Quite ' a. number of the delegates, includ; ’ ing Past Com mander in Chiei » . Louis \Vagner, ol Philadelphia, did GENERAL BUTTERFIELD. nos arrive in time for the festivities of yesterday, but there was a full roster in the ball when the twenty-fifth annual session of the national encampment was called to order by Com mander in Chief Veazey. No time was lost in getting down to business. The com mittee on credentials, which had done its Work in advance, made a brief report showing a. full representation and no con tests, and then Commander Veazey 'deliv ered his address.’ He said: Vensr-y’s Address. COMRADEs—This is the silver anniversary or a birth, not of a wedding. The wedding oc. curred when the bridegroom, the youth of the land, enlisted in its defense. Abraham Lincoln celebrated the marriage nuptials. Columbia was the bride. Her vesture was the nation's flag. The pledge to re-estabtish that flag over the domain of secession was the pledge of her hand. When the pledge was grandly redeemed through bloody strife, through suffering and death, and after the victors had placed on the brow of the bride s new diadem, whose gems were honor, valor, fame, liberty untainted with slavery, a country reunited and free, the fruit of that marriage was the Grand Army of the Republic, an offspring worthy of its royal parent. After referring pathetically to the death during the past year of Sherman, Porter, Hamlin, Devins, Tobin and other honored members of the order, the commander in chief continued: The Color Question. The present administration encountered the same disturbances 111 the department of Louisi- ' ana. and Mississippi that had troubled my pre- decessors, From various sources of informa- tion that have been accessible to me ,I believe that a. large majority of both white and colored comrades in the departments of Louisiana and Mississippi are strong in the conviction that it would be for the best interests of all individu- ally and of their posts and of the order to have a. separate department in Louisiana. and some of the other gulf states made up of such posts as may apply to come into it, and having con- current jurisdiction with the department al- ready established in such states—concurrent in respect to the chartering and mustering of posts, but each department having exclusive jurisdiction over the posts which it may re- Ceive. My best judgment, after a year of pains- taking investigation, is that it would be wise to confer upon my successor the authority to create such a department. He may neither find it necessary nor think it best to exercise the power conferred. The Mount McGregor Cottage. I recommended that congress be appealed to to provide for the maintenance of the Mount Mc- Gregor cottage. The G. A. R. has been paying the expense because no one else assumed it. No organization since the war has done so much for the country, especially in laying deep the Soldier has done his full duty as a. citizen unless he has given the order the benefit of his com- radeship in it. Inclosing I desire to renéw the expression of gratitude which I made a year ago for the gr eat 'lion'or you confer red upon me. Having in- tended to wrong no one, and having receiv ed~ no affront from any one, I say to one and all, you, and God bless yOu. At the conclusion of the commander in Chief’s address he was heartily applauded, and the reception of reports was theI-next ' business taken up. .. THE REPORTS SUBDIITTED. The Order Flourishing—There .Are 630,- 000 Pensioners Receiving $116,000,000. Adjutant General J. H. Goulding’s an- nual report for the year ending June 30 shows that there are in the order forty- five departments, with 7, 409 posts and 398,067 comrades in good standing. The sum ex- ended in charities during the year was 33,699, against $217,957 the previous year. There have been 5,530 deaths this year, against 5,479 in 1890. The total apparent membership is 444,307. Suspensions, de- linquencies and transfers bring the num- ber down to 898,607. The adjutant general believes that if de- partments select the best men for adju- tants and quartermasters and adopt longer tenures of Office the order can be greatly strengthened and the membership raised to 600, 000 or 700,000 within five years, as there are over 1, 200, 000 old soldiers now living. , The questiOn of a sinking fund to meet the emergencies of old age, with its dimin- ishin membership and dues, 1s worthy of consi oration. It is recommended that national en— campments be held not earlier' in the year than Aug. 20, to allow more time’for. mak- ing up the national reports after depart- ment reports are received. The aggregate amount expended by the G. A. R. posts for relief has reached the in ormous figure of two and a half millions. he past year has been the most success- ful One in the history of the order' In the ma ter of raising money for maintaining esy arms and homes for soldiers’ orphaDS/ The Number- Of Pensioners. In his annual report Quartermaster General John Taylor gave the receipts for the fiscal year as $39,106; expenditures, $37, 996; balance, 61, 804. The assets of the organization he gave as $21, 711. The posts, he said, as a. generalrule, were prompt in meeting their obligations, and the finan- ‘ cial future of the order was apparently a bright one. B. F. Stevenson, surgeon general, re- ported the number of deaths in the. order, gs far as repo'rtéd during the year, to be ,157, among them being those emii'rent somrades \Villiam Tecumseh Sherman, Admiral David D. Pdrter and Generals Charles Devcns, E. F. Noyes, John W. Fuller and John McNeill. In regard to the penswn list D1 Stevenson readalet- ' was almost impossible to get inside. ter from Commisrsioner Baum giving the number of pencioners now on the roll and the amount paid by the government for pensions during the present fiscal year. Summarized it is: Pensioners on the rolls May 31, 1891: Army invalirls, 415 ,615, widows, 105,759; navy-invalids, 5,439; wid- ows, 233.

Total, 630, 394. To pay these pensioners will cost during the present fiscal year about $116, 000, 000. ' THE WOMEN’S RELIEF courts. 'It Holds. Its Ninth Annual Convention. Pensions For Army Nurses. Over 700 fine looking women, a. large majority having silver- threads in: their hair, were gathered in the church of Our, Father when the ninth national conven- tion of the Women’s Relief corps was called to order by Mrs. Mary Sears, Mc- Henry, of Denison, 1a., the national presi. dent.. In her address of welcome and review she dwelt upon the necessity of' keeping before congress the needs of the army nurses, and deplored the failure year after year of the efforts to extend to’ these deserving womefihe benefits of the pension laws. Congress, she said, should pass a. special. pension law for them, and to that end the record should be completed as soon as possible. So far, 2, 600 names were enrolled out of 18 000 The} speaker made referenée to the rapt that cOuSiderable work was being' done‘ among the colored people and that corps auxiliary to posts of colored veterans had within a year been organized as follows: Twelve in Virginia, four in the Carolinas, three In Florida. three in Loulsana, two, in Tennessee, one each In Georgia, Arkan: sas and Mississippi. National Secr'erary Hannah Plimpton, of Iowa, next procured her report show-' ing a total membership of 77,7 7,9 divided into 2, 022 corps and covering nearly every state and territory. Owing to the dilin- quent reports, which 11' ere a discredit to the order, there had been a loss of 321 corps representing a membership of 12,841 dur— ing the year. The general and relief funds on hand aggregate $160,826. ‘ REUNIONS AND MERRYI‘IAKING. General Butter-field with His 01(1 Bri- gade—A Monster Picnic Held. The survivors of the famous Third light brigade of the First division, Fifth army corps, of the Army of the Potomac, the brigade which had the honor of being or- dere(_l_ to receive the surrender of General Ere-9’s army at Appomattox, held a great big reuniOn with the Sixteenth Michigan volunteers. This was General Butter- field’s brigade, and the noted New YOrk veteran vvas here and participated in the fun. The comrades of the old Eleventh Indi. ans. regiment fraternized in great shape. The survivors of this famous regiment, which was the pride of Wallace, Ransom, Nevins and Coates, the latter being its only surviving colonel, arefew and widely scat- tered, but today’s reunion is about the largest they ever had. The delegates to the annual conventiOn of the , National Association of Naval Veterans filled one of the big rooms in the court house. Thomas L. Johnson pre- sided. The desirability of a. revision of the pension laws in the interest of the naval comrades was the chief question that was considered. _ Something of a novelty in the way of en- trainment for the veterans was provided by the city authorities in the shape of 11 mon- ster picnic at Belle Isle park, which was participated In by over 10,000 comrades and their friends. A bounteous lunch preceded the formal exercises. Mayor Pingree wel- comed the gathering and ex-Senator Thos. W. Palmer, who was made chairman, de- livered one of his characteristic speeches. Err-President Hayes and General Miles also made speeches. " THE. DISPLAY AT . NIGHT; .The Most thgniflceut Pyrotechnic Spec- tacle Ever Witnessed in America. The si'g-ht' 1n and around Detroit Wednes day evening was a most brilliant one. Dense crowds lined the water front to witness the grand naval display. The fbi'ightness was almost- that of day, and Lthe spectacle was gorgeous. ' streamers' 1n profusion decorated the ship. 'ping, "and "monster rockets and Roman Flags 11de Candles were continually discharged from almost every available point. The event of the evening, hOWever, was the beautiful pyrotechnic “Perry’ s,Victory. ” ‘ It was indeed a. bean- tiful sight, and was pronounced to be one of the grandest exhibitions of fireworks ever witnessed in this country. A roar of applause greeted the commencement of the novel naval battle and a. still louder roar proclaimed the unbounded gratifica- tion of the spectators when the light of - the last rocket faded away. A_monster campfire was held in the rink, and the crOwd was So great that it Am other one was held at the exposition build- ing, and even this gigantic structure was taxed to its utmost to accommodate the _vast crowds of vets who flocked to its doors. Even the Central Methodist church ' was pressed into service for the occasion, and a. campfire was held there also. Take it all in all it Was a great day for the Grand Army boys. Crashed Into a. Buggy. EARLVILLE, 1115., Aug. 6.——-A terrible ac- cident occurred near Rollo, on the Chicago and Northwestern ' road.

New York N‘e‘xt Tuesday—The Alliance Strength in Ohio. > SYRACUSE, Aug. 6.-—-The state league of Republican clubs has taken possession of things in this city. The proceedings of the convention are being held in the Grand opera house, which is trimmed with a pro- fusiou of national flags and colors. President McAlpin entered while the band stationed at the rear of the stage was playing the opening seleCtion, and he was enthusiastically cheered. First Vice Pres- ident Clarence Smith received a. similar but less noisy greeting when be mounted to the platterm a. minute Or tWO later. When the music ceased there arose a cry of “Play, play again,” but no attention was paid to the demand. Then somebody was asked, “What’s the matter With Har- rison?” About a'score of voices respond- ed, “He’s all right.” Salem Hyde, president of the Young Men’s Republican club of Syracuse, de- livered the address of welcome, and Presi- dent E. A. McAlpin, of the state league, delivered an address on the part' of the state organization. Not to Name Candidates. When the roll was called it was ordered by vote to call by six clubs instead of by individuals, and 226 clubs responded. Sec- rotary Hedges announced that a. number of other clubs had been reported, but had not been put on the roll. They would be called later, he said, when the roll could be completed. In his address President McAlpin said that it was not the object of the present convention to name candidates nor to make party platforms. “It' 15 the duty of the Republican league,” said he, “to make the Republican platform the political creed of the state.” In speaking of the sources of Republican strength he mentioned the influence of unnecessary defeat. Necessary defeat, he said, was discouraging, but not so with de- feat where it might have been avoided. Letters of regret were read from Charles Foster, ' Secretary Tracy, William M. Evarts, John M. Thurston, Warner Miller, William Rumsey, Alonzo B. Cornell, T. C. Platt, John Patten, Jr., and James R. Hooker. - National Democratic Clubs. ’ NEW YORK, Aug.- 6.—-The time and place for the coming meeting of the executive, committee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs has been named. The meeting will be held at the Hoffman House on Tuesday next. The members of the committee for the state of New York are Congressman Roswell P. Flower, Rob- ert Grier Monroe and Edward B. Whitney. COngressman William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, is the president and 'Lawrence Gardiner the secretary. Other members are Congressman Harry Welles- Rusk of Maryland, Alexander T. Ankeny, of Minnesota, Chauncey F. Black of Pennsylvania, Harvey N. Collinson of. Massachusetts, George H. Lambert of New Jersey, Charles Ogden of Nebraska, and Bradley C. Schley, Of Wisconsin. The club as' a separate, political force, a sort of volunteer force supporting the “regulars,” has come to be recognized as a most potent adjunct in a campaign, and this meeting of the executive committee will discuss the work of the clubs in those states where elections are to be held this fall; how they can be made most useful as apart of the party machinery, and, in short, to formulate a, “plan of campaign.” Reports from the secretaries of state leagues in thirty-six states have been re- ceived by Secretary Gardiner, and these reports will be acted upon. Then, in all probability, the committee will meet in- formally with Chairman Murphy and the Democratic state committee, which is to '- convene on Wednesday, and a joint plan for the“ coming state campaign will be dis- cus The Situation in Ohio. CHICAGO, Aug. 6. —“The Alliance holds the key to the sittmtion in Ohio. If we were sure of the solid vote of the farmer Democrats we would sweep the state, but we don’t know how this element is going to vote, and hence there is an uncertainty about the situation. The Democracy of Ohio' rs united and harmonious as never before, and HamiltOn COunty will give its usual big Democratic majority. ” So said Allen W. Thurman, who is in this city. “Protection will be attacked at every point, and on this we believe we can win. If the Alliance people put up a. full ticket it may change the situation a great deal. The silver question will not cut a great figure, neither will the income tax plank in the platform out a. great figure. The constitution of Ohio will not allow its adoption, but at the next meeting of the legislature an amendment to the constitu- tion that will leave the people free to adopt the income tax idea will be presented. Governor Campbell is enthusiastic and confident of victory. ” To Name Edmunds’ Successor. ST.
