EMPHATIC PROTEST
Against Dedication of the Rebel
Monument at Chicago,
Memorial Day, From Congressman
Charles A. BouteIIe Of Maine.
Southerners and Families Gathering at Chi.
cago for the Ceremony, Today.

Bangor, May a9.--Congressman Bou,
telle, who delivered the eulogy on Gen.
Grant at the anniversary celebration in
Chicago, April 81, has sent the following
telegram to Mayor Swift of that city:
Bangor, Maine. May 30, 1895.
To Mayor Swift. Chicago, Ill:
Patriotic citizens throughout the North
have hoped to the last moment that rea
sonable Difference to the public sentiment
would cause an abandonment of the pur.
pose to dedicate a rebel monument in
Chicago on Memorial day, but the lates:
reports indicate preparations for an often
siyely ostentatious display. AS fellow
citizen and friend of yourself and
of Chicago beg that you may yet exert
every possible influence and authority to
cause the projectors of this ill-judged
demonstration to desist, that our splendid
Columbian city, the emporium of the West,
in the state of Abraham Lincoln, the chief
martyr to treason, and of John A. Logan,
the warrior statesman of Illinois, and
commander int chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, who established Memorial
day, may be spared the humiliation of be-
ing the first city in the North to counts-
nance the Dissertation of the day solemnly
dedicated to the memory of the defenders
and preseryers of the nation. No loyal
citizen of the United States can grudge
Memorial day to the loyal dead.
Sincerely yours,
C. A. Boutelle.

UNION EX-PRISONERS
Object to the Lying Design Of the Chicago
Confederate Monument.

Boston, May 29.-Special indignation
against the Confederate monument at
Chicago was excited in a meeting of the
executive committee of the National As
ISOLATION of Union ex-Prisoners of War,
this week, by the design of the monu
ment. The association protests in the
following words:
The Camp Douglass Confederates re
ceived suit of clothes and boots on leav-
ing, and often some of those departing
carried an extra pair of boots slung over
his shoulder.
"When, therefore, with the knowledge
of these facts, the unarmed ragged repre-
sentative Confederate on the monument
purports to represent the prisoner in the
camp, and the scene on the tablet that OF
a dying prisoner, the Union ex-prisonel
rebels at what he knows to be a perver
sion of the truth
Resolutions were then passed condemn
ing the monument.

New York, May 90. Hon. Chauncey M.

anything of he sort" What could be more
natural than that the friend of ex-Presi-

dent) and the man who nominated him,
should give dinner in his honor, and
invite all the Republican leaders he could
reach? Only one of the gentlemen invited
sent a refusal and that was because of Ill
ness. Congressman Thomas b. Reed was
in the Maine woods and could not be
reached.
