EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: am surprised
shat certain Department Commanders should take
adverse action In regard 70 q general attendance
OF the Esd National Enoampment NJ Milwaukee.
The course pursued by them regard as hasiy and
s-consIdered and csunOt fail To prove detrimental
30 The best interests Of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public
! believe all old soldiers win duly reciprocate
their kindly intentions the transportation ques-
ton but their counsel TO the comrades IN their
epeclive Departments when they failed 10 accom-
pIsh their mission Is. IN my opinion. entirely
wrong. Their action is too much like the Old
RdHge VI locking the stable door ater tie horse
T. Stolen" The matter Of transportation rates
always supposed was the FIRST thing TO be consid-
cred in the selection OF the place for holding the
EncanpmeIt; not the last as the present difficulty
would 20 indicate. Alter the city Of MiiwaIi-
kce has made such magnificent preparations for
tbe reception Of the Grand Army. u seems TO me
size hight 81 folly 10 bring into question the duty
o. the cOrAdes every where in regard TO their gen
eTal attendance. From the ample provisions made
b. the comrades sud citizens OF Milwaukee, for the
reception Of tte Grand Army. ii seems 10 me they
hive n demand upon all comrades which no action
on The paTt OF the railroad company can possibly
affect
I believe e is right and proper to censure the
railroad companies Tor such unwise and unjust dis
elimination on the part Of the q. AR The occa-
SION vi assembling together once q year Ia Ma
tioaal capzcily the oid sOldiers-the men who
saved tins Government aud made Il possible for
great corporations 10 resort TO extortion such
great oCcasiUns-is one which every honest man
any honorable corporation will say demands
the very lowest possible rates, and we brand any
man OF corporation as yiilaiDous IN his heart and
character who would discriminate against them. il
h Zoo late in the day 10 agiiate the question Of
transportation Let that be settled Commander
Warren enEgests. tseGoTe locating ID nj another
place. I hope the Department Commanders will
reconsider what has becu done and all resolve to
put oTh strong, united efiort 10 make the 22d
