Commander-In-Chief Palmer Innue* a General Order nt Beaton. Boston special: Preparations have been completed for the annual parade of the Grand Army of the Republic at its national encampment in Washington, and its details have been announced in a general order issued by Com-mander-in-chief Palmer. The order also says: “The twenty-fifth national encampment somewhat indefinitely indorsed a scheme for the erection of a monument commemorating, the emancipation. No statistics or prospectus whatever in connection therewith have been furnished thesd- headquarters, and as < omplaints havd been made and doubts have arisen, the Commander-in-chief advises that no further subscriptions be made for this purpose until such evidence is furnished as will remove all doubt concerning the character and purpose of those in charge of this worthy object, and that all posts having given money for this purpose report the amount to these headquarters. A political campaign badge has been placed upon sale, an exact sac-simile of the Insignia of our order, except that the photograph of the candidate is inserted in the center. The Commander-in-chief not only urges every comrade not to disgrace the order by placing this thing upon his breast but that he will appeal to every man who wears orje to take it off, and not disgrace an insignia of loyalty which is dear to every Union soldier regardless of party.”
