He referred to the fact that Gen.
Grant had been followed in command
of the Army of the Tennessee by Gems.
Sherman, Mcpherson, Logan and How

had been so furtunate as always to
have at it's head great soldiers and
great commanders recognized as such
the world over.
Continuing, he said:
''The Army of the Tennessee covered
more ground in its campaigns than all
the other armies combined The record
of this army is probably the most salts
factory of any that ever existed as it
was harmonious in all it's parts, and had
no jealousies each of it's units, to the
best of its ability, helping the Others"
Leaders to Have Monuments.
Gen. Dodge said that the Society of the
Army of the Tennessee is endeavoring to
perpetuate its history and memories by
erecting in Washington monuments to the
memory of its dead commanders, and in
this connection he referred, with brief
sketches of each, to Gems. Mcpherson,
Rawlins and Logan, whose monuments
already adorn public squares; to Gen.
Sheridan whose monument is nearly
completed and to be. unveiled on the white
lot next April or May, and to Gen. Grant,
to whom monument will be erected in
having appropriated $250,0O0 for the pur-
pose.
