4 execution of the same, nor yet in presenting ‘ an argument upon the merits or demerits of any public question, has Governor Boies ever striven in the least degree to create a sensa- tion. To his everlasting honor, it must be said that in the doing ot these things he has never fajled to make a deep impression. This is the ideal test by which the capacity of a public - man should be judged; this is the high standard by which tesman’s reliability and usefulness should be ascertained and deter- mined. If you select Governor Boies as your candidate and the people ratify your decision in November, we can promise you no pyro- technic display from the White House during his administration; there will be no r_ockets sent up, the explosion of which will frighten the timorous or furnish a subject for foolish talk for the superficial; there will be no sensa- tional performances upon the politicsl trapeze | at the executive mansion while Horace | Boies is its occupant; he will write you no startling message upon excitable public topics; we promise you none of these perform- ances; but I tell you what we can and do promise you, and that is the inauguration and faithful execution of a policy that will com- mend itself to every philosophic mind and be applauded by every sincere patriot; a policy that will be characterized throughout by the invigorating force of hard common-sense and be all aglow with the everlasting sunshine of noble intentions; a policy the primary object of which will be, not the creation of oppor- tunities for the unnatural increase of the al- ready excessive fortunes of &n avaricious class, but the strict maintenance of the natural and constitutional rights of every citizen care- fully, including that great body of our popula- | tion, the laboring classes—the people who vroduce our National wealth, who never tire | of their aevotion to the constitution, who | never desert their country’s cause at any stage | of any peril, who are always true and steadfast even in the very midst of an overwhelming | erisls, who furnish the volunteer soldier and | sailor in time of war and earn the wherewith | to pay the cost of war when it s over; the peo- | ple who are the very mainstay of free govern- | ment—to secure to these & larger share of the | fruits of their labor, to secure to them im-| partial justice, will be one of the cardinal | prineiples fully developed in the policy of the Boies administration. . To secure to him who earns a dollar the dol- lar he earns is & task that will be vigorously exacted of the statesmanship of the future. That type of statesmanship which so persist- ently ana successfully plotted to pilfer from the industrious that the idle may thrive will be given its death-blow next November if you men here are wise in your councils and provide the opportunity for the people to strike the biow. Horace Boles was born in New York State | and eame to Iowa in his early manhood. He came not as an adventurer, but with the fixed purpose of building up a permanent home, which he did at the town of Waterloo. While he thus voluntarily and resolutely incurred all the inconveniences of a practicaily frontier | life, the result is that in his maturer years the | people of his State have loaded him down with { the richest honors and rewards itisin Lheirl power to bestow, and he is to-day an insep- arable and the most conspicuous part of the phenomenal history of our State. Let me beg of this convention the privilege to give you just | one glimpse of Iowa history. As 10 the ques- tion of lowa being a great State, concerning the capacity of her soil to produce uniformly | abundant crops, I will not deal. It is enough to say that the diploma awarded to Iowa by the management of the Columbian Exposition | is the official declaration which secures to us | what hed been before conceded by all, viz.: | the crowning glory of a standing at the hesd | of the long column of the agricultural States | Neither drouth nor flood bave | ever been powerful enough in Iowa to consti- tute what in other localitiesis a natural calam- | ity. Ihave raised fifty bushels of solid corn | per acre, upon which not one drop of rain fell {from the time it came up until the ear was fully grown. There is perhaps not another spot in this wide world where such a | thing is possible. But while - we are | easily supreme in the cornfield, Iowa | Democrets have had a hard row to hoe | in politics. The torments infticted by the | seven plagues of Egypt must have been a solid | chunk of comtort compared to the treatment | accorded lowa Democrats by the sixty, seventy | and eighty thousand uninterrupted Republi- | can msjority which for more than a genera- tion delighted in making an annualpicnic out | of election day, and just for the fun of the | thing trampled the lowa Democracy bodily | into the earth. This huge army of Republican | voters was dominated by the spirit of an inex- plicable fansaticism, and the more we combat- ed this epirit the fiercer it grew. Naturally | Democrats became disheartened and scarce. ‘When this Republican recklessness was near- ing the culminating point, when through | sumptuary legisiation every fundamental guarantee of personal liberty was endangered, | when acts which throughout the civilized world sre regarded as natural and treated as | lawful were in our State defined as crimes and | compared to capitel offenses, when the consti- tutional protection of trial by jury, which for centuries has been esteemed as the very oli- max of all the glory of our Anglo-Saxon civ- | ilization,when this was about to be eliminated from our judicial system and the method of cold, barbarous Russia was to be substituted, in fact, when the whole machinery of local self-government, the greatest of all the Demo- | cratic principles, the principle of home rule, | ‘was about to be swept out of existence; when every lover of freedom was on the point of de- spairing, when there was no Democratic leader anywhere in sight wise and bold enough to face the crisis, there | was heard the voice of one as speaking in the wilderness; it was the magic voice of Horace Boies summoning disneartened men to heroie action. He itwas who leaped boldly to the very front and alone defied the seemingly irre- sistible power of an exultant foe, & foe that had never been chastened by defeat. Heac- complished what all men united in declaring the impossible, for in the two contests which followed, which in many respects have no parallel in the history of American politics, Horace Boles came off victor, and thus did he forever avert the danger of having a veritable despotism planted upon the fruitfui soil of a free State. A soldier can show his courage only in battle; a sailor his fearlessness only while a storm is raging: the firemen in your great city can only exhibit that sublime type of heroism which we ali 80 much admire dur- ing the time of an actual conflagration, when property is to be saved and imperiled lives are to be rescued; so a statesman can only show his real capacity, can only demonstrate the full measure of his wisdom and power during & erisis. Itisonly during an actual crisis that she higher qualities of statesmanship can be developed and tested. That Horace Boies pos- sesses this rarest of all human cepacities—the power to rise equal and superior to a crisisand control it—is attested by this history of our State and concurrent testimony of political friend and foe. This 1s the man who stands before the American people, equipped with these supreme qualifications, that we ask this eonvention to nominate. Upon the overshadowing issne of this cam- paign Governor Boies stands upon.an invul- nerabie platform—the constitution of his coun- try—inasmuch as the constitution, in defining what the States shall use as “‘legal tender in payment of debts,” designates not gold or silver, but gold and silver. Governor Boies Delieves that the bimetallic system thus pro vided for in the fandamental law of the land $s the system the Democratic party must in- dorse and uphold. He believes that so long as the constitution remeins unchanged Con- £ress has no power to demonetize either metal, Hence, in common with the great mass of the American people, he believes the demonetiza- tlon of silver was not an ordinary political blurder but an actual crime, and he can con- ceive of no condition which can possibly arise that will justify the Democratic party in justi- fying that crime or in helping to perpetuste its direful resuits. Governor Boies does not believe in a dis- honest 50-cent dollar, as it would work an in- Jjury to the creditor class, neither does he be- 1jeve in a 200-ceat dollar, which is still more dishonest, as it unquestionably involves the pankrupt debtor class. Governor Boies be- leves in an honest American dollar author- ized not by th British Parlisment but by a | law of the American Congress and coined for use among the American people. He believes inagold dollar of 22.2 grain of gold and a | silver dollar justsixteen times heavier. ernor Boles believes it would be not merely 8 pitiable cowardice on our part, but actual treason to the people, should be now capitulate to English greed. The finger of akind fate points to the elec- tion of Horace Boies. History seems to be anxious to repeat itself. Give usthe man from Waterloo and allies will flock to his standard which will destroy Mark Hanna's Napoleon No. 2 as effectually e European allies de- stroyed the French Napoleon No. 1. A Boies demonstration was started by the Iowa delegation, but no progress was made until two young women- dressed in white in the south gallery stood upand, wildly waving their arms, began shrieking for Iowa’s Governor. Somebody handed one of them a couple of flags, and by this time the attention of the whole convention was directed toward them and everybody faced that way. The Boies banner was handed to them and between them they managed to wave it a few times and then sank back in their seats exhausted. After a brief rest one of them rose again and was escorted to the floor, everybody standing on chairs to see the sight and cheering and lauching as the enthusiastic lady, escorted by some male friend with his arm around. ber waist, danced all around the hall. The name of the author of this extraordinary demonstration was stated to be Miss Min- nie Murray of Nashua, Iowa. She in- formed a reporter of the United Press that she was only 22 years old. It was fifteen minutes after 11 .o’clock when this scene collapsed and the fair Iowan and her escort settled down in seats tendered them among the Jowa delegation. The extraordinary episode occupied nearly half an hour. As soon as some slight degree of order was re-established the nomination of Mr. Boies was seconded by Mr. A. T. Smith of Minnesota, who ocharacterized the candi- date as “the grand old commoner of the Hawkeye State.” If it had not been for Horace Boies, said Mr. Smith, there would be no silver majority in the convention to- day. Michigan had just been carried for the gold standard, when, all at once, Horace Boies threw down the gage of battle to the Federal officeholders, and the result was that the prairies were on fire and that thirty-six delegates were elected to the convention to vote for free silver and Horace Boies. That was the crucial point of the battle. The cause of silver ‘was then won. Hon. John 8. Rea, with a voice almest as resonant and very closely resembling that of the Senator he nominated, placed in nomination the nanie of Senator Joseph C. 8. Blackburn of Kentucky. He pre- faced his remarks with the pledge that whoever was nominated Kentucky would give him her vote. He spoke of his can- didate as ‘Joe” Blackburn, because to Kentuckians he was ‘“Joe” Biackburn, and thac meant everything. [Cheers.] It was true that he was from the South and had been a Confederate soldier, but his candidacy was not a sectional one. [Cheers.] The candidacy of Blackburn appealed to the whole Union of States, and if nomi- nated and elected he would be no sectional President. His whole public career, cov- ering a third of a century, had been a life- long expression of his sympathywith labor. He had shown himseli the peer of the ablest men in Congress. His voice had been heard in forty-five States in advocacy of Democratic principles. He was modest, yet not wanting in that finer ambition which made men pure; his honor impreg- nable and his simplicity sublime. He aaded that if it were the will of this con- vention that Mr. Blackburn should remain in his present field of service his voice wouid be raised in behalf of any other can- didate that may be name: ‘W. W. Foote of Californ: n seconding the nomination of Mr. Blackburn, added to the recent incident by’ saying that his candidate was not being ““paraded round here by any Joan of Ark.” This was greeted with lsughter. He briefly but forcibly eulogized Mr. Blackburn’s char- acler and services, and his remarks were well received. When Massachusetts was called the chairman of the delegation said Massa- chusetts had intended to present the name of Governor Russell, but Mr. Rus- sell declined to run on the platform adopted. Paul Jones of Arkansas also seconded the nomination of Mr. Bland, who, he sald, was no new convert to or experiment in Democracy. He had fought the battles of the party for twenty-two years, under the terrible blaze of a political search- light, and no spot had been found upon his escutcheon; no flaw in his armor. He was the logical candidate on the great issue that now confronts the American people and which issue would be settled in November. The call of Btates being resumed, New Jersey declared through her chairman, Allen McDermott, that she desired to name no candidate on the platform of the convention. New York, through Senator Hill, said she had no candidate, and cries of “Hill!"” were raised. Mr. Patrick of Ohio, when {he name of his State was called, put in nomination John R. McLean of Cincinnati and said: “I shall pass no extravagant eulogy on the man. His whole life epeaks for itself. He is honest; he is capable; he is a Demo- crat. He is the son of a sire who did more to- mold the Democracy of Ohio into triumph than any man in the State. I have heard eulogies on the favorite sons named here to-night. Some of them might carry Ohio against Willjam Mec- Kinley, but, by the eternal God, John R. McLean will carry Ohio against Willlam McKiuley. (Cheers.) If you nominate John R. McLean I promise you that Ohio will be the Waterloo of McKinley. From the very 'beginning of this great war of the millionaires against the milions; of the classes against the masses, John R. McLean's thought and soul has been with the people. He was the bravest soldier, the noblest pioneer, in the cause of free silver when that cause had few friends, His great journal, filled with arguments in favor of the people, was scattered every day in the year, falling as silently as snow- flakes into the laps of the people of twenty States, and that great organ did more to educate the people and to develop the growth of bimetallism and free silver than any one influence west of the Allegheny Mouutains. Delegates, we hand over the claim of John R. McLean into your hands and into your hearts, relying on thein. tegrity and gratitude of the great Demo- cratic masses.” [Cheers.] Chairman Harrity of Pennsylvania,when his State was called, said Pennsylvania had no candidate at this time, but when the roll of States was called for the pur- pose of ascertaining their preferences for candidates Pennsylvania would express her wishes on the subject. John H. Bankead of Alabama, one of the delegates who had relieved Congress- man Richardson as temporary chairman, introduced the next speaker, Hon. Joseph W. Bailey of Texas. Mr. Bailey was warmly applauded on taking the stand. He said: Y Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conven- tion: For the first time since the close of our un- Haviug rebelled agaiust British insolence | happy Civil War a large majority of those who over & century ago, winning the fight when & °| vote in the coming Presidential contest-will mere weakling, having now developed into | be governed in the casting of their ballots by the strongest people-on earth, clearly entitifug | their convictions upon & great economie ques- u® 1 the Seedership among the nations, Gov- | tion. This convention has already adopted s THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1896. platform which ennounces with admirable force and clearness the position of the Demo- cratic party upon that question, and it is our duty now te complete our work by nominating aman whose words and deeds are better than awritten pleage that he will faithfully per. form the promise which our platiorm makes. ‘Who shall this man be? If T should ssk this audience or if I should ask any audience assembled on the American continent and under the American flag what Democrat among the many splendid leaders of our party best represents the issue which we have made and which must be decided at the polls on the 3d of next November you and every other audience would answer with the name of Richard Bland, and, gentlemen of the convention, he not only typifies the paramount issue In the coming election, but he has been & fearless and consistent advocate of all of those immortal principles of Democracy which our fathers cherished and defended. Those who doubt the wisdom of his nomination some- times venture to express the fear that heis not great enough to be our President. To them Isay: Inspect his record. For twenty- two years he sat in the Federal House of Rep- resentatives, end during. that time he voted right as often and he voted wrong as seldom as any man who ever occupied a similar station for an equal length of time. No ordinary man can safely pass this ex- treme and crucial test, and the intelligent voters of this land are willing to believe any man who is wise enough slways to be rightis wise enough to be the Chief Maglstrate of this Republie. And still better than his unerring common- sense is his unylelding honesty. In his person he unites the highest qualities of an ideal can- didate. He is so patriotic thet he has always put the love of country above the love of self, and second only to the fearof God. Heis so honest that no tainted dollar ever touched his hands; he is so brave that a legion of his coun- try's enemies could not drive him to betray & trust, and his nomination will proclaim to the millions who are proud to own their alleziance to Democracy that the public good is again to be exalted above private greed. . The nomination of Mr. Bland would reassure the doubters, recall the Democratic wanderers and inspire the masses with hopeful courage. Nominate him, and in every home, whether palace or cabin, it will be told how a great and successiul party has crowned with highest honor a private citizen because he has been true to his own consciencs aud loyal to the best interests of his countrymen. But gentle- men of the convention, whether your choice will be Bland or Boies, Matthews or McLean, or Kentucky's gifted son, the imperial com- monwealth of Texas, with her more than 100,000 majority, will take her place at the head of the victorious Democratic column. Hon. Joseph Rawlins of Utah briefly seconded the nomination of Bland. Virginia being called in the roll of States, the chairman stated that they had been instructed to present the name of Hon. John W, Daniel, but at his earnest request and insistence did not do so. The nomination of Mr. Blackburn was also seconded by J. W. 8t. Clair, who said that though they loved Bland and revered Boies and honored McLean and Matthews, Blackburn was grander than them all. [Cheers.] Blackburn had carried Ken- tucky, Cleveland and Carlisle to the con- trary notwithstanding. Blackburn had been a Confederate soldier, but the people of the South had paid their share of Fed- eral taxes and helped to pay the pensions of Union soldiers. “‘Let that issue, therefore,” he said, ‘‘be buried, and give us a Southern candidate once more.” When the State of Wisconsin was called, General Braeg, the picturesque old hero, chairman of the delegation, rising on a chair in his place, <aid: “‘Wisconsin can- not participate in the nomination of any man calling himself a Democrat upon a Populist platform.” [Cheers mingled with hisses.] One of the delegates from the Btate fol- lowed, saying that on #he part of some of the delegates from Wisconsin he desired to second tue nomination of Joseph Black- burn of Kentucky. l E. J. Dockery of Wisconsin then took his place on the piaiform and said: “My vote is stifled in this convention by an un-Democratic unit rule, and I am, therefore, prevented from having it re- corded in favor of that idol of the conven- tion, William J. Bryan of Nebraska, who ought to be nominated; bus I desire to say, gentlemen of the convention, that the people of the State will give its electoral vote to the nominee of this convention, whoever he may be, at the election in November. [Cheers.] That candidate will not receive the votes of the men who are in this convention claiming to represent the Democracy of Wisconsin, but the people will register their will at the ballot-box."” Amid much confusion General Bragg again arose and claimed the attention of the convention to say: “With your kind permission we will send out and make search for another straggler, and if we are successful, Wisconsin may yet pledge its support to another candidate.”” [Laughter and hisses.] At the close of the call of the roli of States, the convention at 12:35 A. M., ad- journed until 10 A. a., when balloting will be begun. e R WEAKENED BY DELAY. Had the Balloting Begun Last Night Bryan Would Have Been Nominated. CHICAGO, Iin, July 9.—After the speech of William J. Bryan, which termi- nated in an ovation to the young orator, it was conceded that had it been at a time in the proceedings when he could have been nominated he would have received the Presidential billet by avclamation, but after the adjournment the general ardor cooled a little. 3 It had been arranged that George Fred Williams, the lone gold delegate of Mas- sachusetts, was to nominate Bryan. Bryan’sspeech had been bulletined all over the South, and there came telegram after telegram from different Southern States to their delegations to for Bryan. Georgia, which had been hitherto unde- cided, was one of many unanimous for him, ‘When he was at the evening session brought out as a decided candidate, how- ever, other friends of Bryan in tne West felt that his chances were possibly weak- ened. He ought to have remained, they thought, in the background, doing as Gar- field did, till at the last when it wi believed the convention would break for him. This was the opinfon of many of the California delegation who were friendly to him, and are yet, and who, if Senator ‘White is not brought in, will gladly vote for Bryan. Senator White did not preside to-day, but calied & substitute to his place and re- mained in the background. The eyes were White, Church, Leake, Wise, Metzger, Fitzgerald and Dr. Egan. The noes were Foote, Coleman, Dozier, Lane, Caminetti and Burke. The five who did not vote, being absent, were Maguire, Dwyer, Trippett and Darmony. It is given out qnietly to-night that when it comes to voting on the aifferent nomi- nees, New York, Massachusetts, New Jer- sey, Lonnecticut, Deleware, Rhode Island end Pennsylvania will refuse utterly to vote.

Thatis what Camp Montgomery was guessing at sunset, the time appointed by to-day’s a prisoner coming into court armed an more than to order him stripped of h& arms. The formal charge against Private Long ‘was attempt to murder, with malice in his heart. Long, while on picket duty, stabbed the cook while he lay asleep with his head outside histent, thinking he was a fugitive trying to escape from the lines. he woundea Mattison was fixea up for appearance as a witness. He was ban- daged, and was carried in on & stretcher by the hospital corps. ‘When asked if he obf'wted to any mem- ber of the court-martial, Long objected to Lisutenant Drady, *“Why,” he was asked. “Weil, just this morning he said he would hang me,” replied Long, earnestly. Whereat there were shrieks of laughter. After deliberation, ana hearing a state- ment from Drady that the remark was made in jest and not in earnest, the lieu- tenant was retained on the court. Cook Mattison, who had been groaning horribly, was lifted from the stretcher and laid carefully on the table in the midst of the members of the court. Here Private Long stated that McKinley had offered to defend him the evening tefore if he would buy him a dish of icecream. Then Father O’Ryan, counsel for, Long, shrieked bribery, but the ears of the court were deaf. The commotion in the presence of a man who was stated to be on the verge of gasp- ing his last became so urseemly that an orderly brought President Drady a tent- stake maul with a head on it as large as a watermelon and a handle four feet long, with which to pound on the table and preserve order, In feeble tones Cook Mattison told the story of the alleged murderous assault on him while helay aslecp. Thedoctor stood by with one hand on the prostrate cook’s pulse while the assistant changed the cluth on his forehead and placed a bottie of tonic to nis lips. At the conctusion of the testimony the cook went into a/vio- lent fit, and it required six men to prevent him from squirming off the table. The cook muttered that he was in a trance. Long objected to the cook’s “‘acting.’” The Kitchen at Camp Montgomery Where the Army Fare of the League of the Cross Cadets Is irepared. = court-martial for his execution. Willie is wandering. He seems to have taken the sentence of the court much more to heart than was the intention or even the sus- picion of those who participated in the mock trial or even of his closest friends, or else he deliberately decided fo steala march on the court-martial, When last seen Private William Long was makiug tracks down the hot and dusty wagon road toward Sonoma at about 5:40 o’clock. He was permitted the freedom of the campground all day, and in the afternoon went down to the swim-. ming hole in the creek. Hugh Long, one of Willie's brothers, came up on the evening train, which gets here about 7:30 o'clock, to help him. Hugh says he got the impression that ‘Willie was in jail up here for something or other and he came up to see what he could do to help him out. . The court-martial called to try Private Long for stabbing Cook Al Mattison on the left eyebrow with a saber while Mattison lay asleep in his tent on the night of July 7, was called to order at 9:30 o'clock this morning in the shade of a wide-spreading oak tree. It was a burlesque, and the funniest thing that has yet taken place in this camp of many bhumorous incidents. ‘When Private Long was notified that the court-martial was about to be held and to appear, he wanted to know if he The prisoner was ordered removed from the court for this, and Mattison was soon borne out of sight on the stretcher. ‘‘Hold up!” exciaimed Father Ryan, “I want to cross-examine that men.” “He's in a trance,” said Dr. Mulligan. Fatber O’'Ryan—Then 1 want this court vostpon:d till he is able to be crose-ex- amined. ‘‘Objection overruled,” shouted the president, bringing the big maul down on the table with a terrible whack. “This court is packed and gerryman- dered against this prisoner,” vehementl remonstrated the prisoner’s counsel. *‘It is a terrible thing to send & man into the presence of his Master. Think what you are doing. This is a foul conspiracy.” For this Father O’Ryan was ordered court-martialed himself, with the alterna- tive of buying icecream for the entire camp. At another time Father O'Ryan wa: fined $5 for insisting on an objection which the president and the maul had over- ruled. Anything that the prisoner’s coun- sel wanted to get before the court the presi- dent overruled. . Many witnesses were examined. Counsel made the closing statement, and it required the court only as much time as it does to write it to find “Little Willie” *‘guilty as charged.” The sentence was that he be shot by the cannon at sunset. The prisoner, with bowed head, was then led slowly away toward the guardhouse. The judge advocate added that, in order to make sure he is shot, he should be tied behind the cannon.

GUERNEVILLE, Car., July 9.—Nest- ling between the romantic hills of old Sonoma County, Guerneyilie is an ideal retreat for those who séek quiet and rest and relief from the turmoil of city life. Russian River ripples and splashes by, its busy song an inspiration to relieve the mind of thoughts of tropical weather; for Old Sol occasionally displays his regard for Guerneville by beaming upon the town with unusual warmth, Guerneville has burned down several times—wiped itself clean out of existence. ‘‘Jest ketchea afire itself,”’ said an old lumberman; but each time the town resur- rected its-1f from the as the City newspaper correspondents ;lterwnd geucribed the erection of new jouses. tha_deer canyon which the river ditched for itsel fin some remote rainy era, there is delicious comfort. The great wooden sheafs catch the sun rays in their foliage and hold it there, while the cool shadows softly fall below. There is no prettier 8pot on earth than the green bank of Rus- sian River under the red wood trees. In one of the grandest of these dark nooks of forest, about four miles down the river from Guerneviile, is camved the Second Regi- ment of the Boys' Brigade, under com- mand of Colonel E. J.

It is amusing to see a sentry about three feet high hotd up a big lumberman with his small rifle and make the visitor salute the regimenial colors as he goes by. In the fine grove it is like pitching the tents in an arbor, and the effect of, the Rreat trees standing among white canvas is indeed pleasing. Tne boys have the beautiful river a short distance away for a batlitub, and squads can be seen swim- ming every hour.of the day. | The regiment has hardly got down to | camp life vet; the noveity of being in the woods overcomes their military stiffness and they are inclined to be more boys than | soidiers. Last night Company C tried to run the guard line for a starlight swim in the river. They got lost in the darkness | and eventually landed in the guard tent. | _ What troubles the little sentries most during the dark lonely hours is the bark ings of the coyotes inthe forest, and when the yelping pack gets to howling near a st the brave young soldier retreats to is tent and covers up in his bedquilt. The camp mascot, the colonel’s dog, how- ever, is a bold waichman and barks defi- ance to his second cousins, the coyotes, when they come too near. New California Postmasters. WASHINGTON, D.
