guaranteeing the same monuments OF
liberty that every drop of blood shed
was the price freely paid by the soldier
for his inherited beliefs and cherished
convictions: that every uniform worn by
the brave-whether its color was blue or
gray-every sheet of fame from the
ranks and rifles of both every cannon
shot that shook Chickamauga's hills and
Numbered around the heights of Gettys-
burg; every patriotic PRAYER or sigh
waited heavenward from the North or
South every throb of anguish in patriotic
woman's heart; every burning tear on
woman's cheek: every tender ministra-
ton by her loving hands at the dying
soldiers side-all were contributions for
the upbnilding of American manhood !;
for the future defense of American
freedom"

for reelection was made and carried.

place of meeting and the executive com
mittee authorized to fix upon the date,

the season.
The closing day of the reunion was
celebrated with a magnificent parade,
Ten thousand were in line, and the crowd
that poured into the city to witness the
march of the veterans of the South was
the largest of the exposition. Fully one
hundred thousand persons packed the
line of march, and the enthusiasm broke
out in thunders of applause as the men of
the gray swept by with the gallant Cor
don at their head. The sponsors of the
different States presented pretty pic
ture, and Miss Faulkner, of West Viz
ginia, was among the most admired and
represented her State in BETTING man.
ner.
| Following the parade came the eXer-
cises at the Auditorium. Each State
was represented in the jubilee by dele
gates and speaker selected for the oc-
casion. The speeches were short, but in
variety were most excellent, suited to the
occasion and were received with rounds
of applause.
