SOLDIERS AND sALonS MASS MEET


The mass meeting under the auspices Of the Sol |
diers' and Sailors Union. held At the City Assem-
bly, Rooms on Louisiana avenue last evening, was |
large and enthusiastic. Tho hall was crowded, q
very large number Of ladies forming portion Of
the audience.
The meeting was called 10 order by Major Morse |
and Gen. John y. Farnsworth, M. O., was chosen
Presidents On taking the chair Gen. Y. returned
his thanks for the honor conferred upon him. He
had served in the war two years, and knew some
thing about the bravery Of the soldiers and sailors.
The country owed debt 10 them which could never
be discharged All over tho land were men who
were wounded and disabled and the places should
DO given to them, and they should be cared for.
General Green Clay Smith, Of Kentucky, was In
troduoed and said he did not expect 10 be called
the fret one, but General Farnsworth was up TO
his old tricks, and had put him in as the FIRST
speaker. Tho speaker considered that ifthers was
trait In the human character most to DO despised
1t was that Of ingratitude. In private case, tho
man who would receive all from his fellow.man and
then turn tho cold shoulder does not deserve to be
called man. A country that would call upon Its
citizens TO undergo all the privations Of camp life
and the terrors Of an hundred battls-aelds, whom
