Grand Army of the Republic be invited

Seventh-That the Board of Education
be respectfully requested to invite the
school children to assemble in whatever
portion of the Capitol grounds they may
select therefor.
General Sheehan stated that in his
Judgment parade by the military would
consume too much time, if the President
was to remain here but two hours. The
people cared more to see the distin-
gulshed gentleman, and it would take
considerable time for everybody in Sac
ramento to see him in Capitol Park.

not the intention TO have a military pa
rade, but to simply invite the National
Guard to act as an escort to the President
from the depot to the park

the Grand Army Of the Republic in Sac
ramento were desirous Of doing honor to
their distinguished comrade, and wished

| w. Sheehan be requested to act as COM
mander of the escort on the occasion, and
that he be empowered to appoint as
