CRIES FOR SHERMAN.
President Harrison was followed by Vice
President Morton and Gov. Campbell who
made short speeches. There were cries for
Gen. Sherman, and when the old warrior
responded there was tumultuous cheering.
Gen. Sherman said:
Comrades, All: will not occupy but a min
ute OF your time. You see me here to-day. Your
president and our former president viii tell you
am not Gen. Sherman in California, but pio-
neer of the first order. And il you come to New
York our vice president will tell you am a
member of the chamber of commerce, but, boys,

saw after he was wounded and whose body
accompanied to this spot. and nov it delights
me to see yonder temple, be it what
it may. see no statue of Garfield from where

to his memory, pot for you and me. boys, for
our careers have run, but for your children and
those who are to come after us, There it viii
stand pointing to heaven, seen from the beauti-
ful lake by all who pass across its peaceful
bosom, and to those who come after you, by
land and sea, it points to a man who was the
finest type of manhood, of soldier and citizen
that my memory recalls. / thank you, my
friends. Carry your banners to the outer walls,
and as long as we live let us stand by those who
are true and faithful to us in the days of peril.
Messrs. Wanamaker Miller and Rusk,
who were next called for, contented them
selves with bowling to the throng, and good
naturedly declined to respond to yociferous
calls for speeches. Secretary Window told
how when Gen. Garfield was near the point
of death at Long Branch Gen. Sherman
had said to him that if it would restore him
to health he would give up the last drop of
blood in his body. This brought out more
cheering, and ex-United States Marshal Hen
ry, Guiteau's executioner, led another round
from his place among the Garfield veterans.
THE @. A. R. MEN.
The Grand Army posts were all in line
every prominent centre, and never were the
gallant veterans seen to better advantage
than on this occasion, though it is plain to
be seen that their numbers are rapidly de-
creasing, while old age and infrmity are
making their mark upon the glorious but
diminishing band,
