George 81. Legate post G. A. R.,
of this city, was well represented at
the soldiers reunion in Darlington
last week. Although but recently
organized, the post has a member
ship of fity-seven; and forty-four
Of these veterans took part in the
Darlington reunion and acquitted
themselves in a very creditable
manner in the drill exercise and
other doings. The members are all
handsomely uniformed and present
a fine military appearance. The
gallant forty-four who attended the
reunion are unanimous in pronounc-
ing it great success. The only
regret which they express is that
they were compelled to leave their
thirteen disabled comrades at home.
They are determined that the
members of the Post shall all attend
the reunion next year, even if it
should be found necessary to attach
an ambulance for the care Of the
sick and wounded as the Post moves
on its march from this city to
Dodgeville.
In another column will be found
the certificate of the Comptroller of
the Currency that the First National
Bank has complied with the nation
al banking laws, and is authorized
to start in the business of banking
in this city. The First National
will start business just as soon as
the building lately occupied by
Henry's bank is fitted up for its use.
The Democrat believes that the step
taken by the incorporators of the
bank is in the right direction. The
recent numerous failures shattered
the confidence of the people in
banks to such an extent that it be-
came necessary in order to meet
their wants to start an institution
that everybody could do business
with and feel protected. The laws
pertaining to the management of a
national bank are so stringent that
the business of the bank has to be
transacted in cautious, conserva-
tive manner. The affairs of the bank
are closely scrutinized by the gov
eminent and are subject to exami-
nation at any time. Besides the
officers are compelled to make and
publish q sworn statement Of the
bank twice every year, which of
itself furnishes depositors an oppor-
tunity to ascertain the strength and
condition of the institution. The
Democrat congratulates our people
on having an institution that conf
dence can be reposed in, and we
believe it is one that not only our
own citizens but the people of the
county will appreciate.

Burglary.

The post office of this city was
open at an earlier hour than usual
on Monday morning. AT about six
o'clock as Colin Goldsworthy was
going home from work at the zinc
works he noticed the front door OF
the post office building open and
called in to get his mail, and found
the room filled with smoke, and
things in the rear portion of the
the building torn up generally. He
Immediately went up to Postmaster
Aliens house and informed him
of the condition of affairs at the
post office, and on arriving there Mr..
Allen found that the outside plate
Of the main door Of the safe in
which was kept money, stamps and
other valuables, had been blown off
by boring holes in the plate and in
serting powder. 1t was discovered
that entrance to the room had been
effected by cutting out a PANEL in
an unused door at the foot of the
back stairway leading to the second
story of the building. The bur
glars failed in their purpose, and
finding they could not open the
safe, took their departure, carrying
with them large revolver, and some
postage stamps that were in one of
the drawers. No clue has yet been
obtained as to the identity of the
thieves.

The Reunion.

The Southwestern Wisconsin Vet
eran Association held its fifth an
nual reunion in Darlington on
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week, and our sister city gave her
guests a royal reception. The city
was lavishly decked with flowers
and evergreens, and flags and ban
ners everywhere f1oated in the
breeze. The managers of the affair
conducted matters upon the broad
guage plan. The freedom of the
city was rendered to the visitors by
Mayor Rose, and every resident OF
Darlington seemed to make it a
special point to see that they were
rightly received and duly enter
tanned. There were present about
five hundred Grand Army boys, in
soldiers garb and bearing arms.
Civilians came from the four points
of the compass. Every county in
southern Wisconsin was largely rep
resented, and it is estimated that no
less than 10000, persons were pres
ent the second day. The veterans
were reviewed by Governor Rusk
and staff, and addresses were made
by the president of the association,
Captain. c. H. Baxter, Mayor Rose
and Hon. A. r. Bushnell, of Ian
caster. The orators of the day Gen.
Fairchild and Gen. Bragg, could not
be present, and in their absence
short speeches were made by Gov.
Rusk, Hon. ]! $ Magoon, and Gen.
J. C. Smith, OF illinois. The well
come address of Mayor Rose was
most eloquent, and was very favor.
ably received. The veterans camped
on the grounds adjoining the public
school building. On Thursday at
the close Of the exercises the follow
ing officers were elected for the en-
suing year: President, G. FL. Baxter,
of Lancaster; vice president, John
H. Vivian, of Mineral Point; COM
