Grand Army Encampment Sees McKinley Praised at Philadelphia
At Cincinnati and Philadelphia headquarters last night, the Grand Army of the Republic selected Col. James A. Sexton as commander-in-chief and outlined pension reforms. The adjutant general reported 319,456 members in good standing, with a net gain of 32,453 and losses of 46,306 for the year. The encampment adopted resolutions praising President McKinley and Secretary Alger, urging pension-law fairness, and supporting widow's pension rights. The Ladies Relief corps seeks relief funds for Spanish-American War soldiers, and a measure to admit Spanish War veterans to G A R was tabled. Madrid notes the Senate passed a peace bill under protocol terms.

Representative Quigg said Roosevelt is the likely Republican nominee for governor with over 800 of 971 convention votes.
