EFFECTIVE ACTION.
The state Grand Army encampment of
1887 met in this city Feb. 10 and IL
- after the election Of 1856. The mon
ument was the one thing before it.
Every delegate was in earnest for having
the State aid in building the monument.
On the second day of the session the en-
campment, as a body. went from its hall
TO the Legislature and there pressed it's
claim. 1t was a remarkable procession, so
much so that these who were in it now
speak of it with enthusiasm. 1t was headed
by the department commander, Gen. Thorn
as w. Bennett, and was formed by Col. l..
n. Walker and others, and numbered about
500. In the column were many prominent
men, including Col. Eli Lilly. General Man.

Thousands of spectators applauded the col

veterans to the StatehOuse. Small part of
that body of men could get inside the
chambers of the legislative body, but every
inch of available space was packed, while
all the approaches to both halls were filled
with eager people. The House was first

an end in the House, the veterans visited
the Senate, where Senator Mcdonald, who
had ~charnpioned the proposition in the Sem
ate. spoke the word of welcome.
Speaking for the Grand Army in both
branches General Bennett briefly but elo-
quently urged the building of the monu-
ment as a tribute to the patriotism and
valor of the dead, and set forth the value
of the memorial as a silent teacher of
patriotism to future generations.
If there had been any doubt regarding
the passage of the bill before this visit of
the Grand Army there was none after. In

the attention of Mr.. English TO the fact
that early in the year 1872 Mr.. English
conferred with General Kimball and others
as to the importance and the duty of the
State and Of citizens to honor the memory
OF Indiana soldiers by building a monu-
ment. The result OF that conference was
that Mr.. English drew a set of resolutions
which General Kimban presented to the
vast conccurse OF people assembled TO
decorate the graves Of soldiers buried in
Crown Hill Cemetery, May 20. 1872. These
resolutions were unanimously adopted and
