THE FLAG ISSUE RAISED.
ALBANY, n. Y, .,Oct. 20. General
Palmer, Commande-in.C Chief Of the
Grand Army, was asked whether he
lad issued an order against G. A. II.

confederate flags We're carried. He
aid: 81 have not as yet issued an
rider forbidding the posts of the
irand Army of the Republic to
march in professions with organiza-

generation that the only flag is the
tars and stripes, and that no other

When the war was ended all that
We did was to send them back to
heir homes, saying to them: IT

deserve all the care they can gei /
But we do object TO have the flag oi
