Bpectal Dispaich to The Tribune, INpIANaroLis, Ind,, Sept, 21.~The most een- #atlopal feature of the great reunion in this city of“the Bogs in Bluc, has been the oxposure by the Rev. E. W, Flower, Eplscopal miulstur, of Detrolt, of 8am Tilden's batred for Unlon sol- diers. The Rev. Mr. Flower served duriug the War as asoldler in thie Eighth Mlchigan In- fantry. At BSpottsylvania Court-Ilouse, Vie gini, bis Jett leg was shot off by* the Rebols. In1865 he was discharged from the United States volunteer army, and the same year was appointed to o clerkship in the Internal Reve- nue service at New York, and afterwards trans- ferred to the customs service on the recom- mendatton of Senator Chandler, of Michigan, 1In 1867, Andy Johmson, having accidentally be- come Preshkicnt of the United Btates, turned over to Bam J. Tllden, then Chairman of the New York Democratic Btate Committee, the Government patronage; and that great reform- er at once removed all of Mr, Lincoln’s ap- pointees and replaced them with good sound reform Democrats. Among othors removed was Mr. Flower. That gentleman’s experl- ence with Mr. Tliden is given In the following Tetter to Mr ainuel Post, Pensfon Agent at Detroit, which was read last evening from the baleony of the Bates House by Senator Logan, of Titinofs, Mr. Flower was present during tho reading of the letter, and, when Senator Logan had concluded his remarks, verified its con- tents, Bubscquently Mr, Flower was vouched for by the Hon. 8. D. Bingham, Chairman of the Michfgan State Republican Commfttee, and Gen, Trowbridge, Collector of the Port of De- troit. The reading of tho letter created tre- mendous excitement among the veterans pres- ent, and Is the talk of the town to-day.

At 10 ofclock the entire line was in motlon, and asmid such cheers as mode the ehoes ring, proceeded through the city. Aloug the entire route the veterans were reccived with grectings such as the loyal people extended to the boysin blue during the War, "while the people lifted their hats Lo salute the old battle flags. The publie bulldings, and private residences, and business blocks on the route generally were handsomely decorated.

When a pglimpse was caught of Buruside the air rang with cheers, and Logan and Hartraaft and other of thelr old cominanders were greeted in like fashion, where everywhere was reuewed the comradoship of the camp aud feld, THR FEATURE OF THE DAY was, of course, Bob Ingersoll’s apeech, Every- body had heard of him, and everybody wanted to hear Wm.
