election day, with your conscience as your only guide, you will indicate whether youi stand for or against the best principles of government. You should calmly and carefully consider before you act. Let no impulse sway you; let action be upon matured conviction. "As you go to the polls on Tuesday morning you will surely look upon the flag of our common country in a spirit of reflection. The cost of life and treasure by which it has leen preserved unsullied to represent a united people should be re mouibered.

Reflect whether you would preserve for your posterity the national honor which it represents. For what do the Stars and Stripes stand? What lesson have they taught, and what do they guarantee to family and home? "In the name of these precious memories and as on earnest of your patriotic intentions at the approaching election, the Republican National Committee has asked that you display the national colors ou next Saturday. Unfurl everywhere that banner of freedom which thrills the heart of every country loving citizen. Show your colors. Let this last Saturday in the campaign of 1896 be memorable by a universal expression of patriotism.

And let the national colors remain in view until after election, so that voters on their way to the polls may not lose sight of that inspiring insignia, which has welded our people together as one family efore the world. "Patriotic voters, you each and every one can render a service in this campaign. You cannot only cast your vote for good money, good government and protection to your home and your flag, but you can secure for these great principles at least one other vote. Each patriotic citizen should himself or herself individually endeavor to rescue a friend from error of am unwise exercise of his elective franchise, from voting against those principles of national honor for which our people have striven for over a century. The women of the country mothers, daughters and sisters who have at heart the Happiness of family and home, can perform effective work by appealing in Eerson to acquaintances and friends who ave votes to support our cause.

of the Theodore Roosevelt returned toNew York a few days ago from Illinois and Michigan, where he has been on his second stumping tour of this campaign. He has come back with more confidence than ever that the American people will repudiate Bryan, and his crew next Tuesday. Mr. Roosevelt said yesterday: I do not believe that the Eastern ple have the faintest idea of the intensity and fervor with which the friends of hon est government anu sound money are waging the campaign in the West. I wish I could impress upon the men of the East the debt of gratitude that wo our brothers in the West who have fought xuis ngui wiiu bit iiiuc courage.

Here in the East the tide is all in one direction There is not the slightest so far as the local result is concerned. But in the west uryan ana Aitgeld and all the evil forces they represent are at the very doors, and men who believe in the perpetuity of American institutions.whose very thresholds have been in danger have fought them with energy and courage. iever mis mere uctl a campaign waged on higher grounds than this. The ap neal to the doodIo of the West hns essentially one to the patriotism of Americans as Americans, to love of country.and xo nonest muiguuuuu those who are menacing her honor. Bryan's and Alt gold's efforts to excite the West against the East have been met by the Westerners themselves.

I have been told much by those who went to the Populist and Democratic conventions of the Von rvm rvn hatred displayed in those bodies for the AUiVOL. iJUl 1 itlllt IUI IOU1 tlUlt IIO VTaCC Of such is to be found among the great masses of the vigorous and self confident merchants, farmers, and workingmen who will control the destinies of these Western orates. Men who know that they have in thom the capacity of success, and who feel the mrui or pride tnar. comes with strong hands, stout hearts, and cool heads, do not see the necessity of being jealous of anybody. The strength of the Ponnlist lies with the ignorant and vicious and also witn the weak, who nave not the intelligence to see that their failure i 1 i ia due not to others, but to themselves, but wxio wisn xo pui me uiume or their shortcomings on some one else.

If they live in big cities, they attack the neonle th nt flrp prosperous. If they live in some remote country district like, lor instance, the Populistic farming counties of ICnnsns they make their bogie the Easterners in stead of their prosperous neighbors. "In Chicago, or Detroit, or Minneapolis it is useless to try to appeal to the hatred of the East. They have too much comfort in their own strength and vigor to feel the need of being jealous of some other part of the country. It is only whea we get among men who lack in cournsre nnd have an uneasy sense of their own failure that it is possible to preach the gospel of sectional natrea.

velt, "there is enthusiasm enough in New xoi out it aoes not Degm to compare with the enthusiasm seen in Chicago. Al most every respectable man, whether shopkeeper or laborer, is against Altsreld. and his strength is drawn purely from the lowest element or the community, the most incapable of self government, the population from which are recruited the ranks of criminals and semi criminals. I have never spoken to more enthusiastic audiences than one in the Coliseum in Chicago, composed of 12,000 or 14,000 people. They spent the first three quarters of an hour almost as if they were in a campnieeting, singing the 'Star spangled and the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic But with all this enthusiasm it was astonishing to notice the closeness with which the audience followed what would be regarded ordi narily ns a dry economic argument.

It was this intense interest, this eager desire to weigh every word of the sneakers' argu ments, which Has struck me the most this year, alike in audiences addressed in the liiast and in the West. "While I was in Michigan I spoke three times in cities on the same day as Mr.Bry an, and on one day the train 1 was on closely followed through four or five towns Bryan's special train, so that I had some opportunity to watch the effect of his speeches. Great crowds gathered to hear him, and here and there he undoubtedly produced some effect. But on the whole, what struck me the most was that the great bulk of hearers were neonle who had come to listen from curiosity. just as they would have gone to see any especially attractive circus or celebrity.

In one place where ho had a jammed audience a ballot was taken of a crowded trolley car with a load of excursionists going to hear him. and out of the sixty one persons in the car fifty nine intended to vote tor JNlclvinley. in another town, where Bryan was speaking I went with the crowd. All of them were perfectly good humored and didn't interrupt him, but after they had heard mm ror hve minutes they lost all interest and began, to talk nmone them selves, so that his voice could not be heard titty feet oft. Undoubtedly Bryan has a great hold uihmi the unintelligent and the.

vicious. He attracts that type of the farmer whose gate hangs on one hinge, whose old hat supplies tne piace or a missing winaow pane, and who is more likely to le found at the cross roads grocery store than behind the plough. He attracts still more the professional laboring man of the type that labors as little as possible, and con tiuu strives to delude sucn worKuig men ns are ignorant and foolish enough to be misled into some movement which cannot but end in disaster. But the thrifty, intelligent, and resolute are in the majority, and it was mv invariable experi ence mat men of this stamp, even.n somewhat predisposed in favor of Bryan were repelled by the cheapness of the man. I do not like to use such a word in rererence to a Presidential candidate, but there is no other which describes him so well.

"I believe his trip through Michigan materially aided the nnrtv of sound money. It. would be iiunossible to sneak in words of too high praise of the sound money and honest government Democrats in this campaign, and in no State have they done more than in Michigan. I was in towns wiiiere oue iourtu of the entire Democratic vote had been nolled bv name in favor of McKinley. he success of Mr.

Bryan would be so leiriuie in us results, a disaster iraugiii wuu sucn immeasurable evil for Ainen cans, and would lie tho source of such bit ter humiliation to every right thinking American, proud of his nationality, that we cannot help feeling uneasy until the victory is actually won; but were the stakes not so large we would trouble ourselves very little over tne matter, for it is dillicult to see where there is any possibility of McKinlev's defent. Prophecy is a dangerous game, but I think it safe to say mat in the middle West will be seen a landslide for honest government almost like that in the East "and that we sail win nearly one half of the extreme West ern htates and one half of the northern tier or the Southern States."

Boyd Hamilton at his residence, 315 "Walnut street. A change for the worse occurred about 8 o'clock last evening and he sank rapidly. Adam Boyd Hamilton was born in Harrisburg, September ISth, 1808, sou of Hugh Hamilton, who was a son of Capt. John Hamilton) and of Rosanna Boyd, only child of Adam Boyd. Both these ancestors were purchasers of property in 1785, both erected substantial brick mansions, and both died and are buried here.

The subject of this notice received his hrst school training under Messrs. Gra ham and Smith, at Second and Mulberry streets, tjnaries Btui, Aiagmnes, iiirk nmn, Hamilton, Tod and Davies. Most of his time was devoted to picking un the trade of printer in his father's establishment, the HaTrisburg Chronicle. At this early period two late chief justices of the Supreme Uourt or Jrennsylvania, Messrs. Lewis and Thompson, were employed there, as well as many gentlemen who rose to social and political positions.

Having been carefully trained ns a printer, after leaving the Harrisburg Academy he was appointed to a position in the engineer corps of the Juniata division of the State works, under Do Witt Clinton, as chief. The partner of his father having died, he returned to Harrisburg and became partner in the Chronicle, where he continued until that paper was disposed of to other parties. He was chosen, when scarcely of voting age, one of the printers to the Legislature. After spending a couple of years in a business venture in the South, he returned to Harrisburg, and shortly 'after was appointed to a pasiti'omi ait Washington city. He re signed to take control of the Pennsylvania Reporter, ait Harrisburg; after a year or two he was unanimously chosen assistant clerk of the Senate, resigning that, and becoming joint partner in the Pennsylva nian at fluladelphia witn.

Again he became printer to the State until 1861, when he retired from that business and became an agricultur ist. He held many municipal omces a school director for twelve years president of the Select Council, and one of the Com missioners or lc00, and of a commission lfii) to make a plot of the city of Harrisburg: president of the Pennsylva nia State Agricultural Society, the Dau phin County Society; a trustee of the Har risburg Academy, secretary or the Hoard of Managers of the Harrisburg hospital from the hrst meeting on the subject in 1872. president of the Board of Trustees of Derry Presbyterian Church; trustee of the Harrisburg lJublic 1 iibrary, and the only president of the Dauphin County Historical society since its rormation.

But unfortunatel, ami perhaps fortunately, too. for he would have been defeated by a very large ma jority, that gentleman's name will not ap pear on the otticiai ballot next luesday, and the work expended on his letter or acceptance was all in vain.

But then? is a higher and twitter reason than all this affords for voting against free coinage. That policy is a proposal of dishonesty. It would be a deliberate swindle.

Every indication points to a lively political time on Friday evening of this week, as both the Repub licans ana uemocrats have arranged for a mass meeting at tne same time. The Democrats have engaged the grand stand opposite the Reliance House, and the Republicans have now decided to hold their meeting at the Dauphin House, a square below. A big time is anticipated. The new telephone wire between Harrisburg and Dauphin, which is being placed by tne Pennsylvania Uompany, was stretched as far as the railroad crossing below the Dauphin tower. How long the railroad company intend to debar the telephone company from crossing their tracK is nord to say, as the wires have been hanghig loose on both sides for sev eral months.

Forty six years is a good long time for one establishment to be conducted by one family, but the well known Boas iewelrv establishment has been in that family just that length of time. Jacob D.

Boas, long since gone to his fathers, the honored Mayor of Harrisburg, establshed the store in Market Square below the present Com monwealth notei in iuu, and in lSuo was succeeded by Charles S. Boas, of genial memory, who removed the store to iNortn, Market iSquare in lsu. In turn he was succeeded at his death in 18SG. after a long and useful career, by his son, C. Ross Boas, who has made a remarkable success of tlie business and who to day opened his handsome new store room at 214 211) Market street, corner of Court avenue.

The new room is without doubt the handsomest jewelrr establishment in lenusylvauia outside of Philadelphia or Pittsburg. The interior is a gem, everything being in ixrfect good taste. The walls and ceilings are blue and silver lin crusta walton, the floors blue and white tiling and the fixtures mahogany and rosewood. Six eases nre on the tables. while the wall cases are of the most beau tiful design aud cover cue side and the rear end of the store room.

There are many groups of incandescent lights, so that the interior will be a thing of rare beauty anil brilliancy when illuminated at night.
