New York Tribune: James B. Steed-
man, who died untimely the other day IN
Toledo, was one of the rough diamonds
in the war. He was a red hot democrat
who always had the good will OF his po-
litical opponents; volunteer soldier, who
won the warmest regard and confidence
of the regulars; and man full of con-
troversies and antagonisms, who had
hardly an enemy in the world excepting
himself. He was a hero who in shat
tered army, in broken country where nc
one knew the way. marched his command
without orders toward the sound OF the
enemy's cannon, and SO helped save the
day at Chickamauga. Soldiers and COM
manders We'd in his praise, but his warm
est eulogy came from his lifelong oppo
nent, James A. Garfield.
