Reconciliation Between Gov. Hubbard
and Col. Bend.
The long struggle on the part Of Col. Bend
to regain his position as colonel of the
First regiment has at last come to an end
and the doughty colonel will undoubtedly
succeed. The trouble it will be remember
ed, grew out of the Decoration day parade
On the date in question-May 80 last
Gov. Hubbard was out OF the state, and
Col. Bend on his own authority, ordered
the companies OF the First regiment to
participate in the parade. The st. Paul
companies were assigned an inferior posi-
ton by those having charge OF the parade.
Conce rning this point there is a general
misunderstanding. Col. Bend did not ask,
80 his friends say, to head the parade and
march in advance Of the G. A. r. men. but
on.y the military portion OF it. In the di.
vision the infantry companies we're assigned
to position behind the cavalry company
which had been recently organized, and
which was not then one OF the state ma
tional guard. This was the grievance Col
Bend refused to parade unless this was
changed, and he was upheld by the St. Paul
captains. In the absence OF Gov. Hubbard
Adit Gen. Mace arthy addressed aletSer to
Col. Bend, threatening him with dire re-
suits if he persisted in his refusal. Co.. Bend
replied, and racy correspondence result
ed, Which was published III the newspapers
When Gov. Hubbard returned. Adjt. Gen.
MacCarthy preferred charges against Col
Bend, and a court martial was ordered but
dissolved by an order from the supreme
court. Col. Bends commission was then
revoked by the governor Litigation was
commenced by Col. Bend, but he was un
successful. In the meantime mutual friends
Of himselfand the governors brought about
an interview, on the colonel's state
ment that Gov. Hubbard misunderst~ d
his position on several important
correspondence in which Col Bend ad.
mitted certain errors he had fallen into, to
which Gov. Hubbard replied as follows:
