m Ell IN Inc state
Judge II. B. Wall, of Wichita. was
pressed into service, but he felt the honor
winch was conferred. He would fill in
the time, until the ball game was
through. He was sorry that the business
he was engaged in 1850, prevented him
from Joining the old soldiers He was
in the milking business, anu the taking
of paregoric important duty. But
he was proud of his ancestry, and of
those who had served their country, and
helped, With others, TO make this country
free.
Judge Milton in Introducing Con-
gresham Long. paid him meat COM
plimciit, for his services and for the dis
tinguiShed position he holds in the halls
of Congress nd of the country
Mr.. Long said it was not possible for
a reunion to hold two big audiences at
one time. But he had met people from
all parts of the district, and many who
had come by wagons.
He referred to Judge Peters speech in
the morning. He no doubt would be in
a. better place, if he We're III Washington
and it would not be long before Judge
Peters would be signing papers in an Of
fetal ca pacity. The President had sig
ntfed to the Kansas delegation that a
Kansas man would acceptab1y fill the
place, having all the necessary qua1ifica
tions-being an old soldier, lawyer, and
known outside of Kansas. Judge Peters
name was first suggested. MIR. Long had
made the suggestion IN the President.
Mr.. Blues name also mentioned.
The President could shut his eyes and
make "a selection that would beat the
present incumbent of the Pension office.
Mr.. Long was not son of old SOL
he al
father was TOO old and he was 100 young,
but in the language of the preceding
speaker his family had contributed its
older sons. He recollected hearing the
firing during the war, and of the re turn
ing of Il manned brother; and a young
man lie could speak of the questions
which grew out of the though he
served in no part OF it.
1t would have been better if President
Lincoln could have served during the
settlement of the war questions-it would
have been better for the South and the
old soldiers.
There one thing about the soldiers
reunion, a speaker could talk any sub
ject he chose. There has been po-
litical talk in the late reunions. but in
former reunions politics were discussed.
You are here these reunions enjoy
ing yourselves, with all the questions set
tied, growing out of the late war, and
you have nothing mar this pleasure
you are enjoying. Without political
agitation going you ought to think of
the questions that likely come up
in the future.
Mr. Long spoke for more than hour
to large and attentive audience He is
always greatly welcomed by the old SOL
diers.
After Afr. Long finished, Earl d.
Evans, of Fort Dodge, boy seven years
old, fecited poem and sang song. The
boy received hearty applause.
