In relation TO the soldier resolution
passed by the reform Editors in this
city February "a, 1891, tan say that
sat within few feet Of the inirn,luc,r
and reader uf the resolution, and heard
il distinctly, and saw il passed "a the
secretary, For some reason, the rrsu-
luton has never been published just as
passed. The one published 10y the Non
ConTormid is positively incorrect. The
Topeka AdrOcnts is ncarr right, hut
somewhat mIller than the original,
while the one published 10y the Interior
Herald l. slightly too intense and snmr
