JOHN F. REYNOLDS POST.
A List Of Its Members and Other Matters
Pertaining to the Same-last
Nights Meeting, Etc.
Where are theyf the battle RACES;
Are they In the strife or moi
Now the csnnons a tremendous,
nare thew meet the hostile foef

when the old union ship was approach
ing the sea shore and when no man
knew or could tell whether we had a
country or not; from the earliest dawn
of the rebellion through and over red
fields of carnage until Appomattox was
reached In their onward sweep and the
great but gallant armies that contend
ed sc long against us laid down their
arms, and the conflict which had
threatened to dismember and destroy
this great republic proved to be only q
baptism Of blood by which 1t was d.
vinely appointed to rise to a nobler ex-
istence-a grander destiny.
Not as as republicans nor as demo-
Gratis did they muster and march, but
as union men, for, in the language of
Jefferson, the motto then was, 1--WE are
all republicans, we are all federalists,"
and Benjamin F. Butler, the man who
voted hfty-fve times in the Charleston
convention, was among the nrst who
promptly came through from the north
with his command, marching by day and
by night to the rescue of the city of
Washington from the impending grasp
Of the hostile foe.
No, these men that fought knew no
political party, nor did they care to,
and to-day they stand where they did
then, and although mastering around
the camp fire, they do so not as politi-
clans o partisans, but as patriots who
have had and still have the good of their
country and this whole country at
heart. 1t was for patriotic purposes
that this great organization was formed
and for that alone, and, in the lam
guage of General Carr, the commander
of this department, This organization
must not be perverted to political pur-
poses nor to subserve the interests of
any party nor auy man."
The John F. Reynolds post of Chey-
enne, which held its regular meeting
last night at the Odd Fellows hall,
was organized only a little over a year
ago and yet 1t has already become one
OF the leading posts Of the department.
