your response to the sudden call made upon
you to take the field, and your firm behavior
in the presence of impending danger. 1t is

often surrounded you in the discharge of
your duties.
My special thanks are hereby rendered to
Coils. Ullrey, Hunt and Smith, and their re-
spective commands, for their promptness in
responding twice to my call when their serv-
ices were needed to suppress lawlessness and
disorder. My special thanks are also ten
dered to Capt. Alden p. Steele and his
Champion City Guards, whose splendid dis
cipline was the admiration of their fellow
soldiers.
The gentlemanly conduct of all troops
called into service is worthy of special men
ton, as it has been public attested by the
people of Columbus, Newark, Bellaire, and
wherever they were assigned to duty.
Ohio has reason to be proud of her Ma
tional Guards.
