His staff preceded the twenty carriages containing the war gov ernors and other honored guests. In the lead was one occupied by Mayor Francis and General Sherman. Then followed divisions of the Grand Army , ten In number. The depart ment ot Missouri , commanded by Colonel Nel son Cole , was elven the right of lino. As the column passed under the stained trlass trans parency of General Grant on Fourth street between Locust and ! Jt. Charles streets , all men uncovered their heads and passed by iu silence.

Hero and there throughout the different divisions marched a colored post aud tholr salute was invariably the sig nal for applause from those In the grand stand , which several times were taken up by the crowd and prolonged Into a hearty cheer. The dripping flags received much boisterous notice. Throughout the column an occasional warrior carried a cane or polo on which dangled a chicken , let : ol mutton , side of bacon , cabbage or some other representative of foraging expedition or commissary stores. At half-past 1 o'clock the Sons of Veterans brought.up the rear and the crowd made n rush for the grand stand to see and shake hands with "Uncle Billy.

Ir matters of pensions It bas been the aim o the order to have congress urant , relief fo the pressing needs of comrades. The gov eminent has responded In many Instances Influence has been brought to bear ou stati legislation and state soldiers' and orphans homes and laws for the temporary relief o Indigent soldiers and families nave bem passed.

The Gram Army will never consent that this questloi of pensions shall be classed among thos which men commonly call partisan. It ha bee > u for many years discussed by pos departments and national encampments Resolutions and addrcst.es have bee : adopted and published , petitions and appeal have often been sent to congress , the effort Df the newspapers ot the country ha\o beci inllsted aim with few exceptions < they hav heretofore been In full arcord with thoordei l'h ro has. been no clmnce of opinion o pMOf of laelhod Iu the rank * uf the Gr u L _ Army members.

This has been publicly ad. vocated and all men who cared to know have won fully aware of the action and yet until ceently tliereBhas been heard no ibjectlon to such measures. Hecauso others lava changed their minds the Grand Army net-d not therefore clmnire theirs. The paths n this direction have been straight. The order has diverged neither to the right or to ho left. Because comrades need help the hand Army will draw closer and closer to them. They shall not bo Inmates of common miiner houses , nor shall their widows and or- ihans If the Grand Army can prevent It What Is asked now In the way of general pensions has been asked for years. It Is not demanding too much. Many members are ol the honest opinion that it is not enough , favonng a broader measure of relief , which will crubraco all who have served a certain ength of time and can show an honorable discharge , commonly called the "Service Tension Hill. " General Falrchlld said he was not there to aruuu against that as an ul timate measure. Ho wished to do nothing to poitpono the coming of the long-commit lay of relief to the suffering. Ho assured the members of the Veterans' Rights union ; hat their kindly labors were fully appre ciated and coiiBtatulatcd them on their narked success In the direction of the en forcement of laws giving a preference for public service to ex-union soldiers. He was [ ) leased to bo able to report the benetlclent results of the operations ot the Woman's Itellef corps. The Grand Army did not Tail In the exorcise of a deep and tender interest in the Society ot the Sous of Veter ans. ans.In conclusion he said in nnrt : We have not now nor have \\e at any time since the war closed had any disposition to open again the bloody chasm which once unhappily di vided this people. We not only will not our selves reopen that dreadful ab > ss , but wes 111 , with loyal people north and south , protest against all attempts which others may make to do so by holding up for especial honor and distinction anything that pertains to or in any manner glorifies the cause of dissension. With the people of the south we only boek to continue a friendly rivalry long ago entered upon In an effort to make our beloved land great and prosperous , and its people Intelli gent , happy and virtuous. Wo will rival .hem in exalting nil that pertains to and honors this great union , and In condemning everything that tends tq foster hostile senti ment thereto. The position taken by the commander-ln- chief on the pension question was received with gieat favor and warm approval , and the kind but warm conclusion ot the address and ills allusions to the south met with a most hearty response. Comrade Thomas , of Illinois , presented In resolution , which was adopted under a sus pension of the rules , that a special commitce of seven be appointed and report to this en campment of the feasibility of accepting the Invitation of the trustees of thu Loati monument ment In Chicago for the co-operation of the G.

At 11:10 : the convention was called to order 'or a moment only to make the announce ment that all members ot the committee on resolutions were requested to meet at Gover nor Dorshelmer's room.

Gladstone's Tronchanv Rcrlevr of Dr. Ingrain's Allo 4 History * [ CopyiiuMftl IBS ? t > u Ja/nitt / Qonlon lltnnett ] LONDON , Sept. 29,4 a.m. fNow York Her ald Cable-Special to tha BEE.-Mr. | Glad stone contributes to the October Nineteenth Century a review of Dr. Ingrain's History of the Legislative Union of Great Britain. He condemns the book as no history at all , and proceeds to meptlon two difficulties In the way ot any history of the subject be ing produced. The first Is that the records of the Irish government for thirty years before the union are kept a secret , pre served In the home oillce and access to them refused. The second difficulty Is Irreparable. "Thero has been , " savs Mr. Gladstone , "something npproactilng to a systematic de struction , by the Individuals concerned in the union t > r confidentially acquainted with Its history , of papers throwing light on its progress. " "Tho Inference , " he continues , "la nearly Inevitable that the history of the union has been so cxceptlonably black , It must be bid den. Apparently In preparation for carrying the proposal to establish the union , now aid olllces wore created aud salaried and de pendent members of the Irish parliament multiplied. After the first rejec tion of the measure ) the Irish parlia ment was threatened by tlio British govern ment with a reiteration of the proposal 'till It should bo adopted. A challenge to appeal to constituencies on the question was refused , the habeas corpus act suspended and martial laws cruelly enforced. The Roman Catholic nobility and gentry were Inveigled by prom ises of emancipation Into neutrality or sup port. The Roman Catholic bishops encouraged the belief .that after the union the state would directly support the church. Parliamentary Intimidations and bribery were practiced on an unexampled scale , and all thcso accusations of foul play against the methods and agencies which brought about the union are painfully sustained by the evi dence before us of tlio oxcosslvo destruction of documents and papers by the persons principally concerned and means adopted by the British government to prevent , at the the cost of the state , compromising publica tions , " The paper may bo called ono of uncom promising criticism and is Indubitably ono of the most successful efforts of Mr. Glad stone's pen which In this Instance was as sharp as the axe with which ho fells trees. Why Hewitt and Urovor Are Out. [ CupvrfuM ISVttuJMnu Qoiilan Bennett. ] Loxnox , Sopt. 23.-lNow York Herald Cablegram-Special to the BKK.J Whllo New York Is supplying London with yacht n ews , the latter con supply the former with political homo news of a novel character. Thus to-day's Court and Society Review has this paragraph : "It has leaked out that Mr. Hewitt , mayor of New York , has couoelved a strong per sonal dislike to President Cleveland , whom he rudely describes as a bo vine and adipose. It seems that on a recent occasion , when Mrs. Cleveland was Invltod by the civic au thorities to present certain colors to the fireman , the president was quite Ignored. Mrs. Cleveland thereupon promptly de clined the Invitation. Mayor Hewitt , who la alive to < n certain re semblance between hlkvjwn personal ap pearance and an accented portrait of the great Cardinal Rlchelimi , has a thorough con tempt for the popular democratic president , either as a diplomatist or as a man of affairs. 'What has ho done , ' asked this modern Casius. 'On what meat hath this our Caesar fed that ho hath grown so great ? ' Yet for all this , knowing ones assert that Cleveland la sure to be electsd for a second term.

In this matter ho did not lie. lie made his word eood. General Drum Is a gallant old \eteran , and 1 have no desire to intagonl/u so distinguished a man , but ho Is 'way off his base. ' " "In what way Is ho oil his base' " ' "In two"ways : First , When ho says I was worried by drink. I do not admit that I am worried. My brain Is as clear and my body as sound as they ever were. 1 was convicted of two drunks Inside of half an hour. With my record of twenty-llvo yeir.s 1 had every reason to expect clemency. I have been told jy an ollicer of high standing that I was not put out on the record of my court but ou clandestine letters that were furnished since my trial. These papers are on lilo in the oillce of thu acting judge advocate of the army , and altliough 1 applied for them , I have not been permitted to see them. A train , the general talks ot a matter he knows noth ing of when ho talks of drinking in the army. He knew and saw what was going on. Now that tils duties confine him to Washington , what does he know of the habits of officers at remote posts ? If an ollicer Is court-martialed lie hears of It , or. perhaps , ho learns through an Inspector that such an olllcer Is addicted to drink , but , as n rule , otllcors keep'shady' when thu Inspector Is on deck. Hitherto 1 have not said a word about thu army. " "You don't mean to say that drlnkln ? , us charged , Is prevalent in the army at this time , do you ? " "No. I don't mean to say that drinking Is excessive among the olllcors , but I do say Unit fully three-fourths of them drink , and who of these can plead 'not guilty' to one or more drinks V No army In the world was over better ofllcured than Is our little army to-day , and yet to say that they all wear the blue ribbon is simply to deny facts and ex pose ouo's ignorance. In conclusion , let mo say that I would have pain no attention to this article had not the general in his re marks led the public to believe that I am a common drunkard , and this I indignantly deny. It took our blue ribbon army ofllccrs twenty-live years to discover in inu a single case of drunk on duty , and , strange to say , my court found me entity of drunk ou duty when I was neither drunk or on duty and acquit me of drunkenness when I was drunk.
