Upon the demand OF his grateful

made General, U. S. Army, (retired, y
and died, as was most fitting, with
the harness of his country upon him,
He bore the eommpiissint Of the
United States in ACTIVE service for
nineteen year; for seven years he was
in the presence Of ACTUAL war.
Measured by the number of engage
ments in which he participated; by
tie physical difficulties met and over
come; by the numbers engaged in
| actual battle under his leadership; by
his mastery comprehension and quick
adaptation of the changing and there
tofore untried conditions resulting
from Improvements in arms; by the
vastness Of tAe stFategia combinations
he wisely conceived and successfully
guided; and by the results achieved
for his country, for his countrymen,
for liberty and law everywhere, he
was the peerless soldier of his own
age, and without superior in any
other.
His title to high place among the
statesmen of all time was estahlIIshed
by the supreme wisdom which in the
day of final triumph, dictated those
terms of surrender which in the com.
pass of all hour we'll nigh healed the
wounds OF four Yeas of war:
| Called by the imperative voice o
his felloW-citisens IL the of,,co -
f'eSi''en' ~ .4e United States, 70
eight years he stood in their chic
place, and, surrendering then his trus
left to his successor q country whicl
in every element of present strength
and promise of future prosperity an,
glory surpassed the dream of the mos
sanguine.
Seeking in travel abroad the res
and recreation he had SO well earne'
with only the the title of American
citizen to commend him, the great il
station, in learning, and In achieve
mcnt Of every land sought to do hin
honor, whilst the humble, crowdin
his pathway, invoked for him tn
blessing which their empty hand
) could not bestow.
The chief citizen of u christian Ian
he adorned the greatness of his publ
life by the practice of those simpl
virtues which is the fulfilment of til
law,
The sanctities of home--the chi,
: pillars of our state-found in him d,
e yout observance. In other days tn
;. mothers Of the land builded affairs
i such as lie.
Consciously marching over the roa
where only his footprints linger, all
toward the goal he has now reached
y his comrades of the Grand Arm
make to his memory this their Ia
fraterDal salutation,
