Ex-Governor Cox at the Reunion.

Ex-Governor Cox, who will address
the ex-soldiers to-day, was born at
Montreal, Canada, while his father was
experimenting the roofing of the church
of Notre Dame, October 81, 1928. He re-
moved to Ohio in 1S46, graduated from
Oberlin College in 1851, married daugh-
ter of President Finney, of Oberlin, and
settled at Warren in 1852, where he be-
gan the practice of the law. When the
war broke out Governor Cox was in the
Ohio Senate. He at once abandoned all
other duties, and, after assisting
in organizing the Ohio contingent, was
appointed rigadier-General of vOlun-
teers, May Is, 1861, and assigned to a
command in the Kanawha Valley. In
September, 1862, Cox's division was as
signed to the Ninth Army Corps. and
the advance of. the right wing of the
Army of the Potomac on South Noun
tain. General Reno was killed soon af-
ter the battle opened. and the command
of the corps devolved upon General Cox.
His corps carried the enemy's position
at the famous stone bridge and pene-
trated to Sharpsburg. He was high
ly complimented by General Nc
Clellan for his services in this campaign,
and at the earnest request of Generals
Mcclellan and Burnside was promoted
to Major-General, to date from October
I, 1862. In the spring of 1858 he was
assigned to the command of the Twenty
third Army Corps in Tennessee, and
greatly distinguished himself in the
campaigns around Nashville. In Febru-
airy, ,1S65,wa at Newbern, North Carolina,
with three divisions, arranging for sup
plies for Sherman's army when it reach
ed Goldsboro. On the 10th of March he
repulsed Bragg at the head of 10000
men. Afterward General Cox superin-
tended the parole of Johnson's army at
Greensboro.
In personal appearance General Cox
is trim, compact, and elegant man. He
is fine lawyer, and is among the most
1scholarly of our public men.

Gen. NJ. D. Leggett, of Cleveland, be-
ing announced as speaker for the Re
publican meeting here on Friday night,
probably the largest and most enthusi-
astic meeting in the county this season,
was the result. Early in the evening
the people came fiocking from the cOun-
try, and at 6 80 o'clock the procession
formed on Arch street, headed by a car
riago containing J. NJ. Lewis, Presiden-
tial Elector, and our one-legged soldier,
John Bolen, carrying large square
banner, with a life-siZe portrait of Gen.
Garfield on each side. Next came the
Fairview Cornet Band, playing the Ma
tional airs, followed by long process
sion of footmen with torches, flags, and
a number of transrarencies bearing ap-
propriate notices, and striking illuStra-
tions. among which was Wade Hamp-
toms dilemma, as illustrated i'll HarperS
Weekly, with the Southern and North
ern Democrat, one saying, "If you did
" not say it we lose votes"-and the 9th
er "If you did say it we lose votes"
On Chestnut street the procession was
Joined by the Garfield Mounted Guards
commanded by Capt. J. H. Mccall, Sc
men, mounted on fine horses, each carry
ing flag and the new patent flash torch.
The Guards looked gay IN their new
and shining uniforms, and were the at
tractive feature of the procession.
At S o'clock the City Hall was packed,
many going away unable to get even
standing room. NJ C. Starbuck, Presi-
dent of the Garfield and Arthur Club,
called the meeting to order, and intro
duced Gen. Leggett, who held his audi
dience for three hours, with clear and
forcible address that was listened to,
with the closest attention, and ELECTED
much applause. He gave complete
history of the two parties, and the best
of reasons why there should be no
change, and we expect much good to ac-
crue from his clear exposition of Repub-
lican principles. Many moderate Union
loving Democrats are seriously cOnSid-
ering whether in the present crisis, they
should follow blindly leaders who clam
or for a "change" from the present pros
perity to stagnation and general destruc-
tien of the industries of the country.

"To fight,
In just cause, for ones country's glory,
Is the best Office of the best of men"


In just cause, for ones country's glory,
Is the best Office of the best of men,
Contemplating the events of to-day,
how vividly will pass through the minds
of all adult persons the stirring scenes
of 1S61-5. The secession of South Car
olina, followed rapidly by all the form
er slave States except Maryland, Ken
tucky, and Missouri-the firing upon
Fort Sumter-the Inauguration of the
immortal Lincoln the tender senten-
ces of his inaugural address and his pas
sionate pleadings with the South-his
trumpet call to armS-the responsive
beating of the drums and the tramping
of armed men throughout the great
North. All those stirring scenes will
pass through the mind like panorama
to-day as those survivors of the Grand
Army of the Union who may be with
us march through the streets, carrying
battle-flags which have tioated OH some
of the greatest fields in history The
flower of our young manhood fought un-
der those flags. Many of them fell in
the shock of battle. We honor and gle-
rify the dead comrades of the men who
are with us to-day as we greet the sur
vivors. God bless them all, and may the
Cause for which they fought he as endu-
ring as the stars.

brated the first fifty years of its exist
