Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal
BLUFFToN, Ind, Feb 1S.-Much interest
Is manifested in this vicinity over the pro-
posed appropriation for entertaining the q.
A. r encampment at Indianapolis. The
opinion Is almost unanimous for the ap-
preparation, and it il only an occasional
person who opposes it. The people believe
1t to be State matter, and that whatever
honor may be attached to it will be to the
credit of the entire State. and not to In
dianapolis alone. 1t is not party matter,
for men OF all political faiths sanction
such an appropriation. The following ex-
pressions will indicate the feeling:
Lee Martz, Commander Lew Daily Post,
No. SO: THE Legislature should appropriate
the sum. The amount is small and the
veterans pay their share without grum-
bling. We hope our Representatives ap-
probate the situation"
j. w. Spake: 81 think the State should
make the appropriation OF $4,000 Tor the
b. A. X. encampment
J. w. Sale: Il think 1t is proper and
right for the Legislature TO make an appro-
priation for the q. A. k. encampment. /
but the entire State Will be benefited"
Hon. Hugh Dougherty: Il heartily ap-
prove of the appropriation of $50. ZOO for the
D.. A. X. encampment
NJ. NJ Justus. ex-sheriff: 81 think the ap-
preparation should be made and have
written our Representative. Mr.. Blue, that
he ought to support the measure in the in
terest OF the soldiers and the State of Indi-
Rna."
l.. Mason, NJ. D.: II think we ought to
have the appropriation and that the State
cannot do itself justice without it,"
+. K. EffinGer: II am most assuredly In
favor of an appropriation"
j. w. WATSON. quartermaster Lew Daily
Post: 81 am In favor of appropriation
Of S50.00O. Our post voted in favor of it
Unanimously
Judge j. S. Daily: Personally / would
be pleased TO see an appropriation made for
such appropriation is necessary for the
success of the enterprise"
l.. T.. Davenport: II am not in favor of
tt. If the people of Indianapolis sought
the encampment they should take care of
It. and not ask the State ct large to do so.
] don't want TO be understood as opposed
TO the u. A. r.. but she capital city should
take care of its visitors"
Hon. j. J. Todd: "Itisa merirorious meas
ure. worthy the support of every man who
Is in sympathy with the Union soldiers.
The honor. dignity and glory of the State
demand It's passage. The cry 'unconstitu-
tionap - the usual apology OF the dema-
goQne. The spirit and infamy of the Legis-
lsture of 1868 seems 10 have its counterpart
IN the Legislature this winter"
Fl. Z. Arnold: II think the State should
make an appropriation TO assist the Grand
Army encampment OF Indianapolis"
T.. C.. Vaughn, chairman Democratic
county committee: The approximation
asked for should be granted by the Legs
lature. It is q matter involving the inter-
ests of no section or city, but the entire
State of Indiana. This State should be
peccnd to no other in the Union In proper
recognition and entertainment OF the old
Boldiers, who are rapidly dropping out of
the column. / am for the appropriation"
o. L. Koontz: ~ heartily approve the
appropriation. Nothing short of it will do
Justice 10 the State"
