Minneapolis, Mtnfi., Aug. 15.—To the
rattle of drums and .the shrill *»ng of
fifes, G. A. R. veterans of ,** 1 U> '45
marched In triumph through the streets
of Minneapolis today on the oceaalon
of -the fortieth annual reunion. To
day’s parade was one of the greatest In
recent years. The number of veterans
In the city exceeds the attendance at
any encampment In many years.
Twenty thousand veterans were In
line.
Front morning until nearly midnight
last night Minneapolis' great auditor
ium echoed and re-echoed to songa,
sentiments and choen of the oceaalon
that Is to the rank and file of veter
ans In attendance the chief uf the
week'a program.
Tanner Arraigns Trusts.
Commander-ln-Chlet Tanner, In dn
eloquent, fervid address, referred with
pointed invective to violent corruption
that had nearly again rejnt the union
in twain, and aroused tumultuous en
thusiasm by hla arraignment of the
Standard Oil and other trusts.
"Scan the monopolies fulrly,” said
Corporal Tanner, “and I defy you to
find among them a veteran of the civil
war, who wore cither blue or gray. We
uullded character In the sixties and In
the name of nearly a quarter of n mil
lion of these sterling characters 1
thank Minneapolis and Minnesota for
Its welcome and Its Incomparable hoe
pllaHty.’"
