Department OF West Virginia
Grand Army OF the Republic.
WHEELING, W, Va, Oct. u, 1898.

Circular No. 1
The attention OF the department com:
naiider has Diem called to q circular dated
September l6, 1898, that Is being sent
through the mails, headed "G. A. Ran
Open Letter" 0Btenglbly emauating from
Grafton, but which q really the produc-
ton Of q few individual members OF Reno
Post. That the circular - being used for
political purposes there can be no doubt,
and that It Is equally evident that the
headings were constructed with the view
to unloading the reader into the belief
that It had been issued by and under the
authority Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public. To this / give emphatic denial,
and do not hesitate to state that the per-
son or persons who would be guilty Of
this attempt TO Willy and degrade our be-
loved order would not scruple to falBlty
resentative Dayton, which is the grounds
work OF the circular. Every. true mem-
Der Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
should resent this EFFORT to drag the order
Into tho political arena and thus hasten
Its inevitable decay and death.
The circular IL the outgrowth OF q fac
d0nal post trouble that originated over
Q year ago, when certain members OF Reno
Post became incensed over the appoint-
nfent Of Dr. Van Kirk on the pension ex-
aiming board Of Grafton. A circular was
at that time distributed broadcast. de-
nouncing Comrades Thayer and Davis,
members Of the post, and also Senator
ElkinS and Representative Dayton, %
more or less responsible for said appoints
ment Condemnatory resolutions were
adopted by one faction Of the post only
to be resclnded later BY another, and ale
together there was dlsgraceful wrangle
which the department commander was
finally called upon to Btfalghten out. He
utterly refused to use the department
laundry to wash the dirty linen OF Reno
Post, and was informed that an appeal
would be taken TO the national headquaF-
tiers. This ended the matter for the time
being 80 far a. the department was con.
ceFned, but the recent denomination OF
Mr.. Dayton for Congress, 1t appears, was
too good an Opportunity TO vent the an:
tRgonlsm OF his enemies to let slip, and
the circular in question Is the result.
Now, comrades, appeal TO you to assist
me In maintaining the dignity and uphold
ing the laws Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic by rebukinE In every manner
possible this dastardly attempt TO- be-
smlrch the fair name Of our order. Turn
n. deaf ear TO appeals made n spirit
with the stigma OF being used for political
Personally the commander OF the de-
partment has but limited acquaintance
with the personnel Of the warning post
factions, and none at all with the doctor
who Is the objective point Of the contro-
VeFsy, and can therefore have no Interior
motive for his action in the premises, but
by virtue OF his Ofilce as commander ne

against what we miscau imperialism.
But at the same time, God or evolution,
history or fate. has carried our fias

We undertake the problem, we shall

and the result will be blessing no
only to this people, but to the eiviliza-
ton of the world.
