Reconciliation Between Gov. Hubbard
and Col. Bend.

and Col. Bend.
The long struggle on the part ofCol. 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.
Concerning this point there is general
misunderstanding. Col. Bend did not ask
so his friends say, to head the parade and
march in advance OF the G. A. r. men, but
only the military portion OF it. In the di-
vision theinfantry companies were assigned
to a 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 ofGov. Hubbard
Adit. Gen. MacCarthy addressed IA letterto
Col. Bend, threatening him with dire re-
suits if he persisted in his refusal. Col Bend
replied, and a racy correspondence result
ed, which was published in the newspapers.
When Gov. Hubbard returned, Adjt Gen.
MacCarthy preferred charges against Col.
Bend, and 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 wasun-
successful. In the meantime mutual friends
OF hlmselfand the governors brought about
an interview, on the colonel's state
ment that Gov. Hubbard misunderstood
ms position on several important
points. This interview brought about
correspondence in which Col. Bend ad-
mltted certain errors he had fallen into. to
which Gov. Hubbard replied as follows: -
Your letter of the 10th inst, is so far
satisfactory that believing you would ac-
cept the teachings OF the past for your
future conduct if again member OF the
Minnesota national guard. l will say that
II, alter publication OF your letter with
that to which it responds to the officers OF
the flrst regiment, you shall be by them
elected to the yet vacant colonelcy, 1 shall
willingly sign and issue your commission,
Yours respectfully, L. F. HUBBARD, Gov
ernor.
