General Grosvenor said In part:
"We meet today upon this sacred
spot to celebrate the heroism of the
American soldier the great results of
battles and the greater victories of
peace. We do not come with swords
of crimination or with memories charg-
ed with bitterness or envy. AVe Join
here as American citizens upon one of
the great battle fields Kjf n great war
to dedicate for all time to the .Ameri-
can people these monuments and this
battlefield. We do this to remind those
of coming generations of the heroic ra-
ces from which they descended; to ex-
hibit to them the enormous cost ot the
Institutions bequeathed to them and
placed In their keeping; and to forever
appeal to those who are to come arter
us that they guard -protect and for-
ever cherish Imperlshably and Immut-
bly. the results of the grent war.
"We do not come with words of crit-
icism or bitterness we of the north
The achievement ol -which we areiproud
est ana well may be .proudest. Is not
that we conquered In war and by phy-
slcal force overthrow the armies of the
confederacy; but that we restored the
ainlon of the states or in more fitting
terms that we prevented the over-
throw of the union of the states; that
we stood In the deadly conflict not to
change our institutions but to save
the union; not to commit revolution
but to save the flag as the representa-
tive of a great union; that we fought
to restore the constitution as the su-
preme law of the land.
"But more proudly yet do we con-
template that fact that these efforts
were not unavailing; that the result
aimed at hns been accomplished and
that the union of the states today Is a
-union of hearts nnd a union ot hands
and a union of states none can sever.
Is there anything greater anything
more charming to the heart of nn Am-
erican patriot that the love of the Am-
erican peoplo for this union this con-
stitution and this power? It Is our
protection against enemies abroad; it
Is our assurance against disturbance
within; it Is the beacon light to other
-nations of the American home the Am
erican fireside. American Institutions
the American union and the American
flag. And we will -protect It at home
and we Will vindicate it abrod; and
In the hour or Its peril. In the hour of
Its danger. If that hour shall come. In
the time that tries the future of this
reat fabric of government. If the hour
.shall come there Will rally to tho flag
of the union there will rally to tho
constitution of the country there will
rally to the institutions whether It
be to protect our territorial Integrity
our dignity as a tuition -or our position
upon great political questions. Interna-
tional in their character there will be
found the men and the descendents of
the men of 1861 who fought to destroy
the union and who fought to uphold It;
the men and the descendents of the
men who at Gettysburg and South
Mountain at Shlloh and at Nashville
and here upon this sacred spot stood
nnd fought and bled-and struggled go-
ing forth as a mighty army with ban-
ners to vindicate to cherish and pro-
tect the flag of the union that we low-

TUB CUOPH. J '('
The hotdry weather during the entire
week has rnpldly matured the late
crops throughout the northern west-
ern and central sections and facilita-
ted the harvesting of lnte broom corn
cane hny and foinge crpps. The crop
of hay harvested Is Immense the Intg-
est thnt hns ever been harvested.
The hot dry weather has been essen-
tially favorable to cotton throughout
the central section the acreage how-
ever Is small.
Ground everywhere throughout these
thiee sections Is to6 diy to plow most
of tho fall plowing howeveVMs com-
pleted. "
Thrnnirhniit Ihf. ppnti-nl nml indtMn
portions of tho eastern section the ex-
cesslve rains destioied much hay In
ioyt
the shock nnd prevents further work In
this line; while an abundance has been
saved nnd housed yet our correspon-
dence states that more has been com-
pletely ruined than w-ae made last year.
Throughout the southern section
the it-ports In regard" to the cotton cioji
nre not encouraging. Pastures urc
drying up fast and stock water get-
ting scarce In places.
The following nte some special re-
ports ns to cotton;
Purcell Very hot nnd dry during en-
tlrt week. Late corn Is much damag-
ed; very little cotton In this section
but what there Is looks fairly well: It
is being rnpldly put upon the market.
-Ardmort. The past week has been a
bot one. Stock suffering for water
ranges dry enough to burn. Cotton
picking in the older of the day; crop
Is light and nbout one good picking will
clean It up.
Eastman Cotton opening premature-
ly under the evcessHe heat and If no
change comes soon the results will be
anything but good noil worms and
i harpshooters In August und drouth In
Heptember een a fair crop cannot be
txpected.
Healdton A hot sultry week too
much so for cotmn picking still It Is go-
ing on slowly but tho Crop Is light.

tion came In Colonel Ross was chair-
man of the committee and hence had
been selected to make rccomtnendntloha
for fourth class ofllces.and In most
cases his recommendation for presl-if-ntlal
ofllccs had been fpllowed Scott
said he thought the principle was
wrong nnd snld 'he conic) see no re.iMon
wny a cnairman or o territorial com-
mittee should be given this power as
ho certainly could not know the situa-
tion In the various localities any better
than others of the party. Mr Scott
suggested that t)ie chairman of tke
county committee Hhouldlie allowed to
name postmasters for the county. While
making this suggestion Judge Scott
took from his pocket a list of the chair-
men of the various county Democratic
committees and imthatU they were
allowed to" select postmasters for Ok-
lahoma theie wouhj be much less fric-
tion and thnt things Democratic In Ok-
lahoma would run much smoother than
nt piesent. The postmaster general
asked about Colonel Ross his fitness as
a man to make lecommendatluns nnd
what sort of a man he Is personally
and the replies of Judge Scott would
certainly look sensational In print.
The point about the whole mutter Is
that Judge Scott and Ross are not on
good terms. Formerly they werp one
helping the other to a Judgeship und
the other assisting the one Into the
land ofllce. Rut things are different
now. Scott accuses Ross of having
had much to do In maklng'trouble for
him. anl uoss uhiiks mcou lias uone
much to get him into dllllculty and at
pretfent each one Is antagonizing the
other. A 5
The chances arc that Scott will bo
able to do some datnage to Ross In the
postofllce department but how ho will
get along In the Interior department
remains to be seen. Ross and the Inte-
rior crowd nre fascinated with the
same color and 'they will not separate.
Judge Scott paid his respects to Sec-
retary Carlisle today by-reason of the
fact that Mr Carlisle nnd Attorney
General Harmon are good frlendJ. iThe
Judge had ashort talk with the secre-
tary and a long talk vflth some of the
Intimate friends of the secretary. Thus
It Is proposed by the Judge to establish
a leadplpe cinch on the attorney gen
eral and thus erect a windbreak for
personal use.
