Hon. Alexander Ramsey was present,
as was Congressman 3. c. Stevens.
Letters regreCtlng their INABILITY to
be present were read from Senators
Davis and Nelson, Gov Clough and
Mayor Kiefer
Gov. Ramsey told Of the formation
of the Sixth and the patriotism that
inspired the old guard. 1t was a
mighty patriotism that had preserved
the men. If he was a recruiting officer
today, he would accept them all. In
the next war the boys of the Sixth
might have a chance. The present
war was petering out, not because Of
any fighting, but because Of WEAKNESS
on the part Of the Spaniards.
Comparing the sickness of the troops
in the South then with those in the
South today, Col. Crooks said that in
three months service in the South, out
Of $50 men, the Sixth had but twenty
three men who were fit for duty.
Congressman Stevens paid a glowing
tribute to the men who fought in the
War of 81, and DR.. Henry Hutchinson,
whose family contributed three mem
bers to the Sixth regiment, spoke
briefly.
Eight deaths have occurred in the
Sixth since the last reunion.
