Indian War veterans.

The grand encampment of Indian
war veterans of the Pacific Northwest
was held in Portland this week. pre-
sided over by Grand Commander Thos
A. Wood, and Otto Kleemann acting
as grand adjutant. The representation
of members was unusually large, and
was augmented by large attendance
of the women's auxiliary, embracing
the wives and daughters Of the sturdy
men, who in the earlier history of tbs
Northwest protected their homes and
families from the hostile savages. Th'
meeting lasted three days.

The last day of the convention was
held in session for ten hours to accom-.
plish the work cut out for it, and the
scenes at different times were tragic,
dramatic and inspiring. Fully 5000
people were in the vast auditorium to
hiss or cheer by turns.
The bolt of the silver men from the
West furnished the most dramatic in
cident of the day. Led by Senator
Teller. they had previously declared
their intention of refusing to subscribe
to the gold plank in the platform, but,
after Senator Teller had made his final
appeal to the convention not to take
the step which would drive him and
his colleagues out of the ranks of the
party which in the past honored them,
and they had delighted to serve, the
convention had voted, 818b to 1855,
to stand by the gold declaration in the
platform. When Senator Teller made
his declaration, saying: ~ must sever
my connection with the political party
which makes the gold plank one of the
principal articles of its faith" he
paused and swpet his eyes across the
hall. Tie galleries rose with yell,
and mingled with the yell was fusi.
lade of Kisses. There was pathos in
the senator's voice, and those nearest
could detect a glimmer of tears while
he said there would be heartburnings
and grief in the sacrifice he and his
colleagues were to make for their con-
sciences.
Cheers then came from the silver
delegates and the gold men were on
their feet from the admiration of the
man, not of his cause. The Kisses
were few this time.
No one who witnessed the scenes will
forget them to his dying day, the pio
