Mr. President:
The Grand Army VI the Republic Of
Washington Territory desire TO welcome
you and your distinguished party to our
city. II 10 our pleasant and most
agreeable privilege to greet You not
only a. the President Of. the United
States, but also - . oomrads, whosharsd
the dangers and the privstions Of the
battlefield with US.
We realize, Mr. President, With sin
cere pleasure the prsSence among your
party Of the General of the army, who
has gone down in song and story, and
whose march from Atlanta to the sea
will be surrendered by the boys in
blue aud their children forever. We
also notice . distinguished corps CON-
msnder in that hard fought battle Of
Stone River. The sight of him recalls
wildly that terrible struggle in which
the brave 9.reche. with Lii, Little and
Roberts and host Of others gave up
their lives that the Union might be pre-
served and citizenship respected and
enforced throughout the length and
breadth of the land. BY the proves
of the Northern soldier thu nation was
saved from disunion. But today ell
over the South the rights Of American
citizenship ~ guaranteed by the consti.
tuition exists only in hume aud not in
fact. We sincerely hope that the time
is not far distant when all hostility be-
tween the sections will end; when
there shall be NO North nor South;
when the whole country shall be selid
all one family--llying contentedly
