The Grand Army at Portland


PORTLAND, Me-, June 23.-The second
day of the national encampment of tie
Grand Army Of the Republic is as beauti-
full a day as could be desired for the pro-
cession. The streets through which the
parade was to pass we're crowded with
people and gay with bunting. At IL
O'Clock the signal gun for starting the
procession was fired, and the great line
moved forward without confusion.
A great deal has been heard here on all
sides in regard to the liquor question
The Associated Press is in receipt OF the
following telegram, which seems to have
been inspired by the temperance leaders:
NEWPORT, Vermont, June %, 1885.
To the Associated Press-Two thousand
comrades of the Grand Army of the Re-
public have read the dispatches regarding
the appointment of special police to care
for the lives and property of Portland.

times past we were the police Of the ma
ton, and 20 years has not diminished our
respect for law and order. We came
unarmed and on q peaceful mis-
sion as your guests. and we respectfully
ask permission to enter your city unmo-
Tested by special police or special investi-
cation committees.
(Signed): Departments of Ohio, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ore
gon, Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska and
| Michigan.
The peculiar wording Of the circular sent
out by the advocates of temperance seems
to have the effect of creating no small de-
gree OF resentment on the part of the
visitors from other States, and many OF
them claim that to issue such circulars to
a body of men so old in years in the ser
vice and in distinguished honors as that
Of the G. A. L. is scarcely less than an in
suit.
