GENERAL GRANT
I DEFENDS ACTION
Says Be Had Right to Lead
Chicago Parade,
NO REGULATION VIOLATED
Army Officer Declares It Was Mat a
Temperance Affair, but a Demon
stration in Favor of Good Govern
ment and Law and Order—Assumes
That No Official Action on the Part
•f the War Departn** Will Be
Taken in the Matter.
Washington, Sept. 30.—"It was not
temperance parade, but a demon
stration 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
S did and I shall continue until pro
hibited to do the same thing when
ever I deem it necessary to advanco
the cause of good government."
This is the subBtance of a state
ment made by General Frederick D.
Grant in answer to a letter sent by
W. R. Michaelis of Chicago, a member
of the executive board of the United
Societies for Local Self-Government
The letter, which was addressed to
the secretary of war, criticised Gen
eral Grant for having appeared in full
uniform in a so called temperance
parade in that city last Saturday. Gen
eral Grant added that there was no
Jaw, written or unwritten, or regula
ftlon thai In any way abridged his
V i
riaht to v. :r liis uniform on any occa
sion he saw fit ami he assumed that
no official action on the part of the
war department would be taken in the
matter.
(Jeneral Grant has been in attend
ance on the Hudson-Fulton celebration
in NTew York and in returning to Chi
cago stopped over tc visit his son,
Lieutenant Ulysses 8. Grant of the
corps of engineers, now stationed in
this city.
Officials of the war department
could not recall an instance In which
the right of an officer to appear in
uniform on an unofficial occasion had
been called into question. While there
was no regulation or even unwritten
law on the subject it seemed to be the
opinion of some of the department offi
cials that an officer 3hould not wear
his uniform for an unofficial occasion
when wearing it would cause criti
cism.
