Is the name of the great silent soldier
who in 6l vainly rendered his sword
to the war department and sadly wait
ed two long days in McClellan's ante
room at Cincinnati, begging AN audi
ence that was never accorded. Neither
the wisdom of the adjutant generals s
department nor that of the great or
ganizer saw anything worthy of con-
sidera ton in the appeal OF resigned
captain. despite his West Point dipo-
ma and his fine lighting record in
Mexico. Illinois gave him the start,
merit did the rest, and in spite Of
everything Grant forged to the front.
Second on the roll, lieutenant general,
was Sherman, who. with influence to
begin with, in 81 had skill to send
him on,
Then came the major generals-"Old
Brains" Halleck. Meade, the loyal head
of the Army of the Potomac; Sheri-
dan lwhose own state had no place
for him among its volunteers and who
got his start from Michigan); Thomas.

cock, the superb"-all West Pointers.
