Tis resolutions also compliment Gen. black's administration of the Pension O?loo. Gon. Rosecrans was requested to deliver copies ol these resolutions to both tho President and to Gon. black. To day ho called oil tho Pl'< sidont and in presenting them said: OBN. ItOSEOUANS' Al'OKl'ss. .?Mr. Prosideut, at tho request of tho National Veterans' Association, of Des Moines, Iowa, in mass convention as sembled, on tho 15th day of July ultimo, 1 have tho honor to present to you this engrossed copy of the resolutions then passed, declaring the views of those veterans respecting the attempts (d' cer tain oll'icers and Uicmbi rs ol the society of tko Grand Army of tho Republic to prevent tho President of tho United ?States Iron: accepting hospitalities ten dered to bim by Ino city ol St. l ouis on tho occasion of tiie mea ling of the Na tional Kneampuv.nt of the Grand Army of the Ropubho, which bad voted lo be come her guests. "As a member of that society it alfords mo pleasure to perform this duty and to statu my concurrence in tho sentiment expressed Ul thoso resolutions. I am pleased to say that I believe tho general tenor of these resolutions is in accord with thc views and feelings ot tho vast majority of tho members of tho Grand Army of tho Republic as to the loyal re spect due tho Chief Magistrate of tho Union, and as to tho impropriety of de nouncing him for doing what ho believe* to bo bis olHoial duty. 1 feel equally assured that those sentiments will com mand the assent of that much larg', i body of ox-Union soldiers not belonging to thc society of tho Grand Army of tho Republic who are surviving mom bora of the real (iran:! Army of tho Republic, whick, after having saved tho nation's life, dissolved aud joined the great in dustrial body which assures tho wealth, tho glory and thc prosperity ?d' our country. TUE I'Kr.SUU.vi's lUU'l.V. President Cleveland, replying to (?cn. Roscoraus, tsui. I : "Without reading Ibo resolutions pre sented by you in such a gratifying milli ner, 1 have only to say that, judging from tho tenor <>l your remarks, the action of th" veterans mentioned is in the direction of acknowledging the. duty w hich devolves upon them us veterans, io eniphiisi/.e the value ol their BOl'vicos in tho held by patriotic -i rvici nt home, und to demonstrate tho samo bravery shown in battle by o courago no less conspicuous when called upon to dcfouil and maintain tho freedom nnd patriotism which in peace is tho safety of American institutions. I udorstauding this to bo ?bc purpose of tho resolutions, lani glad io receive them at your bands." Gen. Rosecrans to-day sent tho follow ing note to Commissioner Black, with copies of tho resolutions: "?KNKI?AI.: In compliance w i th the re quest contained in thc accompanying letter from tho chairman ot the commit tee OU r?solutions, it a ?Voids mo groat pleasure to present this engrossed copy of the resolutions expressing the senti ments of the Deinooratio veterans of tho National Veterans' Association, of Dos Moines, Iowa, m mass convention as sembled duly 16, 1887. SOOIIINO oKN. *rt n ra:. "Those resolutions are rejileto with patriotism, good sonso and jus,t donun ciution of tho disloyalty to tue country and treason to the sjiirit ot the society of tho Grand Army of tho Ropubho manifested ill tho recent attempts of certain (dimers and members pf that Or ganization to raise for partisan purposes an outcry against tho Chit! Magistrate of the nation, and to prevent him from accepting tho hospitalities tendered him by the city of ?St. bonis at tho sumo time that tiie Nat ional l ocum, on nt of that order bad accepted her invitation to a generous welcome. No leas gratifying aro tho declarations of tho resolutions, characterizing as wholly incompatible with that loyalty which is ono of the threo fundamentals of that society tho attempt to uso its voice in denunciation of the President for tho discharge of a painful duty according t>> his judgmonl and conseil nee. "When it is remembered that largely moro than one-half tho rank and tile of tho Union army, probably of thoso on listing for tho three months' service and Certainly of those who came in after wards, were either Domooratioor merely Union moil, it will be plainly seen why tho G. A, li. as a Republican machino was a miserable failure; why it at ii litter tima only revived when non?partisanship was made fundamental; w hy the hypoc risy of violating this principle by taxing small partisan advantages in tho choice of its officers, posts and commandories and tho paying of special public favors and honors to comrades of the Republi can porsuasion had hitherto created such a disgust of its spirit as to prevent thc society from including double and possi bly triplo its present membership and commanding universal respoot for thal self-controlling loyally which covered with glory its members during tho dark days of war for tho Union. "Tho resolutions well say that if this spirit of partisanship cannot be restrain ed it will bo a matter to bo considered whothor tho survivors of thc real Grand Anny of the Republic would uot bettor have some other organisation. "I takf pleasure in noting tho just commonti.*.tion given in tho resolutions to tho administration <d the I'elision OJHoo since you have been Commissioner of Pensions. Yours truly, "W. S.
