Ono of the Most Successful Reunions of the
Series.

Ono of the Most Successful Reunions of the
Series.
The Reunion Of the Army of the James was
one of the most successful of the whole series
of meetings at Grand Army Place. IL was held
in Grant Tent, which was crowded to its ut
most capacity. Ths raised platform, upon
which were the speakers and others, had
stretched above it banner inscribed, j, too,
was of the Army of the James,"
On the left of the platform were many ladies,
besides a large representation Of tho Army
Nurses.
The uesting was called to order by Maj.
James II. Reeve. who introduced Senator Haw-
ley. of Connecticut. az temporary Chairman.
After a brief speech Senator Hawley desired
nominations for q permanent Chairman, and
Gen. B. B. Chamberlain was unanimously
chosen.
A medley of patriotic airs was sung by George
Arnold the audience taking up the refrains with
q vim. Gen. Il. A. Hamilton made the first
speech. He spoke of the difference between
the time of 1851 and the present time. He
said tho men came here to-day to renew the
acquaintance which was cemeuted by the hands
of war.
Gen. Cecil Clay has only one arm, the miss
ing member being left on Southern battlefield.
He prefaced his remarks with descriptive
speech, and then sang song entitled Com
rades, Touch Elbows Again" The chorus was
taken up by the audience, and just before the
conclusion Senator Hawley, Gen. Stephenson.
Maj. Reeve, and Gen. Clay stood up and touched
elbows. The scene was greatly applanded.
The roll Of the army was then called, and
the men were requested to respond when their
regiments were called This was done in order
to effect more complete organization.
Gen. HawleY spoke of the greatness of the
Grand Army the perfectness of the arrange
ments for the present Encampment, and the
immensely of the war Of the parade he said
that it cannot be duplicated; we shall never
see the like of it again. In 1913 it is calculated
that the last survivor of the war will be dead.
Every year our ranks are growing thinner and
thinner. To whom Of you all will God grant
that great privilege to be the last of that great
army to lay down their arms forever"
Gen. Cowley, of the South Atlantic Block
aiding Squadron, devoted much of his speech to
the good done by the navy, and referred to the
great work of the Kearsarge. which in one hour
and ten minutes destroyed the greatest Of COM

Pattson, Col. Stratton, Maj. Geo. E. Stowits,
Mrs Logan, Mrs. Gen. Hinsen, Gen. Raum, and

A prominent Democrat Of this city Tas
asked few days ago how he liked the pension
plank in tie Democratic National platform,
in which appears the following: This Con-
yention hereby renews expression OF spprs-
citation of the patriotiSm Of the soldiers
and sailors of the Union in the war fox
its preservation, and favors Just and liberal
ueusious for all disabled Union soldiers" etc.
He replied: 20, that's all right Il may seem
strange to you that we should express will
lingness to pay pensions to those ne shot az,
hut the following anecdots will briefly and
clearly show our position in the matter"
The incident related ran thus: By the sids
of street stand, at the Detroit National
Encampmeut, upon which were offered for
sale note paper envelopes and pencils, sat an
old veteran, or at least the remnant Of one.
He was almost sans eyes, sans teeth, sans every
thing. His left leg had been shot away just
below the knee, his right leg was about six
inches shorter, the fingers of the right hand
were off as was also the left arm, one eye was
ont and the side of his face and forehead wer5
disfeured by horrible scars. Sympathetic
passsrs-by would drop nickel in the slot
and take away pencil or something else OF
their choice. One day man of military bear
ing approached the stand, and after gazing
intentIy on the old veteran few minutes hs
threw him $40 gold piece and said: Keep
that old man. The old soldier could not re-
strain the tear that filed his remaining OPTIC
as he muttered, Thanks, many thanks conn
rade.' The would-be benefactor replied:
Don't you aeemrade" me. /, sir, was Con-
sederats soldier aad you're the first damEed
Yankee I've seen done up to suit me. Ihs

kceping away ex-President Hayes and other
distinguished men who had promised to speak.
There was a good-sized gathering of the veter-
ans, however who sat swapping yarns for two
or three hours, and declared it was the warmost
Reunion they had attended. Col. Theodore
F. Lang read letter from Hon. Whitelaw
Raid which he had received in reply to q reso-
luton eIecting the ex-war correspondent
member Of the organization of the army with
which he was associated. In the letter Com
rade Reid said:

ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
A Specially Interesting Meeting in Grant
Tent.


At $50 D. m. on Thursday, Sept. %, tbs
army organized by Grant, and commanded by
Sherman, Mcpherson, and Howard land tenn
porarily by Logan held one of the most inter-
esting and largest Reunions of the Encamp-
ment at Grant Tent. Tine only living COM
mander of the Army of the Tennessee, which
has the reputation of never having been beaten
in battle, Gen. Howard, presided at the meet
ing, and he did it in his inimitablo way.
The Army of the Tennessee was composed
of the Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and
Seventeenth Corps, and was made up entirely
of Western regiments. Grant was the first
commander of the army and the victories won
by it have no equal i'll war history.
Gen. Chas. E. Hovey welcomed the boys to
Washington after which the band which &C.
companied Frank P. Blair Post. of st. Louis,
Mo-, gave selection. Col A. C.. Matthews,
99th Ill.,, First Comptroller of the Treasury
Department, responded for the Thirteenth
Corps, and took Gen. Howard somewhat to
task for emitting to mention that corps in his
remarks This can be accounted for from the
fact that the Thirteenth Corps was not with the
army commanded by Gen. Howard, although it
was the parent corps from which all the oshsr
corps were formed.
Gen. Green B. Raum, Commissioner Of PEN
sions, responded for the Fifteenth Corps. Gen.
Eugene A. Carr recently promoted Brigadier-
denerai Oh tuS hHguidf ARMY loE sb0 5fA-
teenth Corps (Gen. G. NJ. Dodge also speaking
and Gen. Jerry Rusk, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, for the Seventeenth. Speeches were
also made by Gen. Clark, Adjutant-General Of
the Army of the Tennessee for over three years,
Secretary Noble and others.
The program was enlivened by songs and
reeitations aud whenever the name of soms
old commander was mentioned it was received
with three rousing cheers by the veterans pres

Arlington. The occasion was most enjoyable
one aud will long be remembered by the par
