Gordon was regarded as the typical Georgia soldier, "and there was no man whom Georgians, in fact those of all the South, more delight ed to honor. Then, after the war, in legislative halls, executive chair and upon the orator's platform he ear ned the message of peace and fellow ship to every section of the countvy becoming ,in fact, a national charac ter admired and ioved wherever he was known. Indeed, not a few sub scriptions to the fund with which the monument was erected came from those Avho stood in opposing ranks in the sixties, and with each came a message cf admiration and esteem for his nobility of character and gener osity of heart. This monument was erected at an approximate cost of-$25,000, of which .$ 10,00&. was raised by private sub scription among comrades and friends largely-in. Georgia, but also in other Southern States and in some instan ces. as noted from admiring friends in the North. The project was first undertaken a little more than three I years. zsx, just after Gen.

Wajscirfgtoii, D. C7 Mav 2?, 1M7. Recently a proposition was made in Ohio to' the friends of Scft4ft Taft tbitt be rhond have the unanimous tn dorsenifct f th?5t State for Pitident, if be wonld eVmnl. that Foraker should be endorsed for fiWWn a Senator. The Secretary of War promptly declared it Ohio wanted to endorw him for freidnt that it tnut be done free of any trade or bsfgain. Then Senator Dick and Forakf'r t 5t onee.declare war against Secretary Taft. But thfc ha been followed by results just the opjosjM i what they expectetl. The GovernVr .-nJ the State ofiicers at once came out ui 5nblic statements for Judge Taft for 'resident without any conditions. On the heel; of that now coraw the iRepublicans of Senator Dick's own rountv and declare for Taft for PVcVl- "dctit . without r?ard to the Senator- iip or Shything else. S it grows plainer each day' tKl Taft wil have 4 walk over in Ohio. ? Enamieg of Administration Shift Position. These development have frighten ed the enemies of the administration and made more active on a new line. They are now trying to get out more favorite son candidate and to have each one to declare that he believe in the President's policies and (haf he is just the right man to carry for ward Roosevelt's creat reform poli cies. .. They- CC that they can no longer "fi;;ht. the President's adminis tration in the open, but that . their only hope is to fool the people and get delegates under false pretenses. This is a dangerous piece of cunning but it will not work. The Amlfievin people can not be fooled this time. Other Jokers Up Their Sleeves. Another scheme in to prevent the delegations from the favorite- son states from being pledged to Taft or fa the PresidenCfpi".aVJseeond choice, so that such states could at the con vention be free to combine on a re actionary candidate, but another scheme is that where they fail to capture a State, to have it send at least an uninstructed delegation. And everybody knows what that would mean. And still another scheme is to lot a State (which can not be otherwise managed) declare for Roosevelt, but declare for no second choice, so that if the President should refuse a second nomination, that the delegates would then be free to flop to a re actionary candidate. When all of these schemes fail, their last trick will be to get upva contesting delega tion with the hope of being able to throw out the regular delegation and seat the contesting delegation. And there s ome reasons to believe that there are in every Southern State some Republicans of more or less prominenece who are into some of the prominence who are into some of these schemes. i Similar Scheme in Bryan's Camp. A number of favorite sons are be ing put forward in the Democratic camp also, but this is being done simply to muddy the waters. The real scheme there is to spring later a dark horse. The Daniel presidential boom in Virginia resembles tbe Culberson boom in Texas and the Gray boom in Delaware. All three booms are merely anti-Bryan demonstrations orgnaized and coddled by Wall street. The Wall street play in to break up Mr. Bryan's support in the South by the use of Southern men, all of a high class and deservedly popular, and then produce a dark horse from some other section, probably from New York state. The capitalists who trotted out Judge Parker three years ago have no serious thought of a South ern man now, and particularly a man of the admirable grade of the men mentioned. No snch man in the Wliite House would play Wall street's game; and Wall street wants no other sort of man there. Neither Mr. Dan iel, Judge Gray nor Mr. Culbersou could be manipulated in the interests of the big trusts and railroad com bines. But if delegates can be secur ed in their names, and the Bryan strength be by that much weakened, it may be possible to control the nat ional convention in a brainstorm in the interests of Wall street's real can didate. Who that man is the Morgans, tbe Ryans and the Belmonts are keeping to themselves. The point now is to try to wean the South away -from Mr. Bryan; and this is to be done, if there is any potency in praiie of fav orite sons laid on with a trowel. So far the gasst is not promising..
