I'm brief, the Grand Army Posts viii
only take part is body IN the inaugural
ceremonies associated with their COM
rades of the Union Army and Navy and
with the veterans of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war.
your statement that the veterans uc-
manded precedence in the parade ON the
contrary, | proposed to the cram Mar
of all the veteran organizations in the
District OF Columbia, that they be LETT
out of the parade altoge Their, and be as
signed TO duty early in the day IS an
escort Of honor to the President from the
Executive Mansion To the Capitol. This
otter was rejected by the Grand Mar. il Al
because. as he said, the cadets from " est
Point and Annapolis had been designated
for that duty, and IL would be inconVe-
nient to modify the order. ! may add
that thus suggestion was made by me
to the President and received his sane
ton. Very respectfully,

This letter was the resul. of me deiib-
erations of the veteran leaders aud Cen
eral Sickles. held IN the rooms OF Capt.
H. a. Castle in the i'OStoiii-e boiling.
The proposition made by General Greene
for guard of honor. composed of TWEEN
ty men from each local post, was under
consideration.
General Sickles stated last night that
the communication he had received would
not affect the stand taken by the vet
Grams at their meeting yesterday. lie
added:
IF the Grand Marshal thinks that all
of the veterans are too many then neither
800 nor even one will take pert in the
parade / do not believe in discrimind-
ton. We will all march or none of us
will.
Il shall not ride in the parade in
carriage. ] do not care to be the only
Grand Army man in the parade Since
none of us are to march ! shah certainly
take no part in the escort.
General Greene and Chairman Edison,
of the Inaugural Committee, dined to-
Gether yesterday afternoon, when the
question of the Grand Marshals change
of the route. of the inaugural parade
from the plan as arranged by the lnau-
Sural Committee, was discussed. Later
in the afternoon Mr.. Edison stated that
compliance with the arrangement of
the inaugural Committee would not be
pressed.
General Greene said yesterday that
he had considered it advisable to shorten
the parade. in the interest of the march
ers, on whom the additional half mile
would entail unnecessary fatigue. He
added that there were others to consider
in the organization of the parade than
the property holders in the two blocks
which have been deprived of the benefit
of the procession. The endurance of the
marchers, he believed, was of prime inn
portance.
General Greene reviewed the situation
with Mr.. Edison, and apparently the ex-
plantations were satisfactory.
