It is striking fact that Ohio should have
produced the three most successful Gener-l
ais of the great war, Sheridan, Grant and
Sherman, and that the patriotism and in
tegrity of each should equal their military
skill. 9.t djiv- i.t...-t VI. uH'r.l. 4

ed fourth to the list, had not death on the
battle field cut him off in his rising glory.
His body lies in Ohio soil in an unmarked
grave, and the chivalrous soldier by my side
will applaud us for any honor we can pay
his memory. sBV .m..e.js.J y. =. ena

GENERAL SHERIDAN: It affords us great
pleasure to greet in the Senate Chamber of
Ohio, the defenders of our country. Es-
pecially is this true on the present Occa-
sion. To find among us one who has filled
so large place In the record of the doings
and darings Of Ohio's gallant Soldiers,
thrills us with emotions to which words can |
give but feeble expression. AT every
hearthstone in our great State, your
achievements have become as familiar as
household words. No name in the long
list Of our heroes is spoken with more feel |
ing, no deeds recounted with more pride,

Sheridan. In behalf Of this branch Of the
General Assembly, allow me to bid you a
hearty welcome, ''lu i'3.
Senators of Ohio, 1 have the honor and
pleasure of introducing to you Major Cen
eral Sheridan, the hero OF many q we'll
fought battle, whose name and exploits
will live in history as long as the memory
Of one stripe or one star of the old flag
shall live. He has this morning ridden
from ''more than twenty miles away" to be
present on this occasion. You will unite
with me in the hope this ride shall result
in as pleasant memories to him and to us,
as it did In terrible memories to the rebels,
when on memorable occasion, he flew
like an arrow from Winchester town,
twenty miles away, 70 meet another kind
Of finvitation, -iEt"
Gen. Sheridan said in reply: p9iI oi. vi

reception by the Senate Of Ohio" .In49
