CLEVELAND, o., Oct 21.-About 200 |
county, visited Gen. Garfield at Mentor |
to-day, going by special train, in re
Spouse to the call of Gen NJ d. Legsctt. |
Gen. Garfield said, "a reported for the |
Cleveland Herald:
Comrades-Any man who can see |
1 200 comrades at his front door ward |
has as much reason to be proud as for any
thing that can happen to him in this |
world After that has happened, he |
need not much care what else don't |
happen. To see 1 200 men from almost |
every regiment throughout the entire
state, and from regiments and brigades |
and divisions of almost every other state |
to see the consolidated field report of the |
war sixteen years after it is over, is |
great sight for any man to look on. l !
greet you with gratitude for this visit.
Its personal compliment is great, but
there is another thought in 1t
which is far better than that to
me and greater to yen. Just over yon-
der about ten miles, when | was mere
lad, heard the first political speech OF
Giddings was making, and he had come
home to appeal TO his constituents. A
southern man drew pistol on him while
he was speaking in favor of human lib
erty and marched toward him TO shoot
him down so as to stop his speech and
quench the voice of liberty. | remem-
Der but one thing that the old hero said
in the course of that speech so long ago,
and it was this: 81 knew was speak
ing for liberty, and felt that il the as
Sassin shot me down my spirit would
still go ON and triumph"
Well now, gentlemen, these twelve
hundred, and u hundred times twelve
hundred, the million of men that went
out into the field of battle TO fight for
our Union, felt Just as that speaker, that
If they should be shot down, the cause OF
liberty and the Union would still 90 on
You all felt that around you, and
above and behind you all, there was
II force and a cause and an immortal
truth that would outlive your bodies
and will survive all our brigades and all
our armies and all our battles here and
you are to-day in the same belief. We
shall all die and yet we believe that af-
| ter us the immortal truths for which we
fought will live in united nation and
United people against all factions,
against all sections, against all divisions
SO long as that there shall be CONT
| nent of rivers and mountains and lakes,
| and it was that great belief that lifted
you all up into the heroic light of great
soldiers in the war. 1t is that belief
| that you cherish to-day and carry with
you in all your pilgrimage and in all
| your re-unio1s-that great belief, and in
! that inspiring faith l meet you and greet
| you to-day, and with it will go on TO
whatever fate has in store for us. l thank
| YOU, comrades, for this demonstration of
! your faith and confidence and regards
for me. Why, gentlemen, this home of
mine will never be the same place
again. / am disposed to think that
man does not take everything away from
place when he takes his body away.
1t was said that long after the death of
the first Napoleon his soldiers believed
that on contain anniversary days he
came out and reviewed all his dead
troops, he himself being dead. That he
had a midnight review of those that
had fought and fallen under his leader
ship That doubtless was fiction of
the imagination. but shall have to be-
lieve that in all time hereafter the char
acter, and spirit, and impressions of my
comrades live on this turf, and under
these trees, and in this portal, and it will
be part of my comradeship in all days
to come.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, 1
thank you with all my heart, and ask you
for your sakes and mine to let me intro
duce to you Senator Matthews, of Gin
cinnati, brother soldier.
Senator Matthews spoke very briefly,
after which there was general hand
shaking.
