[Sauk Rapids Sentinel

The politicians throughout the State
are now busy in bringing out gubernato-
rial timber, and the air is full of rumors
of alleged trades and bargains. Among
those mentioned for the position are Gen.
L. F. Hubbard, of Red Wing; Hon. T. B.
Clement, Hon. j. V. Daniels, Hon. A. R.
McGill, now insurance commissioner,
Hon. D. Morrison, Iof Minneapolis. This
portion of the country yet remains un-
ruffled by political excitement, the people
for the present preferring to attend to
their daily avocations, leaving the agita-
ton of political questions until later
period, and the question is therefore not
generally discussed

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The following is
Commissioner Bentley's letter of resignation.
Department of the Interior, Pension Office,
Washington, D. c., 1SS1.-To the President
Dear Sir: In compliance with the desire in
timated by you at our interview yesterday that
l vacate the office of commissioner of pensions
in order you may be able to appoint another
person to the place, have the honor to tender
my resignation. In surrendering to your
hands the important trust to which was COM
missioned by Ex-President Grant at the
commencement of the last year of his
term, and administered through four
succeeding years under Ex-President
Hayes, point with satisfaction to the records
of this office and of the department of the in-
terror, as showing the increase of work per-
formed since have been in the office, an aver
age improvement and economy in management
of affairs of the bureau of more than 25 per
cent, and of the total for salaries and expen-
ses of more than five hundred thousand dol
lars, to which may properly be added the ad-
ditional sum of SS00000 and upwards, effect
ed by consolidation of agencies, Where
improvement in the service has been equal
to that in this Office, these
records, when supplemented by the records of
Congress reported to the House of Represen-
tatlyes March 8, 1881, by the select committee
on pensions, bounty and back pay, also estab-
lish beyond successful contradiction that
every allegation and pretense which has yet
ventured into publicity derogatory to me-,
personally to me, or to my management of
office, or rejecting in any degree upon the
manner In which I have executed pension
laws, have been utterly false and without a
shadow of foundation upon which to rest.
| make reference 10 these records in no
boastful spirit, and with no view of self-de-
fense or exculpation, but i'll simple obedience
to my duty as subordinate, to place at your
command such essential and vital facts as
you may have occasion in the future to con-
suit, and that my silence in regard to them
may not, hereafter, be taken advantage of and
misinterpreted as an admission to tire contra
ry by persons interested in having the contrary
believed.
Thanking you, and wishing your I'd.
ministratlon the complete success which the
country expect at your hand, 1 am very respect
fully yours, (Slgned) ia. BENTLEY.
Iti learned,the Presidents request for Com.
missioner Bentley's resignation was not in
tended as a reflection upon his per-
sonal or official integrity, but
was based upon complaints which
have been strenuously urged in many quarters
against his past management of the pension
service, and his we'll known schemes for its
reorganization. 1t IS understood the President
accompanied his acceptance of Commissioner
Bentley's resignation with an offer of a foreign
appointment, which Bentley declined.

Reunion of Soldiers and Sailors.

CINCINNATI, June 16.-Very widespread in
terest has been awakened in the proposed re-
union of officers and soldiers of the late war
to lie held in this city on September ID, Is and
49, Arrangements will also be made for mem
bers OF the navy of that war. The idea is
to have a general programme for each after
noon and night, including a grand parade,
and to set apart for reunions of regiments,
brigades, etc. For these convenient quarters
will be furnished free of cost, and it is thought
that with low rates of fare given by the rail-
roads many of the organizations will come
here to hold their reunions. The work of
preparation is in the hands of a committee
appointed by the local organization of ex-
soldiers and sailors.

More Guessing.

Charley Gilman, Of St. Cloud, seems to
be pretty popular where he is best known
and if the Pioneer Press would only come
out and violently oppose him, his chances
would be about equal to the best. T. B.
Clement, o. P. Stearns and various
others are spoken of favorably in their
own localities, but the contest is likely to
narrow down to Hubbard, McGill and
Gilman, with the chances in favor of
