Incident Peacefully Closed.

LET us cherish the memories" con-
tinued Gen. Gordon, "and history will
record and heaven judge that both
sides were right in fighting for what
they believed was right. Let us settle
once and for all this question on a
basis of that immaculate truth that
both sides were fighting for the con-
stitution of their forefathers"
Gen. Shaw responded gracefully to
the generals exceptions. He stated
that he had prepared his speech with
care. and much OF the material there
in was gained from speeches made by
Gen. Gordon in the north. Our chill
dren should be taught" said Gen.
Shaw, "the true glory and sublimity
of our one country; their fathers will
teach them this. Let them be so alike.
the children of the north and of the
south, that no difference will be per-
ceptible." The incident closed with
three cheers for the blue and the
gray.

Atlanta, Ca, July 23.-The only rip
pie in the reunion OF veterans of the
Union and confederate armies oc-
Cured at the barbecue. General John
A. Gordon, commander in chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, took ex-
ception to some portions of the speech
made by Gen. Albert D. Shaw, COM
mander in chief Of the Grand Army of
the Republic. For a moment recon-
Citation was forgotten. and the grizzled
veterans. who more than thirty years
ago were peering at each other over
musket barrels, stiffened up, and the
old fire flashed in their eyes again until
the incident was closed. Perhaps the
speech would have passed unnoticed
had not General Gordon challenged it.
He was attending the barbecue in de-
fiance Of the orders of his physicians.
He introduced General Shaw in a char
acterictic speech, which was loudly ap-
plauded. General Shaw's speech was
for the most part conciliatory in tone
and was well received, yet his refer
ence to the manner in which all men,
cries of the great struggle should be
blotted out in the families of the south
vas not received with the favor hoped
for.
What Gordon Resented.
In his speech he uttered these
words, and they went deep into Gen.
Gordon's heart: What am anxious
to see is the disappearance OF all I'M
worthy reminders of the terrible con-
fiict, and the culture of present unity
and righteousness over all the Union.
American citizenship, one Stars and
Stripes, one bulwark of future national
glory, and one line Of patriotic teach
ings for all and by ALL
"In this view the keeping alive OF
sectional teachings as to the justice
and rights of the cause Of the south
in the hearts of the children is all out
of order, unwise, unjust and utterly
opposed to the bond by which the
great chieftain, Lee, solemnly bound
the cause of the south in his final sur
render. l deeply deplore all agencies
of this sort, because in honor and in
chivalric American manhood and
womanhood nothing of this nature
should be taught or tolerated for an
instant" At the close of Gen. Shaw's
speech Gen. Gordon came forward.
He had spoken briefly before, and his
appearance again caused considerable
surprise. The enthusiasm quieted in
stantly. Gen. Gordon said he could
not teach his children that he fought
for what was wrong. He entered bat
tie for what he believed was right,
and "only the Judgment day and God
Himself will ever decide who was
right"
