Monday.It would be unfair to the real leader of the Third Nebraska, the gallant General Victor Vifquain, a soldier from head to heel, not to briefly speak of hisconnection with the regiment. Victor Vifquain is a democrat. He came from the French army to America, served under Grant, came out with a siar on his shoulder and always took an active part in democratic politics. He early offered his services to Governor Holcomb, and was made lieutenant co one! of the Bryan regiment. It was due solely to his military skill and ability that Colonel Bryan headed such an admirable organization as he did. When Bryan resigned the real leader and commander of the Third Nebraska was made its colonel. He took it to Cuba, served with credit to himself and his state and brought h s men home in £00 i shape. He added insult to injury just befor^ being mustered out. At the time when Colonel Bryan was most active y advocating the cause of Aguinaldo, and advising the volunteers in Luzon to lay down their arms, Colonel Vifquain offered the services of the Third Nebraska to relieve the First Nebraska, then at the front. * ^ VCompare for a moment Colonel Bryan's record with the Third Nebraska and Colonel Vifquain’s. And Coionel Vifquain doesn’t like a republican any better than does Colonel Bryan.
