anu HRHulnR Joe HOOker, WOulu ever
abide in the hearts of the people. This
is Joyous occasion; we rejoice over the
results of the war-to the South as well
as to the North. The pride of the nation
in those days was its citizen-solders.
The character of the rank and file has
quite as much to do with the achievement
of victory as has the ability of comman-
ders. The qualities of good soldier
are: Belief in the justice of the cause for
which he fights, that spirit of liberty
which gives birth to noble manhood, and
steadfastnest of purpose. All these
qualities were found in high degree in
those who fought in the late war. And
it must in Justice be said that the
soldiers of the South were honest in their
purpose and fought valantly, though
we know now and knew then that they
were wrong. In closing, the speaker
paid an eloquent tribute to those who
went out from this State to fight and re-
called scenes witnessed here during the
war.
Gen. Henry moved a vote of thanks to
the speaker, and that copy of the ad-
dress be requested for publication. The
motion was adopted. The singing of
"My country, It's of thee by the glee
club concluded these exercises.

When the good things provided had
been discussed for about an hour and a
half, Col. Woodbury. introduced Col
George w. Hooker, the toastnaster, and
resigned the control of affairs into his
hands. Col Hooker first called upon the
college glee club for song. After that
Lieut.-Gov. Woodbury. was asked to re-
spond to the toast, "Vermont." Mr.
Woodbury. handled his subject well. He
briefly reviewed her war record and COM
pared in clear and concise terms the pu-
rity of her ballot with that of other
States. He said that the people of Ver-
| bad ..l al.
place in national affairs. Why was this {?
1t was not because of her wealth, nor be-
cause of her great population, but it was
because of the sterling worth of her peo-
pie. After some very pleasing remarks
by toastmaster Hooker, States Attorney
G. Nj. Wilds responded to 1.-The Women
of Vermont" This was happy hit and
resulted in quantities of fun. The glee
club then sang again. Col. Hooker next
proposed congressional duet led by Ex-
Gov. Stewart and Congressman Grout
GOV. Stewart began his remarks by inQur-
ing ifany one present desired aIpost office.
lie said he might speak of the tariff, civil
service and various other topics which to
him seemed appropriate for the duet. He
gave an instructive and entertaining
speech. Congressman GrOut said he had
some post offices which he wished to dis
pose OF, one at a yearly salary of So, an
other at 81 and third at Sl1. No appli-
cations were made, however, and he pro-
ceeded to tell some good stories. AnOth-
er song, and then Col. Tracy toasted the
sc. a. r." pointing out its objects in
clear and unmistakable terms. He said
that they owed their first allegiance
to their country and its laws, and then
loyalty to each other, and tried to grease
the wheels for any unfortunate brother
whose load was too heavy for him. Col.
Hooker introduced Rev. Mr.. Dayton, the
orator of the evening, as the fighting chap
lain who always carried two canteens.
Mr.. Dayton related, much to the amuse-
ment of the company, some of his exper-
fences as chaplain of Vermont regiment.
'''The sober side" of the question was
responded to by General Henry. Letters
of regret were read by Secretary Fred f.
Smith from Senators Morrill, and Ed
munds, Governor Dillingham; and others
who were unable to be present. The
glee club sang" Gloria. Gloria, Hallelu-
ah." Col. Tracy moved vote of thanks
to the glee club, which was seconded by
Congressman Grout and the question was
carried by rising vote, and the Goth re-
union came to most successful end at
80 o'clock a. m.
