dence was noticed which did not show
any indication of welcome, and the boys
unanimously voted the owner an old
"copperhead." The parade was partici-
pated in by fully $4,000 old soldiers,
marching by departments and posts,
many of them accompanied by bands of
music and drum corps; fully 10000 more
old soldiers were unable to stand the
fatigue of the march, and the streets
along the line of march were crowded
with visitors and residents. OF the many
notables present Done were more conspic-
uous than General John A. Logan, who,
with other officers of the order, headed
the procession on horseback. His APP
pearance elected constant cheering, and
whenever opportunity offered, the old
soldiers rushed at him with outstretched
hands and almost tore him from off his
horse, General w. T. Sherman, who
occupied seat in carriage at the end
Of the procession, was also vociterously
cheered all along the line. The parade
was one of the finest ever seen, and re-
minded many old veterans of the review
in Washington at the end of the war.
Everything done by the officials CT the
G. A. R. or by the citizens of Minneapo-
lis in connection with the occasion was
perfect and all arrangements were carried
out to the entire satisfaction of all inter-
ested. The camp was within reasonable
distance, we'll arranged and pleasantly
located. Each department occupied a
separate street of tents, and most of the
old soldiers spent the nights in camp, al
though sleep, except for very few hours,
was oat OF the question, the boys insist
ing upon having lots Of fun when alone
In camp.
From our own state large number of
old soldiers were in attendance, probably
not less than 1000, and every Wisconsin
regiment was represented. Several re-
unions of Wisconsin regiments were
held, and it was often both amusing and
affecting to see comrades meet who had
not seen each other since the close of the
war. The First Cavalry especially was
largely represented, of the 29th Infantry
there were IA present, and of the Goth
some 10 or IL Among the former and
present residents of this vicinity the fol
lowing were noticed, although many
more may have been there: Col, D. u.
Scott, DR.. Spalding, Captain Gibbs, Cap
tain Bronson, J. A. Norris, Vic GiIrup,
Elisha Crossett, H. E. Coleman, j. Fl.
Elkins, w. T. Rambusch, FL. G. Curtis

Of the city of Minneapolis a word
ought to be said. Since your correspond
emf saw it last. IA years ago, it has
changed and improved wonderfully, in
fact, except as for few prominent land
marks, it would be absolutely impossible
to recognize it. Not only has it increas-
ed and spread out over the adjoining
territory, but a large number of splendid
business blocks, which cannot be excelled
in the country, have been erected, prom
inent among which is the West Hotel,
the finest hotel in the West, not excepting
the Palmer House in Chicago.

TIE G. A. r. ENCAMPMENT.

The encampment of tue Grand Army
of the Republic and the reunion of SOL
diers in connection Herewith, held at
Minneapolis last week, was one of the
most enjoyable affairs, and one of the
most numerously attended, ever held
since the close of the war. With that
hospitality and open-heartedness which
has always distinguished that city, above
all others in the Union, Minneapolis
did its very utmost to bid welcome and
entertain the $4,000 veterans who took
part in the reunion. Every business
street was handsomely decorated with
banners, flags, streamers and coiors OF
every description. Magnificent arches
spanned the streets in many places, Cid
every private dwelling was ornamented
with devices of every kind. During the
entire march on Wednesday morning,
covering some or 4 miles along the
principal streets, only one private resi-.

THE democratic state convention Tor
the nomination of state ticket, will be
held at Madison, Wednesday, September
10, There will not be much of racket
over the nominations, as our democratic
friends have no more notion of being able
to carry the state this fall than they have
of seeing the man in the moon. Frat,

at the head of the Wisconsin Agricultural

meeting last Tuesday, resolved to support
Grover Cleveland for the presidency
Jefferson Banner.
Brother Carr starts out in the campaign
as very reliable on figures. All told
there were just 459 independents present.
This is an exaggeration of only 1900
per cent. which is very fair for such a
