In reference to the Twenty-ninth Ma
tional Encampment at Louisville, Com
mander Bsllou says:
Ii was the first rally of the Union SOL
diers on Southern soil. Beneath the
bright folds of Old Glory, and keeping
step TO the music OF the Union, the vast
host of our glorious Grand Army ad-
vanced into this fair city, the great gate
way through which, more than 80 years
ago, the Union armies proudly marched
to measure 10 measure steel on fields OF
honor with the enemies OF the Republic.
The Union boys, with hearts pulsing
only with n common sentiment OF loyal
affection for their country ana country
men, and bearing IN their battle-scarred
hands only offerings of peace and good
will, found in bloody chasm to cross, but
in its stead a royal welcome, such only as
American citizens proffer TO uncrowned
kings.
They found this lovely city radiant with
flags and banners, emblematiic of our
glorious Union, which streamed and Hut
tered from every house top and WINDOW.
In generous bumpers OF Kentucky's
choicest brands, the soldiers alike OF the
Union and the "lost cause" pledged
themselves TO undying devotion to the
country and its flag.
Through this encampment, the Grand
/ Army of the Republic has added another
page to the history OF the immortal deeds
ofthe Union soldier. which is so far the
biPhtest and best OF all. The proud honor
has been reserved for him to bear To the
men who fought to destroy the Republic,
the glorious gospel OF peace-a gospel
which teaches that only through full
and complete reconciliation and the ear
nest efforts OF united people can the
American Union and its civilization sur
vtve, and the people adavnce to the
heights ordained for them to rise.
The departmnet commander thinks the
members OF his staff and the other com.
rades of the deartment who accompanied
him TO the National Encampment, and
also compliments them for their soldierly
appearance in the parade, which attracted
| the favorable attention as well as tho
hearty plaudits OF the thousands who
witnessed the demonstration. The depart
ment commander takes pleasure In an.
nouncing that upwards OF one hundred
and thirty comrades, together with theii
wives, visited Louisville, and 81 com
| rsdes appeared in line upon the parade.
