Grand Army Of the Republic.

Democratic newspapers are vastly az
itated over the organization Of the Grand
Army. During the war Knights Of the
Golden Circle were not only organized
into lodges all over the country but
were actually drilled and armed for the
purpose of raising in bloody instruction
to assist the rebels in overthrowing the
Government. Did the journals that now
denounce the Grand Army have anything
to say against the KEGS? Not q word!
The K. G. C. organization received no
sign of disapproval from these papers
in fact they covertly if not openly
sanctioned it. 1t was all very well, in
their opinion, for butternuts to secretly
organize and drill and arm for war against
the Government. It was all right for
copperheads to make diversion in favor
of rebels in the rear of our soldiers at
the front. 1t was very well to be ensag-

purpose the defeat and disgrace of the
National soldiers and the triumph Of
rebellion. All this was very good and

Republic and what is the object Of its
organization 1t is society made up of
those who served as Union soldiers, and
its main avowed object, as understood
by the soldiers, briefly stated, is to give
such proper assistance to needy soldiers,
soldiers widows, and soldiers orphans
as can best be rendered by organization
and united effort. ~ I'll 7o9 tr..z. Esrs E
This is the whole story about the Grand
Army of the Republic. All that is con-
5ured up and told beyond this is the
nightmare of the Democratic stomach.
To suppose that the Union soldiers as. .
body contemplate doing any thing con-
|. trary to law is to basely SANDER them.
They assumed the character OF soldiers
for the sole purpose of indicating the
laws. They are defenders of law and
order. They will be, as they have been,
terror. only to traitors. fse.
