birth, gave brother and gave fortune to
the lost cause.
Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain,
the fields of Chickamagua encircled the
city of my home, and are to me ever
lasting monuments to American valor;
that soil which now nurtures tempting
berry and luscious grape, where daffo-

and his public acts these etfete issues,

sive Democratic thought, the oracle for
patriotic Americans, the monitor for the
rising generation. In him the
young men of the Union have
discerned character distinguished
for honesty and integrity, of fearless
fidelity to public promises. and resolute
probity in the discharge of public duty .;
a living, unfiinching exponent of the
burning truths of undefiled Democracy.
His example has elevated political
tariff, his record has chastened public
service; his career has honored Amerl-

duty, his honorable career as mayor. as
