WILLIAM PERRY STEWART.


A Hero of Two Wars Passes Peacefully
and Quietly Away at the Dayton sol.
diers' Home.
William Perry Stewart, who died Sstur-
day at the Soldiers Home, was man with
an unusual history. He was born In Ohio.
the home of General u. s. Grant. Grant
and Stewart were school boys together,
and friendship existed between them that
was never forgotten. When Grant was
elected president the first time, he ap-
pointed Stewart as gauger In Cincinnati,
position he filled with credit. until
trouble drove him to drink. When Gen.
eral Grant visited Cincinnati during his sec
of Mr.. Stewart and partoOk Of meal pre-
pared by his old school mates wife, which.
he said, he enjoyed more than all the fine
dinners that had been rendered him.
When the Mexican war broke out Mr..
Stewart was one of the first in Ohio to
muster a company to do service to his
country. He was . fine looking young man
in those days, measuring 6 feet inches in
height, and built in proportion. He was
married the day he was to start for the
battle field. This was the first battle for
him, but young Stewart fought it braveIy.
A few hours after the happy couple were
made one, the order came for his company
to start. 1t was trying moment, but
Stewart did not fOrsake his duty; he bid
his bride of few hours goodbye and start
ed at the head of his company for the
battle field where he remained
until that terrible war was
ended. He was taken prisoner once by the
Mexicans. while fighting under the black
flag (which meant death to pris0ners), but
his courage and manly bearing saved his
life.
When the rebellion broke out Stewart
was on hand to again protect his flag and
his country. He enlisted at the beginning
and stayed to the end as u private soldier.
Mr.. Stewart contracted a disease during
the Mexican war which finally terminated
In his death.
He was printer by trade and worked at
it until about year ago, when he retired
to The Soldiers Home for treatment of his
disease. His wife died about two years
ago in Cincinnati. He has two daughters
living in Springfield and Cincinnati, who
have the sincere sympathy of many friends.

the four Congressman, making the delega-

RILEY was very well satisfied with the sit
uation, and said the Democracy could be
depended upon to not only maintain its
gsouud, but make a very substantial gain.

Harrison and Morton would be elected, the
