Elected COMMANDMENTS Chief of the
Grand Army.

Elected commander-in -Chief of the
Grand Army.
DETROIT, Aug. 7-When the G. a. r
encampmenr adjourned Wednesday the
election of Weissert for commander.in-
chief, although not entirely certain, was
considered one of the most likely things
in the world. The east had obtained the
next encampment, and il seemed simply
appropriate that the west should have
the chief officer. But the east seemed to
want the earth, and it got it. The first
business yesterday was the election of
officers. Wisconsin, through b. Z. Bry-
ant, put in nomination A. G. Weissert,
and it was eloquently seconded by ex-G Gov
ernor Alger, and by the states of Illinois
Iowa, Indiana and Kentucky. Corporal
Tanner put up John Palmer, of Albany,
and Massachusetts,, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania seconded the nomination. Ohio
nominated S. II. Hurst, and California
stood by w. Z. Smedburg, of those states,
respectively.
Hurst Withdraws His Name.
But Hurst was not "in it," lie spoke
for himself and said that New York had
sent more men to the defense of the Union
than any other state, and when she want
ed anything of the Grand Army she ought
to have it. He therefore withdrew in IA
vor of Palmer. The first ballot was then
taken, giving Palmer, 800; Weissert, go,
and Smedburg, 177-no choice. The sec
ond ballot showed a continual stampede
to Palmer, mostly at Smedburg's ex-
pense, and when the close was reached
and the result seemed in doubt California
settled the matter by going over en- masse
to Palmer, Smedburg withdrawing.
Somebody just here moved that the vote
for Palmer be made unanimous, and
amid great cheering the thing was done
and Palmer declared to be elected to the
position of con- mander-in-chief

Secretary Fosters recent letter in rela-

operation of this new industry in the new
mills of the company it is necessary to
have number of skilled laborers fresh
from the business as it is conducted in
Europe today. The foreign labor needed
will not amount to 10 per cent. of the
whole number employed. All the COM
pany needs is some tin-plate rollers and
other skilled laborers from abroad to run
some patent machinery. 1t has adver-
tised for this sort of help, but cannot OBJ
tain it in the home market.
