Many, too, did not par- ticipate in today’s parade because their physi- cal infirmities rendered them unable to partici- pate today and then in the great parade of to- morrow. Nevertheless, between two and three thousand of the local department participated today and made an excellent appearance.

It wasalgp foundimpossible to secureaband of music for the head of the fourth brigade, and the Kit Carson Post Bugle and Drum Corps, which belongs to and headed that post, was the only music the local department secured. But the want of music interfered not ‘the least bit with the old veterans, and they marched an proudly and ae steadily as in the days of 1861-65, ; THE MARY LOGAN CADETS. ‘The most unique organization in the parade was the Mary Logan Cadets of Colambus,Ohio. under the command of Capt.

Then the Marine Band strikes up the “Red, White and Blue,” and entertains the crowd. It is soon over and District Commissioner Doug- lass is introduced. He announces a cordial welcome on the part ofthe municipality to the Grand Army. He also astente, with pride and pleasure, he says, on behalf ‘of the District, to the change of name of the White Lot’ to “Grand Army GEN, PALMER'S ADDRESS. Now comes Commander-in-Chiet Palmer of the G. A. R. to the front, A great burst of ‘ap- plause greets him. He stands at the edge of the platform and makes his address, Address of the Commander-in-Chief. Comrades: For the first time since the close of the great civil conflict you will have an op- portunity of meeting your eomrades in arms in a headquarters provided for each of the great army corps that existed during the war, It would certainly be invidious of me to singie out or attempt to mention any particular corps for its gal- Iant service. know that — human nature on the average is about alike and Ican appreciate how every soldier took special delight in speaking with pride of the service rendered by ‘the corps in which he served, and no one will object “2 shen you get together today the! al” cna all contin enon pting mail recollections of past dangers tempt you to be enthusiastic. Ihave often heard the boys say my corps won the fight in some par- ticular contest, but you must bear in mind that’ a large number of the bs. who were on the other side will mingle with you during your visit in Washington, and it’s very ikely that they will have some recol- lection “of what occurred from 1861 to 1865. Whatever differences of opinions we may have as to the gallantry of the several corps there is one point upon which we all agree, that whether it was the comrade who wore the star or the eagle, whether it was he who wore the insignia of a non- commissioned officer or the common voldier who carried his musket in the ranks, each was loyal to the common cause for which he served, and each tried to do his full duty as he saw it, The same can be said’ for each corps and ite gallant commander, each did its full share in the contest, and each whared in the glorious achievements of the Union army. The thonght that so many of our gallant lenders cannot be with us to- day fills our hearts with many sad_ reflections, ‘They would respond as cheerfully at the call of friendship as they did in 1861 to the call of duty. The vacant places they have left in our ranks are more ony itive than the geod of the living, and if they aro not with us today it is because other are reserved for them, while we are left with others to joy, the, faite of their great labors. ‘oday will meet and look into the faces ‘comrades have not seen for 1 You af fe i Pag: | filded ch | got le duration right then, but just as the im- | tions of thé English constitution and “Anglo- Saxon liberty.” Of this great army of liberty, whether they | have passed away or are still present for duty, honored tives, whole of the hus! burial place of heroes.

THE BATTERY BURSTS FORTH. Before the last word died from his lips the | cheers went up,a battery burst forth with a salute to the Union, and, as the big flag on the mast of he grand stand tilew to the wind, a scarlet fi¥me against the sky, the Marine Band C4 played the “Star ‘Spangied Banner’’—and Grand Army Place is dedicated. Henceforth it is not the White Lot, but forever and for aye—to be Grand Army Place. At the conclusion of the dedicatory service Gen. Cryus Bussey, he of Red river fame, and now assistant secretary of the interior, was i troduced and made a short address of welcoms A benediction was ence was ab “Schofield! when cries of led Gen.

CADINET OFFICERS TALK. Then “Uncle” Jerry Rurk, the Secretary of Agriculture, stepped to the front. “Boys, [am now a high private in the rear rank,” he said, “and if you want any foraging | call on me.” | ‘This speech brought the cheers, and he gave | way to last Commander Fairchilds, who made a brief address, ‘Then Secretary Noble was brought out, who | We'comed the veterans as “boys” and walked | Tight into their hearts with hix cordial greet- ing. When he referred to the pension bureau every man laughed in a gratified kind of way as if he felt a personal interest in that branch of the government. Then Gen. Grant, assistant secretary of war, appeared and was recognized with a shout by the men who had served under him. He ad- vised all the veterans to help themselves to what they wanted, and if they didn’t see it to call for it. ‘This speech caught them. ‘Attorney General Miller appeared not as a Grand Army veteran, but asa part and parcel of the government to welcome the veterans. The Ohio men kept up a continual calling for “Charley” Foster, but he did not respond. To appease the buckeyes Col. McElroy introduced ex-Speaker Keifer, their old comrade of the sixth corps, who satisfied their longings in a brief speech of welcome. THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION. Col. Ernst has sent the following letter to | Gen. Palmer: “The President has directed me | to announce that he is compelled, with great re- gret, to withdraw his invitation of the Grand Army of the Republic to a reception at the Executive Mansion on Wednesday evening next. He has furthermore directed that the house and grounds show a silent welcome to the veterana, and that the hongp be kept open for them at hours other than the usnal houra for visitors, The decorations of the mansion, its illumination at night and its open doors are intended as the ‘silent welcome’ of the President.” WORK OF THE POLICE. The police on Pennsylvania avenue were busier than they have been for a long time. Capt. Austin was in command and Lieut. | Heffner had charge of the men on foot. There were six mounted policemen and twenty-eight | on cot. Five of them were specials and the others regulars taken from the northwestern part of the city, their places being filled by a detail of specinls, ‘Their orders were to keep all pedestrians off wagons, They lessened their work ing a rope over the curbstone on both sides of the avenue and its entire length. Neverthe- jess, they found it as much as they could do to keep the obstinate crowd outside the ropes. | Patrol wagons were stationed along the avenue, and their services were called in’ use several times during the morning. BATTLEFIELD EXCURSIONS.

The presence of a crowd of people running up into the hundreds of thousands has served to dampen the ardor of the representatives of the «mailer class of cities who came to Washington in the hope of securing the next national encampment.
