that reunion of the q. A. r. and

Richmond on the occasion OF the dedi-
cation of the Confederate Memor

strenuously opposed and the idea final

ground that the people Of the South

desire ~ celebrate their own defeat.
Similar reasons are assigned for OPP

Round a Union veteran. As Mr.. FL
Tyson writes. the kindly sentiments of
the Union soldiers who desire the re-

To enter into its spirit. This is the
