GALLANT JACK ADAMS.
The New Commander in Chief Of
the G. A. r.
A Massachusetts, Man Who Has Eeasoa
to Re Proud of His War Record
Ono of New Elglano's Brar
es. Soldiers.

Capt. John Gregory Bishop Adams,
as his full name reads, the new COM
mander IN chief OF the Grand Army,
was born in Groveland. Mass. and viii
be ffty-two years old the 9th day OF
next October. He was educated in the
public schools. and before he was
twenty years old enlisted il Maj. Ben
Periey PORES rifle battalion, which
was subsequently, merged iato the
Nineteenth Massachusetts, volunteers.
In March, 1862, he was made orderly
sergeant.
Through all the seven days fighting
on the penirsular Sergt. Adams was
conspicuous for his bravery. and when
the misled army rested OF the James,
his gallantry had won for him a second
Eeutenants commission.
1t was at the battle of Fredericks-
burg, December IS, 1862, Lieut.. Adams
displayed the most conspicuous gall
lantry Of his military career. Nearly
dozen color bearers OF his regiment
had been shot. and at last he seized
both standards and brought them Oh
the field himself urscathed. This act
placed him in the ranks of the
recognized heroes of the war
At the battle Of Gettysburg the Four
teenth Massachusetts, was sent to sup
port Gen. Sickles in his terrible peach
orchard and wheat field fray on the I'd
of July. In this battle Lieut.. Adams
was the ranking first lieutenant in his
regiment, and took command of COM
pany I.
While leading his men he received
two desperate wounds in the groin,
either of which was supposed to be
mortal. He was borne from the field
to die, and the surgeons gave up his
case as a hopeless one.
Yet, by splendid constitution and
indomitable pluck, he rose from tho
grip of death, recovering rapidly, and
in November was again with1his COM
mand before his wounds were fully
healed.
In fact, those wounds never fully
healed. and a. late as the summer Of
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-09-26

1883 he was Frustrated almost ia
deaths door by the breaking out Of
the wounds afresh
They had several times previously
caused him serious trouble and inca
pacitated him for active and lucrative
positions.
After Gettysburg it was Capt. Adams,
and no man better earned such promo
ton. During the Wilderness campaign
of 1864 Capt. Adams was at his post
and served with high spirit and de-
voted loyalty. He waf the life" OF
the regiment and an inspiration to all
less sanguine comrades.
It was the bad fortune of the Nine
teenth Massachusetts, to be mostly cap
tured at Cold Harbor early in June,
and Capt. Adams was among the pris-
oners. For nine months he suffered in
southern prisons.
Capt. Adams was first sent to Libby
prison, and after three months there
was transferred to Andersonville, but
was kept there but brief time only.
He was sent to Macon; thence to
Charleston, where for five months he
was kept,under the Ere of Gilmore's
guns, retaliation to which the con-
federate authorities subjected largo
number of union officers.
When the Charleston officers had ex-
posed Capt. Adams to the fire Of his
own comrades in arms to their salts
faction, or the retaliation had been
sufficiently accomplished. he was sent
to Columbia, where he remained until
exchanged.
Last year he was prominent candi-
date for the republican nomination for
Lieutenant governor, and though he en-
tered the contest very late came near
securing the prize. He was the first
recruit mustered into Post 5. of Lynn,
was three times chosen its commander
and was one year department COM
mander of Massachusetts,. He has
been for many years president OF the
Association of Survivors of Rebel Pris-
ons, and is president of the trustees OF
the Soldiers Home.
Capt. Adams not only has frst-class
war record, but he is man of strict
integrity, of clear, sound judgment and
a shrewd observer, of practical expe-
rienee and marked ability. In all his
positions, military and civic, he has
won the respect of his superio-s and
the esteem of his subordinates. He
has twelve times been delegate TO the
national convention of the G.. A. z. In
1853 be was chosen By the electoral col
lere Of Massachusetts, messenger TO
carry the electoral vote of the state 20
the national capital in 1853 on the FIRST
election of Grant TO the presidency.

SOME OF the Richmond newspapers

SOME OF the Richmond newspapers
are now discussing the question wheth-
er or not the small share of federal pat
ronage Virginia has received be due to
the fact that most Of the prominent
democrats in the State were opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination? The
opposition referred to was solely on the
ground of the danger of his losing bis
own State. which danger was only
removed by the promises of Mr.. Whit
ney, which promises have not been fui,
filed. If the answer to the question
be affirmative, few reasonable men Will
deny that the democrats who opposed
the Presidents denomination had sui
ficient reason for doing so other than
his supposed inability to carry his own
State. Unprejudiced people will not
believe that Mr.. Cleveland avails HIM
self of his position to punish demo-
Gratis whose zeal for their party's sue
cess induced them to oppose his renom-
ination, but who exerted their every
effort for his reelection.

FORTRESS MONROE, Va, April "a
About half past nine o'clock this morn.
ing the Philadelphia got under way
and started up the Roads to the west
end OF the fleet. She was quickly fol-
lowed by the Newark, Atlanta, san
Francisco, Bancroft, Bennington and
Baltimore of Admiral Benham' squad
ron, and the Chicago, YORKTOWN,
Charleston, Vesuvius and Concord of
the second squadron under Admiral
Walker. Upon arriving at a point
about five miles away the white squad
ron wheeled into line and came down
past the fort and stood out to sea. In
the meantime the Dolphin, with Sec
rotary Herbert and party, got under
way and steamed up the Roads with one
fleet until they turned, and where she
remained 10 observe the movements of
the other vessels. As the white squad
ron came down the Roads they were
joined by the ships of the foreign ma
tions. While the fleet was getting UNI
der way the Roads were crowded with
pleasure yachts, excursion steamers
and tugs and sailboats Of all descrip-
ton crowded with visitors. many OF
which accompanied the fleet down to
the canes.
