nine brass bands had been engaged, and r.
L. Kelly, from the committee on ordnance,
reported that he had secured ten men and
two cannons from the Emmett
Light Artillery company, of St.
Paul, and that the salutes would
be fired from the Hay market. The porytech-
mic display will be made on Bridge square
and at the point of turning the procession,
but no fireworks viii be exploded along the
line Of march.
The matter of the fragrant insult offered
the Democrats, and all citizens who are not
narrow minded in the extreme, by the Jour
nal in rousng the cry that ex-rebel soldiers
were to celebrate with eX-federal soldiers
was brought up and discussed, and the en-
phatic stamp of condemnation placed
upon it.
A committee was then appointed. which
committee drafted the following resolutions,
which command the approval aud admira-
ton of every fair minded and unprejudlced
citizen.
The communication that appeared in the
Journal is as follows:
To the Democratic Committee: VIII a
company Of Union soldiers, bearing the fol-
lowing mottos aud transparencies, be per-
mitted TO march in your procession Saturday
evening:
''Not Licked, But overpowered;' Captured
by Gen. Rosser's Brigade" Captured bv
B. F. Nelson's Division;'' Captured by P.
B. Winston's Commando Bound for An
dersonville;" Bound for Libby prison;''
''The Rebs. Got Our Coats;'i ''Bound for
Belle Isle" a UNION SOLDIER.
Viewing the above from partisan stand
| point, it appears repulsive. Viewing it as a
local comment upon private citizens, It is an
outrage upon decency. Such leaders of the
Republican party as Lincoln and Grant,
whom the Journal editor processes to hold up
as models, were men of broad ideas aud they
counselled the people TO take the late con =
federate soldiers who accepted the issues OF
| the war by the right hand aud welcome them
back to full citizenship. Among those who
did so accept the settlement OF
the war issues were Gen. Rosser
and Messrs. Nelson and Winston, all Of
whom have resided in Minneapolis for years
and have earned their present high standard
of citizenship. We feel that they need no
defense at the hands of the Democracy, but
We do feel that the uukind utterances Of the
Journal should receive, as they justly deserve,
the severest condemnation at the hands of
all good citizens.
Your committee compos ed as il is entirely
OF ex-Unlon soldiers, feels that it represents
the sentiments Of the Hennepin county
| Democracy when il brands the writer of the
Journals alleged communication and editor
ial as unworthy Of citizens of a great and
generous nation, whose impulses are for
mercy and forgiveness to q conquered or un-
conquered foe. Lincoln, Grant and
| others 1orgave on behalf Of
