Fifteen thousand peo- plo saw probably. the most consistent racer | in America rotrieve his lost laurels by easily defeating his former conqueror, fleet Marion C. The race was for a special purse of 5,000, and it was generally couceded by those who saw that great son of Spendthrift gallop away from Van Buren on Monday last that, barring accidents, he would prove the winner of today's contest, and the real battle was looked for botween Marion C. and Verge Q'O for place honors. The black colt ran eroat race for a mile, but Marion C., under a liberal dose of whip and spur, drew away uear the finish and secured the verdict by a length and a half. Tho day was & perfect ono for racing and the track wns fast and smooth. Thero was but little excitement until the special race was called, when n genoral rush was mado for the betting ring.

Cap- wain Henry first spoke, then Go ernor Thayer, chairman of the mecting, in a short, oxpressive spoech introduced the distinguished visitor. General Alger was grected with cheers, He said that he bad come to this state at the request of Senator Manderson and had travelod 1,500 miles for the privilege of look- ing them in the face, taking their hands and saying, “'How do you do?’ Nobraska was a great state. Its fields and farms ana crops were most wonderful. He dian't believe the world could produce its equal. If even a paradise were created for the farmer it must be Nebraska. [Cheers.| 1f the Garden of Edon bad been located here the devil couldn’t have taken bold of it, and Old Mother Eve would still be as good as she had been originally. Speaking of the achievements of tho army, ne said it had put down the greatest rebellion in the world. He had been told by some pe plo they had been paid for their services, and thoy were ruining the governwent by the great pension rale. But he would ask those people what they would have today if 1t bad not been for the army. If ever there was a contract implied or written it was that with the sovernment to the effect that if the man who had put down the revellion needed help ho should get it. The oitizens of Nebraska were making an excellent record. They had sufferad the pri- vations of pioncer lite. They had nad short crops, and drouth, and too much rain; but thank God, they had abundance now, and it was an abundance which the country needed, and for itwould pay the farmers. They were on the high road to prosperity. But ho wanted to caution them, that the next thing they did, after guarding their home, was to guard’ their credit. They should keep every contract, whether it was written or verbal. When he went into business the first thine he did was to convince those he dealt with that his word was as good as his bond, and his bond was as good as gold. Con- tinuing on this strain General Alger said : Wihen I heard people suy that you contem- plated :epudintion, I wanted you to rise with one effort_and say with one accord that does 1ot voice Nebrasia. We heard thut you p posed to repudinte your agrecments, but 1 not believe it. I helieve itls the duty of ever: nian Who Works to carry out s agreenments, but Ihave talked with you since 1 huve beer here and Thave learnod that it is ouly u liv clrculated to Injure you and your state There was somethin& more sacred than hife, and that was 10 keen up the reputation they had made in the avmy. They hud a heritage to leave to their children in the button of the Grand Army of the Republic, which was far more precious thun the weaith of a Gould or a Vanderbilt 11 he had to choose between one and the other he would select the Graud Army of the Kec- public button. The speaker paid a tribute to wives and mothers of the soldiers, saying it was they who had saved the country, aud among the monuments which should be erected was one to them, who were really the heroines of tho war. In this state they had an organization which they should always cherish, the Sons of Veterans. (Cries of “Iight.”| The old soldiers wera boing placed in the grave at the rate of 10,000 every year. How could they perpetuato thelr momories savo through their sous and daughters, Lot us encourago thit orzanization cull them eloser to us, because they are our boys.
