In General.
ST. PAUL NOTES.


Garfield post will on next Thursday even
ing give party at Market hall, for which
tickets can be secured of comrades Becker,
Brooks and Anderson. The receipts will go
to defray the expenses of Decoration day.
1t is rumored that new post in st. Paul
is among the possibilities. This city ought
certainly to support more than two Grand
Army posts. Minneapolis has six.
In these columns last week it was reported
that Acker post of ST. Paul had passed reso-
luton condemning Plummer post of Mime
apois for its resolutions concerning Gov.
Hubbard. This was an error. The resolu-
tons were introduced, laid over and will un-
doubtedy be defeated
Commander Spencer of the new post at
St Cloud was in the city. He reports the
infant post in a thriving condition.
The following was adopted at n meeting Of
Garfield post Thursday evening:
Resolved, That Garfield post No. s, G. A.
r., takes this method OF informing Gov.
Hubbard of this state, and the public gen
orally, that this post approves his action in
vetoing ''the $1,000 appropriation, believ-
ing in the honesty and patriotism of his
purpose, and that the small amount Of funds
in the state treasury alone prompted him to
take the action he did,
1t being understood that Plummer post Of
Minneapolis is sending to other posts copies
of its resolutions condemniug Gov. Hubbard
for their Endorsement, Department Com
mander Becker has issued general order
asking all posts to abstain from taking such
action until further orders. 1t is under
stood that movement is on foot to raise the
81, 900 by some other means.
There has been received from California
correspondence showing that that state has
appropriated s25, 900 to defray the expenses
of next years national encampment, If the
attendance of the body can be secured.
