The organization know as the Grand

to make it appear th,t it is not political
organization. The deception, however.
will not succeed, as some of its early ad-
vocates have exposed the real objects Of
the organization as it exists throughout
the north at the present time. The Chi
caso Tribune, tie leading spirit or the
Republican party in the north west, says
the original object of the organization
has been perverted from that Of benevo
lence and patriotism to ''secret political
organization" A cotemporary says sit

radical party, the object of which is to
unite all who served in the army during
the late war under the banner of that
