Tho report says: "Tho commit tee feels that it is due tho members of the Grand Army of Columbus that they givo their rontons fur refusing tho emblem. Tho pcriKin whoso mind originated that emblem placed us ill a false attitude so far as receiving tho emblem is concerned. "Tho chairman of tho committee in accepting tho wreath did not outer into tho formation. The design contained the American flag, rupportod by an arm clothed in the Confedeinto gray, above an arm clothed in blue beneath. Many members of tho Grand Army of the Republic outcred their votes against tho placing tho emblem upon the mound, in language that could not be misunderstood. In regard to tho objec tionnblo features of tho emblem, tho gray arm being placed not only nbovo tho bluo, but on tho emblem nt all, was tho only objection to accepting the emlem."
