Of the JOURNAL.

Of the JOURNAL.
OLD JOHN BROWN.
The speaker said bis placein history
and literature was well established and
briefly sketched his ancestry, the task
he undertook, gave some anecdotes
Illustrating his great personal courage
and sacrifices and described how at
Hsrpers Ferry, with one son dead by
his side, another shot through, be felt
his pulse with one hand and handled
his rifle with the ether.
Following quotation from John
Browns last speech on his trial was re-
ceived with applause:
II do not feel conscious Of guilt in
taking up arms; and had it been in be-
half of the rich and powerful, the inte'-
ligent, the great (as men count great
ness or those who torn enactments to
suit themselves aud corrupt others, or
some Of their friends, that interfered,
suffered, sacrificed and fell it would
have been doing very gell." His sar-
casm forever impales the timeserver
who fawns upon the great, the success
full, "that thrift may follow fawning."
A PLEASANT INCIDENT
At this point on the program was the
Illusion to Salmon Brown, son of the
old hero, who lives in Salem. He is
enumerated in all the histories as one
of John Browns soldiers who was at
the battle Of Black Jack IN 1855, and
was with him in all the memorable
struggles to keep Kansas free state.
This historical fact was stated and Mr..
Brown arose and was introduced. He
is a very modest man and declined to
make speech aud never publically
narrates his deeds or those of his father.
While Salmon Brown served with his
father in the abolition struggle, and
enlisted with a company of volunteers
and was elected captain, he was not
strong enough to serve aud never got
his commission. 1t Is proposed to
make this son of John Brown a men,
Der of the order Of Sons Of veterans, as
his father was rea ly the first veteran
Of the war, he did not live to take part
in.

THE PROGRAM.

After the beautiful ritual of the order
the large assemblage listened to the
following response and personal recol.
lection Of the martyr President Abra-
ham Lincoln by Hon. K. b. McElroy,
state supt. of schools
II had had the great honor of cast
ing my first vote for president of these
United States for Abraham Lincoln a
soldier ia the field. 1t is hardly neces-
7ary to explain here, to these young
men and some of the veterans, that the
election then held for president was
something different from the circum-
stances that now govern this nation.
There was no faltering,no hesitation, but
we voted practically solid by platoon,
company, regiment, corps and army.
1t is no small honor to have had the
honor to vote for one of the best, the
grandest, the noblest, the gentlest, the
clearest.headed, the grandest man of
the nineteenth century. 1t is not my
purpose In these brief remarks to make
the effort to impress these young men
as was impressed when / first saw
Abraham Lincoln during the Last days
Of April, 1854. The 9th army corps, to
which my regiment belonged was
massed at Annapolis, Md, in March
and April, thence we marched across
the sands and valleys of Maryland
through Washington and thence to
the Rapidan river across and then to
Immediately engage in the great and
fiual campaign under Gen. Grant, be-
ginning with the battle of the Wilder
ness and ending with the surrender at
Passing through the capital city of
the nation, we were reviewed by Lin
coin and by General Burnside, the
of our army corps. l shall
never forget the tall figure of the presi-
dent. He lowered far above those who
were Immediately around him. His
pale face and care-worn features indel- |
libby impressed the hearts and memo
rles Of the Al 900 veterans, who on that
day marched before him In military
review. The picture of the troubled |
president weighed down with the in
tense anxiety for the results OF the
conflict Of modern times, re-
mains in my memory tonight and shall
ever remain as fresh as 1t was first i'm
pressed marching in the streets of
almost 80 years ago.
There remains with every boy, who
has closely read and stndled the history
Of his country, picture OF few figures
NJ men and statesmen, prominently set
forth and forever established In the !
minds and hearts OF our American
youth today-Gen, Washington, Thos.
Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Ben
jamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson,
Danie. Webster, Henry Clay, Abraham |
Lincoln. But Of all these, none Ill our
minds and hearts with more cherished |
and ,ra;eful esteem than the |
statesman of whom we speak tonight
