KANSAS STATE NEWS.
The Reunion.

The great reunion of veterans at To-
peka was the grandest affair that the Cap
ital City ever witnessed. Twenty -fve
thousand veterans were in camp. The ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by Gov
ernor Martin, and many prominent speak
ers were present from different parts OF
the country. The banner over the main
entrance to the grounds was OF very ap-
propriate design. 1t extended across both
main gates, being &c feet in length, by "a
feet in width. The design was an arch
resting ON two foundation stones labeled
Liberty and Equality" On these the
arch extended upward, being composed OF
the representations of stones, each OF
which bore the name of State, all the
States being represented and indiscrimin-
ately mingled. The keystone OF this arch
was the Stars and Stripes. In the semi
circle below the arch was the words,
Welcome to Camp Grant," while on
either corner at the ends aud above were
the notices "Our Country One Arch, and
its Keystone the Flag" Over the entrance
gate and hanging from the banner was
flag, on either side of which in national COL
ors appeared the G. A. X. badge. The
Kansas National Guards, comprising
thirty-two companies of infantry and one
battalion, in all four regiments, were in
camp on the grounds and presented fine
appearance. General Black, Commis-
sioner of Pensions, who had accepted
an invitation to be present and address
the veterans, was absent. A telegram
had been received, however, announcing
the death of his daughter and his inability
to be present, and resolutions of coincidence
and sympathy were passed and ordered
forwarded to General Black. Altogether
the old soldiers had most enjoyable time
and will long remember with pleasure the
camp-fires that burned so brightly at their
reunion of 1885.

grounds. At eleven o'clock the divisions
