Comrades and Citizens:
1t is a sacred duty as we'll as beauti-
full and significant custom which calls us
together to-day. Far reaching in its in
huence, Memorial Day is destined in the
years to come to take yet stronger and
deeper hold upon every patriotic heart.
Indeed it has always been in human
nature to honor heroic deeds. In ancient
times brave knights were smiled on by
fair ladies IN whose names they fought
and whose colors they carried. Rome
had her grand reviews, her triumphal
arches, and her crowns of laurel for her
victorious legicns; England celebrates
the deeds of her conquering heroes in
poetry and song; France, Italy, and Ger
many honor their distinguished soldiers
with ribbon and baton, or with knight
hoods spurs. And SO the honOrs done the
valiant dead Of cur own volunteer armies,
the grand outpouring of nations love
to the hunblest soldier in the ranks as
we'll as the highest officer IN the field, Is
indeed beautiful to behold, And no State
in all the Union holds in more loving re-.
membrance its Grave defenders than our
own spleIuid Iowa, and no State has
greater cause to be thus generous OF her
sympathies, for no State sooner respond
ed to the great and good President Lin.

maintained the proud prestige OF the
American soldier fairly won on the hard
fought fields OF the Revolution, in the war
OF -, in Mexico, or on our frontiers in
deadly combat with the willy savage, than
did the men of Iowa. Most Of you we'll re-
member the first grand outburst OF patri-
otto enthusiasm which swept over the
State from the Mississippi to the Nilsson.

southern slope, when the first mutterings
of the dark portentous cloud, like the
coming of bird of evil omen, foreshad.
owed i'll; when the first thunderings OF
the coming tempest rent the air and
shook the earth, and startled the world
on Cardinals coast; when the first gun
was fred and the walls Of old Sumpter
crumbled, and the starry flag first was
trampled beneath rebel heel. The echoes
OF that first gun thrilled every loyal heart
in the land; everybody. was ready to
shoulder his musket and march to the
front; and So when on the 18th day OF
April, 81, the martyr president issued his
first proclamation calling for 5000
volunteers, and when two days later, our
old war governor called for Iowa's quota,
responses came thick and fast, the first
regiment was organized, the battle OF
Wilson's Creek was fought, and Iowa be-
gan to make her splendid record. But it
