ADDRESS TO THE GRAND ARMY OF THE RE
PUBLIC
Soldiers and FellO1V Citizens:
The occasion which brings you, with the mos
cordial welcome, to our city is full of stirring
memories. Among them none Is more grateful
than the recollection of the high tone Of moralit
which prevailed among You throughout those fou
years OF arduOus service in the field and whicl
made our American armies distinguished in thi
| respect above all that the world had hithert
seen. We do not doubt that the same example o
order and sobriety will signalze your present Wis
it to Portland.
1t is the misfortune, however, of all occasion
that bring together great crowds of people, tina
| so many rough and lawless characters flock thit
er at the same time. Besides what we might nat
urally expect of this sort ntimations have beel
| received from many quarters that large quantitie
OF intoxicating liquors are to be sent here, in opel
defiance of the well-known laws of our State nc
only to tempt the vicious and some of your owl
number to intoxieatlOn, but ayOwedly to brea
down those barriers against disorder which IN
people of this State have erected by their cOnst
tuition and laws, and which afte
the experience of full generation are Justly hel
by them in highest estimation. 1t is for this res
son, therefore, that we make, in this public mar
ner, our solemn appeal to you, to frown upon
such attempts from whatever source and to ioiI
as you may be able, with your example and.infiu
ence, to aid our municipal authorities In securin
obedience to the law during your stay with II,
Besides maintaining a vigorous police system /
| your encampment, we ask you to communicate [
those authorities any information YOU NAV have
or may receive of the presence or attempted sal
OF intoxicating liquors of any sort. We thank til
| commanding officers OF the Grand Army for Oh
assurances already given by them of their purpOs
to enforce the strictest order and we ask all con
radeS Of whatever rank to Join them i'm this Ell
