n Present.
BY noon most of the veterans had
arrived. Many of them were accom-
panied by their wives and children.
A banquet was held at the Laporte
hotel which the veterans together
with their families and few invited
guests attended. Immediately after
the banquet the meeting of the asso-
citation was held in the NJ. T.. church
The exercises were interesting and
were we'll attended by the friends Of
the soldiers and citizens in general.
The meeting was called to order
by the President, Ii. ID. Brown of
Go. B. After music by the choir,
the Secretary, Geo. W. Glidewell of
Go. B. read the minutes of the last
meeting of the association which
were adopted as read. Judge Ing
ham was then called upon. After
briefly welcoming the veterans to
Laporte, he delivered an historical
address in which the causes that led
to the great conflict were clearly set
forth. The struggle in the halls of
legislation over the question of slav-
cry was first fully reviewed. This
was followed by an account of the
struggle in the field from '61 to 65.
The rights of the soldiers with refer
ence to pensions was also emphasize
ed. The prominent part taken by
the 5Sth Regiment in the great
struggle was alluded to and a
portion Of the regimcntal history as
given by Bates was read.
Quarter Master Hested of New
Albany was called upon and on be-
half of the regiment thanked the
people Of Laporte for their welcome
