the memory of her most renowned citi-

train at o'clock, bearing khe Chicago
party of 30 and moved to Turner hall
Gen. John G. Black of Chicago, delivered
the.prinoipal address.
After reviewing the career of Grant
from his youth up to and including his
services during the civil war, Gen. Black
said In part: Beginning with Donelson
to the closing campaign in Virginia,
Grant trod the ascending round of sue
cess and glory, until at last he stood, the
embodiment of the purpose of the people
in the camp, as Lincoln was in the cabi-
net, holding the sword of the. whole Union
power, lifting it above the PROSTATE
purposes and broke fortunes of defeated
people, whose every hope was gone, and
forever. Ruin in their fields, ashes on
their hearthstones, their social systems
uprooted, their warriors dead, their sons
reduced to daily toll, drank the bitter
cup theyshad brewed, and the world won
dered what would be the fate of the fall
en-. All history contains no nobler answer
than fell from the lips of the victorious
general: $50 in peace, keep.your honor,
observe the laws Of the land, till the soil,
build up anew your broken fortunes and
be dutiful American citizens"
. The surrender at Appomattox was
made to an eagle not to vulture, to a
lion, not to prowling beast of carnage,
to an American citizen, and not to a
ulgar conquerer.
