SHAKESPEARE ON CLEVELAND.
The next distinguished speaker OF the
evening was Department Commander OF
Michigan G.. A r., William Shakespeare,
OF kalamazoo. Mr. Shakespeare is one
of the truly battle-scarred remnants of
the "latc unplcasantness At the
battle OF Fair Oaks he received not less
than seven wounds almost simultan-
eously. lie has not yet recovered
from the effects of his wounds, having a
running sore on one of his legs that will
never heal. When he was singled out by
the Cleveland administration as one OF
the dishonest old pension sllarkes, - and
the mengre governmental stipend that
keeps him from want reduced ia order
that Others might observe aud read u
lesson, IL IN not strange that his indigna.
tion arose TO pitch from which descent
is impossible. Mr.. Shakespeare is cx-
tremely modest, however, aud said very
little in regard Co his own case further
than that, on behalf OF the old soldiers
he had resented the insult and carried
his case to n successful termination in
the highest tribunal OF the United States,
the supreme court OF the District oi
Columbia. He did not miss the oppor-
tunity, however, to rub against the
anti-pension administration OF Grover
N'N'N'"N hhN hiS ihiNuiui hlltllnk
Lochren, whom, he said, had lately been
given life pension Of 5000 per nnnum
in the form of II district judgship in
Minnesota. This, he believed, was the
reward OF faithful service in carrying out
the despicable designs of Grover Glove
land, whom, he believed, hated the very
blue the old soldiers wore. Mr.. Shakes
peare spoke in very complimentary
terms OF the manner in which the FIRST
reunion had been conducted and con
graduated the people OF Crystal Falls
and Mr.. Bach IN particular on the sue
cess OF the affair. Before retiring, Mr..
Shakespeare made hit by assuring the
audience that he would have delivered a

only to fall victim To the light fingers Of
Curtis Buck, OF Ironwood.
POND ON sHAgEsPEARE.
Adiutant G. " II. Pond, OF Lansing.
was the next speaker. In "A happy flood
oil mirth he attempted to explain the
extreme interest which his predecessors
ON the platform had manifested FOR the
ladies by relating that during tie entire
reunion his Comrades Buck, Rolph and
Shakespeare had insisted on tetc-a-tetes
oI almost constant duration in all quar-
ters of the town. They were not con-
tent, lac said, TO do their visiting In the
opera house, at tho hotels and in other
public places but on that very afternoon
he discovered them i'm n secluded nook in
the court house grounds with innumer-
able pl,nsurable companions Of the
gentler sex. That explained their GAL
lantry, in large measure, he thought.
Seriously, however, Mr.. Pond echoed the
sentiment Of his comrades in regard to
the service rendered by the women in
the war and the service they were
rendering today, insisting that IL the
representative OF any post within tho
hearing OF his voice belonged TO G.. A.
X. organization having no auxiliary IN
the form OF II Women's Relief Corps, he
G, "a.
an organization OF this kind was formed
with all possible haste. Mr.. Pond then
alluded Co the remarks OF Mr.. Shakes
peare in regard to the pension policy OF
the present national administration.
