STANLEY NOT DIscoNcERTED
Says Introduction of a Resolution
Commending His Action Was
n Mistake


TOPEKA, April 2s.-(special) The action
Of the G. A. r. encampment at Hutchin-
son in tabling resolution thanking Gov
ernor Stanley for his generous treatment
Of the old soldiers in the selection of ap-
pointments does not disconcert the gov
ernor in the least. "It was an indiscre-
ton to present such a resolution" said
the governor, to-day. II never asked that
it be done; on the contrary, told some of
my friends that, il such a thing was sug-
gested. to discourage It. Judge Cunning
ham, who introduced the resolution, is a
warm friend of mine but he did not know
my feelings in the matter and his appre-
citation of my efforts in behalf of the old
soldiers led him to do it. The Introduction
of a resolution of that kind tends to drag
politics into the G. A. R., and for that
reason it should not have been done. My
action in giving old soldiers the preference
in appointments was taken not only be-
cause I am friend of the veterans, but
because made promise of that kind
during the campaign and because the state
law says that governor shall give old
soldiers the preference. 1 have not only
carried out my personal desires in the
matter. but also my promise, and have re-
spected the law"

SHAW CANNOT co.
He Will BE Unable to BE In ,Frisco
when Soldiers Reach There,

Des Moines, Sept. 1s.-It is certain
that Governor Shaw will be unable to
go to San Francisco to welcome the
Fifty-first if the regiment shall return
about the middle of October, as now
appears likely. 1t had been hoped that
the governor would be able to repre-
sent the state on the occasion of the
regiments return. State Auditor Mer-
Ram will go to the coast to meet the
boys, and the report was current at
the state house this morning that
Governor Shaw will commission the
state auditor to represent the state at
the welcoming. 1t is impossible to say
at this time when the troops will
reach San Francisco. Much depends
on the air and tide. If the weather
proves favorable the journey ought to
be made in three weeks, but storms
would send the transports out of their
course and cause some days delay. The
authorities feel that they will be bet
ter able to name the date of arrival in
San Francisco when the time of the
regiments departure from Honolulu
shall be made known.
