In order to show the partisan meth
DDS of the Register. the IntellIgencer,
on Tuesday, specifically charged that
paper with having eliminated from Its
report published Saturday morning OF
the previous days session of the G. A.
r. encampment, at Cincinnati, all refer
ences whatever to the action of the rep
resentatlves Of the three hundred thou
sand veterans, in adopting a stirring
resolution paying personal tribute to
President McKinley's conduct OF the
war; that 1t confined the report to a
criticism by the encampment Of pension
rulings of the pension bureau, and an
appeal to the President to correct them.
Our nelghbor. in response states this
charge was untrue. and says:
The attitude Of the O. a. r. on thl
point IL so well known that this hardly
merits n response. Sutncc u 10 shy ",
Register purposely suppressed nothing n
that connection, not only giving full pub
iicIty 10 tho endorsement Of the admins
tratiOn and AIger but commcnted upor
that same endorsement In these columns
This statement is as brazenly false as
anything that ever appeared in the col
umns of a newspaper. The Intelligen-
Ger challenges the Register to repro
duce one single reference from It's Sat-
urday Issue to the resolution referred to,
either from It's editorial or news col
umns. The matter was a prominent
feature OF the Associated Press report.
and not even reference to 1t was per
mitted to appear in our neiGhbor's col
umne. Everything was eliminated save
the resolutions crItlclsing the commits
sloner OF pensions, in which the Regis
ter doubtless thought 1t saw as much
politics on its side as It found favorable
to the Republican sIdeiin the suppressed
resolution. Let the Register reproduce

ONO CouNN REPUBuCAN nCKET
~. Improvtm.nL CONVENTION.


The addresses made yesterday at the
opening of the meeting of the Ohio VAL
ley Improvement Association were full
Of interest. Gov. AtNdnson's welcome
speech was notable for the information
1t contained, and President yance's an
nuaI address, which was in the nature
Of a brief report for the year, contained
some suggestions which are OF especial
interest. Both will be found in the con-
ventIon report. In connection with the
fact that Congress did not pass a river
and harbor bill during the past session,
on account Of the extraordinary de-
mands that were being made on the
treasury for war expenses. President
Vance brought out the wisdom of the
previous Congress in providing for tho
continuous contract system. NotwIth-
standing the war emergency preventing
further legislation before Congress
again meets. the work OF improving the
Ohio and It's tributaries provided by the
act of 1895, continued right along and
Will continue until the gross amount
then appropriated is exhausted. This
demonstration Of the wisdom of the sys-
tenn is a complete vlndIcation of the
idea, which has heretofore been en-
dorsed by the association. In referring
to the change in favor of the govern
ment Improvement of our internal water
ways which has taken place in public
sentiment, and that the policy is no
longer made a political issue. President
Vance finds in this happy state Of AFFAIRS
a powerful factor leading to the sue
cess of the efforts OF the association to-
ward the completion OF the plans for
continuous navigation from Pittsburgh
down, and for the improvement in all
ways of the Ohio and It's tributaries.
The tribute paid by President Vance
TO the members of Congress- and sena-
tors representing the states interested
In the great work OF the association, for
their services and their devotion to tho
interests OF their constituents, was de-
served in every instance. The especial
reference to Representative Doyener's
valuable work in the river and harbor
committee. and the service he has rem
dered the organization. will be heartily
appreciated by the constituents Of the
captain. His compliment that our con-
gresham has demonstrated good judy
ment and marked ability In oil move
ments for the improvement of the great
waterway in which we are interested,
and as a member Of the rivers and har-
bors committee. he has neglected no
opportunity to carefully guard the In
terests Of his constituents and the whole
Ohio Valley" was gracefully rendered.
While the convention Is not a large
one In point OF numbers, II Is thoroughly
representative of the whole valley and
It's important interests, and It's dellber-
utIons will be of great benefit, greater,
perhaps, than the public in general is
able to appreciate Just now. The work
of the association so far has been OF
vast Importance, and the movements
inauRurated mean results Of incalcu-
liable value to the splendid region capa-
bic of much greater things, and constl-
tuting one OF the wenlthiest, In re-

The reported action OF General Gomez
in reslgning the command of the Cuban
army, on the ground that the United
States contempIates the retirement OF
the Cuban republic and the establish
ment of the absolute dominion of this
country, is hard to believe. Gomez has
heretofore been regarded as the most
reasonable of all the Cuban leaders in
the matter of the dealings with this
government. It Is incredible, almost,
that he should now doubt the sincerity
of the Intentions of the United States.

such circumstances II viii not AFFECT the
