Gen. George L. BeaI.
tion.

General Geo. L. Beal Of Norway, who
has so ably conducted the States finances
during the past six years, completes his
term of service today, and will turn over
the affairs of that office to his successor,
Hon. +. NJ. Simpson of Carmel. General
Beal's conduct of this important office
has been eminently successful and salts
factory to the people of his State. He
retires with a record of faithful and
efficient service of which any man may
Justly feel proud. 1t was he who was
able, by taking advantage of peculiar
ly favorable condition existing in the
money market, to fund the State debt at
the low rate of three per cent. an achieve
ment which placed the finances of the
State in a most excellent condition, Sc
cured to the treasury a handsome sum of
money obtained as premiums on the sale
of bonds, and relieved the taxpayers of
the State of considerable burden.
General Beal was veteran in public
service when he came to the treasury
office. He is native of Norway, and was
educated in the common schools and at
Westbrook Seminary. On the breaking
out of the war of the Rebellion, he was
made captain of the Norway Light Infan-
try, and when Governor Washburn or.
ganized the First Maine Regiment, he
rendered his company for immediate ser
vice on the twentieth day of April, 1861,
and was the first man to enlist in Oxford
county. His war record was a conspicu-
ously brilliant one. On the expiration of
his three months term he re-enlisted and
was commissioned colonel of the Tenth
Maine Infantry He participated in the
battles of Cedar Mountain, Popes retreat
and Antietam. He was severely wounded
at Antietam, but was soon able to return
to duty again.
He was mustered out with his regiment
in May, 1868, but re-enlisted and was
made colonel of the Twenty ninth Maine
Regiment. He participated in the battles
of Red River and the Shenandoah Valley
campaigns in 1864. For distinguished
service in the battle of Sabine Cross
Roads, Louisiana, he won general s stars.
In reconstruction times he was placed in
command of the western district of South
Carolina, where his faithful and efficient
service secured him promotion to Brevet
Major General of Volunteers. In Janu-
airy, 1866, after nearly five years of ser
vice, he was mustered out and honorably
discharged.
General Beal was delegate to the Re-
publican National Convention which
nominated General Grant for President
in 1868, and was elector at large on the
ticket for that year. He served for some
time as pension agent and was the first
department commander of the G. A. r.
of Maine, and commander of the military
order of the Loyal Legion ComTandery
of Maine for 1S93-94. From 1880 to 1885 he
was adjutant general of Maine, and has
been State treasurer since 1885,
General Beal is man of sterling char
acter and unflinching courage. He has
made in his public life a host of friends
whose cordial good wishes will attend
him in his retirement from the duties of
the responsible position which he has
| filled so ably and well.
