New Posts. military COMMENCES md ,,-or,-
thing looks like the ardor and vicor incidental
10 an active campaign. Applications for char
tiers and mustcrs of new Posts are coming in
constantly at Department headquarters of one
of the grandcst organizations ever marshalled
under the Hca%ens. An association that all
history does not furnish parallel to. one that
never existed before. and one that NAV never
exist again. is the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. Our country has no titled class. no caste,
but there is an untitled nobility here
but few can wear its honors and they are
the comrades of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. Their badge of honor-the one adopted by
the OrIer-I hold it to be the sacred duty of
all comrades to wear at all times. places, and
occasions. When worn, people will then begin
TO honor and reverence it. and accord to the
wearers the bonors iustIy due 70 the veterans
of the late war.
Pardon this dirression and NOW +o the
business of this letter. which I must preface
by reference to little mast history. and show
comrades elsewhere the trials and struooles
of some of the Posts in this Department. and
how hard row some have to hoe" to get
along.
