"Who is Gen. Harrison The son of one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence, who
spent the greater part Of his large fortune in redeem
ing Il pledge he then gave Of his fortune, life and
sacred honor, to secure the liberties Of his coun-
try.
.'Of TIE career of Gen. Harrison I need not
speak-the history of the West, is his history.
For forty years he has been identified with its in
terests its perrils and its hopes. Universally be-
loved in the walks Of peace, and distinguished by
his ability in the councils of mis- country, he has
been vet more illustriousy distinguished in the
field.
During the late war, he was longer in active
service than any other General officer, he per-
haps, oftener in action than any one Of them, and
never sustained defeat"
JAMES MADISON, in special message to Con.
gress, Dec. 1S, 1911, said,
While 1t is deeply amented that so many vaiu-
able lives have been lost i'll the action which took

satisfaction the dauntless spirit of forttude yctO
riously displayed by every description of troops
