HAS PERFECT RIGHT TO MARCH
GENERAL FREDERICK D. GRANT
REPLIES
TO
MAN
WHO
CRITICISED HIM.
Washington, Sept. 29.—"It was not a temperance parade, but a demonstration in favor of good government and law and order, and I should have been derelict in my duty if I had not, when requested, headed the parade as I did, and I shall continue, until prohibited, to do the same thing whenever I deem it necessary to advance the cause of good government."
This is the substance of a statement made by General Frederick D. Grant today in answer to a protest made by W. R. Michaels, of Chicago, a member of the executive board of the United Societies for Local Self Government, criticizing General Grant for having appeared in full uniform in a so-called temperance parade in that city last Saturday.
General Grant added that there was no law, written or unwritten or regulation that in any way abridged his right to wear his uniform on occasions he saw fit and he assumed that no official action on the part of the war department would be taken in the matter.
