CONCLUSION.
Comrades: It Is with mingled feeling of
pride and pain that X speak these final
words ns 1 am about to lay down tho
trust you placed In my hands one yonr
ago. Coming to this groat office a pri-
vate soldier of tho 00's without military
rank or famo won on fields of battle
I felt that m ybest sorvlcou woro de-
manded to provod myself worthy of tho
odgo tho good that has been dono by
fldnco of camrades and to meet tho do-
mands of my position In ns acceptable
a way as possible. My ambition has beon
to win your approval of my record at Its
oloso as "well done" and to this ond
I have devoted my whole energies. Tho
year has been both tho sweetest and sad-
dest of my life and the delight of my
election as your commander-in-ch'.of was
later chastened by tho death of my de-
vote! and noble wife. In tho valley of
siriuws I have preferred tho moaning
of thb- words "one i?k .' and h other
left" uno tl'j jt of t Lord his
been my consolation In the presence of
the majesty of what we can tienin. in
my affliction comrades the Woman's Re-
lief Corps the Ladles of the Grand Army
and other kindred orders of tho nation
have shown a sympathy and tendernos
that has touched me to tears again and
again.
We are all nenrlng the final sunsrt c
our lives and our work Is mainly done.
Lot us so llvons to Inspire our youth
-with safe ideals of patriotic love of
country; and thus secure the culture of a
citizenship worthy of our age; and ono
that will dominate all the future along
tho loftiest planes of enduring uuerty.
And now in fraternity charity and
loyalty with a full heart of gratitude
for the honors conferred and friendship
formed and with a deep and abiding af-
fection for our noble order. I wish your
every happiness and may God bless you
every one.
Yours faithfully In F. U. and L.
ALBERT D. SIIAW
Commandor-ln-Chlef.
As General Shaw resumed his seat
J. M. Lonunecker commander of the
Department of Illinois rose to greet
the veterans on behalf of the soldiers
of Ill.nois. He made a happy little
spech which evoked much applause.
General Louis Wagoner who responded
for the members of the army was no
loss felicltious in his reply expressing
the gratitude of his comrades to the
soldiers of Illinois. This closed the
meeting of the morning as immediately
after the concluson of General Wag-
oner's address he Commander Long-
necker Mayor Harrison and General
Shaw held an informal reception last-
ing half an hour.
Following the auaress oi ueueiai
Shaw came a long list of reports sub-
mitted by the minor officers and the
various committees of the organizat-
ion. The reports read were those of
the executive committee council of ad-
ministrator Adjutant General Stew-
art Quartermaster General Atkinson
Surgeon General Baker Chaplain-in-
Chief Grimm Judge Advocate uenerai
Torrance Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief
Minton Custodian Holcomb In-
spector General Cummins commL'tee
on legislation of veterans in public ser-
vice and of the committee on pension
legislation.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
When the convention met in the af-
ternoon the first thing taken up was
the report of the pension committee.
This would contain it was generally
thought some warm statements out
there were none. There was not in the
report a specific declaration or recom-
mendation. The committee at the out-
set went at length into the history of
the work done by the G. A. R. commit-
tees In obtaining from the last congress
increase In certain class of pensions. It
then discussed the difference of opinion
existing betwen the pension office and
those members of the Grand Army who
hold the opinion that the old soldiers
have not received sufficient consid
eration. The report argued at length
against the statements that had been
made by the pension office in reply to
the replies made by members of the
Grand Army but offered no sugges-
tions as to a direct line of policy to be
pursued.
It is expected that the work of the
encampment will be over by tomor-
row noon unless there should be a pro-
tracted debate over the report of the
pension committee and this Is not con-
sidered probable.

Tho conference committees of tho three
conventions mot at an early hour this
morning and it was ngreed after some
deliberation that the. democrats should
bo allowed to have tholr name at 'the
head of the fusion ticket. In addition
to agreeing-that tho ticket ahoultl be
called democratic tho I committee
agreed upon the following:
"That the union convention shall
consist of all delegates accredited on
the sevoral roll calls of tho three con-
ventions. "That the two-thirds rule shall pre-
vail in the nomination of candidates."
The first movement of importance In
tho union conventions was the nomina-
tions for congress. Col. F. C. Robert-
son the Rogers man. was offered: also
J. Ronald the anti-Rogers committee-
man. Three ballots were taken but
neither were enabled to capture the
necessary two-thirds vote. A mot on
was made that tho two men bo declared
the unanimous choice Cor conguss
The Rogers people were willing that
this should bo because-the noin'uation
of Robertson would mean the elimina-
tion of Voorhees from the gubernator-
ial race. For that reason the Ronald
supporters did not favor making the
election unanimous even though by so
doing they could land their man. They
were against Rogers and for Voor-
hees. Tho convention finally bowed to the
desire of the Rogers people and al-
lowed the nomination of Ronald and
Rogers to be made unanimous.
The platform adopted says among
other things:
We still believe In the declaration of
Independence and therefore hold It
aloft in preference to the Imperialistic
policy of the republican party.
We oppose trusts and combinations
which corner the products of Industry
and levy tribute on the people and we
denounce the republican policy which
corruptly creates and fosters these
harmful combinations. We are against
monopolies of all kinds and especially
view with the gravest concern the at-
ti'tude qf the republican administra-
tion in creating the greatest of all mon-
opolies In Its delegating to the nation-
banks the soverign right to make and
issue the people's money.
We denounce those twin relics of
oarbarism Imperialism and militarism
adopting their platform the convention
adjourned until evening.
After naming their congressman and
whether in the form of trusts at
home or greed of conquest abroad.
