f{.pcial to the Globe.
St. Lor is, Sept. 3€.—Judge Rea cf
Minneapolis was this afternoon elected
commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. on
the first ballet. A Globe report*
found the judge in his room at the
Southern a short time
after the convention
adjourned this after
noon. He-was busy
reading congratula
tory telegrams that i
had been pouring in
upon him. Most of
i them, but not all,
1 were from Minneapo
lis and St, Paul.;
V- • I'm sure I would
J ike to accommodate
SjVou," he said, when'
/the reporter stated
that he had come af
ter an interview,
"but lam as busy as a man possibly
could be, and then 1 have not much to
say. except this, and that I am glad to
state, 1 simply feel exceedingly compli- .
mented over the vote I received, " and
am very much gratified over the action
of othe national encampment through
out."
"Were you surprised at the result?
"Well, i was surprised at the majority
I received, and at the way in which the
matter was carried through I certainly
did not expect to be elected . -, ■....
Pox THE FIRST HALLOT."
"What do you think of the outlook of
the order?"
"No, no; I don't want-to talk to you
about that. It is entirely to soon to be
gin talking about what policy I am going,
to pursue, and so on. You may. merely
say that the harmonious feeling which
pervaded the , encampment has been
most grateful to me. '-The acts of legis
lation throughout have been marked by
wisdom of the highest order, and v.ill
result in • strengthening the ties of fra
ternity among the Grand Army men of
the United States."
James 11. Drake, of St. Paul, was the
chairman of the executive committee'
chosen by the Minnesota delegation to
look after Judge Rea's interests, and it
; can not be denied that the- success of
the Minnesota man is in a great meas
ure due to Mr. Drake's efforts. "'..,
"Now ." that it is all over, to what do
you most attribute Judge Rea's suc
cess?'.'the reporter asked.
"Well, sir,; they couldn't resist Rea,"
said Mr.Drake. "The fight was won
simply because we had a candidate that
couldn't be resisted. Not a word could
be breathed against him in any possible
way, and all elements ..'■'•- 7. *:;
FLOCKED TO RIP SUPPORT.
The wisdom' and conservatism, the
energy and character of the man over
came all obstacles and all questions of
location. I esteem it an unusual com
pliment to Judge in that of COO delegates
lie should have been chosen, despite the
fact that tlie preceding commander in
chief was from Wisconsin, an adjoining
state to Minnesota, thus bestowing the
great honor v upon the Northwest twice
in succession. It was particularly grat
ifying that the state of New York was
the first to get the floor and move to
make the election unanimous."
Judge Palmer, of Dakota, who was
another prominent worker for Judge
Rea, said: "The election of Judge Rea
was entirely in keeping with the action
of the encampment from } the beginning
to the end, this being the crowning act
of its conservatism and non-partisan
ship. Judge Rea attended the grand
banquet given to the ,G. A. R. at -the
Lindell hotel to-night in" company, with
the Minnesota delegates. All of : them
leave to-morrow morning for home by
way of the Chicago, * Burlington &
Quincy road. The train leaves here at
9:20 a.m. and will arrive -at St. Paul
Sunday, morning.. . - - '.
THE ENCAMPMENT. ' v
Vandervoort. Squelched and - Rea *
Elected Commander-in-Chief.
Special to the Globe.
St. Louis, : Sept.- 30.—Promptly at. 9
o'clock this morning the encampment
resumed its sessions. Not a delegate was'
absent, arid the prospects" indicated a
lively meeting. No sooner had • the •
gavel fallen than Comrade Beath was
upon hisieet to denounce as an "infa
mous lie and slander" the statement. of
a morning paper that he had said "there
never was a Democratic commander-in
chief of the G. A. R., and by the eternal
God. there never would be." Reynolds,
' of New York, replied that no member
of the New York delegation was respon-;
sible for the charge,' and the matter was
dropped. .y /
i Then Tanner, of New York, rose to a
"I question of privilege. He said that yes
terday the same paper stated that he
-was putting the knife under Slocuni's
ribs. This was an absolute lie. The
same paper had published an editorial
on the pension question \ in which it
said that life had been altogether pleas
ant for Tanner since the war closed,
and that it was not too much to say that
he would not have his legs back under
any consideration. He said that noth
ing fitted such statements as that except
in plain-Anglo-Saxon—
7; "THEY : LIED.". . ' ;'''T
Comrade Anthony, of Kansas, made
an attempt to reconsider the report of
fthe committee on resolutions by > which
» proposition to raise money * for * the ■
erection of a monument 'to Gen. War
: ren was defeated, but he was cut ■, short
by the arrival of the committee on reso
lutions. . Amid intense silence the com
mittee reported unfavorably upon the
Vandervoort resolutions censuring the
president for his veto of .the! dependent
Eenaion bill on the 'ground j thatj it ; had:
een fully covered by. the action on the
report of the pension committee. A
long : debate 7 ensued.^ Vandervoort
opened by claiming that; the Grand-
Army should have the - courage \of its \
convictions, and should vote as it felt
upon this question.' Grosvenor.of Ohio,
spoke in favor of the-report,, and 6aid
he had as much feeling upon the pen
sion question as any other man,': but lie
stood as the representative-of a'lkidv of
men greater than the president of "the;
United States; greater than. the. icon-?'
gress of the United States, and •oro
dignified ;in '• their S utterances : than -
the president had shown , him
self to be. " "He said ..the ques
tion - i was -more" . important! .. than

national encampment; that the question
was what the encampment ought to do,
whether it ought to make platforms or
political - parties, -or ought to state its
position in a digified manner, as though
th.-re never had been a president of the
United States. The Grand, Army, he
said, should stand as an army upon the
pi Tin, regardless of: the .'coyotes at the
loot of it—proclaiming in majestic words
tin it" was in favor of this pension leg
islation and opposed to every attack
upon the interests: of , the soldiers. In
concluding his remarks, .7:.
' VANDEBVOOKT SAID :*..-. 7
I emphatically say that the president
should be censured for his action. . 1 have as
great an appreciation and respect for the
office of president as any man on earth, but I
believe that in his veto be | insulted the com
radsliip of the Grand Army.' '.'•*."
This evoked slight applause, but
there were long and repeated mani
festations of enthusiasm while C. 11.
Grosvenor, of.. Ohio, was making; his
speech in reply, and the applause lasted
for several seconds," when,; pointing to
Vandervoort, the speaker said in a slow
and deliberate manner: •-'"..

that the courage and bravery of the Grand
Army of the Republic" is centered in one
nian^ who alone has the courage to speak his

sion to Mrs. Logan had been unani
mously adopted, there was • ■':•■>■■:. •,.
• ADEBATE ; - : '*
of over one hour on the 'motion to adopt
the minority report favoring the ser

in by many of the leading delegates,and
in the result the motion was defeat^
by a vote of 173 to 13.1t was 3 o'clock when.
the encampment reassembled after the
adjournment for lunch,-and the election
of officers was at once declared the or

of New York, Warner of Kansas City,
Judge Kea, of Minneapolis, and ex-
Gov. Anthony, of Kansas, were placed
in nomination for the office of comman

drawal was announced before the call
ii gof the roll had begun. Judge Kea
was elected on the first ballot, which
resulted as follows:

Anthony GU|Rea 294
: Gen. Sherman- received one vote, as
did also Gen. Warner. _.
BEA WAS DECLABED ELECTED.
He was escorted to the platform by
Anthony and Grier. As soon as the
storm of applause was stilledohe said: •
Commander-in-Chief and Comrades—l es
teem it an honor equal to any that can possi
bly come to an American citizen to be elected
as*commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, embracing as it does almost the
entire number of the survivors .of the men
who crowded four centuries of progress into
four years of war. [Applause.] : 1 shall not
now undertake to make a speech, but 1 hope
to. see you all during the coming year. •, I
thank you from the bottom of my heart, and
1 appreciate the honor, which yon have con
ferred upon me. jln four mouths from this

-Washington, Sept. SO.—President
Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland began
their tour ot the West and South to-day.
Their departure from Washington this
morning was under a bright sky and:
pleasant auspices. The special train
bearing the small and select party left
the Baltimore & Potomac , depot
promply at' 10 o'clock this morning. An
hour before this a number of people as
sembled in the depot, and while await
ing the , arrival of the president and
Mrs. Cleveland were admiring the spe
cial train, a marvel of elegance, ease
and comfort. At about a quarter to 10
o'clock the president and Mrs. Cleve
land, accompanied by Mrs. Folsom, ar
rived at the Baltimore & Potomac depot
entrance. 7 Passing through the waiting
room, they at once walked down the plat
form and entered the, president's pri
vite car. Secretaries Fairchild and
Whitney were waiting on: the platform
to see the president off, and Secretajy
Bayard, Secretary Ehdicott and Public
Printer Benedict "came along a few mo-,
ments later. and all ; stepped into the
president's car. Col. Lauiont, his wife
and two children, Dr. Bryant ;. and Mr.
Bissell, and Messrs. Degraw and Bick
ford, the two press representatives who
accompany the party were all on board
the train. Then there 'were a few; mo
ments spent in hand shaking, with good
wishes for a safe and pleasant journey/
j and the friends, who came to bid the
President arid Mrs. Cleveland good-bye
left the train. The traveling party con
sisted exclusively— of •» the -President
and Mrs. Cleveland. Messrs. Bis
sell and Bryant, and Col. : Lainoiif. P.
. V. DeGraw; the representative of -.the
United Press.* F. T. * Bickford,/of the j
.Associated Press, and \ Superintendent
. Baldwin, of the .Pullman. Palace. Car
company. As the president walked up
" the io.'Jg platform," escorted. by Marshal
. Wilson, he said:. "More Cleveland,
weather, I,see.'" 7 The sun sliof-wUcr flicv
first time since Sunday, just as the Pres
idential party left for the depot,. -iVaj.
Carson, of the Philadelphia Ledger*, es
corted Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom
from the depot entrance to the- twain.
Mrs. Cleveland was dressed in an Imdia
.silk traveling dress of black and Aviate
stripes. A jaunty-looking turban farmed'
' the head dress. Promptly; at 10/"clock
: the r train started, and in a moment was
lost to view tori its way to Baltimore.
- Conductor Haverstick was in charge of
i the train, and Engineer Frank Craver
was in control of engine No. ("AG, which
I is to. convey:the presidential train as
\ far as Baltimore. As the train moved"
! : out; of' the ' depot, -Mrs. 1 Cleveland was ■
r seated alone near., the forWard end of
•'.■ the car, while the president// occupied a
seat alone - near, the middle of the car. -
Hats were raised and waved by friends
.'■ and spectators in the depot as the train
moved out, and to these salutes both the
C resident and Mrs. Cleveland responded
y bowing and smiling until out of sight.

were stripped to the waist, shouting
hurrahs for the president. At another .
station, a small. village, some ;. 300 - per-; :
sons were gathered around an old man, |
who carried a huge base drum.which he,
pounded vigorously as the train passed
by. One of the most picturesque scenes; ;
during the run in question was at New- ,
ton, where a boy stood on a mound near
the railroad, holding as high as his little
arms would reach, a banner bearing the
inscription: "Love and Marriage."
Mrs. Cleveland greatly enjoyed this: ,
scene, and spoke of it as "quite a fea
ture.'' One of the most interesting
scenes witnessed by . the lady, however,j
was a row of sun bonnets peeping above:
a high board fence on the outskirts of
Mifflin, representing, of course, as many
female spectators. The sight was truly
novel. During the run through the va

were at work, the president rode on the

Special to the Globe.
Pittsbukg, Pa., Sept. 30.—The spec
ial presidential train was twenty . min
utes late from the schedule time in ar- -
riving in this city. In spite of the vigK ;
lenceof police and railroad officials a
large number-of people thronged the
depot platform. The Randall club and
county Democracy organizations.were
also out in full force. The depot was
crowded to. suffocation and thousands
unable to get ways near the tracks
or depot, contented themselves in stand
ing on the street, shouting, themselves
hoarse. A representative committee:
from : the chamber .of commerce
coal exchange, both branches of. the,
city councils, builders, produce and oil
exchange, accompanied bySupt. Kobert
Pitcairn, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
went on a special train to East Liberty
station and boarded the president's
train at | that noint. These gentlemen
used every argument to induce Mi-.
Cleveland to stop long enough to make
an address."! The; president,. however,
politely but positively declined, and the
committee *:co«tented .themselves' by
handing him a letter of regret.: On the
arrival of the train in the depot thb
president stepped 7": to the rear

that everything was so complete that he.

daylight. They. went over her hull and
brushed HER dowx 7.
--much in the style of stablemen curry-^
ing a racer who was expected to carry &
the ■ winning colors that day. At 10
o'clock the fog lifted*;and revealed a >-'
couple of miles of clear water, and half*
'an hour later two more : miles could *: be \
seen, and the Thistle and Volunteer..
Sroceeded to the starting point. The
llectro, with the regatta committee and. 7:
a hundred of very anxious yachtsmen' -
'on board, lolled ;-. about surveying the
scene. The prospects for - a race were!
good,, but still far from - satisfactory.. •
The fog had thinned out«sufliciently to '
render sailing through it - safe .5 enough' _.
and a fifteen-mile breeze challenged the
cup contestants to test their metal.- But i
sightseers would have to keep up " close
and use their best eyesight in order to
keep track of the skimming yachts.
The wind being from the east deter
mined the course. It was twenty miles
to windward and .lay-out to sea.; At
10:42 the starting . guv was , fired and.
both yachts went over the line
'■ ' ..: AT A TERRIFIC CLIP.
: The Thistle was to windward,* but the 1
big white sloop from Boston ,was in the ;
lead. -■*. They c were carrying " mainsail/ *
fore staysail, jib and working topsails. 7
As they dashhd off into the northeast no
I one could say which was getting the bet- 1*:
ter of it. They each seemed to be vying
with the speed of-.the wind, and it was
.all that some of the steamboats could do; *
to keep the scudding yaclrts in* sight.'.
The Volunteer was leaning r. slightly .
t more than, the Scotchman, but eaWi was ."
, keeled a good deal. The wind was blow*
ing twenty miles an . hour, and it gave
signs of holding out and even of fresh- •
ening. The Volunteer " hung on to the J-..
wind like a part of it. .. She was sailing *
in its very teeth, and her - long bowspirt
Eointed perceptibly better than -that .< of 7
er rival. Just behind and still to wind- '.
ward the Thistle was • U'^^
'.-.':-:.•' CUTTING THE WATER* ' . .
like a" knife, * and so well were both
yachts sailing, and so slight the distance 7
between them '*. that the betting was %
about even, * The course of the ; racers v
was almost parallel with the -southern
coast?of Long Island, r and they made ,'*
suchVsiV.liant running that the'^ fleet of ."•
. excursion bo-ite was soon left far in the
rear. Slowly but surely the Volunteer;
drew away trim her , rival and as they *
? passed Rockawsy, the white ' sloop bad.,
a lead of at least half a mile and she
had gained it chiefly through her ability
: to point closer to the wind than tlie cut
ter. At noon the yachts - had gained a '
point off Long Beach and the Yankee
boat had increased her lead till she was ;
a good mile to the fore. At 12:30 o'clock :
both -yachts went on the starboard j
tack. standing *in toward "■ shore. The:-:
Volunteer was .unmistakably gaining
and her lead.was fully one" mile and a*
quarter at 1:30.7 AC 2:30 o'clock the two .
boats could be-seen- nearing the stake
boat off Long, Beach-vhich they were, *
turn. To all appearnnces'tb.e Volunteer .
was widening tlie gate between" i&E-a^d ;
her rival. *At 2:30 p. Vn; she V.;' -." '-. v^
- TURNED THE STIVKEBOAT.y ?*s2
in the port tack amid deafening screams';"
..from 'fifty .vessels standing off • Jones*
"Inlet.'; The.Thistle.. at-this time was
about a mile off the stakes boat and*; on %
her starboard tack." In seventeen min
utes later she % turned the* boat and was |
greeted as the Volunteer had been.
When the volunteer turned she im
mediately caught ; the /wind * and went .
flying . ahead. Unmistakably she was
Increasing her . lead. At 3 o'clock -the -
yachts were ; directly opposite ".* the—-
Long Beach hotel. They were both, car
rying ? spinnaker, ■'balloon topsail and
• club sail,' as ; well ; as main sail. • They
: were flying before . the wind with the *.
Volunteer two mile's in the lead; 'At""j
3:45 the Volunteer was rushing ■ along &
toward' home with a full:*sheet ana'•
foaming bow. -The: wind was I fresher,.''
perhaps, than it had. been at any time
during the day. Away back in the rearf
somewhere in the neighborhood of two "
miles and a half, was the Thistle. SheV
had stried for the second time to win
that cup and failed, or rather would fail -'
in the course of half an hour. The win
ner, the , Volunteer, \ rushed -'. up - -amid :-'
blasts upon-blasts from steam whistles"*"
and • : " *
CROSSED THE LINE.
at 4:23-47.. The: Elictra's gun was fired*
and belched out louder than it ever did. j
The Volunteer eased up a little, took in
her balloon gib and sailed .".on-, her tri- ■
umphant way to Bay Ridge. The steam
boats and excursionists . waited -.- and:
watched - for*^he... Scotch -boat.7
She looked asw pretty .- and brave
as she ever did, but that , was \ all. She I:
crossed the finish line 11 minutes behind:
the Volunteer. : She, too, got cheers and
toots of whistles, because she; had tried ;
and tried bravely. ; Mr. Bell and Capt. i
Barr were now convinced that Designer'
Watson would have ,to ; get 1 ideas on
yacht building;, from , somewhere" else i
than. the ;. Clyde; - f The Thistle had been '
'beaten in light winds and in strong ones
too." - To-day r : settled conclusively :* the
question' of superiority. > Tlie race had :.
-been on the wind all the time, and the
Thistle had been clearly outsailed. 7 She |
is a good boat was the popular verdict, 1
