Resolutions were adopted to the end that the Government should grant Western land to tbe war veter- ai s and advanoe passage money and a means for working tbe land. The movers of tbe resolution will attempt to secure the endorsement of the United Labor party. General and ex-Congressman Bragg of Wisconsin Is complaining that it was his speech In support of tbe Presi­ dent's pension bill veto that led to his being tbe only officer of the Iron Bri­ gade not re-elected id Milwaukee Wednesday. We <fo not consider Gen. Bragg entitled to the privilege of complaint. There are a great many Grand Army men in tbe Iron Brigade, and we can very well understand bow they would do all In their power to in­ dicate resentment of the coarse and abusive epithets heaped on the sol diers by General Bragg on the floor of tbe House of Representatives last spring.--Bottom Advertiser. The people of the country able to free themselves from the bias of par­ tisanship conceded long ago that the responsible membership of tbe Na­ tional G. A. R., better than any other body of men, were In position to judge intelligently as to the needs of pension legislation. If'it shall prove that the G, A. R. organization ts sub­ stantially a unit in favor of tbe pen­ sion bill which its executive commit­ tee lately framed, aod which IS to be submitted to tbe next Congress, then the popular *entimeat also will favor the passage of that measure; because the people at large rely upon the old soldiers to be just to tbe country and to the public treasury not less than to their war worn and Impoverished oom Ex-IJnion Prisoners of War. At tbe annual reunion of the Nation* al Association of ex-Union Prisoners of War, which was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 22 and 93. delegates were present from California. New Jersey, District of Columbia, Pennsyl­ vania, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and New York. John McElroy of Washington, D. CL, presided. The meeting was very harmonious and the best of feeling prevailed as wis shown by the accounts, published la the daily papers. We quote from "the Chicago Inter Ocean: ratst DAT. Among the many interesting talks made wan that of General C. W. Pavey of Mount Vernon, 111. He said be was an ex-prisoner, and belonged to an association, and they were all mighty good fellows. They were not cap tured in tbe rear guard among the baggage wagons, but out fighting for tbe old flag. He thought they all Ahould have pensions, but saw little hope of it while there was a man at the bead of the Interior Department whom they bad all tried to kill. "It's a pity we didn't, too," he added in an undertone. He said they had laid down South there In these sink-holes of damnation, sucking air to kbep from starving, and tbe men now at the head of things were men who had starved them. This was met by up- rearous cheers, as was the allusion to Secretary Lamar, He was going to stand by the boys and always wanted to be considered one of them, but 'just now," he said, "if we should get a pension bill through some son-ot-a- gun would veto it. I am not in favor of veto messages on pension bills and don't indorse the policy which dictates them. I wish I was Presideat for three months. I would sit down on Lamar and ask who was in the war. Show me your discharge, whether white or black, and a pension for ev­ ery honorably discharged man. 1 would call the roll and if one alphabet was not enough make another, only asking, 'Did you hold up the flag?' and then I would commence dumping out this surplus there is so much oompiaint about. The prisoners of war are ,the ones who need pensions more than any one.1 He referred further to their troublous times in the prisons of tbe South, when their pants were all gone and their stomachs continually empty, and thanked God that they were spared to complain of It. Gen. L'avey was very bitter in hie contemptuous allusions to John Winder, as the greatest scoundrel ot the lot, and said it was nat with him a question to politics, but ot rellglou In all this matter. President McElroy Joined la de­ nouncing Winder, as did several otb- It, but was such a little seeuadrei com­ pared to the others that he should have gone free If they did, He said Beelzebub fortunately took Winder, but must have taken him to the hot­ test place he had. He spoke of tbe "mesh and gush" reunion of the blue and gray al Ooeao Grove, and very contemptuously referred to their eulogy of Howell Cobb as a "Christian: gentleman," when tbey all remem­ bered when that Christian gentleman could have saved thousands of lives by one little sot of kindness to tbe prison­ ers. Among those present are General W. H. Powell, commanding tbe cavalry division of Gen. Sheridan's corps;; Gen. E. L. Hayes, of New York, and; the Hon. Ivory Pike. Many more del­ egates are expected to join to-day the 100 already present, and tbe pension resolutions and other matters Jiltt M debated at leogtb. * / SECOND DAT, J ' fi ; The ex-prisoners of war rei-oon- vened at tbe Grand Paolflo at 10:30 yesterday morning. The committee on pensions, E. H. Williams of Indiana, chairman, re-j ported the draft of a bill which wis unanimously adopted. By the termat of t ie bill tbe secretary ef the Inter-8 tor was directed to place upon the pen-^ slon roll the names of all surviving; officers and enlisted men, Including! sailors, marines, mllltla, and volun-^ teers who served In tbe late war or tbe rebellion aod who were prisoners of war. It provides for those confined in rebel prisons nluety days a quarter pension; for 120 days oue-half pension; for 270 days, three-quarter pension and bey< nd that time a full pension Proof of having been a prisoner of war to be accepted as sufficient ground for granting the pensions. If was further provided • that this bill should not be construed to allow more than one pension tu any one person. Also that all prisoners should in addi­ tion, reoelve $2 a day for each and every day during which they were Im­ prisoned, It was ordered that tbe draft of tbls bill should be sent to every G. A. R. Post In the country, and that they be asked to vote upon it. A oommlttee of three was also appointed to present the bill to tbe National Encampment G. A. R. for endorsement and recom* mendatlon. At the afternoon session the consti­ tution and by-laws were amended so as to change the name of the organi­ zation to' Union Ex-prlsoners of War" and to leave out the state organization and make the local orders directly responsible to the National organlza- 11 General W. H. Powell, of Belleville. Ill,, was unanimously elected Presi­ dent. He was tbe commmander of the Second Cavalry Division of the caval­ ry corps of tbe Army of the Shenan­ doah. A. T. Decker, of New York was elected First Vice President, and Sec­ ond Vice Presidents were named by the chairman were named from each of tbe States represented or having local organizations. Tbe executive committee, besides the President, are,. John MoElroy, T. H. McKee, District of Columbia; W. D. Lucas, Des Moines; John H. Pike, Bloomington. C. C. McCabe was elect­ ed chaplain, aod Frank E, Moran. his­ torian. , . A resolution was passed directing the Secretary to correspond with all the Republican congressmen and get tbelr opinions upon this bill, and the Secretary's salary was made §300 a of New York, was as ffol!dws:< "Thai wo consider the rel captured during the war tf belllon sboQtd bs M4 s*a ~ National Government that orations may know if ' deeds of tbe thousands sf diers who lost tbelr llvea the Union, and that the the United States should the law by displaying then public plaoa." This was passed with _ Ity, there being oaly voices In the yote upon It. Washington, Chteago, and Ii oils were presented for the asSt of meeting.
