Retire Right Fairly Earned And Encampment Honors Warener
The convention report confirms the right to retire has been fairly earned and that the encampment will not seek reappointment. Generals Sherman Devens and Past Commander Warner were honored with applause and bronze gifts. A delegation from the Woman's Relief Corps was received with praise and statistics shared. The ritual debate led to restoring the old ritual by a near unanimous vote and a rule change proposal for past department commanders. The council commended Commander-in-Chief Alfred and adjourned for a two hour break.

Vote leads to minority victory and Grant fund update
A vote produced 174 ballots for the minority and 160 for the majority, the minority being declared adopted. Mr. Bennett of Illinois protested the vote as violating rules prohibiting partisan discussion. The Grant Fund committee reported about 11,000 on hand, noting a Senate bill and favorable House action for a marble General Grant statue and recommended a design committee if the resolution passes both houses. The Grand Army established a revision committee for rules and blue book, elected a surgeon general, and mourned John Boyle O Reilly, ordering a memorial message to his family as the convention adjourned sine die.
