FoR THE good of the country, and OF
both ex-Union and ex-Confederate
soldiers, there had better be no more
reunions OF the blue and the gray, as
they are almost necessarily provocative
of the revival OF the animosities OF the
cruel, disastrous and unnecessary war
that was made upon the South By the
black republican party. Not content
with telling his Southern audience last
Thursday that the G. A. Z. had taught
them to respect manhood and courage
the commander OF that organization
yesterday told the same people that
their children should not be taught that
the cause for which their fathers
fought, stsrved, bled and died.
and were impoverished, was ior
right and Justice. Such CAB Ut
tered by Northern men to Northern au-
diences. is not at all Objectionable to
the people of the South, but when
spoken by,such men, on Southern SOL
and to Southern people, 1t is Just the
reverse, and is patent evidence OF bad
manners and execrable taste.
