G. A. R. AND THE PRESIDENT.

Disrespeet to the Executive Condemned by O. J. Crane Rost. [Cleveland telegram.! The members of O. J. Crane Post, G. A. R., have adopted resolutions which declare: “That this post looks with disaprobation and condemnation upon every and any demonstration of disrespect toward the legally constituted Executive of the National Government; the same being subversive of the foundation principles of the G. A. R., as set forth in the third section of article XI.; and, furthermore, we hope and trust that the department, in its convention at St. Louis, will take such action as will demonstrate that the G. A. R. is not an organization for political purposes or through which to manifest malice, hatred or ill-will.” Curiously enough, Foraker is proud of his latest exploit. After the Wheeling episode he remarked, boastingly: “I’ll bet I talked more Republicanism to those fellows down there than they have ever heard before.” If what he said in West Virginia is “Republicanism” that party is in the way of death by blood-poisoning from defunct issues. The people have something more important on hand than to fight the war over again which ended nearly a quarter of a century ago.— New York World. The political fossils who are endeavoring to lift themselves into Congress by the straps of their leathern lungs will find that the young and representative men who are now occupying seats in the audience will rise up and wallop them with ease. There will be very little hope for the Territorial demagogues in the future State of Dakota. —Bismarck Tribune.
