LETTER TO THE TRIBUNE.
To the Editor of the Tribune.
MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 3.-There was state
ment made in the Tribune day or so since,
ISOLATION, of which Mr.. Merriam is president,
had settled satisfactorily with the Plummer
post and had their receipt in full, when the
fact is Mr.. Merriam never settled anything
with Plummer post; he settled with the
sham battle committee for Plummer post,
on the basis of about 1880. The
amphitheater has seating capacity of
10000; he settled for the amphitheater on
basis of 1000. The public can judge
whether it was full or not MIR. Cooper, OF
st. Cloud, who was assistant treasurer OF the
association, admitted after the sham battle
this year. in the treasurer's office, III the
presence of member of the sham battle
committee from Plummer post, that this
year there was about 40.0 600 to $4,000 on
the grounds, and there were over 10000
last year.
Now the public can judge whether he set
tied fairly with the sham battle committee
last year or not. And another thing. Mr.
Merriam has not got receipt i'll full; he has
the receipt of the sham battle committee for
something over 81 1000. but they never gave
him a receipt in full, because they did not
consider it q fair settlement, and would not
receipt only for the amount received. These
are facts which can be proven. l am Re-
publican and member of the Ola Soldiers
Harrison and Morton club. do not belong
to the sham battle committee, nor never did.
