The parties in charge of the Memo
rial day exercises at New York sighted
General Sherman and Mayor Hewitt
by not inviting them to the ceremonies
The slight was declared to be uninten-
tional, but as it gave rise to consider
able talk. General Sherman wrote a
letter on the subject which closed with
the following: "And now ask my COM
rades of the Grand Army which made
these civic ceremonials possible, as one
of themselves, not claiming any privil-
eyes by reason of exalted rank and
honors far above my deserts, if it is not
better that we should devote Decora-
ton day to the cemeteries which con-
tain our honored dead and the dedica-
ton of permanent monuments in their
honor for the teaching of patriotism to
future generations, instead of swelling
street parades and pageants for the
glorification of the belligerent non-com-
batants who make use of US for their
swn purposes"
