70 the Speaker of the House of Repre-

oral john GlbDOn, United States army, re-
tires for age on April 20. 1891. having served
longer than any general officer on the &c
tive list and has seen more frontier service
than any of them. He was in the Florida
commanded a corps during the civil
war and has served almost continu-
ously OH the frontier. He was for
many years commanding of the
district Of Montana, was severely
wounded at the battle of the Big Hole with
hostile Nez Perces and was in immediate
command of the Montana column that
saved the wreck of the Seventh cavalry on
battlefield.
Under the circumstance it would be
a peculiarly appropriate measure and be-
a deserved reward for the legislature
OF our new state to, by a joint resolution,
memorialize congress to pass a bill retiring
Gen. Gibbon as a m~ajor-general for long
and arduous service, on the frontier, and
for wounds received in action with hostile
Indians, at the expiration of his time of
service. Will you act on this matter. which
is outside of politics. and can only reflect
credit on our state and suitably reward an
honest old soldier. Very respectfully, your
obedient servant.
