One noticeable feature of this demon
st-stion in honor of Clusters memory is
the active part displayed by ex-Confed-
crate soldiers. They fought him during
the war, and are now ready TO do homage
70 the memory of . brave man who lost
his life in the discharge of his duties IS
soldier. While the Blaines, the Mortons
and the whole pack of smaller Radical
politicians are Haunting the "bloody shirt .
and yelling about Southern outrsges and
the latent spirit of rebellion in the South,
for campaign purposes, the e1-Confeder-
ate soldiers are quietly and without pa
rade, contributing of the smslllmeans left
them from the wreck AMI ruin Of war, 70
build monumen. to the memory of a
man who fought them so calamity as to
excite their esteem and admiration. This
simple act is an eloquent and torcibie
reiuntion to the charges of dis
loyalty made by the bloody shir,
party. Nothing but misrule, ltnot On
utter destruction. of the government must
Of necessity, result from the administra-
ton of party whose hope of success
depends upon stirring up and flaming
into . fame the baser passions Of the
human heart. Reconciliation and OBJ
liberation OF war memories is what We
want in this Centennial year. ~
