The National tribune., 1883-12-27


colonel, in Spring Grove Cemetery, is the rest
| ing place of the suffering patriot. Sympathiz-
ing comrades closed his eyes, after assuring
him that his family should be cared for. That
the promise has been faithfully kept is attested
! by the records Of the college of music public
| school, and comfortable home in the West.
Other cases Immediately followed this and pre-
yious ones. Then came the food, yet the G.
A. r., in its ardor to do good was not in the
least dampened. 1t goes on compelling soldiers
and sailors to believe and appreciate the true
object of the Grand Army of the Republic and
! its noble auxiliary, the Woman's Relief Corps
! did not intend to 20 into these details, but
thought it best to enlighten those comrades
who give freely financial aid, but do not appre-
ciate the great value their presence at Post
meetings would be 10 ALL
POST ELECTION.
The excitement consequent on the Post cleo
/ lions has not cooled down yet; the delegates
are at skies and sevens about the candidates for
| Department Commander. Among the candi-
| dates in this corner we find Commander Phillip
/ W Stanhope gallant soldier of long service,
retired through wounds, and most efficient
Post Commander. He was selected by the
| unanimous voice of his Post, but not being
| consecutiye-teTm man, Immediately declined,
and moved the unanimous vote of the Post in
| favor of his opponent for commandership.
/ Comrade Stanhope goes before the Encamp-
ment unanimously Endorsed by w. 81. Lyle
Post as an efficient Post Commander, who not
only shed his blood at Gaines Mill, Va, but
I has for years devoted his time and means TO
the advancement of our cause. The Post rec
| ords show that Commander Stanhope has per-
| sonally visited every sick comrade reported,
has attended every burial has recruited more
than one-half OF the two hundred recruits
mustered under his administration; that he
has, by his executive ability, increased the
funds of the Post from couple of hundred
dollars to an amount that draft for 81, GOO
would not affect the treasury, and he he's never
missed a single meeting. He is q jovial COM
panion, upright and temperate in all his habits
The candidate Endorsed by g. IL. Thomas
Post, No -, Department Of Ohio, is Comrade
II. p Lloyd, Of that Post, Judge Advocate of
this Department He is an accomplished gen
tleman and soldier His interest in Grand
Army affairs is proven by his staff position.
Another candidate is Commander G. A. Saut-
myer, of Robert McCook Post, of Carthage,
Ohio, this comfy, and Inspector General of the
Order. Comrade Sautmyer is too well known
for me TO attempt his praise, but the comrades
hereabouts think his present position ought TO
satisfy him. However, he is worthy candi-
date.
The last mentioned, and only as possible
candidate is Comrade A. NJ. Warner, Of Thomas
Post, soldier of the Potomac, eomrade whose
desire is that Of every earnest member of the
