Cannon's fitness is more apparent than iieed'as Keed ia a good leader on the iloor and he is a tolerably fair parliamentarian.

Cannon, en the other hand, is one of the best natured men in the house. lie is always as cool as a hen, and even when replying to a personal attack in the bitteret langnage a smile lurks about the corners of his mouth. Cannon is particularly good nnder lire, and he has frequently ahowu ability as a presiding officer nnder the most trying circumstances.

Grand Army men in New York and Brooklyn bavr heard with regret the re porta irom the west of a aohiau in the organization on political lines. Tfaa comrades of the east have been able to carry on theie work and to conduct their work la a manner so entirely removed irom politics thst they are ataloas to understand the motives which actuate those who are represented to be moving for a "jio politics ix run graxd Jtirr" has been a watchword with the Veterans in this neighborhood. To this they have adhered tenaciously and there is not a post in the department of New York in which a political agitator would not be frowned npon as a dis-tnrber of the peace. For these reasons it is believed that the movement referred to, which is said to have gained some headway in Illinois and Indiana, will uot be received with much favor here. When some Democratic officeholders in the Brooklyn posts songht to turn the last Deeoratioa day into a hurrah for Cleveland, although -the purpose was in the last degree ols-taatef al to a large majority of the members, so earef al were they lest their die approbation should leave, the appearance of political resentment that they came oot in greater force than usual and marched past the reviewlug stand with almost the same air of patriotic respect as would have been shown had its occupants possessed a record in bar raony with the prinoiplea of the Grand Meny comrades expressed themselves yesterday aa- not fearf ol of any defection of importance.

Post Commander F. J. Atkinson, of H. P. Clallin Post No.

575. and secretary of the memorial committee, said "They take a differ-ent view of things the west from what we do here in political matters. I the great Grand Army parade in Columbue at the time of -the encampment, many comrades fronv the western states eerried political emblems in the procession. We would not think of doing such things here, lney bave the effect of stirring up animosity, end ill-feeling, which ought to bo avoided? But itis the idea of western liberty, and they see nothing wrong in 16. ttow, with the campaign over and -victory settled, they ougnt to resume' their proper places ns comrades.

not believe that the movement will have any strength here. There are of course in every- organization people, who at a ready for whatever will give tneut notoriety, and they would go into i A SECESSION MOVEMEXT of any kind in order to get their names in newspapera. Such men are of no real accouut. however, and if we bare any such in. the Army here.aet them go ahead.

A society formed by them would be short-lived." Commander Wm. McEnlee of DaUl-gren Post, tue originator and still the leading spirit of the bnreau of relief, aid "1 have no idea that there are many veterans of character to be found in New York who are disloyal to the Grand Army. Some men would follow a cat. lou can't tell how man aoca people then are until the thing is tried. There have been many attempts to start opposition societies to tne Grand Army, but they did not amount to much.
