diers and citizens assembled in the Audito-

fire exercises. Postmaster Henry A. Castle
presided and his Introductory speech was Of
the happiest character. His remarks inau-
gurating the meeting were not only appropri-
ate to the occasion, but extremely felicitous.
After Capt Castle, the Mendelssohn quar-
tette gave selection, and then Gen. Thomas
G. LAWYER, past commander Of the depart
ment Of Illinois, and for twenty nine consecu-
tive years post commander, delivered an
address which, for beauty and phraseology
and happiness of sentiment, has not been sur
passed any campfire speech delivered in st.
Paul. 1Ta fua
selection by STEMS band was next on the
programme, and then Capt. CASTLE introduced
the newly elected commander in-chief, Maj.
L. 5. GARRISON. Maj Clarkson was greeted
with a salvo of applause. His voice,
however was of the husky order, and he
was hardly heard beyond the platform. Yet
when his voice had caught up with the mag
nitude of the hall he held the audience
thralled, for the sentiments to which he gave
utterance were of a character to set any st.
Paul audience wild. especially when he re-
ferred to the efforts of the st. Paul people
to make matters pleasant for the veterans.
Maj. Clarkson stated that he had attended
many meetings of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, but he never yet had been present
at reunion in any city in which the entire
people seemed determined to demonstrate that
every old soldier was brother of some st.
The commander-in-chie was followed by
Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet scout, with his
Joaquin MllfSr- DalF anu accent. JACK
tickled the audience with sundry and divers
anecdotes, and then gave way to the Modoc
club, which sang Republican song of
more less patriotic character, and upon an
encore rung In a bid for vote for Maj. Nc
Kinley.
Then came the event Of the evening,
ladies. 1t was Minnesota talent, but an audi
enee from every state in the Union. The ap-
pIause was deafening.

Marching was beautifully rendered by the
