RESOLUTIONS OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT. GRANT

ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
Danvle, Ill, May 19-The Illinois Department Of
the G. A. r.. at its annual encampment held IN
this city passed resolutions indorsing President
Mckinley. The resolutions were received with
cheers and passed with enthusiasm. Beginning
with the pledge OF loyalty and support to the
Government. they read:
while we recognize TO its fullest extent the
right Of American citizens 10 free speech and a
fair discussion OF all questions of public policy we
deprecate and unqualIfedly condemn all utterarces
Of public speech, from any source Whatever, which
have a tendency 10 create dissatisfaction or dis
content among our soldiers sailors to invite
insurrection rebellion among the natives or in
habitants OF our recently acquired possessions
yield respectful obedience to constituted authority
and stand unhesitatingly by the flag OF our coun-
try wherever Il floats. We and the men for whom
speak have faith in the wisdom. patriotism and
fidelity OF Comrade Mckinley. the same we did
when, soldiers OF the Republic. in arms for the
preservation Of the National Union, had i'm
plict faith In Abraham Lincoln and we have no
fear that from any act Of his imperialism or mill
tarism will ever be imposed upon the American
people
Following this comes an acknowledgment Of
pride in the achievements of Dewey and the heroes
of Santiago. Then come these words:
We look upon the resistless march OF our
heroic Army in our Philippine possessions tha I
civilization which has made us free men. II Is a
place of enforced serviity to irresponsible and
heartless rulers It also means free eelf-govern-
ment for those people at the earliest moment they

THE GOVERNOR WAS NOT THERE.
UNABLE TO REVIEW THE sENENTY-FlRSI
REGIMENT BECAUSE OF OTHER
ENGAGEMENTS.

Governor Roosevelt caused some disappointment
last night when he did not appear at the rst
Regiment armory and review the regiment AFTER
the mimic battle of San Juan. 1nat the Governor
would be present was extensively published ny
Conpanes E and and members Of the I'd Bat
terry and elaborate preparations had been made TO
receive the States chief Executive.
A reviewing stand was erected. and II was draped
heavily with the National colors The battle nass
were brought out TO be carried IN triumphant pro-
cession before the Governor. The Governor, how
ever wrote that other engagements made It mpos-
sihle for him 10 attend Instead. he commissioned
Acknowledgement Avery d. Andrews to represent
him. and General Andrews occupied seat IN the
reviewing stand and witnessed the battle.
Governor Roosevelt sent the following letter TO
Lieutenant John NJ. Thompson. OF Company X, the
officer having the arrangements in charge:

ernor is a very busy man. and it is physically I'M
possible for any man 70 occupy two places al the
