REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PEN
SIONS.
Chairman Il. Il. Brown, of the Com
mlttee on Pensions, proceeded TO read the
report which was listened TO with the
deepest po Ssible attention, and frequently
and loudly applauded.
See report of Committee on page 3.
At the conclusion there were many
compliments paid re committee and Com
rade ketcham, of Indiana, said that the
report was so long, so exhaustive, and
dealt with such a variety Of complex ques-
tions, that he moved that il be printed and
copies distributed 10 every member Of the
Encampment that he might study it, and
be able to discuss 1t intel4igently the next
morning.
Conrade McElroy, of the Potomac, said
that he had no objection 10 this, unless
a mechanical difficulty would prevent is
being ready, since most of the printing
offices We're now closed; that he did not
want tne discussion postponed, lest it
might he unduly hurried; that he, with
other opponents of Mr.. Evans, had come
there for the fullest and freest discussion
of every material fact, and welcomed any
thing that would throw light upon the
vexed matter. He was prepared to meet

every allegation that could be made by the
apologists and defenders of Mr.. Evans,
| and that he hoped that the discussion
would not be interrupted.
Comrade Ketchum said that out in In
diana they thought they knew as much
as people on the Potomac.
Comrade Dodge, Indiana. insinuated
| that there was something behind this OPP
position to the Commissioner of Pensions
which he was bound to ferret out.
A number of comrades avowed that they
had come there to-s e, the thing carried on
to a finish, if it took weeks.
AdJt-Gen. Stewart promised that he
would have the work done. and copies in
the hands of the delegates by S o'clock
tomorrow morning.
A general discussion ensued which
took wide range.
Comrade p. III. Coney offered a resolu
ton asking the President TO remove the
Commissioner of Pensions, but was ruled
out on point of order.
Gen. SickleS made the point that the
law expressly made the President of IL e
United States responsible for the execution
OF the pension laws, and suggested that
the way was to carry the matter directly
to him.
After some further discussion the Ad-
Jutant-General was instructed to have
the matter put in type, and copy pre-
sented to every dlegate.
There was n general discussion as to
whether the report of the Committee should
be accompanied by resolution embodying
the conclusions arrived at by the Committee.
Motions were made to refer it to the Com
mlttee on Resolutions. to prepare Il suitable
resolution. Chairman Brown stated that
the Committee had tried 10 cover the whole
ground, and he pointed out that the con-
clusions had been so fully outlined that he
did not think that putting them in the form
of resolution would make them much
stronger Still. the Committee was the
servant of the Encampment, and was ready
10 carry ont it's wishes. 1t was finally de-
ciiej that the Committee had done so well
that it was best to leave the whole matter in
the hands of the Committee, and it was
therefore recommitted, with instructions to
prepare suitable resolutions
The Encampment then adjourned until
