: 0O1 ttACIS IsCusAOh SO
The tremendous success Of the Sol
diels' Reunion at Indianapolis, lasi
wes k, has given iml g US TO gatherings
OF that kind. The boys in b!ne, deter
mined not to permit the glorious spirit
of that occasion to become lukewarm,
are making arrangements for reunion,
to be held in Cleveland, Tuesday Octo-
ber 8. and have caused the following
circular 10 be issued:
a99e CLEVELAND, o., September 2.
During the great National Conven-
tion of Soldiers and Sailors, held at In
dianapolis on the Goth and 2lst instant,
to ratify the nomination of Rutherford
b. Hayes and William A. Wheeler,
for President and Vice President, at a
meeting of the Ohio Delegation, repre-
sen ting all sections of the State, it was
determined TO issue an immediate call
for meeting of the Soldiers and Sal
lors' of Ohio, for a similar purpose, to
be held at Cleveland, On Tuesday, the
third day of October. The proposition
met with the most cordial and hearty
approval, and all action in relation
thereto was unanimous and enthusias-
tic.
The undersigned, appointed the
Local Committee of Arrangements,
take pleasure, in behalf of the soldiers
of Cleveland, in extending to their old
comrades everywhere, an earnest invi.
tatiOn to be present on that day and
participate in the exercises. Many Of
1. our distinguished soldiers have pledged
their presence, among whom may be
mentiond Generals Burnside, Logan
Fitzpatrick, Garfield, Hurlbut, and
Buckland, and others are expected.
We know that the great body of the
Union soldiers in the late war stand
uncornpromisingly by the Republican
candidates, being fully pursuaded thai
the interests of our common country
and the perpetuation of the fruits Ol
victories won on hundred well-foughl
fields, demand a resistance TO the en-
croachments of the "Solid South"
backed by Democrats in the North Whe
did all in their power during the wal
10 hinder and embarrass the progress
OF the great patriotic armies of our
country in putting down treason end
rebellion. The taunts and sneers of the
''bloody shirt" do not frighten or deter
us from exercising the well-earned
right to express our opinions on the
important political questions of the
day. 80"
Again we cordially invite the soldiers
of Ohio Ia meet with Us on the day
designated, to indorse the nomination
of our brave and honest comrade in
arms, Gen. r. B. Hayes, and OF that
patriotic man, w. A. Wheeler, whose
voice was always heard upon the right
side during the dark days of the Repub-
lie. The time for preparation is very
short, and we urge upon you the impor-
tance of extending the information to
your comrades at the earliest possible
moment, and that you take measures
to osecure good representation. Ar
rangefnenfs for reduced fare will be
made, as far as possible, with the vari-
Gus railroads centering in Cleveland,
and ample hospitalitits will be extend
sd by the citizens to all who honor
them with their presence.
Please address the Secretary, named
below, as soon as possible, in regard to
the number that will probably attend
from your county.
Please have this call, or the substance
oft, inserted in the next issue of the
Republican papers of you county.
