Officers and Soldiers Of tie 1914 Ohio Cdvalry:
The citizens of Cleveland are unwilling TO
permit any opportunity to pass unimproVed,
of greeting our returning soldiers.
For four years past they have witnessed
at this point of departure, regiments leav-
ing in rapid succession, hurrying from their
homes the energetic and patriotic youpg
men of Ohio, and of the more Western
States, to distant fields of trial and peril.
They have followed them with their SYM
pathies-their hopes and fears throughout
their long end heavy marches-have mark
ed with thrilling emotions their heroic con-
duct on every battle field, and have with
Joy and enthusiasm welcomed their tri-
umphant return.
Your regiment wal formed in our midst,
is composed of citizens Of our own and ad-
jacent counties, and, distinguished as it is
for its patriotism in the most memorable
campaign in modern warfare, is hailed by
US on its return with more than ordinary
interest and feeling. am commissioned
by the Mayor of this city, in behalf of its
citizens, to bid you a cordial and hearty
welcome.
It was your fortune to lend q most Ell
cient, prominent and honorable part in the
ever memorable march Of Sherman's grand
army. The world regards that grand an
terprise, from the boldness of its concep-
tion and the success and completeness Of
its execution, as unrivalled in the military
of nations. Wecan never forget the
feelings of commingled apprehension and
hope which were felt when you boldly /
threw yourselves into the hen unknown ]
of Georgia: The anxious suspense
the weeks which shrouded in I'M
certainty your fate, and the raptufoIs en-
which burst forth from the nE-
ton when the head of your columns g.
merged near
The consequences of this march fully jus
tilted the hazards and hardships it incur
red. You destroyed the sinews of the re-
and, deprived of the fountains of
its support, the monster soon lay helpless
the feet of the Army of the Potomac.
But will not pause to rehearse the story
Of your achievements. They have been
greeted with the spontaneous spPlsuse of
your grateful countrymen. The names in
upon your banner are 10 US familiar
words. The battle fields of this
our army has given to history. Hence
orth they will ever be associated with the
issue of our Revolutionary stTug-
lie.
The well earned laurels belong to each in
officer and soldier who participat-
ID in the conflict. But you have also made
hem the glory of the Republic. Each he
ole achievement in this struggle for the
lation's life, has added a block TO the tenn
lie of our national greatness.
Each battle fought, in which heroism has
zen displayed, has served 10 elevate still
higher to the gaze Of the world, the proud
monument Of our nations honor.
We congratulate you on the proud record
'ou have made. We welcome you to the
Djoyment of the civil institutions you have
escued from anarchy and overthrow, and
esPeak for each one of you their richest
lessings.
What recollections of the thrilling and
ventful scenes through which you have
asssd will be garnered in your memories
What resources for reflection upon which .
lemOry will, with mingled pleasure and ;
delight 10 dwell What cOnsola- I
on for future years will be the reelection
lat in the hour of your country's great
ia, you voluntarily offered all on her altar I
that through the soldiers offerings she I
was saved. .
We tender you our thanks for your servi- '
IS and sacrifices, and would also render
II grateful homage to the memory of your t
lien comrades. Again, I bid yDu welcome. d
Col. Sanderson, in a brief reply, thanked =
3 city for the honor and hospitality ex- Il
nded to the regiment, and babe the boys t
9 his command retain all the good v
ings they had learned during the lsst y
q years, and eschew all thsevu. The !,
&c then fled into the tentS and sat v
TO asumptuOus breakfast. n
