Headquarters Department of Indiana, 1 Grand Army of the Republic, >■ Fkankkort, Ind., April 4, 1893. J Comrades — The generous greeting you have received at the hands of the patriotic citizens of Fvansville tells yon in language that can not lie mistaken that the Union Veterans have a warm place in the hearts of the people of Indiana. We pause here to make acknowledgments to our Father in Heaven for His goodness and mercy that has followed and protected us during the year, and which enables so many of us to meet here in our Fourteenth Annual Encampment. In the spirit of true fraternity I greet each one of you. We meet here in this beautiful city, in the midst of peace and plenty, to once more renew our devotion to the principles, in defense of which all our patriot dead gave up their lives, to once more exchange fraternal greetings and to deliberate for the future welfare and glory of the Grand Army of the Republic. I congratulate you upon the zeal, efficiency and devotion of our comrades to the principles of the Order, and their increasing interests in its wel fare. acknowledgment. I desire to make acknowledgment to the Department Officers and Council of Administration for the great assistance they have rendered me. Special mention must be made of Comrades Irvin Robbins, Assist GRAND ARMY OF TUB REPUBLIC. 103 ant Adjutant-General, and (). K. Weaver, Assistant Quartermaster-Gen eral. There are no more efficient officers, and this Department is under special obligations to them for duties cheerfully and faithfully per formed. The thanks of the Department is due to the staff' for their labors in behalf of the Order and to the comrades for their generous as sistance and loyal support. Whatever of success has come to this Order during the year is due to these persons named. SENIORITY OF DEPARTMENTS. This question remains unsettled. At the National Encampment at Washington last September the question was continued, and a new com mittee appointed with instructions to examine and report their finding to the Encampment at Indianapolis next September. I appointed Past Department Commander Carnahan, who was familiar with all the facts, and who had heretofore prepared a brief, to present our case before the committee at its meeting in Milwaukee next June. Our cause will be in good bands, besides Comrade Carnahan lias an abiding faith in the justice of our claim. I renew the recommendation of my predecessor, that we recognize the first five Department Encampments and that this be called the Nineteenth instead of the Fourteenth Encampment. Whenever the curative relief is granted this, that has been given to other Departments, this result must follow. PERMANENT HEADQUARTERS. The necessity for a permanent home for the valuable records of this Department, where they can be safely kept, must be apparent to every comrade. Information comes to me that the State House Custodian claims that the order made some years ago assigning a room in the State House for G. A. K. Headquarters is obsolete, and that an act of the Legislature setting it apart will be necessary. Until such time as this can be secured, the purchase of a fire-proof safe in which to keep the most valuable records and property is respectfully recommended as absolutely necessary for the proper protection of our records. DE PA RTM ENT FI N ANCKS. The report of the Assistant Quartermaster-General will present to you in detail the condition of finances. The creation of the State Soldiers' Home Committee, called for an additional outlay this year to pay their expenses in making the location. An earnest effort has been made to enforce economy. The following is the briefest statement that can be made of its condition : 1(14 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, Cash on hand per last report $1,470 64 Receipts from all sources during year (i,712 68 Total $8,183 32 Erpendihim. Total amount of expenditures during year 5,888 82 Balance of cash on hand . . . • §2,294 50 Aitselx. Amount of first mortage loans $5,900 00 Interest due to January 1, 1893, unpaid 203 60 Cash on hand 2,294 50 Supplies and furniture 471 52 Total assets of Department $8,869 62 This statement gives an increase of $823.86 in the funds of the De partment during the year, and must be a source of gratification to every delegate. MKMIIKUSIIII'. During the year eight Posts have been organized, or reorganized, and the same number have surrendered their charters, leaving the number of Posts the same as last year. I regret to state that the efforts made to in crease the membership of the Order has not been crowned with success. There »re two reasons for the failure: FirM, the work of squaring ac counts, commenced in 1 8S'l, was carried forward through the year 1892. Second, the effect of a National election campaign is seen in the neglected attendance, and consequent failure to pay dues, by which our suspended list increased from 4.071 January 1, 18112, to 4,703 January 1, 1893. The total membership January 1, 1892, was 28,687, and on January 1, 1893, it was 28,612. indicating a loss of only 75; while the membership upon which the per capita tax is paid was, on January 1, 1892, 24,670, and on January 1, 1893, it was 23,909, a loss of paying membership of 761. Deducting from this loss our death loss, 403, it shows that 358 comrades have been suspended for non-payment of dues in addition to those represented by new members. I am informed that our loss is greater than any department in the country. Notwithstanding this loss I feel confident that the work that is now being done, a work that must be increased each month until after the National Encampment, will change this loss to a gain at the end of June, when the reports for the first half of 1893 are made out. There GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. II)') are two facts to which 1 desire to call the special attention of every dele gate and comrade in the Encampment on this question of membership: First, that our suspended membership January 1, 1893, amounted to 4,703. Second, that ">6,ol6 Indiana Union soldiers were on the pension rolls and paid February 4, 1893, at the Indianapolis agency, while the paying membership of the (i. A. K. January 1 — one month before the last pay day — was only 23,909, or only 42.3 per cent, of the Union sol diers who are pensioners in this department. From the best information I can obtain, I am justified in stating that there are 65,000 Union veterans in the State. On that basis only 36.7 per cent, of them are members of this Order, that has, from its organiza tion, battled for the material welfare of Union soldiers and sailors. Here is our field for labor. Let us here and now pledge ourselves to make an open, aggressive campaign, until we reclaim all upon the sus pended list, and persuade those who have never become members to join with us. Self-preservation is not only the first, it is the highest law of Nature. If we shall fail to see and know that every consideration of self-preservation demands that we unite all eligible soldiers and sailors in the G. A. K., we need not be surprised to hear, on every side, that the old soldier has had bis day that he is even now a back number. I plead with you to go out into the ranks of the 37,000 Indiana Union veterans who are not members, and anions; the 4,703 suspended mem bers, ami bring them by companies, regiments, brigades, and even corps, into our Posts. This is the imperative duty of the hour, comrades of the Department of Indiana. woman's relief corps. The Woman's Relief Corps have enjoyed a year of unprecedented prosperity. They present an increased membership, number of Corps and work. I take pleasure in congratulating the Corps upon their record and hereby express the hope that the coming year may bring to them an increased prosperity in every branch of their patr otic and charitable work. God bless the Woman's Relief Corps of Indiana. SONS OF VETERANS. Colonel McGuire, the splendid Commander of this organization re ports that when he assumed command there was found a deplorable condition of the finances, and a lack of interest that nearly appalled him. Possessing thorough business qualifications and tireless energy, he has inspired confidence and enthusiasm, until he expresses the hope that a brighter and better era awaits that organization, and that they are now on the highway to a systematic and permanent prosperity. May I be permitted to suggest, that every soldier and sailor in this Depart ment h:: ; a personal interest in the success of the Sons of Veterans, and FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, that each one of us should do our full share of the duties required in order to engraft that organization into the hearts and consciences of our people. Let us in every possible way sustain those who are work ing with zeal for its welfare. PATRIOTISM IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The action of the Twenty-sixth National Encampment in reference to setting apart one school day each year in our public schools to the singing of patriotic songs, recitations and address of a patriot nature, together with the hoisting of the stars and stripes over the school- houses, was duly observed in the public schools of this department last October. The custom of raising the flag over the school-houses having preceded the order several years. This department owes a debt of gratitude to Comrade Wallace Foster, of Indianapolis, for his work in this most worthy cause, Ho was the John in the Wilderness, pro claiming the advent of this patriotic custom. Indiana is at the front in this great work. The children will be taught the true lesson of patriotism from our war for independence, and from the great war of IStil— "> waged to preserve the Nation our fathers established, and to make their dream of human liberty protected by law a living reality. Posts should see that the home school or schools keep up this custom from year to year until it shall become one of the indispensable require ments of our admirable school system. Let us guard with jealous care this feature of the education of the children of the State. PENSIONS. The charge is made by the enemies of the pension system that there are fraudulent pensioners on the rolls, and that other pensioners are drawing more money than they are entitled to under existing laws. Commander-in-Chief Weissert, in a recent order, has called attention to this serious charge, and has commanded ollicers and comrades to make careful investigation in each community, and report every case where even the semblance of fraud appears; therefore, in obedience to this order, and in compliance with my own convictions, I urge upon the comrades of this department, the duty of exposing every fraud, should any be found. Let us see to it that no reproach from this source is ever brought upon Indiana, one of whose sons was the first, and another the last, to die in battle in defense of the Union. The Government is liberal to our disabled comrades. The great sum of i?l(i6,oOO,000 is appropriated for the year commencing July 1, 181(3. We owe a duty to ourselves and to oui country to know that every dollar paid out in this department goes to the patriotic purpose for which it was appropriated, to care for him who is wounded or broken in health, and to his widow and orphan. The law authorizes the appointment of a GRAND ARMY Of THE REPUBLIC. 107 guardian for the habitual drunkard. Pension money should not be per mitted to go to the saloon through this channel. We can do no less than to see to it that every habitual drunkard pensioned comrade in this department has a guardian appointed, so that his pension can go to the purpose for which it is granted. A thousand times better, my comrades, that all frauds, if any shall be found to exist, be exposed by us than by the enemies of the pension system, and that this order shall enforce the law in cases of habitual drunkards who are pensioners, so that this patriotic appropriation of the people's money shall not be squandered in riotous living. We can not fail to realize that there is an increasing public sentiment against pensions. This sentiment originated and exists in the South, and in the money centers of the East. I long for a service pension. It is the most just system — will reach all, and give at least partial recog nition to every honorably discharged soldier; but we shall indeed be fortunate if, under the pressure of the sentiment against pensions, we can maintain the present pension laws. Let every comrade in this de partment do his whole duty on this pension question. I am indebted to Comrade Ensley, Pension Agent, for the official statement of number of pensioners and amount of pension money paid in Indiana for the year ending March 4, 1893: Soldiers. General Law 40,701 Act of June, 1890 15,815 War of 1812 1 Mexican War . . 617 Indian Wars 10 Total soldiers 57,144 Total Union soldiers 56,516 Widows. General Law 0,350 Act of 1891 2,286 War of 1812. 241 Mexican War . . . 339 Indian Wars 3 Total widows 9,219 Children. General Law 3,824 Act of 1890 1,782 Total children 5,606 103 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, Dependent Parents. General Law 2,075 Act of 1890 561 Total dependent parents 2,636 Total number of pensioners, ineluding children 73,705 The amount paid out for pensions for the year ending March 4, 1893, was SI 1, 941, 195.31, a sum of money equivalent to about $4.50 each year for every man, woman and child in the State. The mere statement of this fact is conclusive evidence of the measure of relief that is afforded to the 73,705 pensioners in our State. The amount paid aver ages $162.0] a year to the total number of pensioners in the State. Other States may not fare as well. Justice demands that this be said, that Indiana pensioners are, as a rule, well provided for. Comrade Ensley, the present efficient pension agent for this State, is entitled to the thanks of all comrades for his efforts in their behalf. THE STATE SOLDIERS' IIOMK. The committee appointed to secure donations of land and money and locate a State Soldiers' Home, have performed that duty with commend able success. After a thorough investigation of the various propositions made, and locations tendered, they decided in favor of the one made by the city of Lafayette and Tippecanoe County. This offer consisted of the conveyance to this organization by the city of Lafayette, county of Tippecanoe and Comrade R. P. Dellart, of 247 acres of land and §5,650 in money. This land is on the west side of the Wabash River, about three miles from the city, and on the road that leads to the Tippecanoe battle ground. It is in the midst of the most romantic scenery in that section and is as healthy a location as could be found in the State. The committee, in describing it, say : "From the pike there is a gradual .elevation of about one hundred and twenty-live feet to a beautiful plateau of fully 120 acres. From the south-east corner of this plateau, at what has been called Prospect Point, there is a landscape view of the river, the city and country, which, for beauty and grandeur, is simply indescribable. There is a luxurious growth of forest trees upon the entire tract," and I want to add, if the State shall do its duty in aid of this patriotic cause, it can be made one of the loveliest spots on this continent — an earthly paradise for our old and helpless comrades, their wives and widows. Every comrade, in and out of the G. A. R., will regret that the recent Legislature failed to accept our offer of the land and money, and make a proper appropriation for its establishment. The General Government makes an appropriation of one hundred dollars a year for each old soldier cared for in these State Homes, so GRAND ARMY OF THE BKPUBLIC that its cost should not prevent favorable action by the State. I believe when we reach the hearts of our people, as we must, that the response will be both prompt and favorable to this work which lies so near our hearts. I ask for the report of this committee the most thoughtful consideration. May we not all hope that those of our comrades who are blest with means will come to the front with liberal aid to this Home, so that we can make a splendid report of progress to the next Legislature in practical work soldiers' and sailors' orphan home. This institution, the pride of every Indiana Veteran, is in a most prosperous condition. The officers and managers are wise, patriotic, Christian men and women, whose hearts are in the great work of caring for and educating the orphans of our patriot dead. No one can over estimate the value of their services to these wards of the Order. I had the pleasure of attending the dedication of Lincoln Hall, the elegant new chapel, the corner stone of which was laid on the .'Jd of November, 1801, with appropriate ceremonies in the presence of a vast concourse of comrades and citizens. This hall will be of great value to the institu tion. I do not hesitate after a thorough investigation to challenge com parison in management with any public institution in the country. I sincerely trust that the present efficient Board of Trustees, Officials and Superintendent may be continued in office. They are the right persons in the right place. The following comrades compose the Board of Visitors into whose charge was intrusted the interests of the Home this year: James B. Black, Benjamin Starr, Richard M. Smock, Wm. I>. Mull, Geo. D. Adams, A. (). Marsh, T. E. Howard, David C. Smith, John Y. Hitt. Comrade James B. Black, President of the Board, who has devoted yeais of study to this institution, will report what has been accom plished this year and the future needs of the Home. THE SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' MONUMENT. The comrades are familiar with the efforts made to secure the erection of a monument that should stand in honor of our dead who died in the great war of 1861-5. You know that at last, in 1887, the State Legisla ture made an appropriation of §200,000 to be used in connection with the funds then donated for that purpose, or the funds that might there after be donated, to build a suitable State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monu ment. The records of this body show that the State Encampment of 1887 visited both Houses of the Legislature, then in session, and filed a memorial from the Encampment, and a resolution of a State soldiers' 110 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, meeting, asking the legislature to appropriate #"200,000 to aid in build- ing a monument in honor of our dead who died in the war of 1801 -o. The official records of that Legislature show clearly that the act of 1887 was passed because you, my comrades, petitioned and demanded that it he done. Gentleman of the highest character have told me that they were members of the Legislature; that they were present when the bill was considered; were present when the G. A. K. Encampment visited the Legislature; that they were present when the bill was discussed and the vote taken, and that they know it was passed because the soldiers of Indiana wanted them to pass it. That it was intended to be in honor of Indiana Union sold id's, and no others ; that no other soldiers were thought of; that no other war than that of 1801-5 was talked about or thought of when they were considering the act of 1887. So that I am justified in saying that the great monument was then intended to be— by the legis lature that authorized its construction and made an appropriation of $200,000 to pay for it — a State Monument, erected to the memory of Indiana soldiers and sailors who died in defense of their country in the great war of 1861-5. To prove beyond question this fact I shall quote from the speeches made in the Legislature of 1887 by three members of the Senate and four members of the House. Many others could be quoted, but space forbids. These men voiced the sentiments of all the members- the Senate vote being unanimous in favor of the bill — forty- five Senators being present and voting; and the vote in the House being for the bill 81; against it, 15 four members being absent. The votes aga'nst it in the House being cast against it because the members favored the building of a Home, instead of a Monument, or because they favored a Memorial Hall. Let us now examine the speeches. Senator Sears said: "The remarks I shall make this morning will be simply directed to the part the soldiers from this Commonwealth took in the crushing of the mightiest rebellion known in modern times. The men whose memories we propose to perpetuate by the passage of this bill, composed a part of the great army that went forth from our own beloved State. From the first campaign in Western Virginia to the campaign which resulted so gloriously in the surrender of the armies of Lee and Johnston the flag of Indiana was borne with gallant hearts and stout arms to triumph and to victory." He closed as follows: "Now, Mr. President, in view of these facts, in view of the history our Common wealth has made in this war, I ask on behalf of the soldiers of Indiana that the rules be suspended in order that this bill may be read a second time by title, a third time by sections, and placed on its passage now. Pass this bill, appropriate the money to erect this monument, plant its base broad and deep, let it tower toward Heaven, and on its summit plant the old Hag these men loved so well in their life time, and inscribe upon it in letters of living light. This is done by the grateful people of the grand old Commonwealth of Indiana, to commemorate the sacrifices and death of her sons that the nation might live." GRAND ARMY OK THE REPUBLIC. 1 I I Senator McDonald said: "I hope no one will vote against this hill because it proposes a large expenditure of money. There are about 18,000 of the hoys in the membership of the G. A. R. now, a great many of whom went out as privates When they came home they were taxed to pay for soldiers' bounties. They walked up and paid them after serving three or four years in the Army. Is there any injustice or any w rong in the soldiers who went out and did their duty in the field ask ing that the people of this great State shall pay for the Monument." lie closed in these words, ''1 hope this Senate, of which I am proud to bj a member, in the glorious edifice erected by the people of this grand State, will vote unanimously for the bill." Senator Marshall said: "208,000 soldiers left Indiana from 18(51 to 1805. The proposition is to appropriate S200,000 for the erection of a monument, which is about one dollar a piece to those men. We find that about 24,000 who died on the field of battle, and if we do this to the memory of those who died, it is about $8 to each of them. Now, the question is for the great loyal State of Indiana, a State which feels as proud of her veteran as any State in this Union, is it consistent, is it right, to go ahead and appropriate the sum of S8 a piece to the memory of those men who died that we might have a Nation." I may add, the Senate thought it was eminently right, for the vote was unanimously in favor of the appropriation. Mr. Link, of the House said: "I feel that when a man speaks against this hill he speaks against those who made it possible for .us to have a government. The soldiers do not want a home. They want a monument. This is a duty we owe to the soldiers. It is a duty we owe to the people of Indiana. The poor South, scarcely able to main tain herself, has built monuments in every large city: and shall we he li hind them '.' We have delayed this long enough." Mr. (lough said : " I would like to see such a shaft erected at this capital to commemorate the deeds of the dead, but I say it is not now- good policy, and for that reason I will oppose the hill. There may a time come, and the time will come, when we could consistently do this." Mr. Griffith said: "The gentleman from Warrick (Mr. (Jough) asks what good a monument could do, and says that it is a mere sentiment. My answer to that is that'a monument will commemorate the virtues of the men who were w illing when this nation was in the throes of a great death struggle, to go forth and battle for the salvation of the Union. It is true that the soldiers of the late war do not need a monument in stone or bronze or marble to perpetuate their virtues, but this is no reason why the people of Indiana should hesitate longer to build this monument." Mr. Gardiner said : " It is said that afterwhile will do to build this monument. This afterwhile is like the children's to-morrow, it never comes. For a quarter of a century the brave boys, 200,000 strong, that went to battle for their country, of which 20,000 of them have never 112 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, returned, and whose bleached bones lie scattered all over the South, have waited for the people of Indiana to build a monument in memory of the deeds done by these glorious heroes of the State. The plea is to day, "let us wait still longer." When will the time come that the Leg islature shall be ready by its unanimous voice to build a monument to commemorate the deeds of our heroic dead ? There was a time, when that grand leader (meaning Governor O. P.Morton), whose monument stands in yonder park, could have spoken the word, "one dollar a piece shall be devoted to this purpose by the State of Indiana," and the thing would have been done." No comrade of this order, no citizen of this State, can for one moment doubt the intention and purpose of the Legislature, when in 1887 it authorized the building of the monument. It was to be built in honor of our comrades who died ami for no others. The act created a Monu mental Commission to be composed of five members. These appoint ments were to be made by the State officers, If possible to more clearly emphasize the public sentiment at that time, five members of the (i. A. R. were selected as Commissioners, and to them was intrusted the sacred duty of executing the ofttimes expressed will of the Legislature, and the people, and to see that the great work should be erected and dedicated in honor of our beloved dead. The great shaft was Hearing completion when, in the month of June, 1802, more than live years after its authorization, it was for the first time learned, that two of the four faces of the Monument had been di verted from its original purpose and was made to represent the soldiers of another and very different war, the war witli Mexico. To say that our comrades were astonished does not half express the fact —they were confounded beyond expression. They then learned that they had been betrayed, and that, by comrades they had year after year put forth to represent them on that Monument question. They had seen efforts made to detract from the well-earned fame of our patriot dead by teach ing the children of a whole section of the country that our dead died in an unholy cause, and that only [lie Confederate dead died in a just and holy cause, and they were not prepared and could scarcely realize the fact thai a Committee of G. A. R. comrades could or would purposely and in violation of their grant of authority to act for this body, and in violation of the plain intent of the act of 1887, divert the work in trusted to them from its original patriotic and sacred purpose, and yet, there in plain view upon the upper astragal were the figures 1846 and 1848. These comrades, so honored and trusted by this organiza tion, had so changed that Monument in violation of law and the au thority to represent the G. A. R. that neither the first rays of the morning sun as it awakens all nature to activity, nor the last rays of the setting sun as it quiets and lulls to rest all animate nature, could fall upon faces of the Monument that was to be dedicated to the memory of the I'nion dead. This priceless boon they unlawfully and without (IHANI) ARMY OF THE KKPUHI.ir. 11:; authority, and in violation of every principle of honor, conferred upon the soldiers of another war. Comrades began to confer and talk and counsel together, and then the Posts of Indianapolis met and passed resolutions requesting the Commissioners to remove all the figures from the upper astragal. A circular was sent to every Post in the Department calling attention to the diversion of the Monument from its holy purpose, the action of Indianapolis Posts, and requesting that such action be taken as the comrades might think proper. With remarkable unanimity the Posts responded. Last August, in company with leading comrades in and out of the (}. A. R., representing this and other soldier organizations, a hearing by the Monumental Commission was sec ured, and they were pleaded with to remove the figures in compliance with the almost unanimous request of all soldier organizations. They heard us, and then through their Chairman, George J. Langsdale, said that when they acted we should have no cause of complaint — and yet, as a fact, they treated all the petitions, and pleadings with silent contempt. During the month of IVcember, 1892, the C. of A. met and in the spirit of com promise authorized the appointment of a committee of five, of which I was to he chairman, to present to them a proposition to remove : 1 1 1 the figures from the upper astragal. Comrades C. A. Zollinger, of Fort Wayne; Benj. Starr, of Richmond; B. C. Shaw anil .). L. McMastcr, of Indianapolis, composed that committee. This committee had a hearing before two members of the Commission, when a full presentation of the facts was made. At this meeting Chairman I angsdale began to justify his action, and stateil he would not change the figures. This committee then caused to be introduced in the Legislature a resolution asking for an investigation by the Legislature in order that our rights might be determined. On the evening of February 9 the committee granted a hearing. All the Legislative record was made known, and Comrade McMastcr, who wrote the act of 1887 authorizing the Monument, made a full statement to the committee of the intention of the law. The committee adjourned to meet on February 13, when the majority made a report sustaining the Commission. In this report, however, the com mittee conceded that the original intention was to build the Monument in honor of the Union dead. The minority report sustained our de mands. This resolution failed to pass both Houses, and thus do we con found and overwhelm the Commission by the report of the majority of the Legislature of 1893, which concedes that the act of 1887 intended the Monument to be in honor only of the Union dead. This is the exact status of the question. What shall we do? We have been be trayed by our own comrades! We have no one else to blame! Shall we now fold our hands and sit idly by and permit this Commission of five persons to thwart the will of this Organization and that of the Legislature of 1887, or shall we not rather use every legitimate means within our reach to compel these men to obev the law and to complete 8—o. A. a. Ill FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, and dedicate this great work in strict compliance with the intention of its projectors and the act of authorization and in conformity to the wishes of those they represent. The heroes in whose honor it was to be built knew neither party, creed, church nor nationality in that supreme hour of the Nation's peril; they heard the piteous cry for help anil they went forth to do or die in behalf of liberty protected by law. If we shall remain as true to these sainted dead as they were true to the cause in which they died, and we can be no less true to them, we shall compel obedience to the law by that Commission. Let us appeal to the law and enforce it, and when we do this and enforce the act of 1X87 we shall make that Monument a Union War Monument from foundation stone to crowning figure, as it was intended to be. TltK NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. Indiana has been honored for a third time by the National Encamp ment being sent here. Last September the compliment of a unanimous vote in favor of Indianapolis was given at Washington. 1 can not fully express in words the responsibility resting upon the comrades of this department. We owe it to ourselves to uniform all comrades who attend the Encampment next September, so that they can present a sol dierly appearance. The comrades of this department have received the cordial greetings of other departments, and have been made to feel at home at every National Encampment. The Mayor of Indianapolis, on behalf of that city, and the Governor of the State, for this department, said to the DESECRATION OF SOLDIERS' GRAVES. One can scarcely realize the fact that in this Christian hind and age, it would be possible for people to live so devoid of honor, gratitude and manhood, as to be guilty of desecrating the graves of our fallen com rades, yet that very thing was done in Morgan and Hendricks Counties (luring the past year. There are no words in our language strong enough to fully express the contempt and abhorrence in which the guilty wretches are held by all the people. The indignation was so great that it has been impossible thus far to even obtain a reliable clue to follow, therefore nothing has yet been accomplished toward bringing to justice the wretches who are guilty, although immediate and energetic action was taken by B'.ankenship Post, of Martinsville, and prominent com rades of that county. I am authorized, comrades, to make this state ment: That just as soon as the work can be done, no efforts will be spared until this outrage infinite to our beloved dead has been exposed, and the severest penalties known to the law are inflicted upon all who were guilty. Pledged to this work is the ablest talent and plenty of means to aid them. The time has not yet conic to strike. I venture the opinion that when the light is turned upon this disgrace itwill he found to be the result of a drunken orgie. Only a demon under the influence of whisky could be guilty of such a crime. SPECIAL MENTION. The attention of past officers and comrades is called to the duty of writing to the Commandant of the United States Soldiers' Home, at Marion, and make application for the admission of a comrade before he is sent there. Upon receipt of the application the necessary blank will be sent, and, in all needed cases, transportation will be furnished the applicant. No comrade should ever be started to the Home until the above request for admission has been made, nor until he has transportation and means to reach the Home. We can not afford to have them beg ging their way to this Home. I respectfully recommend that this Encampment authorize the ex penditure of two hundred dollars for the coming year, a specific appro priation to pay the traveling expenses of the Commander for that year, in visiting the Posts in the Department. I am persuaded that the presence of the Commander in every portion of the State, and his per sonal efforts, together with those of Post Officers, will bring to the next Kncampment conclusive evidence that the increased membership proved that the appropriation had been wisely made and profitably expended. in; FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, MUSTERED OUT. The report of the Assistant Adjutant-General contains one statement of mournful interest to every comrade. The death angel mustered out 403 of our members during the year ending December 31, 18!t2, against 331 for the preceding year. The death rate will rapidly increase from this time, thus are we forcibly reminded of the duty to have our lamps filled, trimmed and burning. IN MEMORIAM. Comrade Hugh Kspey, Department Inspector, answered the last roll call, and entered into rest, on the 7th of November, 1802. He was a brave and efficient soldier, and won promotion to the Captaincy of the 2d Indiana Battery. He was strong in the confidence of his neighbors and a man of sterling integrity, beloved by those who knew him best. He was a stalwart friend of this Order. The G. A. K. lost a true friend and one of its towers of strength when Hugh Kspey died. Peaceful be his rest. OKNERAL THOMAS V. BENNETT. Past Department Commander Thomas W. Bennett, after a lingering illness of many months, fell asleep early in the New Year. At his request, the beautiful and impressive burial service of this Order was recited by comrades at bis funeral. Comrade Bennett enlisted early in the late war and won promotions until lie became a Brigadier ( ieneral. He was a gallant officer, held in the very highest esteem by his brother officers and .men, and id lized by his old comrades of the liOth Indiana. He had received honors in civil life, and to every trust reposed in him he made return with clean bands and conscience. He was Department Commander in 1887, when the Encampment, in a body, visited the legislature and asked it to aid and authorize the construction of a State Monument in honor of our I'nion dead. He personally presented the memorial anil made an official record that must remain so long as the records of that Legislature exists. His love for the G. A. It. ended only w ith his death. He was patient during his long illness, ami bis only thoughts seemed to be that he had to trouble those who waited upon and ministered to his wants. The tremendous crowd that tilled the large hall and lined the streets of the city of Richmond in the midst of a winter rain storm, best proves the love and esteem in which this gallant hero was held by his neighbors. Like the most of us, Comrade Bennett was a poor man, and yet, he was a millionaire in the confidence and love of his comrades and neighbors. (1KAND ARMY OK THE REPU IILIC. 1 1: COMRADE HOVEY's STATl'E. Comrade (). R. Weaver, A. Q. M. G., has $120 of money that has been paid into the Hovey Statue Fund. I wish to impress the import ance of united effort to secure the money with which to erect this statue to the memory of our distinguished comrade. He commanded more Indiana soldiers than any other general. His heart was with us in all our efforts to secure proper recognition and he was the idol of the sol diers. He selected the site of the statue, on the south side of the east approach to the Capitol. If it be proper for me to say this here, 1 want to express the opinion that the soldiers of Indiana, ti4,000 in number, can well afford to raise $X,000, or 121 cents to each soldier, to pay for a suitable statue to his memory. Let it be the gift of Indiana soldiers to the memory of Comrade Alvin P. Hovey. CONCMSION. ( 'onirades, I bring back to you at the end of the year the great trust you placed in my hands, witli the consciousness that I have to the best of my ability executed it in the interest of our beloved Order. "With malice toward none; with charity for all," I have tried to impress upon the comrades of the State the true value of our comradeship, and to enlist in them an increased interest in the (i. A. R., and to make it both pleasant and profitable to retain membership in this Order. The increasing years, with their aches and pains, admonish in a voice we can not fail to hear, that the years of our active usefulness are limited, and that if we would unite all eligible Indiana Union sol diers in the bonds of "Fraternity, Charity, Loyalty," we must work, because the hour of rest is near at hand. I>et us live up to the highest ideal of our obligation, and by word and act compel the outside world to admit, that which we know to be true, that ours is the order of orders of the age in which it exists. To be permitted to represent in organiza tion the fraternity, the charity and the loyalty of the surviving mem bers of that great army that accomplished so much lor humanity from 18til to 18tio, is indeed a rare honor. My comrades, that honor is ours; ours to wear, ours to keep, ours to preserve and maintain. God grant that it may remain a solace to every veteran in our State while life shall last, and that the remembrance of it may cheer him in the hour of death. More thankful to you, my comrades, for the great honor you conferred upon me by electing me Department Commander than 1 can find words to express, I can only hope and trust that you will be as loyal and as charitable to my successor as you have been to me, and that Heaven's choicest blessings may come to every comrade in this glorious Department; to their loved ones, and to this blessed Order; and that 118 FOIKTKENTH ANXl'Al, KNCAMrMKST, the spirit of loyalty to country that sustained all our comrades in the war for the preservation of the Union, may fill every heart in this jrlori- ous commonwealth, until we shall he of one mind upon this question of questions, loyalty to this government of, for and by the people. J. li. CHEADLE, Department Cvmmaiitltr. The Junior Vice-Department Commandfr: The ad dress of the Department Commander will he referred to the following special committee : Past Department Commander Gil R. Stormont, of Post No. 28; James B. White, of Post No. 40 ; John Y. Hitt, of Post No. 5 ; James T. Johnston, of Post No. 9. The Department Commandek: I received a few days since by mail a communication signed by George J. Langsdale, purporting to be a report of the Monumental Committee. Past Department Commander Carnahan : As a mem ber of the Monumental Committee I protest against such a report. I am the Secretary of the Committee, and all calls for meetings of the committee have been sent to its members by me at the request of the Presi dent of the committee. Until this year meetings of the committee have been held and a report for the Encampment considered and agreed upon, but this year there has been no meeting of the committee, and con sequently no report. John L. McMasters, of Post No. 17:1 am a member of the Monumental Committee, and as such I second the protest of Past Department Commander Carnahan. I reside in Indianapolis, and I have never had an inti mation of such a meeting or of such report until I saw it in the Indianapolis Nat'* Monday evening. I protest against the sentiments of the alleged report. C. A. Zolltnoer, of Post No. 40 : As a member of the Monumental Committee, I also protest against the alleged report of George J. Langsdale. Before this (IRAND ARMY OF THE KKPUBLFC. 110 year there have been meetings of the committee, and reports agreed upon. This year there has been no such meeting, and, consequently, no report. I could not have signed the alleged Langsdale report, therefore, I emphasize my protest against its reception. James T. Layman, of Post No. 17: I have been a member of the Monumental Committee for years. I have attended all the called meetings. There has been none this year, and if there had I should not have signed the Langsdale report. It is simply outrageous to attest to-day that the Legislature of 1887 had any other monument in its mind than one in honor of the Indiana soldiers in the war for the Union. I recall that when the Monumental Committee was before the Legislature's committee with the MeMasters bill, the question was raised as to the amount of money to be invested, and 1 said invest §200,000, because Indiana can not afford to give less than one dollar for each sol dier in her service. I also protest against the Langs dale paper. James B. Black, of Post No. 17: In view of the remarkable statements of the members of the Commit tee regarding the Langsdale paper, and the very remark able character of the alleged report, I move that the paper sent by President Langsdale be referred to the members of the Monumental Committee without read ing. A score of members shouted a second, and the mo tion of Comrade Black was unanimously carried with great applause. The Department Commander: The next thing in order is the report of 8enior Vice-Department Com mander Phil. Dickinson. That officer read the following report : FOl'RTKKNTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, Ft. Wayne, Ind., April 1, 1H93. To I he Commander and Comrade* of the Department of Indiana, G. A. It.: Your Senior Vice-Commander for the past year would respectfully submit the following report: During the year he has attended meet ings of several Posts in the Department, and a called meeting of depart ment olficers at Indianapolis; also, the National Encampment at Washington, I). C. There has been but one meeting of the Council of Administration during his term of service, at which meeting he was present for duty. He has suggested to bis own Post (Anthony Wayne No. 271) the propriety of conferring with the other Posts located at Ft. Wayne, in order to form a joint committee from those three Posts, to raise funds to build the first, if possible, cottage for the home to be established at Lafayette, which suggestion has been followed, and a committee from the other Posts lias been appointed for the work. He desires to call the attention of the Posts and Comrades of the Department to an item ap pearing in the Indianapolis and other papers, but a few days ago, relat ing the adventures of an old couple who were trying to get from Buffalo. N. Y., to Terre Haute. Not being able to obtain admittance to a I'nited States Soldiers' Home for h'.s old wife, Ills life companion, from whom he was not willing to separate, they had concluded to work their way slowly to friends in Terre Haute. Reaching Indianapolis, far on their way to the haven of their hopes, they were there refused transpor tation onward, but offered transportation back for a short distance over the long route they had traversed, and only by the aid of the Belief Corps (God bless the noble women) and Comrades were they enabled to reach their destination and friends. He would urge a more vigorous action so that the Indiana Home would soon be ready to furnish a place where the old soldier and his wife may find a place to end their declin ing days without separation "until death do them part." Thanking tin- Comrades again for the high honor and distinguished compliment conferred by choosing him to the position he hopes he has filled to their satisfaction, he closes by wishing each and all health, success and prosperity wherever their lot may be cast. Very respectfully yours in F., C. & L., P. DICKINSON, Senior Vier-Dejxtrtment Commander. Department Commander : The report of the Senior Vice-Commander will be referred to the Committee on Elective Officers' Reports. The Junior Vice-Com mander' b report is now in order. fiRANI) ARMY OF TJIK REPUBLIC. The Junior Vice-Commander, Geo. II. Koch, read his report as follows : Evansvili.k, April 5, 1893. J. B. Cheadle, Department Commander: Dear Comrade -The duties imposed on the Junior Vice-Commander for the past year have been very light, having, as we all know, a Com mander at the head of the Department who has performed the duties of his office so well that there was little or nothing for me to perform. I have during the year attended several reunions, at which a great many Comrades were present. These were always interesting to all of us. It was always my aim on such occasions to try to impress on the old sol dier the necessity of becoming a member of the Grand Army of the Re public, telling him of the good and noble work the Department of In diana has done and is still doing for the orphans of our late Comrades. We are enjoying the blessings of this great and free country — yes, we as soldiers of the Stars and Stripes have a right to say our country. Then again I have urged upon them the establishment of a home for soldiers and their wives, so that, instead of being separated in their last days, they may enjoy the blessings of remaining together. With all this I am sorry to say that it has very little effect on the minds of many Comrades that were always ready to do their duty at the front. When so many that God permitted to return to their homes, and who have be come good and abiding citizens — the men who were ready and willing to use their best efforts for the support of themselves and families, the men who honor the old Hag and free schools — are members of the G. A. R., it is sad to see so many old soldiers who are not willing to join our Order that has done so much for them. Comrades, the soldier has one great enemy, and he is fighting the G. A. R., and is destroying the minds of a great many of our old soldiers, and robbing their families of food and clothes. This John Barleycorn is the enemy to the human race. To recruit our ranks from those who have been dropped from the rolls for non-payment of dues, Post No. 191, of which I have the honor to be a member, passed a resolution in viting all members who have been dropped, and who were thought worthy to be reinstated, on payment of fifty cents. This was left open three months, but I am sorry to say that very few took advantage of this liberal offer. There are many soldiers on certain occasions, such as funerals and Memorial Day, who express a desire of being a member of the G. A. R. if it would not cost them anything. I hope such soldiers will find such a Post in the next world. Now, Comrades, we who have stood together in the past, let us be men and Comrades, and go on with the good work begun by the Comrades of the G. A. R., and never tire in doing something lor them who need our help. Yours in F., C. and L., GEORGE II. KOCH, Junior Vice-Department Commander. 122 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, Commanded GuixiEL of Farrauut Post: Commander, I desire to announce that the souvenir prepared by the citizens of Evansville for their guests of the Encamp ment, will he given to delegates as they pass out. Tim DgPAiiTMtNT Commander: The report of Med ical Director is now in order. Thereupon that officer read the following report: Cataract, April 3, 1893. JoKt'/ih H. Cheadle, Department Commander: Dear Comrade — 1 have the lionor to submit the following report from the Medical Director's office for the first and second terms in the year 18!I2: Deaths daring the year, 4(13. I received reports from 20(> Post Surgeons and Adjutants; less than hall" that I should have re ceived. I am of the opinion that many deaths have not been reported. Some reports come in with only the Adjutant's name, without the num ber or name of Post. These reports show that the number of ex-oldiers and sailors and their families treated free of charge was 158, and the value of such medical treatment was $875.85. The number of deserving sick and maimed not receiving a pension is 132. It is my opinion that the reason of this decrease in number from the last year's reports is that many of them have received pensions under the act of June 27, 1890. I have written over 300 letters, urging a complete and full report from Posts, and in many cases they have been fruitful. 1 attended the National Encampment at Washington City, last Sep tember, and assisted in superintending the registering of Indiana sol diers at the Indiana headquarters It was u pleasant duty, by so doing 1 found many who had stood shoulder to shoulder with me during the bloody hours from 'til to '65. Comrades, we are rapidly answering to the last roll-call, and the work that remains for us to do, teaching Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty, will soon be finished. I vet us keep step and touch elbows, not only in teach ing, hut in the practice of these three great principles of our Order. In (dosing my year as Medical Director, I desire to express my most hearty thanks to our Department Commander Cheadle and his worthy star]' for their uniform kindness and courtesy. Our acquaintance has been of the most pleasant character. To the Comrades of the Encampment: Except my many thanks for the honor you conferred on me by electing me Medical Director of the Department of this great State of Indiana for 1892. Yours in F., C. and L., J. M. JONES, Medical Director. (iRANI) ARMY OF THE REI'CBLIC. P2tf Thk Department Commander: This report will be referred to the same committee. The Department Chap lin will now read his report. Rev. G. P. Riley then read the following: CHAPLAIN'S RKI'ORT. • ■I'lteph B. Cheadle, Department Commander : Dear Comrade — I have the honor to present to you the following report, and first of all T wish most sincerely to thank the Comrades of the G. A. K. Department of Indiana for the honor and favor they con ferred on me one year ago, by electing me their Department Chaplain. This would have been to me a gratifying promotion under any circum stance, but more especially and peculiarly so then, as we had just been ejected from the Wesleyan Methodist Church without a hearing or trial of any kind, for no other fault, misdemeanor or crime than our connec tion with and loyalty to our Order. As your Chaplain, my duties have not been arduous, but honorable; my labors not a drudgery, but a delight ; thus, after having the strong cordsof Christian affection snapped asunder, and the warm fellowship of old-time Wesleyan Methodist friends severed for ever — no church, home left us — we very naturally looked to our Comrades of the G. A. R. for fellowship and recognition, and have thus spent the year in our new association very, very pleas antly, indeed. And, if you allow us to be judge, have not back slidden one inch. My very dear Comrades, we have not or will we ever loose sight of the fact that our promotion among you was not because of any especial talent or achievement of our own, but rather because of the Good Samaritan quality of our Order— Fraternity and Charity. You did stoop to lift up the fallen and bind up the wounds and bruises of him that had fallen among thieves; you did pour in the oil, and place thy unworthy servant on the gentle, burden-bearing Grand Army of the Republic, for which you have our unbounded gratitude and thanks. With malice to none and good will to all churches, I am a Grand Army man, with a button on every coat and in full sight every day in the week, and have and will labor to make our Order outshine, outnum ber and eclipse any and every sectarian church in the land that oppose and persecute it on any grounds whatever, for of course they know not what they do. We visited thirty-three Posts and attended eight re unions, was with the Upland Post, and spoke for them both at their memorial service and on Decoration Day. Attended at the dedication of Lincoln Hall at Knightstown, and responded to many camp-fire calls both in and out of our State. Out of 527 Posts in the Department only eighty-three sent in reports of memorial service or Decoration Day. This I know was for the want of proper blanks and not altogether the 121 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, fault of Post Chaplains, many of whom waited for the blanks until it was too late, and then they did not come. We suggest, as our prede cessors have also done, that blanks be at once printed and sent to every Post, and their Chaplains ordered to till them out on Memorial or Dee- oration Day, or as soon after as possible, and forward them to the De partment Chaplain within twenty days thereafter. As there are 444 Post Chaplains delinquent in their reports of Memorial and Decoration Days, we will not presume to guess at these items, but will say, what all Comrades know, that the interest in these national days with the Com rades and people at large, and especially with the children, is increas ing from year to year, and this year has been no exception to the gen eral rule. This I gather, too, from the eighty-three letters from Post Chaplains, all of which report increased interest, and many of them speak of a hard rainstorm at the time of decoration, in which our Com rades remained in the drenching wet till their work was done. It is a matter of congratulation and joy to all Comrades and their families that an enterprise is on hand to provide a home where old Comrades and their wives may live together and pass their last days in ease and comfort, free from the hardship, anxiety and toil of providing for their own temporal wants. This will be another evidence of the loyalty and gratitude of the people of our State for those who have given themselves a sacrifice on the altar of our country, women as well as men. The former deserve as much for duties done and anguish suf fered at home as the latter for bravery and suffering at the front. Let the ti. A. R. and AV. R. ( '. lay to a helping hand in this and assist in erecting this monument of charity and good works that well shade the seas abroad and reach the heavens above. We can not commend too earnestly the enterprise of a State Solders' Home, where the old Comrade and his wife can live together at the close of a well spent life.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL. i ikaikjtarters department of indiana,] Grand Army of tiif. Reitblic, | Office of Assistant Aiuiviaxt-General, I Indianapolis, Ind., April 5, 1893. | ./. i?. Cheatlle, Department Commander : Dear Sir and Comrade — At the close of onr official relations I wisli to tender my thanks to you for my appointment as well as for your uni form kind appreciation of the difficulties connected with my position. I have endeavo'ed to treat all the questions placed in my hands with the best ability in my power, and trust that no Comrade can feel other than charitable sentiments for any failure. And now, as I terminate my service as Assistant Adjutant-General of this Department, I tender my heartfelt thanks for the unanimity of good fellowship that I have experienced from personal association with thousands of Comrades in all those parts of the State that it has been my good fortune to visit. I shall find life too short to repay the many acts of courtesy and frater nity that hrve always been my welcome. I can rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who have been called to mourn, as with anxiety I have recorded the sad tale of the Roll of Honor of 103 Comrades who have been transferred to the realms of Eternity. Among these was our worthy Inspector, Comrade Hugh Espy, whose duties have been performed by Comrade Weaver in an able and conscientious manner at my request on account of the many labors that have engrossed my time. The total number of Posts remain the same as it was last year, viz., 527, there having been a gain of eight and a similar loss. Rut the number in good standing has fallen from 24,670 on December 31, 1891, to 23,909 one year later. In one item, however, we have a large increase. In my last report we hud 4,017 on the suspended list, which has now grown to 4,703. While we can not congratulate ourselves on this in crease, we can, at least, hope that this large number gives us a sure place to look for recruits for the active list.

Weaver, Assistant Quarter- master-tieneral, 86,712.68, being amount received from all sources during the year as per statement in detail in his report. The remit tances for Christmas presents for our wards at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Knightstown have been $120.07, which is not as large as they should have been on account of the increase in the number of children. During the year there have been issued 11 general orders, 3 circulars, 55 dispensations, and 62 special orders. The distribution of all the printed matter from National and Department Headquarters, including the correspondence preliminary to securing the National Encampment at Indianapolis this fall, and in regard to the Soldiers' Monument has entailed much more labor than last year. The total enclosures mailed have reached the number of thirty-seven thousand. There has been one meeting of the Council of Administration during the year and several consultations of members, a s their personal busi ness called them to the Capital. Much of the business has been trans acted by correspondence, thereby saving considerable expense to the Department and preserving the opinions of all the staft' in writing. A large majority of the Posts have complied with the order of the last Encampment by sending to my office a complete roster of their member ship; but many are yet delinquent. I trust that my successor will be able to secure the balance. I also recommend that the Commander-elect be authorized to procure suitable books and pay a competent penman for transcribing these rosters for permanent records. The reports have been more thoroughly and uniformly brought up to date this term than for a long time, which is the result of presistent cor respondence by myself and Comrade Weaver. In closing, I hope with the most unselfish feelings, that the comrades of this Department will exhibit the purest charity in word and senti ment toward any comrade who may lie chosen to fill the office of Assistant Adjutant-General.

Our official relations have been uniformly pleasant and agreeable. To yourself, all officers and comrades, 1 desire to express my sincere thanks for patience, forbearance and assistance which has lightened the cares of this office. I trust that they have been so per formed as to merit the approval of all to best serve the interest of our association. Yours in F., C. & L., O. R. WEAVEK, AmixlarU Quarter-mauler- ( irneral. The Department Commander: These two reports will be referred to the special committee thereon. Senior Vice-Commander Dickinson took the chair, and on motion of Past Department Commander Chase, it was ordered that the Senior Vice-Department Com mander appoint a committee to prepare an appropriate badge for Commander Cheadle, as a testimonial of the appreciation of the Department for his able and faith ful services. That officer named Past Department Commanders Chase, Walker and W. F. Medsker such committee. Thereupon, at 12 :30 o'clock the Encampment took a recess until 3 p. m. J 42 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, AFTERNOON SESSION— FIRST DAY. The Department Commander called the Encampment to order at 3 p. M. and announced the Judge Advocate will read his report. Thereupon B. F. Williams, Post 6, Judge Advocate, read the following: JUDGE ADVOCATE'S REPORT. IlKADqtARTERS DEPARTMENT OF INDIANA, Office r n r. itvof Judgeo ( Advocate,.\intji Air, Wabash, Ind., Aprils, 1893. Joseph B. Cheadle, Department Commander: I respectfully submit the following as the report of the .Judge Advo cate of the Department for the year ending with this Encampment. There have been fewer cases of discipline reported to this office than for any of the last preceding five years. No important court martial proceeding has come under my consideration during the last year. The proceedings of Post court martials have been more regular and conform able to rules and regulations and less uncertainty has been occasioned by irregularities and informalities than formerly. It is the theory, and should lie the practice, of military procedure, that "Justice should he administered speedily and without delay," an end which ha.* not always been accomplished by want of attention to the required forms of procedure. The proper organization of courts, the formulation of charges and specifications, notice to the accused and report to and ap proval by Posts of proceedings has often created embarrassment in exe cution and approval of the findings of court martial, and sometimes in rendering the labotsof the court invalid and illegal. It is gratifying to report the decreasing frequency of these trials and a better observ ance of the essential forms of such proceedings. The legal department of the Order is frequently appealed to for con struction of the rules and regulations and for answers to questions aris ing under their application. These questions are generally of easy solution, and attention to decisions and opinions recognized as authority would furnish a complete answer to them, but there are occasionally conditions upon which no construction of the Jaw has been given and some in which the authority is not uniform. Among these I cite the eligiliility of candidates for membership. The Grand Army of the Re public has been so charitable in its views and so anxious to enlist in its ranks all defenders of the Republic that it has suffered by want of dis crimination between the worthy and the unworthy and between those GRAND AKMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 143 who have been soldiers and those who have not. Personal observation justifies the saving that many Comrades with splendid military record and unexceptional character have not become members of our Order, or have become indifferent members, because its membership is no badge of merit. I believe it is a mistaken policy and ill bestowed charity to bear upon the roster the names of a great many who contribute nothing to the support, morally or financially, of an Order which practices the most liberal charity and the most unselfish fraternity of any brotherhood in the world. Membership in this Order is a boon and a blessing to be sought and not a grace to be bestowed. Let the Grand Army badge be the insignia of an honorable soldier in time of war and an upright citi zen in time of peace. We have reached that time in life when contentious are very distaste ful to us. The heat of the battle is over and we are triumphantly mov ing into camp. Let us have no dissensions about spoils, and hearts loyal to each other, our country and God, till life's sun is set, then sus tained and soothed by an unfaltering trust. Let each wrap the drapery of his couch about him and lie down to pleasant dreams. Respectfully submitted in F., C. and L., B. F. WILLIAMS, Judge Advoeate. The Department Commander: The report of the Inspector is now in order. Assistant Quartermaster- (ieneral Weaver, detailed to act as Inspector, read the following report : REPORT OF INSPECTOR.

A. R. 14H FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, You will note of the 527 I'osts now in existence were inspected only 399. The new form of inspection was not received in time to mail with the semi-annual report blanks, therefore the reports do not show "how many school districts or wards are represented in each Post," but from inquiries made, the school houses of Indiana nearly all float "old glory." In closing this report, I respectfully suggest that if yearly inspections are to be continued, that this Department request the National Encamp ment to adopt a rule that the Countersigns must be withheld from all Posts failing to forward inspection report with the semi-annual reports and per capita for second term of each year. Fraternally submitted, O. R. WEAVER. The Department Commander: Tlie Encampment will listen to the report of Chief Mustering Officer Miller. That officer read its follows: Terre Haute, April r>, 1893. Irt in Bobbins, Assistant Adjutant-General : Dear Sir and Comrade— I herewith submit to you my report as Chief Mustering Officer of the Department. This office has bad but very little work to perform the past year. All rules, regulations and orders being very willingly obeyed by I'osts and Comrades with but very few exceptions, the exceptions being referred to me were looked after and urgently requested to be complied with, and were, so far as I have been informed, obeyed. The greater part of my duties were to look after delinquent I'osts. My correspondence to them was followed by their immediate obedience to orders. This work can be done very read ily and with much effect by this officer. I believe he should be given greater power in this direction. I hereby thank you and all Department officers for the many favors shown me the past year. Yours, in F., C. and L., GEORGE W. MILLER, Chief Mustering Officer. The Department Commander: This report will go to the special committee. The members of the Monumental Committee, to whom was referred the Langsdale paper, this morning, is ready to report. The Encampment will give atten tion. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 147 Comrade John L. McMaster, of Post No. 17, in behalf of that committee, reported as follows : Evansville, April 5, 1893. J. B. Cheadie, Department Commander: The undersigned, members of the Monument Committee, Department of Indiana, G. A. R., to whom was referred the report signed by Geo. J. Langsdale, President, and purporting to be a report of said commit tee, would respectfully report that they have never been invited to con sider the report signed by the said Langsdale, and have never approved or given their consent to any such report, nor are they to be understood as approving or consenting to the same. Heretofore it has been the custom of the President of the Monument Committee to call the members thereof together for the purpose of con sidering and approving the report that should be made to the Annual Department Encampment, but no such call has been made, nor has a meeting of any of the members of said committee been held for the pur pose of preparing or approving any report to the present Encampment, so far as the undersigned members of said committee are informed and believe; and they hereby utterly disavow and repudiate any report which seeks to justify the action of the State Hoard of Commissioners in placing the dates 184(i and 1848 upon the upper astragal of said monument, believing as they do that said action of the Hoard is an un pardonable betrayal of a solemn trust, and a diversion of the monument from the sacred purpose for which it was intended, and that the same should be restored to the object for which it was designed by a removal of said dates. John L. McMaster, C. A. Zollinger, James T. Layman, James R. Carnahan. The reading of the report was followed by loud demonstrations of approval. Comrade George W. Sphar, of Post No. 17, read the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, The members of the Grand Army of the Republic for the Department of Indiana devised ways and means and secured the enact ment of a law for the erection of a monument sacred to the memory of the services and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors from the State of Indiana in the war for the suppression of the Rebellion from 1861 to 18(15, and for the honorable commemoration for the great cause for which they fought; and 148 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL, ENCAMPMENT, Whereas, George J. Langsdale, by his reports, by his speeches, and by his talks, always in most emphatic terms and language favored and advocated the erection of such monument, for such purpose only, and in the description of the design which was adopted, and upon which the contract for the building of said Monument was let, the following lan guage was used: "Just below the capital is a bronze astragal, bearing the dates 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864 on the several sides of the Monument which will be lighted at night." Whereas, Because of such statements and representations of said Langsdale, he has from time to time been appointed by the Department Commander on what is known as and called the Monument Committee; and Whereas, After the necessary funds and legislation had been pro cured for the erection of such Monument, and after the same was nearing its completion, the said George J. Langsdale, without official action of said Monument Committee, or of the Monument Commission, had placed high up on the shaft of said Monument in the upper astragal thereof, and on the East and West sides thereof the figures 1846 and 1848, thereby diverting said Monument from its original intent and purpose, and thereby robbing said Monument of the purpose of being sacred to the memory of the heroism and sacrifices of our Comrades in the war for the preservation of the Union; therefore, be it Rexohed, That the Department Commander be and he is hereby directed to immediately remove the said George J. Langsdale from said Monument Committee. Rctolted, That the Commander-elect of this Department be and he is hereby directed not to appoint any Comrade on said Monument Com mittee who does not favor the removal of said figures 1846 and 1848 from the upper astragal of said Monument. Rexolird, That the report of George J. Langsdale as President of the Monument Committee, to this Encampment, be rejected. Comrade 6. W. Spahr, of Post No. 17, moved a sus pension of the rules, and that the resolutions be' put upon their passage, which was unanimously agreed to by a rising vote. Comrade W. II. Tucker, of Tost No. 17, ottered the following resolution, which was also unanimously adopted under a suspension of the rules: Remhed, That it is the sense of this Department Encampment of the G. A. R. that D. C. McCollum be at once removed from the Monumental Committee for having falsely betrayed the trust reposed in him by the soldiers of Indiana, inasmuch as he has been a party to the Mexican- izing of the State Soldiers' Monument. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 149 The rules were suspended, and the resolution unan imously adopted. At this point a delegate inquired if the late Past De partment Commander Bennett did not vote for the Mexican dates. Past Department Commander Carna- han said that he knew, from conversations with Past Department Commander Bennett, before he died, and with Treasurer George W. Johnston, of the Monu mental Commission, that no formal vote was ever taken on changing the figures, that both Past Department Commander Bennett and himself did not know of the ■change until it came up some time later, and that both were opposed to the Mexican dates. •Richmond Delegate: General Bennett told me sev eral times that he was opposed to the Mexican dates. Department Commander: In accordance with the vote of the Encampment I hereby remove George J. Langsdale and D. C. McCullum from the Monumental Committee, aud appoint Thomas J. Charlton, of Post No. 17, and William D. Mull, of Post No. 9, to fill the vacancies, and George W. Kimball, of Post No. 491, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Past Com mander Bennett. Comrade G. W. Spahr, of Post No. 17, presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted under suspension of the rules : Whereas, We believe in keeping sacred to the memory of our Com rades in the war for the preservation of the Union, sacred to the mem ory of their services and sacrifices, the Monument now being erected at Indianapolis, as it was originally intended, and Whereas, We are unchangeably opposed to the figures 1846 and 1848 remaining on the upper astragal of the Monument, and we shall forever bend every energy to secure the removal of the same, therefore Resolved, That we hereby pledge ourselves in the future not to vote for any candidate on the legislative ticket who does not favor the removal of said figures and who does not pledge himself, if elected, to support and vote for the necessary legislation to secure the removal of th figures 1846 and 1848, and we hereby pledge ourselves to vote against9 such candidate who does not so promise. 150 FOURTEENTH ANMUAL ENCAMPMENT, Past Commander Chase: I move that a committee of live be appointed to convey the congratulations of the Encampment to the convention of the Women's Relief Corps. Carried. Department Commander: I appoint Past Com mander Chase, Past Chaplain D. Ryan, Past Com mander D. N. Foster, J. Y. Ilitt and T. J. Charlton to attend to that pleasant duty. It having been announced that Colonel McGuire, of Rising Sun, Commander, and Mustering Officer Reis- teristein, of the Indiana Division of the Sons of Vet erans, were in waiting, the Department Commander appointed Past Department Commander Carnahan and Senior Vice-Commander Dickinson, to escort them into the Encampment. Subsequently, the visitors were escorted to the plat form and introduced to the Encampment by the De partment Commander in appropriate remarks, to which fitting response was made by Colonel McGuire. Past Department Commander Chase: I desire to submit the report of the Committee on Elective Officers' Reports. Department Commander: Your committee to which was referred the reports of the elective of ficers begs leave to submit the following: The reports of the .Junior and Senior Vice-Department Commanders show they have been faithful in the discharge of their duties, and that the Department made no mistake in honoring them. They make no recom mend at ions. In the report of the Medical Director he submits to the Department the same complaint as has his many predecessors, namely, negligence on the part of Post Surgeons to report the charities expended, and deaths occurring in the various Posts. Your committee recommends that extra efforts be made by the A. A. G. in communicating to the dif ferent Post Commanders, urging that full and complete reports be made concerning the charity expended and the deaths occurring in the various Posts of this Department. The Department Chaplain reports that he has been unable to secure Post Chaplain reports concerning the Memorial Day services, as well as GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 151 matters pertaining to Comrades in distress, or the number of deaths oc curring in the Department. We indorse the recommendation of the Department Chaplain that blanks be sent by the Assistant Adjutant- Oeneral to Post Chaplains in time for reports to be made and returned to the Department Chaplain, that he may report to his Encampment the condition of affairs pertaining to his office. Ira J. Chase, 1). X. Foster, David N. Flynn> John W. Tingle, T. J. Charlton. The report was accepted, and ordered printed in the Journal. Comrade Black, of Post No. 17 : I desire to pre sent the annual report of the Committee on the Sol diers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home. REPORT OK THE DEPARTMENT BOARD OK VISITORS TO THE INDIANA SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' ORPHANS' HOME. Evansville, April 5, 1893. To the Annual Encampment, Department of Indiana, G. A. It. : Department Commander and Comrades— The Department Board of Visitors to the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home has been constituted during the past year as follows: James B. Black, President, Post No. 17, Indianapolis; William D. Mull, Vice-President, Post No. 9, Rockvillc; Richard M. Smock, Sec retary, Post No. 17, Indianapolis; Benjamin Starr, Post No. 55, Rich mond; Timothy E. Howard, Post No. 8, South Bend; A. O. Marsh, Post No. 60, Winchester: George D. Adams, Post No. 530, Ft. Wayne; David C. Smith, Post No. 7, Crawfordsville ; John Y. Hitt, Post No. 5, (ireensburg. In this, the seventh year of the existence of the Board, its work and policy, as in former years, have been directed to the assistance and en couragement of the officers of the Home, the procurement of adequate support for the Institution from the State, and the strengthening of the close bond of union between the Home and our order. The Institution has been visited often, sometimes by the entire Board, at other times by a part of the Board, or individual members of it. Soon after the last Department Encampment, Lincoln Hall, the assem bly hall and chapel of the Institution, was completed, and on the 23d of 152 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, June, 1892, it was dedicated, under the auspices of the (i. A. R., the ritualistic exercises being conducted by the Department Commander and his staff. The same day the graduating exercises of the literary school were held in the hall, and nine pupils were graduated. The number of graduates would have been larger but for the recent introduction, under the present Superintendent, of an additional year in the course of in struction. Silver badges, provided for by the Department, were pre sented to the graduates. At the graduation day next June a larger class will be graduated, and Comrades will find this a good time to visit the Home. During the vacation of the schools last summer the old chapel was converted into school-rooms, and the school-house now contains thirteen commodious and well furnished school-rooms. All improvements especially provided for previous to this year have been completed. The Home is in excellent condition, and, we believe, is constantly im proving. The Superintendent, Prof. A. II. ( iraham, has proved himself well qualified and highly efficient. Harmony and good will prevail between the employes, and excellent discipline exists among all the inmates. Better than any general expression, the following data relating to the 31st of March, 1893, will show the advancement made by the Home and its present condition: Number of boys -till) Number of girls - 265 Total number of pupils 625 Number of pupils received during the past year 141 Number of children discharged during the past year ■ 92 Number of pupils placed in homes during the past year 11 Number of approved applications of children not yet admitted.... 211 Number of divisions, each under care of a governess 19 Number of pupils in schools 587 Number of employes in the institution 90 Number of volumes in library 1,000 Number of periodicals taken for reading room 27 Number of subscribers, exchanges and free list for Home Journal. 34.")

K. C, prepared a bill for an act making certain needed amendments in the existing law and providing for certain additional improvements at the Home. We procured the introduction of the bill in each branch of the Legislature and labored earnestly for its enact ment. Notwithstanding our best endeavors and the earnest support of some of the members of the General Assembly, the bill did not pass in either branch. Failing in this direction, we sought to obtain the same objects in part, by way of amendment of the general appropriation bill. Through the able and hearty efforts of Senator Thomas E. Boyd and Representative A. C. Lindemuth, with other friends, we obtained addi tions, amounting in the aggregate to $25,000 to the appropriations for the Home. The bill as finally enacted provided for each of the two fiscal years commencing November 1, 1893, for maintenance, SI 00, 000! for current repairs, $1,000; for library and reading room, $200. It also provided for immediate use $5,000, for additional water wells, extension of sewer and improvement of grounds. The Governor, within the past mouth, has re-appointed Comrade Ben. L. Smith as Trustee, and has appointed Dr. .1. H. Bogart, of Clinton, Vermillion County, as a Trustee to succeed Comrade Harry Watts, who has served in that capacity with great credit during the last four years. 154 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, The relations between this Hoard and the officers, employes and pupils of the Home, have been exceedingly pleasant, and we hope our inter course and correspondence have resulted in benefit to the institution. We trust that our Comrades will not neglect any opportunity to visit the Nome, where they will always receive a hearty welcome, and where they can not fail to be made happier, if not also better, by witnessing the health, contentment, improvement and happiness of more than six hundred children of their Comrades. We return our sincere thanks to the Department Commander and his able staff' for the uniform courtesy extended by them to this Hoard. Respectfully submitted in F., C. and L., .JAMES B. BLACK, RICHARD M. SMOCK, President. Secretary. The report was accepted and ordered printed in the official record. A vote of thanks was extended to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home Committee for its faithful and efficient work. Past Commander Carnahan: I am directed by the Committee on State Soldiers' Home, appointed a year ago, to submit its first annual report: Indianapolis, April :t, 1893. To the Com mantlet; Officers mid Comrade* of the Department of Indiana, (Irand Army of the Republic : Your committee, appointed at your last Department Encampment, in the matter of a Home for the needy soldiers and sailors and their wives, or widows, in the State of Indiana, beg leave to submit the following report of their work in that behalf: After their appointment the first meeting was held at the office of the Chairman of the committee, in the city of Indianapolis, May (i, 1892. There were present of the committee, James R. Carnahan, Chairman; C. J. Murphy, D. F. Specs, Andrew Kite, IT. D. Cole, William H. Tucker, Charles M. Travis, W. S. Haggard, David X. Foster, Jasper E. Lewis and Hai ry B. Martin. A complete organization was made by the election of Comrade William H. Tucker as Secretary, and Comrade and Past Department Commander, D. N. Foster, as Treasurer. After the organization had been completed a committee from the city of Warsaw, of which Comrade Rube Williams was Chairman, was received. This committee presented a petition from the citizens of Warsaw, asking that the Indiana Soldier* (iRAND ARMY OP THK REPUBLIC. 165 Home should be located at Warsaw; would, at the proper time or when your committee should so desire, make the formal tender of a donation of lands for the erection of the Home. Comrade Haggard of your com mittee also notified this committee that the citizens of Tippecanoe County were desirous of securing the location of the Home for that county, and would donate not less than KiO acres of land for the pur pose. Your committee, at the date of this first meeting, were not prepared to receive bids for the location of the Home, and it was decided that the Chairman should, through the public press, give notice that at the next meeting of the committee proposals for the location of the Home would be received ; that all propositions should be made in the nature of sealed bids, and all the bids should be opened at the meeting. The time for making such propositions was to extend until the 29th day of June, after which no propositions would be received, but it was expressly stated that no tender of less than 100 acres would be con sidered. It was also provided that such towns, cities or counties that desired to submit such donations for consideration might be represented by a com mittee to present their claims and their desires to the committee. After a general presentation of the ideas of the several members of the com mittee, as to methods of conducting the work, the committee adjourned to meet in Indianapolis on June 29, 1892. After the adjournment of the first meeting, and before the second meeting, your committee and each of them did what they could to bring the subject of a Soldiers' Home to the attention of the people of the iState. Many letters were written to Comrades of the G. A. E. and prominent citizens throughout the State. The ladies of the Womens' Relief Corps of this Department, through their Department President, and individually as members, took an active interest in the work and did much toward bringing about a public sentiment in favor of the movement. The public press of the State, as a rule, espoused our cau.se, and by giving us the free use of their columns and by editorials in be half of the Soldiers' Home, rendered us most valuable assistance in reaching the people of the State. Many letters of encouragement were received by your committee, and we felt encouraged from the start. On June 29 your committee met at the office of the Chairman in the city of Indianapolis, the members present being the Chairman and Com rades Tucker, Foster, Specs, Cole, Travis, Haggard and Lewis. The Chairman announced that he had sealed proposals for the Home from Warsaw, Muncie, Battle Ground and Tippecanoe County, and the city of Lafayette. Each of these propostions made a tender of the choice of one or more separate tracts of land from which your committee might select that which might seem the best for the purposes intended. Muncie had three different tracts of land, Warsaw, one; Battle Ground, two 156 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, and Tippecanoe County three, to which was to be added fifty acres of land by the city of Lafayette, provided either one of the tracts of land offered by Tippecanoe County should be accepted; to this donation of lands offered by Tippecanoe County was added a sum of money herein after set forth. Committees from each of these localities were present and presented, orally, the merits of each of the places. These commit tees were very earnest in their expressions of interest in our plans for securing a Home for our needy and destitute Comrades, and on behalf of their respective localities, pledged that all the promises and pledges made in tRe written offers of hinds and assistance should be faithfully carried out if accepted by this committee. Your committee was invited to visit the different localities and judge as to the respective merits of the different tenders that had been made. Your committee decided to meet on Tuesday, July 26, at Indianap olis, and from thence to visit Miincie, Warsaw, the Battle (iround, and Lafayette. The entire committee were notified either to meet at Indian apolis or at Muncie, on the 20th day of .July for the purpose herein named. On July 2<>, there assembled at Muncie, of your committee, the fol lowing members : The Chairman and Comrades W. II. Tucker, L). X. Foster, C. J. Murphy, I). K. Specs, Andrew Kite, U. D. Cole, A. <). Marsh, C. M. Travis, W. S. Haggard, I). B. McConnell and Jasper E. Lewis. The committee spent a day at Muncie and a day at Warsaw in charge of local committees looking at the respective sites at each of the two places. They then visited the Battle Ground, and from the Battle Ground they visited the three different sites offered by Tippecanoe County and the city of Lafayette. Your committee went over all the different tracts of land that were offered by each locality. We took into consideration all the benefits and advantages claimed by each locality, and after careful consideration we accepted one of the tracts of land that was offered by Tippecanoe County. The tract of land selected contains 187 acres, and the money dona tion by the county in addition to this land was $T>,632.oO; the tract of land donated by the city of Lafayette containing fifty acres. Since accepting the above donation your committee have received an addi tional donation of seven acres of land immediately adjoining and laying along the cast line of the donation of Tippecanoe County, being a total of 244 acres of land worth not less than one hundred dollars per acre. This last donation was made by Comrade and Colonel K. P. Dcllart, of Lafayette. For each of these three tracts of land your committee have and hold warranty deeds executed to the Department of Indiana, Grand Army of the Republic. The land secured for the location of our Indiana Soldiers' Home is one of the most sightly tracts that can possibly be found within the limits of the State. The land is located three miles and a half north of GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 157 the city of Lafayette, midway between that city and the historic Tippe canoe Battle Ground. The east line of our lands touches the w aters of the Wabash River, and from this upward until you have an altitude of two hundred feet above the waters of the river. From the summit of the grounds you can see the city of Lafayette below you on the opposite side of the river, and looking toward the south you see the famous Wea Plains, unsurpassed for fertility and beauty by any in the State; and to the northward the great valley of the Wabash River lies extended at your feet. As far as the eye can reach you have at one glance the busy city and the smoke from its hundred manufacturing chimneys, joining to this the rich agricultural lands of Indiana. Westward of our land are the great plains of the prairie and timber lands. The ground itself is historic, having formerly been in possession of the celebrated Indian Chief, Tecumseh; and through and across this land runs the famous "Tecumseh Trail," the grounds themselves bear this name (Tecumseh Trail.) The grounds are beautifully wooded. Since procuring the deeds to these grounds your committee has opened a road leading from the water's edge to the summit of the hill. This road winds up through a wooded ravine easy of ascent. We have also had all of the under-growth and worthless timber taken off the ground. This is as far as your committee felt authorized to go in the clearing up of the land for occupancy. It is the wish of this committee that every member of the Grand Army in this Department should see the choice that the committee has made, believing that if this could be done we would be fully justified by every Comrade of this Department. Upon receipt of the deeds and the money donated by Tippecanoe County, your committee asked that the Treasurer of the committee give a bond for the sum of !?2">,000; this he has done, and the bond is in the hands of the Department Commander. On October 15, 18i>2, your committee held its fourth meeting at the office of its Chairman, in the city of Indianapolis, and the following members were selected as the Executive Committee, to take charge of the lands and look after the clearing up of the same, and the committee, as ap pointed, consists of James K. Carnahan, Chairman, W. II. Tucker, C. M. Travis, D. X. Foster and W. S. Haggard, and this Executive Com mittee was authorized to do such work as might lie deemeil necessary to be done upon the ground, and that the cost of the same to be paid from the money donated by Tippecanoe County, then in the hands of the Treasurer of this committee. Your committee at once turned its atten tion to the work of presenting the claims of this Department to the Legislature for the establishment of the proposed Soldiers' Home. Com rade I". D. Cole was appointed as a committee to draught a suitable bill to be presented at the Legislature for its action, and for the establishing and the maintaining of a Soldiers' Home. This work was done carefully 158 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, and promptly by Comrade Colo, and we present herewith a copy of the bill so prepared, after it had passed the final examination and correc tion deemed necessary by your committee. Said bill is marked Exhibit A, and filed herewith. At the same meeting Comrade ('. M. Travis was appointed to draught a circular letter, to be sent to each member of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the State, calling their attention to the necessity for the establishment of this home. This cir cular was prepared by Comrade Travis, and sent to each member of the Senate and 1 louse of Representatives, a copy of said circular is filed here with, marked Exhibit B. Comrade Tucker was appointed as a com mittee to prepare a circular to be sent to the ( 'oinrades of this Department, urging upon them the necessity of their co-operation in this work, and giving them, in hrief, what had been done by your committee. A copy of said circular, prepared by Comrade Tucker, is filed herewith, marked Exhibit C. I'pon the assembling of the legislature your committee placed the bill, w hich we had already prepared, in the hands of Comrade Haggard, who was a member and Representative from Tippecanoe County, with the request that he should take charge of the bill and see that it was properly presented and pushed forward in the legislature. The mem bers of your committee, in addition to that, did by personal work and personal interviews, all that was possible for them to do with the mem bers of the legislature. They met with the committees of the legis lature and interviewed the several members, and had the absolute prom ises of sufficient votes both in the House and in the Senate for the passage of the hill. The bill was passed by the lower House, making an appro priation of 855,000 for the erection of buildings, etc., late in the session, and was sent to the Senate for the action of that branch of the General As sembly. Alter this bill reached the Senate we were not able to get the bill brought up for action, and there was no action taken upon it, although, as we have stated, we had the pledges of a sufficient number of Senators to pass the bill. While $55,000 was not all of the money that we deemed necessary to put up buildings, to meet all of the necessities of the home, yet we felt that it was a good start, and for the first two years would probably be all that would be absolutely needed for that length of time. Although we did not secure a final action of the Senate in this matter, your committee does not feel discouraged, and we do not believe that the members of the Grand Army should be disheartened, although we did not succeed as we had hoped. We believe that the people of the State of Indiana desire that a suitable home should be built and main tained by the State for their helpless and needy comrades, and we be lieve that it will be done. Your committee, now after a year's work, are more fully advised as to the need of a Soldier's Home than we were at the last Department Encampment, and wish to urge upon this Encampment the necessity for GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 159 active and vigorous work between this and the next session of the Indi ana Legislature. There are to-day in the State of Indiana, over 800 of the veterans of the war for the preservation of the Union who are either in the poor houses, or are supported by the Township Trustees in the different counties of the State. The National houses are overcrowded, and it is difficult to secure admission. The National Government, because of the overcrowded condition of the Homes under its direct control, is making an annual appropriation of $100 for each soldier inmate of the different State Homes. There are now eighteen States that have established and maintain Soldiers' Homes, and these States have paid out large sums of money for lands on which to erect these Homes, and care for the desti tute veterans. As the years go by the numbers of these veterans will, by reason of age and increasing infirmities, grow larger. If the Home is not built and fostered by the State, then these men will have but one road to travel, and that will be "Over the Hills to the Poor House." Aside from the Homes that are being maintained for our Union vet erans in this Northland, are Homes that have been built and are main tained in the Southern States for the veterans of the lost cause. We can but commend the people of the South for the kindly sympathy and care they show toward the men who fought under Lee and Jackson, Longstreet and Johnson, and on every field where the battle was the fiercest. The care shown to the crippled and destitute Confederate by the people of his State is worthy of all praise and the emulation of the people of every State. The people of the South came out of the war having lost all for which they had fought; their land was laid waste and their homes were broken up or destroyed, their business relations with the entire commercial world had come to an end, and they were without capital with which to rebuild their fortunes. With all this destruction about them, to the honor and glory of the people of the South it will be said they have never forgotten the men who bore arms in their cause, and though poor as individuals and States, they have found the means to care for these men. Indiana came out of the war richer than she ever was prior to that time; her commercial, manufacturing and agricultural inteiests and wealth have been increasing rapidly ever since, and there is no reason why the State should not care for these men for whom we seek this Home. It will be to the honor and credit of the State to build this Home. The liberal donations that were offered by the different localities in the State are but the outspoken sentiment that prevails among our people. Your committee have assurance from quite a number of private indi viduals that they will erect cottages and donate them to us if we can but in some way arrange to maintain the occupants. During the past week we received the offer of a cottage from one of the Woman's Kelief Corps of the State to erect a cottage. We are fully convinced that we FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, could have built and donated not less than twenty-five or thirty cottages during this year, if we could but provide food and clothing for these destitute veterans. The work that we have begun should not stop. There should be no halting or despondency in the work by this Depart ment. We will secure the Home ultimately, if we persevere, but in the meantime we should work. To this end your committee respectfully submit the following recommendations for your consideration : Finl. That a permanent committee be appointed in the same manner as was the present committee, and with the same number of members, who shall have in charge the work already begun, and who shall take charge of the donations already made, or that shall hereafter be made. That this committee shall have full authority to select from their own number the officers of the committee, and to appoint from their number an executive board, whose duty shall lie, in the absence of the full com mittee, to act in any emergency that may arise, but that said executive committee shall, from time to time be instructed and directed in the work by the full committee. That regular meetings of said executive committee shall be held for the general welfare and advancement of the Home, and that the necessary traveling and hotel expenses shall be paid by the Assistant (Quartermaster-General of the Department of In diana, G. A. R., out of the funds of the Department, upon accounts duly rendered and approved by the Chairman of this committee: Prorided, That no per diem or salaries shall be paid to any member of the com mittee. Second. \Ve recommend that all money or donations of whatever kind that have been made, or which shall hereafter be made, shall he sacredly kept as a separate and distinct fund from all other moneys or property of the Grand Army, and shall be placed in the care and custody of the Treasurer of the Soldiers' Home Committee. Said Treasurer shall ex ecute? a good and sufficient bond, conditioned for the faithful discharge of his duties, and the honest accounting for all funds or property that may come into his possession by reason of his office, said bond to be made payable to the Department of Indiana Grand Army of the Re public. Third. That the money received as a part of the donations of Tippe canoe County be kept separate from the other funds donated by others, and that it be used and expended as may be deemed necessary to im prove the real estate already donated, and to lav out said grounds with roads and walks preparatory to building cottages or houses suitable for the purpose of the Soldiers' Home. Fourth. That this committee be authorized to solicit and receive special donations for the erection of cottages or other buildings, and to erect said buildings when sufficient donations are made for that purpose. Fifth. That the several Posts of the Grand Army of this Department, according to their' ability, upon the completion of cottages, and when GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 161 occupied by Comrades, us hereinafter provided, if possible, support at least one soldier each year until such time as the State and general gov ernment shall take charge of said Home. SUfh. That in case donations are received, and cottages are built for the occupation of destitute or disabled Union veterans, the Executive Board of this committee shall have full authority and power to decide and determine who shall be admitted to the privileges of the Home; pro vided, also, that the matter of receiving the wife or widow of a Union soldier shall also be determined by said Executive Board, said Execu tive Board to be governed by the rules for admission as laid down in the bill that was presented to the last Legislature of Indiana, by this com mittee, for the establishing and maintenance of a Soldiers' Home. Seventh. That the invitation be extended by this Department to the Indiana Comniandery of the Loyal Legion, the Union Veteran Legion and the Woman's Relief Corps of this Department, and all soldiers of the Union, whether in any organization or not, to join in this work, and render such aid and assistance as to them may be deemed best; and the Ladies' Aid Society and auxiliary to the Sons of Veterans, and other societies. Department Commander and Comrades of Indiana, we close this re port with the same spirit of hope with which we entered the work a year ago. We believe the Home a necessity. The monument, which is now being built in our State, would never have been built but for the work and contributions of the Comrades of the Grand Army of the Re public. To you shall be the honor now of laying the foundation for a Soldiers' Home in our State, which shall be the crowning glory of the State and a haven of rest to our needy and destitute comrades for the years that shall remain to them until "taps," and they fall to sleep on this side of the river, and are wakened by the "reveille" of the eternal beyond. Respectfully submitted, JAMES R. CaRNAHAN, Chairman,. W. S. Haggard, Jasper E. Lewis, David N. Foster, C. J. Murphy, W. H. Tucker, Andrew Fitk. The report was submitted to a special committee consisting of W. H. Armstrong, of Post No. 17 ; C. H. Wyckoff, of Post No. 27; W. M. Cochran, of Post No. 869; David Flynn, of Post No. 3; 8. M. Compton, of Post No. 17, for consideration. 11— G. A. R. 162 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, Thb Dkpartmbni Commander : The last order of busi ness to-day is to decide where the next annual Encamp ment shall be held. Nominations of places are in order. Post Department Commander Walker placed Indian apolis in nomination, backed by the invitations of the Mayor, the Commercial Club and Board of Trade. Comrade Armstrong seconded. Comrade Haggard placed the city of Lafayette in nomination, paying a graceful tribute to Indianapolis, but urging that the members of the Encampment want to see the site of the proposed State Soldiers' Home. Several Comrades urged the selection of Lafayette on the same ground, and it was selected by a decided majority. Adjourned until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC 163 SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Thursday Morning, April 6, 1893. The Encampment opened in due form, Department Chaplain Riley offering prayer. Comrade Armstrong, of the committee to which the report of the Commmittee on Soldiers' Home had been referred, presented the following: Your committee, appointed to consider the report of the Committee on the State Soldiers' Home, have given said report careful considera tion, and recommend its adoption, and offer the following: Resolved, That the report of the special committee on the State Sol diers' Home be adopted and the recommendations therein made be con curred in, and that in view of the excellent service rendered by said committee it be continued as at present constituted, and that the meet ing of the General Committee shall occur but once annually, and that only the necessary traveling and hotel expenses incurred by its members shall be allowed therefor. Wm. H. Armstrong, Sam M. Compton, Chas. H. Myerhoff, W. M. Cochran, David H. Flynn. Past Department Commander Walker, of the Com mittee on Resolutions, reported the following resolution presented by Comrade H. W. Spahr, of Post No. 17 : Resolved, By the annual Encampment, Department of Indiana, Grand Army of the Republic, that we extend to Col. Eli Lilly and the citizens of Indianapolis our most cordial approval of the efficient efforts now being made for the entertainment of the National Encampment at that city in September next, and we pledge to him and them our earnest co-operation in that behalf. Yet we desire most earnestly to impress on all persons interested that we do not regard with indifference the perversion of the State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument from its original purpose to commemorate the services and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of Indiana in the war for the suppression of the late rebellion and the cause for which they fought, and we deem it our duty to our selves, to our fallen comrades and to posterity to deprecate the dedica 161 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, tion of the monument in its present perverted condition, and we believe that our visiting Comrades will not desire to participate in the dedica tion of the monument unless it be restored to its original purpose. Geo. W. Spahr. Your committee most heartily approves of and recommends the adop tion of this resolution. I. N. Walker, Jasper E. Lewis, M. Gabbioub, G. A. Zollinger. The report was unanimously concurred in. The same committee recommended the adoption of the fol lowing resolutions submitted by Comrade David H. Flynu, of Post No 3 : Whereas, Our recent Legislature during its late session had a bill before it for an appropriation to aid the Soldiers' Home of the State of Indiana, recently located in Tippecanoe County, and Whereas, A large sum of money has been expended upon the grounds to beautify and adorn the same by the committee in charge, the same having been contributed by the citizens and county of Tippecanoe alone; and, Whereas, The two great political parties each had a plank in their State platforms, pledging their support and advocating their hearty co operation with the Soldiers' Home of our State, and having been in session some sixty days and adjourned withovJ passing any bill for the relief or assistance of said Soldiers' Home ; and, Whereas, Numerous communications are received by the Commander and Adjutant of John A. Logan Post No. 3, asking for admission, rules, and regulations governing the same; therefore, be it Resolved, That no man will receive our individual or collective support at the next election for Representative or Senator who will not pledge himself beforehand openly to vote for an appropriation to our State Soldiers' Home, located in Tippecanoe County, Indiana; Resolved, That it is the sense of this Encampment that we believe it to be due to the poor and distressed soldiers who may be deserving that a State Soldiers' Home should be in part supported by our State.

Shaw, of Post No. 17 : GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 105 Resolved, That we enter our solemn protest against the vandalism recently perpetrated in Indiana, in the desecration of the graves and tombstones of the Union soldiers buried in her soil, as well as monuments erected by private or public funds, to commemorate the illustrious dead of the State's Union soldiers, whose bones lie unmarked in other States, as a more ignominious disgrace to the commonwealth, if possible, than the active or latent treason of a few of her citizens during the four years struggle, to the brave men whom these cowardly miscreants now try to calumniate before the people who venerate their memory. This report was concurred in. The same committee reported in favor of the adoption of the following, offered by Comrade W. H. Tucker, of Post No. 17 : Resolved, That the several G. A. R. Posts of each county in the State be and are hereby requested to appoint a State Soldiers' Home Com mittee, of members, and that said committees of each county meet jointly to organize, and to take such action as may seem best to raise by entertainments or by public subscriptions money for the State Soldiers' Home, and that such money raised be turned over to the State Soldiers' Home Committee.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 169 We also desire to specially endorse the recommendation that all law ful efforts to prevent 'the money that is paid to our Comrades for pen sions, being diverted to any other purpose than its legitimate use in the support of the soldier and his family. We heartily agree with the Com mander that this patriotic appropriation of the peoples' money should not be squandered in drunkenness and riotous living. We also desire to endorse the words and sentiments of the Commander in reference to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, and believe with him that it is the duty of the Union veterans to stand together and insist that the act of the Legislature, of 1887, shall be enforced to the end that the Monument shall be a Union War Monument "from founda tion stone to crowning figure, as it was intended to be." We also desire to express our hearty approval of the suggestion that all Comrades should come to the National Encampment at Indianapolis next September, in full uniform, so that the Indiana Department shall, for once, make a soldierly appearance in the great parade. We desire to heartily congratulate the Comrades of the Department of Indiana, the Department Commander and his official associates, upon the signally successful administration of affairs during the past your, and upon the present healthy and encouraging outlook for the future, as shown by the Commander's able and exhaustive review of Department affairs. We recommend that a suitable testimonial be presented to the Com mander in slight recognition of his untiring and successful work in behalf of our Order. Past Department Commander D. N. Foster: Senior Vice-Department Commander, I move that the vote on the adoption of the above report he taken by rising. This was agreed to, and upon the vote being put, Senior Vice Department Commander Dickinson de clared the report adopted by a unanimous vote. The Officer of the Day announced that a committee of the Woman's Relief Corps was at the door. A committee consisting of Past Department Com manders D. N. Foster, Ira J. Chase, C. A. Zollinger, J. L. McMasters and Junior Vice Department Commander Koch was appointed to escort the ladies to the plat form.

The Department Commander elect being called for, he came forward and spoke as follows : Commander and Comrades — I can find no words in which to express my heartfelt thanks for the great honor which you have con ferred. Other honors have come to me which I have appreciated, but none so great as to be called to the head of the Grand Army of the Republic in my native State. In assuming the duties of Commander for the ensuing year I appreciate the fact that it brings with it grave responsibilities. I call on every one of you for your hearty assistance. The Grand Army of the Nation has honored the Department of Indiana by selecting its beautiful capital for its National Encampment. I ask every one of you to pledge your earnest support that this Department may make such a showing on the occasion that we shall win the applause of the country. Headquarters will be at Indianapolis, and those head quarters will be open to the humblest member of the organization. Department Commander: The election of a Senior Vice Department Commander is now in order. I await nominations. The First District and all the others as they were called presented the name of Charles J. Murphy, of GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 171 Post No. 27 (Evansville). Thereupon the Department Commander directed the Assistant Adjutant-General to cast the vote of the Encampment for Charles J. Murphy, which he did, declaring that he had given 366 votes for that Comrade. Thereupon Charles J. Mur phy was declared elected Senior Vice Department Com mander. On the call for nominations for Junior Vice Depart ment Commander, W. V. Medsker, of Post No. 179, and G. W. Steinhacker, of Post No. 61, were put in nomi nation. It appearing to Comrade Steinhacker before the call was finished that Comrade Medsker had a pre ponderance of the votes, he withdrew his name and moved to make the nomination of Comrade Medsker unanimous, which was carried. The Assistant Adju tant-General casting the vote of the Encampment announced 36tf votes for W. F. Medsker, and he was declared elected. But one candidate being put in nomination for Med ical Director, Comrade John Y. Hitt, the Assistant Adjutant General, wae directed to cast the vote of the Encampment, which he did, reporting 366 votes for the nominee; thereupon he was declared elected Medical Director.

Booz, Post 369, Indianapolis, were put in nomina tion, and that nomination was made unanimous, and the Assistant Adjutant-General was directed to cast the vote of the Encampment for the above. On his reporting that he had cast 366 votes for the nominees, they were declared elected. During the election of officers Commander-in-Chief Weissert and Comrade J. W. Burst, of his staff, were escorted to the platform by Past Department Com mander Carnahan and Comrade W. H. Armstrong, of the National Council of Administration. The Com mander-in-Chief was presented to the Encampment in due form, and he proceeded to speak as follows : Commander and Comrades: For this cordial welcome tendered to your Commander-in-Chief, in the name of the comrades of this great order, I thank you. While I do not wish to take the time of the Encampment for the pur pose of making a lengthy speech, and thus delay the business for which you are assembled, I desire to call attention to a few practical sugges tions which occurred to me on examining your report for the term ended December 31, 1892. GRAND AKMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 173 By that report the Department of Indiana has, during the last term, sustained a loss, and the question arises: "What is the cause, and how can it be remedied?" You, Comrades, are mainly responsible for this loss. When you meet for the purpose of selecting officers you are not sufficiently careful whom you select. Sometimes a Comrade is chosen simply because "he is a good fellow." The result is that when the duties of the office are to be administered the officer fails to fill the requirements. Post officers fail to attend Post meetings regularly. In many instances they rarely attend. The comrades go to the post meetings and find one or two or three of the chairs vacant. This is repeated in some cases quite a number of times, and the comrades begin to think as the officers do not take an interest in the meetings they need not. Again, Post officers after they have served, and have been invested with a past officer's badge, neglect to attend Post meetings when it should be their highest privilege to attend the gatherings and give the Comrades the benefit of their experience. It does not speak well for any officer who has been honored by his Comrades with a position in the Post to forsake them as soon as his term of office expires. Be careful at Post elections to select Comrades who will give attention to the duties of the office to which they are elected. Kvery Comrade should be ready at any and all time< to assist the officers in the performance of their duties, to strengthen their hands, to encourage them in their labors, and it is the duty of all Past Post Officers to respect the confidence the Comrades placed in them, and when their term of office expires to attend the Post as regularly as possible, and assist in making the meetings interesting, and in sustaining the Post. It is the duty of the officers above all others to attend Post meetings promptly and regularly. If the officers are in their places promptly and regularly, the meetings will be enjoyable and interesting, the Post will prosper under such administration, and its success will be assured. The Twenty-Seventh National Encampment will be held in this Department in September next. It is a great undertaking, but I am sure Indiana will entertain the Comrades in a royal manner and meet every requirement. From observations in the various departments which I have visited in the past three months, 1 may say there will be a large attendance, and I look to the department of Indiana to do its whole duty to the Order. There should be very large accessions to your ranks before the close of the year. No Department in which a National Encampment has been held ever failed to show a great gain in comradeship during that year, and you will not fail in this. The gathering at Indianapolis will be for the Comrades of the (i. A. R. They will hold the business meetings of the Encampment, and their reunions and have the annual parade. Your action of yesterday in 174 FOUBTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, relation to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was unanimous in the direction of a determination not to participate in the ceremonies of dedicating the Indianapolis monument unless it is confined to the pur poses for which it was originally intended. Personally, I am fully in accord with you in this action, and officially shall not contravene the unanimously expressed wish of my Comrades of Indiana. I feel confident that our Order, judging from the sentiments I have heard expressed on this subject in various Depart ments, will universally endorse the same. Now, my Comrades, when you leave this Encampment and return to your Posts, let me ask you to go to work to increase the membership of our Order. Select only the best material for membership. En deavor to create an interest in post meetings and let us all unite in car rying out the great principles of Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty. Pursuant to the vote of the Encampment that a com mittee of three be appointed to see to the making of a suitable badge to be presented to Commander Cheadle, Senior Vice-Department Commander announced the following Comrades to attend to that duty : Past Department Commanders Chase and Walker, and Comrade W. F. Medsker. The committee to examine the reports of the Assist ant Adjutant-General and the Assistant Quartermaster- General submitted a report that upon careful examina tion the members of the committee had found the re ports of both these officers correct in every particular. The report was signed by W. M. Guy, John W. Senior and L. A. Foote Assistant Adjutant-General Robbins presented the report of the Council of Administration, as follows : The Council of Administration convened pursuant to General Order No. 15, at the St. George Hotel, at 4 p. M., April 4, 1893, with the following Comrades pres ent : Department Commander, J. B. Cheadle ; S. V. D. C, Phil. Dickinson ; J. V. D. C, Geo. H. Koch ; Chaplain, GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 175 G.

G. reported that on the death of Comrade Hugh Epsy, Department Inspector, he had announced in General Orders that he would perform the duties •out of respect to the deceased Comrade, but that the labors of the office had been found heavier than he could fill consistent with his other duties, and he had called on Comrade O. R. Weaver, who had conducted the annual inspection and made a very complete report, for which he ought to be paid. It was ordered that he be allowed $75.00. The A. Q M. G. reported to the Council that the finances of the Department were in a very satisfactory condition and the loans were secured by first mortgage on real estate. It was voted that $1,000 be loaned at not less than 6 per cent, interest in compliance with the law govern ing school fund loans by the State. The following report was received from the com mittee appointed to audit and examine the records, books and accounts of the Department, and was on motion approved : Indianapolis, April 3, 1893." To the Council of Administration : Your committee of the Council of Administration, who were by Gen eral Orders No. 11 appointed to audit and examine the records, books and accounts of the Assistant Adjutant-General and the Assistant Quar- master-General of this Department, beg leave to respectfully report that we have made a careful and complete examination of the books, records and accounts of said officers, and find them correct. The vouchers are all on file in the Assistant Quartermaster-General's office, and no pay ments have been made by that officer without proper authority. We take pleasure in commending these officers for the fidelity and *are shown by them in the discharge of their respective dutiex. We 176 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, especially commend the system of book-keeping that has been used by the Assistant Quartermaster-General for the past year, and recommend that it be adopted in the future. Respectfully submitted, G. P. Riley, H. B. Makepeace, W. F. Medsker. The Council recommended that the salaries of Assist ant Adjutant-General and Assistant Quartermaster- General should each be $900 per annum, subject to the payment of office rent, equal to the previous year. That the salary of Judge Advocate be $100, and of In spector General, $75 dollars per annum. The Assistant Quartermaster-General was directed to pay the actual expenses of the members of the Audit ing Committee and of members of the Council for this meeting, and other necessary expenses of the Encamp ment. Adopted. The report of the Assistant Quartermaster-General of amounts paid for expenses of State Soldiers' Home was approved. The order of business as adopted by the last Encamp ment was presented, and the Council recommended that it should be amended so as to limit speeches to five min utes, and that after each second ballot the lowest can didate shall be dropped at each successive ballot. On motion, it was resolved that the per capita tax shall remain the same as last year, viz.: Twenty cents per annum, payable ten cents with each semi-annual report. On motion, the A. Q. M. G. was directed to pay $40 for the reporter to report the proceedings of the En campment and prepare the same for the printer. Ordered that the bond of the A. Q. M. G. shall re main as last year, $5,000. The A. A. G. reported the number of members in. good standing in each Congressional District, and that GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 177 the Department was entitled to twenty-four delegates to the National Encampment in addition to one dele- gate-at-large. It was recommended that there shall be elected from each district two delegates and two alternates, except from the Fourth, Tenth and Twelfth, which should elect one each, and that the Fourth, Tenth and Twelfth Districts should also elect one delegate and one alter nate jointly. On motion, adjourned to meet at the call of the Com mander. On motion, the proceedings and recommendations of the Council were approved by the Encampment. Comrade George W. Spahr presented the following resolution, which was adopted by a rising vote : Rexolwtl, That the thanks of this Encampment be and they are hereby tendered to the Mayor and citizens of Evansville, to Farragut Post No. 27, the Women's Relief Corps and to the officer of the day and officer of guard and the guards in attendance for the uniform kindness and courtesy shown to all of lis during this Encampment. Department Commandhr: The next business in order is the installation of the officers for the ensuing year. Past Department Commander D. N. Foster is requested to act as installing officer, which he performed. When Department Commander-elect Jonhston had taken the obligation and was presented to Department Commander Cheadle, he spoke as follows : Commander Johnston: My duties as Commander will end when I have conveyed to you as my successor this badge. Before doing that, permit me to request each delegate present to carry to the Comrades they represent my grateful thanks for the honor conferred upon me and the loyal support they have given to me during the past year. I know you will be as faithful to this order and as loyal to my successor as you have been to all his predecessors; and now, Commander Johnston, I have the pleasure and honor of presenting to yon the Department Commander's badge. It has a history, not all of your predecessors have worn it, and yet it has been worn by Past Department Commanders Foster, Bennett, Vanosdol, Starmont, Chase, Travis, Walker and myself. 12 — O. A. R. 178 FOCRTKENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT. Accept it in the spirit of the principles of our beloved Order, and may your administration be one of great prosperity to the Grand Army of the Republic.

Senate Bill 853, to prevent the desecra tion of the Hag by advertisements or any other device, was unanimously indorsed. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 18! The report of the committee vindicating the management of Camp Morton from the false and infamous charges of Dr. John A. Wyeth was adopted with great enthusiasm. A demand was made that the rule of the Interior Department requir ing the affidavit of two enlisted men or one officer to establish a fact be repealed, and that the affidavit of an enlisted man be made equal with that of an officer in all pension cases. The sense of the Encampment, unanimously expressed, was that the Soldiers' Monument should be completed according to original designs, without change or cheapening. It also entered its protest against the usual banquet given to delegates and officers of the National Encampment as a useless expense and injurious in its influence. By order of JOSEPH H. CHEADLE, Official: Department Commander. IRVIN ROBBINS, Assistant Adjutant- General. General Orders | No. 3. ( I. Once more the swelling buds and universal awakening of nature under the influence of the genial breezes of spring remind a grateful Nation of the near approach of that day most sacred in the calendar of the Grand Army and most precious in the minds of our comradeship, the day memorial, when loyal citizens will pause a brief hour in the midst of the rush of life, turn back in memory more than a quarter of a century, and dwell with pride, mingled with tears of sorrow, as they contemplate the sacrifices made by the citizen soldiers whose remains are at rest in those narrow homes whose doors never swing outward. Monday, May 30, will be properly observed as Memorial Day by the Posts in this Department. To every Comrade this observance arises to the dignity of a personal duty. To properly commemorate the services of those who died in the defense of constitutional liberty should be the highest ambition and first duty of all who are to-day in the enjoyment of the rights these heroes secured at so great a sacrifice. Let wreaths, garlands and flags mark the grave of each sleeping hero, in testimony of the love and gratitude of the Nation, and as a lesson of loyalty to coming generations. Let each Comrade then and there renew his devotion to the cause for which they died. Let us resolve to cement 184 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, anew the bonds of comradeship, and to assist our Comrades and the families of our dead, and heroine seekers for recruits from those without our Posts. II. Invitations should he extended to all honorably discharged sol diers; to all societies and kindred organizations; to all patriotic citizens, and especially to the children, to join with us in the proper observance of this day. Bring with us the youth of our State, that they may here learn the true lesson of patriotism. III. It is recommended that each Post arrange for holding public religious services on Sunday, May 20, and, where it is practicable, (Com rades will assemble at their Post Hall and then attend in a body. Let a general invitation be given to all soldiers and citizens to meet with and participate in these services, the better to prepare our minds for the solemn ceremonies of Memorial Day. IV. Post Chaplains will make a full report to Department Chaplain Rev. (}. P. Riley, Marion, Ind., of the exercises, giving names of speak ers, cemeteries visited, number of graves decorated, and an estimate of the number of soldiers, citizens and children who took part in the ■Ceremonies.

These Comrades are appointed on the recommendation of their Commanders that they are capable and deserving. If they are willing to render such assistance to the Commander as may be required, and 1M FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, will so advise the Assistant Adjutant-General, commissions will be for warded to them. Each one should at once procure and wear their offi cial badges, and become conversant with the Ritual, Rules, Regulations and other duties, as promulgated in General Orders, which latter should be read at the first regular meeting after their reception. You are directed to report any dereliction of duty that comes to your knowl edge. IV. Where their Post is not represented in this Order, Post Com manders will recommend a Comrade as Aide, and one for Assistant In spector on the Staff of the Department Commander, without further delay. V. Assistant Inspectors will be announced in future Orders. VI. The Comrades in this Department will rejoice in the marvelous prosperity that has attended the Woman's Relief Corps of Indiana. The results accomplished by this organization are those no others could secure. They labor now, as during the war, for the honor of our homes, and for the glory of our Nation. Let us, Comrades, do all in our power to aid these noble women, whose only ambition is to work for our Com rades and their loved ones. Their prosperity is ours ; their loss we shall sustain; therefore, the hearty co-operation of this Department is due to them from every Comrade in Indiana. VII. The rapidly increased death-rate among Comrades admonishes us in a way we can not mistake, that ere long our work will be finished and that others must take up our tasks and go forward in carrying out the purposes of our Order. The Sons of Veterans have been commissioned to perforin that great duty. Their numbers are rapidly increasing, and the discipline required to impress upon them their duties is being en forced. They will have at all times the sympathy and aid of this De partment in their efforts to accomplish the patriotic results required of them. The principles of loyalty to country must be kept alive, and who, so well as Sons of Veterans, can do that patriotic work. VIII. Comrades desiring to ascertain the whereabouts of fellow- soldiers frequently address these headquarters. They will gain the desired information much quicker by writing to th.e "Army and Navy Survivors' Division," Pension Bureau, Washington, D. C, which is now in possession of quite complete service rolls. The Pension Bureau will be thankful to Posts for quarterly reports of changes in their roster such as are caused by gain of new recruits or by death or transfer. Officially franked blank service cards can be had on application to the Commissioner of Pensions. IX. The Twenty-sixth National Encampment will begin at Wash ington City September "21. The parade will take place on the 20th. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 187 This will doubtless be the largest and most impressive gathering of the Comrades since the grand procession of the victorious armies passed in review before the President in 1805. Indiana expects to go to Washing ton and obtain the National Encampment at Indianapolis in 1893. In order to do this, and at the same time give ourselves the grandest pleasure of a lifetime when there, every Comrade should at once begin his preparations. X. Those who intend going as organizations should advise the As sistant Adjutant-General as to the number who will attend. Several school-houses have been assigned to this Department. Already hun dreds have secured quarters. Delays may cause you inconvenience. Comrades should secure berths in sleeping-cars of the Assistant Quarter master-General at once, as the supply is limited: price $4.00 for double berth. XI. The Journal of the Department Encampment will be mailed next week to the Commander of each Post. Those who do not receive a copy by the 18th should inform this office. If any Post Commander has not received the Journal of Detroit National Encampment and will notify this office he will be supplied. XII. The proceedings, finding and sentence of Post court-martial in the ease of Thomas Elwood Starkey, of C. C. Wheeler Post No. !)8, are approved, and said Thomas E. Starkey is hereby dishonorably dis charged and dismissed from the Grand Army of the Republic. XIII. The following rejections are reported: George Trester, late private Co. E, 11th Ky.

The fare for the round trip will be $13.50 from this city, with corresponding rates from other points. Should there be a reduction in fare by other roads, all persons going over this route are guaranteed a similar reduction. The Assistant Quartermaster-General should be informed at once by Com rades or Posts who desire sleeping car accommodations. Department Headquarters will be at the Kiggs House. In the City Hall will be the place for registration and reunion. Comrades should prepare and wear a Corps Badge in a prominent place on their persons to facilitate recog nition. IV. With this Order are enclosed blanks for the Semi-Annual He- ports of the Adjutant and Quartermaster of each Post. Each one of you obligated yourselves to forward these reports promptly with the per rnpila tax, which is ten cent* for each member on the rolls June 30, 1892. The Fort Wayne Encampment indorsed the recommendation of the Assistant Adjutant-General that the Post Adjutants should on June 30, 1892, make out a complete list of all the members in good standing, with their rank, company and regiment, which is to be embodied in a record of the Order. This is considered by well-posted Comrades as one of the most important acts that this Department has undertaken for years, and it is urgently requested that every Post Commander and Ad jutant will recognize it to be their first duty to make this report strictly accurate, full and complete, and that it be mailed to the Assistant Ad jutant-General by June 30. 190 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, V. The attention of Post Officers is called to the matter of remit tances. These must be made in drafts or money orders, payable in this city to the order of (>. R. Weaver, A. Q. M. G. Checks on hanks outside this city can not be accepted. VI. The following re jections are reported: James J.

Ilovey, desires that every Comrade shall have an opportunity to con tribute his mite to this worthy object. With this in view the Commander, Adjutant and Quartermaster of each Post is hereby directed to act as a committee, with instructions to canvass their members and such other persons as may feel desirous of taking part in the work, and remit the sums collected in money orders on this city, payable to the Assistant Quartermaster-General, together with the names of the subscribers, when receipts containing the lithograph of Governor Hovey will be returned. It is intended to erect this statue by contributions of one dollar each. Let the Comrades who revere the memory of Ilovey at once forward their dollar through their Post Quartermaster. VIII. General Order No. 11, National Headquarters, are herewith enclosed. By order of JOSEPH B. CHEADLE, OFFICIAL: Depart mad Commander. IRVIN ROBBINS, Ass intant Adjutant- General. Headquarters Department of Indiana, j Grand Army of the Republic, Office of Assistant Adjutant-General, | Indianapolis, Ind., July 21, 1892. J General Orders) No. 6. j I.

" 532. G. W. Hise. " 277. J. J. Foster. II. The attention of every Comrade in this Department is called to the imperative duty resting upon them to secure recruits for our Order. Less than one-half the Comrades residing in this State are members of the O. A. R. There is no excuse for this. If each Comrade will con sider himself a special committee of one whose duty it is to secure a recruit, the problem will he solved, large additions will be made to our membership and the benefits of the Order will he sent into thousands of new homes. Under existing law Comrades suspended for non-payment of dues can he reinstated by the payment of one year's dues. The Commander asks every Comrade as a personal favor to see to it that an effort is at once made to secure recruits in every Post. Let us not for get that what is done must he done immediately, if our Comrades are to long enjoy the blessings of (J. A. R. Comradeship. Comrades, let not this appeal he made in vain! In this connection Comrades should be reminded that the laws of Indiana make it a misdemeanor, punishable with fine, for any person to wear the badge or buttonaire of the G. A. R., when not entitled to do so by rules and regulations. III. The Commander desires to impress on the Comrades their duty toward the orphans at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home at Knightstown. On the occasion of the dedication of Lincoln Hall, June 23, an oppor tunity was offered to witness the full scope of work accomplished by the Board of Trustees, officials and teachers. The boys and girls are com pleting their course of study every year and are trying to find places to take up their life work. Comrades can be of great assistance to the Home by securing places for these orphans, and afterward keeping watch over them and see that they are properly eared for. Let us not forget our duty to these orphans. Great credit is due to Comrades of J. B. Mason Post, No. 168, and their W. R. C, at Knightstown, for their efforts in behalf of our orphans and for their assistance at the dedication of the chapel. IV. The Twenty-Sixth Annual Session of the National Encampment, Grand Army of the Republic, will be held at Washington, D.

The Headquarters will also occupy the District Court Room, City Hall, where all Comrades are requested to report and register on their arrival, and where letters and telegrams may he addressed. All Comrades of this Department are earnestly requested to accompany Headquarters' train, and to take part in the great parade occurring Tuesday, September 20, and to report at the rendezvous, as published in the AVashington papers. Persons desiring rooms and quarters at Washington, and not other wise provided for, can have same secured by addressing at once, Col. L. P. Wright, Chairman of Committee on Accommodations, Washington, I). C. Free sleeping accommodations have been provided in school-houses for such Comrades as desire them. Those availing themselves thereof must take blankets with them. The Headquarters of this Department will be closed from Saturday, September 17 to September 29, during the absence of the Department officers while attending the National Encampment. If any delegate elected at the last Encampment to represent the De partment of Indiana, shall find himself, for any reason, unable to go to Washington, he should, as early as possible, notify the Assistant Adju tant-General, so that an alternate may be notified, and a full represen tation insured.

CHEADLE, OFFICIAL: • Department Commander. IRVIN BOBBINS, Annuitant Adjutant-General. Headquarters Department of Indiana, ] Grand Army of the Republic, Office ok Assistant Adjutant-General, j Indianapolis, Ind., August 30, 1892. J General Orders | No. 7. ( I. The near approach of the time for the National Encampment at Washington City admonishes us that preparations must be at once com pleted. The negligence of many Posts will cause Comrades much incon venience unless action is taken without further delay. Applications for sleeping places must be filed in this office at once. Many Posts have already been located. W. E. Shilling, Commander of Post 17, is ap pointed to the command of the high school building, at Washington ; Geo. W. Coquillard, Commander of Post 8, to the command of the Twining school building; I. N. Medsker, Commander of Post 40, to the command of the Morse school building, and H. M. Caylor, of Post 133, to the command of the barracks to which Indiana Comrades shall be assigned. The Commander hopes that these Comrades will have an easy task, and that each Comrade will assist to preserve the buildings and furniture. II. The Department Commander and Staff have exercised their best ability to secure ample railroad facilities for Comrades and their friends desiring to visit Washington, and have selected the Big Four and Ches apeake & Ohio Railroads as the route for the headquarters train. It is hoped that the Comrades will stand by their officers, and, when it will not inconvenience them to do so, they should most certainly go by this route if they desire the Department Headquarters to exert any influence with the railroads in their behalf hereafter. The train will leave In dianapolis at 3 I". M., Saturday, September 17, 1.S92. All who can do so. should provide themselves with one day's rations and the smallest amount of baggage that they can possibly use. Those desiring free quar ters should take a blanket with them. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 195 III. Past Department Commanders, Delegates and Alternates will please report to the Assistant Adjutant-General, at the Riggs House, immediately on arrival. All Comrades are requested to register at the City Hall, on arrival, giving their location in the city. Letters and tel egrams should be sent to City Hall for all Comrades, except officials, which should he sent to the Riggs House. Every Comrade of this De partment who is located north of Pennsylvania Avenue is requested to meet at City Hall building, on Judiciary Square, on Tuesday, Septem ber 20, at !) o'clock A. M. and take part in the parade. All Comrades located south of Pennsylvania Avenue will join the column at south end of the Capitol, at 10 o'clock. Posts having music will be assigned to advantageous positions in the column. The great probability that In dianapolis will be selected as the location of the next National Encamp ment, should prompt every Comrade to exert himself to assist in pro ducing a good impression. IV. In accordance with the act of Congress, the -100th anniversary of the discovery of America will be celebrated on the 21st day of October, 1892. This event is one of the most important anniversaries that will occur during the existence of our Order, and should be marked by the most impressive ceremonies befitting a free and enlightened nation. It is proper that Comrades who have so recently taken such an important part in the preservation of free government, and thereby in the exten sion of education, should step to the front and lead in this celebration. The Commander desires Posts to take action at once, to appoint com mittees and consult with school authorities, tendering them the assist ance of the G. A. R. in the morning exercises of the schools, and inviting the co-operation of the citizens generally in preparing for a general ob servance in the afternoon and at night. Posts will assemble in uniform and with badges and endeavor to lend dignity and patriotic fervor to the occasion. Wherever possible have parades and endeavor to bring recruits to our ranks while the feelings of the soldiers are aroused. V. The fact is conceded by every intelligent man that the greatest evil of the age is the demon drink habit. It follows, therefore, that the greatest calamity that can befall any of our Comrades is to become an habitual drunkard. We can not longer close our eyes to the fact that many comrades are slaves to this habit, and that of this number many — very many — are pensioners. If one Comrade should be more circumspect than another in his daily walk in life, and exercise greater care in his conduct as a citizen, that Comrade is the one who is the recipient of the nation's gratitude as a pensioner. Comrades, you need not be told, for you all know that very much in this regard is expected of our pensioners. The mission of this Order is to lead in every effort that lias for its object the welfare and happiness of our Comrades. Drunkenness is conceded to be a disease and the laws of our State have 1% FOURTEENTH ANNUAL, ENCAMPMENT, made ample provision for the pare of the property and income of those who, thus diseased, can not properly care for and protect themselves. Special attention is called to this subject and the Commanders of Posts in this Department are requested, in the event that any pensioner, whether a member of the Order or not, who resides in their vicinity, is an habitual drunkard, to appoint a committee whose duty it shall be to visit the Comrade and intercede with him to quit the drink habit, and, also, to call upon the men w ho sell intoxicants in the locality and give them notice not to sell the Comrade (naming him) any more liquors. Should the Comrade persist in using intoxicants after this notice. Post Commanders are directed to personally see that a guardian is appointed for every such Comrade, in accordance with section 4,318 of the Revised Statutes of 1881, in order that our own unfortunate Comrades, and especially their wives and children, may receive some benefit from the pension granted by a grateful nation. Fidelity to this order and to these Comrades demands that we invoke the aid of every known agency to rescue those who have become slaves to the drink habit. VI. Badges, similar in design to that of the Grand Army of the Republic, and containing the picture of political candidates, have been made and are offered for sale and now being worn by citizens in this De partment. This Order is not, and never can be made, in any sense par tisan and political. Its badge is, and can be, emblematic only of the three cardinal principles of the Grand Army, and this badge should never be degraded by being used to serve partisan purposes. Post Officers and Comrades in this Department are directed to refrain from wearing, or in any manner whatever encourage the wearing, of any of these badges. By doing this we can properly rebuke those who would bring reproach upon, and at the same time maintain inviolate the im perishable glory that attaches to the genuine badge of the G. A. R. The nation is entering upon a campaign in which the discussion of political questions at issue is calculated to engender differences and bad blood. Comrades are urged not to discuss in Posts any political ques tions whatever, and Posts are directed to refrain from participating as organizations in any of the political demonstrations. Ijet us adhere strictly to the principles of this Order. VII. Headquarters will be closed from September 17 to September 29, inclusive. Requisitions for supplies must reach the Assistant Quar termaster-General before September !•">, to insure attention. VIII. Joseph Westbrook, St. Edward P. ()., Nebraska, has a testa ment picked up on the battlefield at Fort Donelson, February 17, 1802, in which is the name of Fred. Snelenbarger, Evansville. Any one inter ested can obtain it, as above.

GRAND ABMY OF THE REPOBLIC. 197 Headquarters Department of Indiana, 1 Grand Army of the Republic, I Office of Assistant Adjutant-General, I Indianapolis, Ind., October 14, 1892. J General Orders ) No. 8. / I. The Department Commander tenders his congratulations to the Comrades and patriotic citizens of Indiana, who with such unanimity and so successfully advocated the acceptance of the invitations of our last Department Encampment and of the city of Indianapolis to the Grand Army of the Republic, to hold the Twenty-Seventh National Encampment in this city in the fall of 1893. While all of us are proud, that, for the third time, our Comrades will be welcomed to our Capital, we must also recognize the fact that a great amount of earnest, energetic work is thus placed on every Comrade of this Department. It will be an event of moment not only to Indianapolis, but to the great State of In diana. While more than a hundred thousand Comrades, and twice as many of their friends, assembled at Washington to take part in or wit ness the grandest parade of citizen soldiery that ever trod the earth, we must bear in mind that next year w ill doubtless duplicate this display. Every Post and every Comrade should endeavor to double our numbers this winter and prepare to take part as Uniformed Soldiers, when our Comrades from other Departments honor us by their presence. II. This Uniform will consist, as heretofore, of dark blue pants and single breasted blouse with five G. A. R. buttons, and soft black hat with gold cord, to which will be added a white belt. III. The Indiana Division of the grand parade contained over fifteen hundred Comrades, led by the band of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, at Knightstown, which attracted universal attention. Our divis ion also contained the only banner ''Teach Patriotism in the Public Schools." IV. The National Encampment decided several questions in which we are all interested, as follows: a. The annual inspection is fixed to take place at the same meeting and before the installation of officers, at the first meeting in January. The Installing officer acts as Inspector, and makes his report on or be fore March 1st to the A. A.-G. 6. The flag order of Commander-in-Chief Palmer was indorsed. r. Requesting that the census of veterans of the war and their post- office addresses be published immediately. if. Asking Congress to provide for the erection of a monument to the private soldiers of the army. e. The selection of Comrade Wm. H. Armstrong, of this city, as a member of the National Council of Administration. /. The policy of semi-annual reports was continued. 19S FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, V. Comrade Eli Lilly, of Post 17, hats been selected as president of the Citizens' Committee to prepare for the reception and entertainment of the National Encampment. He is most heartily endorsed and recom mended to the Comrades as in every way fitted for the position. Every one is requested to give him the best assistance that can be afforded. VI. The attention of Posts is called to the following sections of R. and R.: Section 2. Any Comrade against whom no charges exist, and who has paid all dues, shall receive, upon verbal or written application to the Commander, at a meeting of the Post, a transfer card attested by the Adjutant. Upon presentation of it to any Post within one year from date of its issue, he may be admitted in the manner prescribed in Article III of this Chapter. In the meantime he shall remain, for the purposes of discipline only, under the jurisdiction of the Post granting the trans fer card. If, at the expiration of a year, he has not been admitted to membership in any Post the transfer card shall be void, and the holder be considered as honorably discharged from the Order. This section applies only to those Comrades who desire to change their membership from one Post to another. Hut when a Comrade desires lo sever his connection entirely with the (i. A. B., the following section is applicable: Section 3. Any Comrade in good standing, on application to the Post Commander at a regular meeting, shall receive at some subsequent meeting an honorable discharge, signed by the Post Commander and attested by the Adjutant : Provided, That at the time of such applica tion there are no pecuniary charges against him on account of the Post.

CHEADLE, Official: Department Commander. IRVIN R0BB1NS, Assistant Adjutant- General. Headquarters Department of Indiana, I Grand Army of the Republic, Office of Assistant Adjutant-General, | Indianapolis, Ind., October 14, 1892. J Circular Letter. To All Comrades: The Commander would call the special attention of every Comrade in this Department to this fact : Indiana Comrades have a smaller per cent, of uniformed men than any other Department in the North, and many unfavorable comments were made at the Washington Encamp ment about this condition of the Department. The next Encampment meets at Indianapolis. State pride ought to enable us to stand at the head of the list, and not at the foot. I there fore issue this special circular, and ask every Comrade to consider it a personal appeal to him to use his personal efforts in securing a suitable uniform for every Comrade in this Department. I do not advise the purchase of an expensive outfit, but I do urge the purchase of a hat, blouse and pants of uniform color, so that our Com rades may, at the Encampment of 1893, make a creditable and soldierly appearance. And, in order to secure this result, I ask the hearty co operation of every Comrade in the Department, and especially those who are blest with a goodly share of wealth, and who are thus able to uniform themselves and aid their less fortunate Comrades without feel ing the burden of its cost. Comrades, we should have in line at the Indianapolis Encampment next year '20,000 uniformed Comrades. We can have that number if you will each do your duty. Let each Comrade and every Post at once be gin the work, and also let us see to it that all our Comrades who have been suspended are reinstated, and that others are mustered, so that In diana may report not less than 35,000 Comrades at the next National Encampment. There is a great work before us. Let us take hold of it with courage, and make it a success. 2C0 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, The entertainment of the National Encampment will require an ex penditure of $150,000, a portion of which should be appropriated by the legislature. Our Comrades are requested to obtain a pledge from the candidates of all parties, that the great State of Indiana will assist in this labor of love as other States have done in the past. The circular of Citizens' Committee enclosed herewith is commended, and Post Commanders are requested to take action in accordance there with at once. JOSEPH B. CHEADLE, Official: Department Commanilrr. IRVIN BOBBINS, Ansislant Adjutant-General. Headquarters Department of Indiana, ] Grand Army of the Republic, | Office of Assistant Adjutant-General, Indianapolis, Ind., November 4, 189& I Circclar Letter. To Alt Comrades: The attention of Posts is recalled to the Circular prepared by the Comrades of Indianapolis in July last and scut to each Post, in which il was explained that in the upper astragal of the monument, now being erected in this city to commemorate the sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of Indiana in the war for the preservation of the Union, from IXtil to 1866, there had recently been placed large figures, 184ti-lS48, thus seeking to place the war with Mexico on an absolute equality with the war of the rebellion. Many Posts, numbering over ten thousand Comrades, passed resolutions protesting against the violation of the orig inal intention of this monument, and asking the Commissioners to remove said figures and to place nothing on the face thereof, except reference to the soldiers and sailors who fought to preserve the Union. The Department Officers presented these resolutions to the Board of Monument Commissioners in August last, and have received no answer as yet to our request. At a recent meeting of said Board, they claimed that said resolutions ilid not truly represent the sentiments of the Com rades of this Department. It is therefore requested that Post Commanders will, on or before the I9tll day of November, 1892, at their first regular meeting, if held before that time, or at a special meeting to be held on or before that date, lav this circular letter before their respective Posts and take a vote on this subject. The plain question presented is this: Do the Comrades GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 201 desire to ratify and approve the action taken by their Indianapolis Com rades and Department Officials, and to prosecute the matter to a success ful termination? Commanders of Posts are directed to forward the result of the vote of their Posts to A. A.-G., at Indianapolis, at once; the report to be signed by the Commander and Adjutant, and stating the number of Comrades in favor of and the number who are against the proposition. JOSEPH P.. CHEADLE, OFFICIAL: Jtejxirhiteiit Commander. IEVIS BOBBINS, A*si*tant Adjutant- General. Headquarters Department of Indiana, ] Grand Army of the Republic, Officio of Assistant Adjutant-General, Indianapolis, Ind., November 2(>, 1892. I General Orders No. 9. I. The Department Commander, with feelings of profound sorrow, announces that death has entered the Official Staff, taking away our Department Inspector, Comrade Hugh Espy, of Post No. 94, Rising Sun, who departed this life November 7, 1892, universally beloved and respected by Comrades and neighbors. Out of respect to his mem ory, the vacancy will not be tilled, and the duties of his office will be performed by the Assistant Adjutant-General for the rest of the year. II. The time is near at hand for the selection of Comrades to fill . the offices, and carry forward the Post work during the coming year; and the Department Commander hopes that the members of the various Posts will look well to the ability and energy of the Comrades selected. Those who are careless or indifferent of their duties as members w ill not make aggressive, wide-awake officers; nor should they be selected to fill such positions because of social influence, or any consideration other than the advancement and best interests of the Order. Comrades, look to it that the first meeting night in December brings an awakening to the Posts throughout the Department. Make it a consideration of nom ination ami election that a Comrade must not accept any official posi tion unless he can see his way clear and will bind himself to be at his post of duty on meeting nights. Empty official chairs are discouraging to the best members of any post, and the bad effects of such dereliction of duty can be avoided by Comrades standing firmly together and se lecting such Comrades as have the interest of the Order at heart. Only 202 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, those should he elected delegates who will pledge themselves to attend the next Department Encampment at Evansville. In this connection Post officers should be selected who will exert themselves to bring a full delegation to the National Encampment in this city, next September, in uniform and wearing thei.r appropriate badges. III. Enclosed herewith are blanks for report of result of election to be held in each Post at the first meeting in December. One of these ■hould be filled up according to instructions thereon, and mailed at once to the A. A.-G. The other will be your credentials to take with yon. IV. Enclosed with this order will be found blanks for semi-annual reports of Adjutant, Quartermaster, Surgeon and the Mortuary Report, that should all be filled up and mailed to the Assistant Adjutant Gen eral by December HI, 1892. The Mortuary Report must contain the name, age, rank, company, regiment and date of death of every Com rade of your Post who has died at any time during 1892, as shown by your two semi-annual reports. If your Adjutant has not yet done so, he must Bend a complete list of every Comrade in good standing. This list will be copied into a book to make a register of our Order, and it can only be done by every Adju tant doing his duty at once. V. The attention of Post Commanders is directed to the action of the National Encampment on the subject of inspection. It was ordered by resolution that the officer who installs the new officers of each Post in January shall, before installing them, and at the same meeting, inspect the Post. A thorough inspection is therefore ordered, and it must give the condition of the Post up to December 31, 1892. Proper blanks arc enclosed with this order. Post Commanders will endeavor to have a full attendance. The installing and inspecting officer will enclose his report and letter of transmittal by first mail to the Assistant Adjutant- General, Indianapolis. The Senior Past Post Commander present on the night of installation is hereby authorized to inspect his Post and install the officers. In case no such officer is present, the Senior or Junior Post Commander will act. When any Department officer is present, and so desires, he will have the right to perform these duties. If any Post desires some other Comrade to act, and will so recommend, with the reason, a special detail will be made for the occasion. VI. The Commander desires to impress upon Comrades that on the approach of the holidays each one should seek out some worthy soldier or the widow and orphans of a deceased Oorarade, and administer to their wants as he has been blessed. No Post can find anywhere more deserving objects of charity than the orphans at the Knightstown Home. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 2U3 We should endeavor to make Christmas a happy day to each one of the six hundred orphans. Their cases have been examined by competent committees before their admission. They have shown proofs of their appreciation of the bounty of the G. A. R. on preceding holidays. All remittances should be sent to O. R. Weaver, A. Q.-M.-General, before December 10, which will be applied to the best advantage. VII. On the Kith of this month the Commander-in-Chief, A. G. Weissert, with his staff and the Executive Committee, visited this city and fixed the date of the next National Encampment on September ti, 1893. Information from all parts of the country impress us with the fact that this will be the largest assemblage of Comrades that has ever occurred. The honor of Indiana is at stake that these Comrades from all over the Union shall have a cordial and hearty welcome. Every Post is expected to at once begin vigorous measures for recruiting their ranks and uniforming for the parade. It is intended to have a re-union of all the Indiana regiments during the Encampment, at which all the battle-flags of every Command shall be displayed upon the streets for the only time in a generation. This fact alone should bring every survivor of the Indiana contingent of two hundred thousand men to their Capital once more. We hope to greet them wearing the badge of the G. A. R. and show them the flags that waved when victory crowned their folds or drooped when defeat and death came to our ranks. VIII. During the last National Encampment, Comrade Charles Matthews, of Washington, brought to the A. A. G. several photographs that had miscarried in the mails during the war. These will be restored to the relatives of those named below on proper representation. Sergeant Alonzo Blakely, Co. C, 44th Ind. Adjutant H. H. Hitchcock, KOth Ind. Lieutenant Chambers Cox, Co. K, 1st Ind. Heavy Artillery. Lieutenant George W. Groshart, Co. F, 23d Ind., New Albany. Wm. F. Haigh, Co. I, 66th Ind. W. I). Archer, Co. F, 82d Ind., Muncie. Lieutenant J. A. Beecher, 12i(th Ind. Lieutenant Abram Davis. Sergeant Cyrus Oliver Hanes. Sergeant Wm. Tripp, Peru. Lieutenant James M. Smith, Evansville. IX. The last Encampment directed that arrangements should be made to secure suitable quarters in the State House lor Headquarters and the preservation of the voluminous records of this Department. The officers of Post situated near the residences of Senators or Repre sentatives are requested to present this matter to these members and endeavor to secure favorable action before the New Year. 204 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT, X. Recent papers have described the defilement of soldiers' graves by men during drunken orgies. While this does not excuse such acts in the law or in public opinion, it is the highest duty of Posts to seek out the perpetrators of these outrages, and have the utmost punishment meted out to them by law and hold them up to popular indignation. Only the lowest depravity can be capable of offering disrespect to the dead. XI. The Commander is gratified at the hearty endorsement, by Posts and Comrades in every section of the State, of the action of the Depart ment officials, in regard to the preversion of the original design of the Soldiers' Monument in this city. This has been almost unanimous as far as heard from. He desires to hear an expression from every l'ost, either for or against. XII. The following rejection is reported: John Hathway, late private Co. E., 88th Ind., by Sion S. Bass Post, No. 40, Fort Wayne. By order of JOSEPH B. CHEADLE, OFFICIAL: Dejxirlintiil ('imimandrr. IRV1X ROBBINS, Axxi*tant Adjutant-drneml.

The Commander-in-Chief has advised the Department Commander that it will be convenient for him to be present at Evansville on the Oth day of April, and, after consultation with several members of the Coun cil, that date has been fixed as the time of the assembling of the next Encampment. Further announcements will be made in future orders. II. In order to complete the roll of the Encampment and place this office in communication with Posts, the Commanders who have not done so will at once send their election certificates to the A. A. G. At the same time fill up the Mortuary Report with a full statement of the name, rank, company, regiment and date of death of each member of your Post who has died since January 1, 1S!)'2. These facts are pub lished annually, and extra care is requested in perfecting this list. fJRAND ABMY OF THE REPUBLIC. •_>05 III. Many Posts are delinquent in their semi-annual reports for December 31, 1892. The new National Countersign has been sent by <). R. Weaver, A. Q.-M.-G., in the same envelope with his receipt for per capita in every case where the reports are correct. Any Post that has not receiver! this slip will know that their reports have not reached this office, or, if received, are not correct. Your immediate attention to this matter will benefit your Post and place you right on the records. Your reports are copied for National Headquarters, and should be for warded during this week. . IV. The rapid approach of the time when we hope to welcome a hundred thousand of our visiting Comrades in this city, behooves every Comrade to make extra exertions to recruit his Post from the soldiers who have never joined our ranks, as well as by the reinstatement of those who have been suspended for non-payment of dues. The National Encampment is for members of the G. A. K. only, no others being per mitted to participate, ( all attention of suspended Comrades to the law of the State, that any person wearing the badge or buttonaire of the G. A. K., when not in good standing, is liable to a hue of twenty dol lars. No Post can officially take part in the burial of a soldier who is not a member in good standing. In such cases our ritual can not be used. This does not preclude the attendance of Comrades in their individual capacity; hut only applies to the rules of our Order that it is not to be used for those who have not borne its burdens. V. The A. Q. M. G. has received the revised edition of Rules and Regulations, which contain many changes. Every Post should have several copies. Price, five cents each. VI. The following rejections are reported: Sim Jackson, late pri vate Company B, 107 I*. S. colored troops, by Ben North Post No. 94, Rising Sun; John Arnold, late private Company B, 135 Ind. Vols., by John F. Ruckle Post 165, Indianapolis. VII. The proceedings, findings and sentence in the case of William P. Aker, of John Coons Post, No. 99, are approved, and said William P. Aker is hereby dishonorably discharged and dismissed from the Grand Army of the Republic. By order of JOSEPH B. CHEADLE, Official: Department Commander. IRVIN ROBB1NS, . I sgixtant Adjutant-General.
