Gentlemen of the Marquette Club:
l sincerely thank you for the cOngratu
latiOnS of the Marquette Club of Chi
cago. l well remember the evening l
spent with you last February, and l re-
member how favorably your club in-
pressed me at that time as body of act
i've, energetic young Republicans-nO
so much an organization for pleasure
and for social purposes as for
ACTIVE ADVANCEMENT
of Republican principles in your vicin-
ity and in the country as well. |
thought l recognized in you then
an efficient body for work
in the state of Illinois, one
that could, in the coming campaign,
render signal service to the party whose
principles its members maintain. re-
joice in your coming to call on me here,
and hope you will carry my sincere
thanks to your members and make
yourselves welcome at my home now
and whenever you are in indianapolis"
The committee and the general then
retired to the library, where short time
was spent in conversation upon general
topics.
In the evening, body of veteran
soldiers of the Union. not representing
any particular organization, called at
the generals residence to pay their re-
spects. In reply to the address of their
spokesman, Gen. Harrison said:
"Comrade Mitchell, and Fellow
Soldiers-I sincerely thank you for
this evidence of your respect and
comradeship. l am very certain that
there is no class whose confidence
and respect | more highly prize or more
earnestly covet than that of the soldiers,
upheld the loved banner of our country
and brought it home in honor. The
comradeship of the war will never end
until our lives end. The fires in which
our friendship was united and welded
were
TOO HOT FOR THE BOND
ever to be broken. We sympathize with
each other in the glory of the common
cause for which we fought. We went,
not as partiSanS, but as patriots, into
this strife which involved the national
life. | am sure that no army was ever
assembled in the worlds history that
was gathered from higher impulses than
the army of the Union. 1t was no sOrdid
these men to Sunder the tender aSSocia-
tionS of home and forsake their
business pursuits to look into the
| grim face of death with unblanched
| cheeks and firm, reSolute eyes. They
| were the kind of men who drew their
impulse from the high springs OF truth
and duty. The army was great in its
assembling. 1t came with an impulse
that was majestic and terrible. 1t was
as great in its muster out as In the brill
liant work which had been done in the
/ Soldier was not left at the tavern. Ev-
chair by some fireside where he was
loved and towards which his heart
went forward with quick step. And
so this great army that had rallied for
the defense and preservation of the
country was
DISBANDED WITHOUT TUMULT
or riot, or any public disturbance. 1t
had covered the country with the mantle
of its protection when it needed it, as
the SHOWS of spring cover the early veg
citation, and when the warm sun of
the snow sunk into the earth to refresh
and vivify the summers growth.
They found their homes, they carried
their Drawn and intellect into all
the pursuits of peace to stimulate
them and lift them up; they added
their great i'm pulse to that great wave
of prosperity which has swept over our
country ever since. But in nothing was
this war greater than in that we led a
race into freedom and brought those
whom we had conquered in
enjoyment of a restored citizen
ship, and shared again with them the
responsibilities and duties of a restored
government. | thank you tonight most
sincerely for this evidence of your COM
radeShip. L thank especially those
friends who differ with me in their po-
litical views that they have put these
things aside tonight and have come
here to give me
A COMRADE'S S'GREETING.
May have the privilege now, with
out OBTAINING you longer, of taking by
the hand every soldier here. Applause.
Later in the evening, the Harrison club
colored organization, called, and il
response to an address from
their leader, Gen. Harrison said
''Mr. Bagley and gentlemen oi
the Harrison club: l as
sure you that / have a sincere respect
for and very deep interest in the col
ored people of the United States. My
memory as boy goes back to the time
when slavery existed in the Southern
states. was born upon the Ohio river
+ which was the boundary between the
free state of Ohio and the slave state o.
Kentucky. Some of my earliest recol
lections relate to the stirring anC
dramatic interest which was now an(
then excited by the pursuit of
AN ESCAPED SLAVE
or the hope of offered rewards. l re
member as boy wandering through
my grandfather's orchard at Nortl
Bend, and in pressing through an alder
thicket that grew on its margin, / saw
sitting in the midst a colored man will
