represent in all matters the National En-
campment in the interval between It's

Chap. w., Art VI. Sec 2.-The Vice

and in his absence or disability, they shall

According to these Senior Vice Com

The present expectation is that the
Council will promote Senior Vice John

Daniel Ross to Senior Vice, and elect a
new Junior Vice Commander-in-C Chief.
1t need not do this, however, unless it
desires to, for the Rules and Regulations
give it full power in the premises. The
only objection so far made is that it may
interfere somewhat with the coming

RATIFICATION OF The TREATY.

RATIFICATION OF TIE TREATY.
Az The NATIONAL TRIBUNE pre-
dicted last week, the Treaty Of Peace
was ratified on Monday. The vote was
far closer than it should have been.
Every patriotic and humanitarian reason
demanded that it should have been
unanimous. This was without reference
to Expansion " or Imperialism"
The Treaty only puts an end to the
war, and the dominion of Spain over
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
This everyone desired, or should have
desired. What shall be done with those
islands in the future is entirely another
question. But in addition to the
sycophancy Of Senator Hale toward
European diplomats, and the crankiness
of Senator Hoar and others, there en-
tered the political intriguing of clique
managed by Senator German, who
wanted to down" Bryan, and destroy
bis leadership of the Democratic party,
by defeating the ratification, which he
had recommended. The effect of this
would be to remove the Free
Silver issue, as the leading Democratic
principle, and substitute Anti-Expan-
sion. This explains such negative votes
as those of Murphy, of New York;
Smith, of New Jersey; Mitchell, OF
Wisconsin, etc. Of course, such Sena-
tors as Vest, Bate, Mills, Berry, Cock
rell, Jones of Arkansas, ETC., would
vote against anything they thought de-
sired by the people outside of the late
so-called Southern Confederacy, and
Pettigrew is never content except when
he is on the off:side."
Senator Davis and his colleagues are
to be greatly commended for their firm
determination to put the Treaty through
without any proviso or amendment.
We want an absolutely free hand in the
Philippines, and they have secured it
for us. Hereafter Congress can deal
with the Philippines precisely as it
chooses. without being hampered by any
conditions or declarations. The arch-
pelago is as completely ours as is Alaska,
and without the slightest limit to our
sovereignty.

condition became at once serious, but
his friends cherished the hope that his
splendid constitution would pull him

continued to believe that he would wear
out the complication of diseases which
followed in the train of the grip. Then
he began to sink, and died at 3:15 Sum-
day morning. His wife and eldest son
were at his bedside at the time.
The deepest anxiety was felt during
his illness by his comrades of the GAL r.,

DEATH OF THE COMNANDER-TN-CHIE
For the first time in the 33 years OF
the history of the Grand Army of the
Republic a Commander-in-Ch Chief has
died while in office, and an event &c
momentous startles the whole of the
great Order. When Col. James A.
Sexton was elected at Cincinnati he
seemed in the prime of his vigorous,
active manhood. He was fine speci-
men of the stalwart, alert, all-capable
American man, had been conducting
his extensive business with his aecus-
toned energy and success, and had
organized regiment of volunteers, which
he was about to lead to the field when
stopped by the signing of the protocol.
Later the President appointed him a
member of the War Investigating Com
mission, and until stricken with illness
he attended to its duties with assiduous
fidelity.
Col. Sexton was typical American
Volunteer. Born in Chicago in 1914,
he was mere boy when the war broke
ont. but he at once enlisted In the 10Th
ILL.,, one of the best regiments raised by
Illinois. At the conclusion of his
three months service he re-enlisted
in the 9th H., another three
months organization, and became First
Lieutenant. He then raised a COM
pany for the I'D ILL.,, a three-ye
organization, and became its Captain.
He served in this capacity throughout
the Atlanta Campaign, and commanded
his regiment at Columbia, Spring Hill,
Franklin, and Nashville. His gallantry
and good soldiership attracted the
attention of his Corps Commander,
Gen. A. j. Smith, who attached him
to his Staff. He was slightly wounded
at Franklin, severely at Nashville, and
had his leg broken by a shell at the
capture of Spanish Fort.
After the war he followed the
example of many other discharged
Union soldiers and settled in the South
and engaged in cotton planting. Two
years later he returned to Chicago, and
established the foundry of Jas. A. &
j. Z. Sexton, the business of which he
built up into large dimensions. Presi-
dent Harrison appointed him Post
master of Chicago. He was very active
in the councils of the Republican
party, and his abilities made him an
excellent leader. He kept in close
touch with the old comrades, and was
prominent in all the soldier organiza-
tiona of Chicago. In 1888 he served
as Department Commander of the
Illinois GAR. He was also prominent
in the Loyal Legion and the Society of
the Army of the Tennessee. He was
elected Commander in-Chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Gin
cinnati practically without opposition.
His administration of the office was
brilliant and entirely satisfactory to the
comrades. He was an ideal Com

flow. The Commander Of tho Depart
ment of the Potomac, Arthur Hendricks,
and other comrades were particularly
attentive.
AS soon as death came it was decided
to remove the remains at once to Chi.
cago, and they were taken by the even,
ing train. The funeral at Chicago
which had been his lifelong home, was
attended by an immense throng, in
which civilian friends and admirers Wed
with his veteran comrades in doing him
honor.
