A Model Speech.

The best speech that We have seen
reported anywhere, says the New
York Evening Mail, was made In
Cincinnati,on Decoration Day, by
quiet and unpretending, but thrifty
merchant, S. V. Reid, who was a
Major in the Confederate ranks, and
still "wears the gray" This man,
who probably never dreamed of being
an orator, rose to the high level of the
truest eloquence, when he said:
During these ten years you have
yearly plucked from the treast Of
spring the choicest flowers, with which
to deck the graves of your dead, while
we, too, have sent floweral messengers,
asft we're, to whisper to our fallen
braves that they were not forgotten.
So far, this has been right and proper;
but, sir, the time has come to drop the
words Federal and Confederate. AS I
remarked in your meeting few days
ago, these are no longer your dead.
They are ours also, but made to us by
your own generous action. That flag
We honor and respect is not your flag,
but ours; yours and mine together.
A heritage bequeathed to us by as
kIdhu lOIctdtucIS do Cfct UItdJIlcull lllt
into nation. We are not here to
discuss past issues, but to enjoy new
life. And now, sir, here, in these sac
red grounds, in the names of the fall
len braves, wherever they rest; In the
names of the widows and orphans,
wherever found; in the name and by
the hope of a common nationality, /
tender you my hand; and with it the
hand and hearts of the Confederate
soldiers of the land. Let the thistle,
that for so many years has sprang up
from the graves of our fallen dead and
pierced our hearts, be now and forever
more replaced by the violet and the
lily. And while to-day you tender and
we receive, the olive branch, let the
heart's-ease forevermore deck the
graves of our fallen heroes, and finally,
in the name of the Confederate SOL
dieIs of the entire land, 1 thank, and
through you, the officers and soldiers
of this vicinity, for the cordial well
come.you have given us, and be as
sured, sir, that hereafter the only RI
valry that shall exist between us shall
be as to who shall do the most to hon.
or our common dead by sustaining
and supporting this common flag Of
our common country" ~
