Lloyd, keeps lumber yard. Mr.. Platt was
color bearer when the flag of the body
guard was shot to rags, and succeeded in
saving only the eagle of the center. In 1885
he exhibited this relic at a reunion of the
Sixth Virginia cavalry ut Culpepper, and
Maj Grimsely, of the Sixth Virginia, called
him to the stand with this introduction:
"Gentlemen and ladies Of Virginia, I want
to introduce to you real, live Yankee-1
mean fighting Yankee. Do you see this
little gold lacquered eagle? Well, l tried
fourteen times during the war to get it;
haven't got it yet, and don't believe could
ret it today by fighting"

Democratic, and as Democrat he was
chosen to the Indiana constitutional conven-
tion Of 1850, and circuit judge of the Third
judicial circuit from 1851 to 1854 and Judge
of the supreme court OF the state for term.
From 1856 to 1858 he was United Statea dis
trict attorney for Indiana. Soon after came
the war and he entered the service early as
colonel of the Twenty fourth Indiana voluu-
teers.
His military career was remarkably brill
liant, and his services in the field were quite
equaled by his ability as civil administrator
of districts in which he held command. His
ready application OF the principles of law to
the exigencies of tie military situation were
of immense advantage to the government.
April Is, 1862, he was appointed brigadier
general of volunteers, and in the Vicksburg
campaign of 1868 he won high honors Gen.
Grant credits him with the success at Cham
pion Hill The next year he was brevetted
major general for distinguished services In
1866 he retired from the army, and was ap-
pointed minister to Peru, which place he re-
signed in 1870. In 1886 he was elected to
congress as Republican. Ho is 67 years
old, and still in vigorous health. His oppo-
nent, Col. C.. c. Matson, is also a soldier
Of good record. and the two will undoubtedly
make this years Indiana campaign exceed
