ties of New York city, you are of opinion
that tue national monument which Is t.
signal!ze for all time the love and veneration
of the whole people for their greatest serv-
ant should he erected over his body in that

vided by voluntary subscription Of the pso-
pie, the Il. A K. participating as Subscrib-
ers to and chief promoters of the fund, its
splendid organization being utilized for aid
ing and pushing the contributions. On the
| other hand hold to the opinion that the g. A.
k. will desire first of all to erect its own dis
tlnctlve monument to our comrade, not a a
great cost but for that purpose raising only
such sum as composed Of the equal contri-
| buttons of each individual comrade shall
