to meet you. Time is passing swiftly and it has
left its marks. You have served your country

overtaken you, there is one thing that you can
be proud of, that is you deserved the honor and
respect of this nation. 1t is no disgrace to be

grace to be against your country.
If mans heart has induced him
to follow the part of patriotic duty and devotion
in defense of the liberties of his country; that
man can 60 to his last resting place without sor-
row. Comrades, the government ought to be kind
to you, and l hope it will. This noble institu-
ton is a monument by the government to patri-
otism. l believe this country ought to take
care of such men. You should remember that to
all of us there are distractions. At times it is
rough and the tide rolls high as we pass down the
channel of life, but hope you men will have
smooth sailing, no matter what may
| happen. This country owes debt of gratitude
to you that it never can repay. My heart swells
with gratitude for the old soldiers, and 1 thank
you from the bottom of my heart for the manner
| in which you have received me to-day"
