cause of Lircoin's Appointmcnt.
The National Union Veterans Union
in session ut Des Moines adopted ,reso-
lutions denouncing Gov. Shaw for APP
pointing j. Rush Lincoln, an eN,Con-
federate. as brigadier general of Iowa
troops when they were called into SER
vice at the opening of the Spanish war.
The Governor at a camp fire of the or
der defended himself for this action.
He said Lincoln was conceded the best
military man in the State. There We're
expressions of disapprobation willie he
was talking, and the following day a
resolution was presented as follows:
That the declaration of Gov. Les
lie NJ. Shaw at the camp fire last
evening that his Endorsement and
the appointment Of j. Rush Lin
coin, II Confederate soldier, to the
position of brigadier general from
Iowa was right" is an insult to
every member of the Union Vet
Grams Union, and we emphatically
denounce it as an insult to us and
declare that the Endorsement was
wrong-wrong because in Iowa
there We're over 10000 brave, loyal
and true Union soldiers, among
whom We're hundreds as we'll quail
fed to fill the position of brigadier
general and who would have left a
lasting honor to the boys who Wore
the blue from 81 to 'G5.
That it was wrong to select from
the great State of Iowa, where so
many of her noble sons live who
won honor and distinction on the
held of battle fighting for the I'm
ion. for the post of honor from
Iowa an eX-Confederate soldier.
And we most vigorously condemn
such action and declare it to be the
duty of every comrade of this or
der IN Iowa to not support any man
for office who will give his support
and influence to a Confederate and
insult them by declaration at our
camp fire that his action in indors-
ing that appointment was right.
Speeches We're made and the GI,v.
ernor bitterly denounced. The reso-
luton was adopted with practically no
opposition. AT the outbreak of the
Spanish war Lincoln was instructor in
military tactics at the Iowa Agricul-
tural College at Ames. He is Il Repub-
lican in politics and had served in the
civil war as a Confederate He was
u brigade commander in the Spanish
war, serving in the camps of the
South.
The convention cried down reso-
luton indorsing the policy of the Nc
Kinley administration in the Philip
pine war at the session in the after
noon. The resolution would unques-
tionably have been defeated but that
1t was held out of order by the presi-
dent, Gen. Dyrenforth Of Washington.
The moment its reading was conclud
ed delegates were OH their feet In all
parts of the hall and shouted for the
recognition of the chair or hooted ut
the author of the proposal.
The resolutions committee unani-
mously reported resolution lenounc-
ing Secretary of Agriculture Wilson on
account of an insult it was claimed he
had imposed on Commander-in-chief
Dyrenforth some months ago when the
latter went to him in reference to
political appointment. 1t was adopted.
Another resolution was adopted criti-
cising the pension policy of the admin
istration.
