MCKINLEY AND THE VETERANS
Committee on the Subject of His In
vitation.

Memphis. Tenn. February 13.-The
confederate reunion has adopted the
following resolutions with regard to
the invitation to President Mckinley
to be present at the reunion which will
be held in Memphis in May:
Whereas. 1t has come to the notice
of this commmittee that certain camps
of confederate veterans have condemn
ed the action of this committee in join
ing in an invitation to the president to
be present on the occasion of the re-
union to be held in May next, whic.
action we believe to have arisen from
Misunderstanding; therefore.
Resolved. That this committee
recognizes the unwritten law of the
United Confederate Veterans that
neither the officers of said organization
nor the host at the reunion has au-
thority to invite any other than con-
federate to participate in such reun-
ions.
Resolved further. That in Joining
with the business organizations and
the municipal authorities in the city in
an invitation to the president of the
United States to be the guest of the
city on the occasion of the reunion to
be held in May next. this committee
had no purpose to infringe the organic
rule Of the confederate veterans and
in order that no misunderstanding
may exist, it is now declared that the
invitation in which this committee has
joined to the president does not imply
that he has been invited to participate
in the reunion Of the confederate vet
Grams, but that he is to be invited to
be the guest Of this CITY on that occa-
sion"
