w. A. Works Address.
"You will all remember the political
campaign of 1860 and the questions.
That contest that was so great that
the ballot box could not decide it, but
it took four years of war before the
questions were decided The Mis-
souri, compromise, the fugitive slave
law, the Dred-Scott decision and the
question OF squatter sovereignty were
the questions that were settled on the
battlefield and | want to say that the
boys of 81 settled the question as to
whether this union would stand or
would crumble and the question that
was settled then will never rise again.
South Is Glad.
"The United States would be moth
ing like it is today if southern seces.
sion had not been settled in such a
way. 1t was settled so humanely
that the south is glad today that the
Union won. We had proof of this
when the boys were marching on Gu.
ba, when regiments from the south
ern states were touching arms with
the boys from the north. In my judg-
ment they are as loyal as you or l.
Always Welcome.
This nation is just entering upon
it's greatness and is marching on to a
great and glorious destiny The boys
in blue made this accomplishment pos
sible and the citizens of Ottumwa
know this. That is why the boys in
blue are always welcome visitors in
this city. and as long as there are any
of the survivors of that memorable
struggle left they will always receive
warm welcome"
Major A. H. Hamilton Talks.
Il always feel that it is my duty to
respond when the old boys in blue are
together, and l love to do it. The
Seventh Iowa regiment is quite IA
miliar to me. 1t was one of the regi-
ments to form our column under Bel
mont when our regiment was formed
in 1862. Ny comrades l believe the
cause for which we fought was one
of the best for which men ever took
arms, and as l grow older | find that
| am more than ever proud that | went
into the service. My opinion is that
in all the wars in which this country
has engaged, there was never one
more righteous nor for a more just
cause.
Il think that if the country will be
preserved it will depend upon the vir
tue of the community and the patriot
ism of the people. 1t is our business
to entertain. not to talk. We will
leave the talking for the old comrades
who are assembled in reunion. | viii

to perform. There are your sons who
must be raised into good citizenship
1t was always a question in my mind
as to whether our sons If war broke
out would stand for American liberty
as did their fathers in 1861. We had
test of this upon another question.

liberty, but it was call from a sister
to protect her from oppression. We

stroyed by nation itself, a Christian
nation and We declared war, and |

The direct cause of the accident,

slippery streets, due to much sprink.

the streets which caused the runaway,

might have escaped. He saw his dan,

a large number Of great heavy, strong
fellows as we were then, should obey
a beardless youth, as Major Mahon
was but a young man when he entered
the army. We obeyed him, though,
and | would not dare to refuse to obey
him now The Seventh regiment has
received better treatment from the
people of Ottumwa than her sister
cities. In some of the cities where
We have held our reunions, we did
not receive so much attention, and If
We wanted an opera house in which
to hold our camp fire we were COM
PEELED to go out and rent it. Ottumwa
has treated us royalty during our
stay in the city. The mayor has
given us the freedom of the town. The
boys will remember many times forty
years ago when we took the liberty
of a town, and the town looked like
| it after we were through. But the
boys won't do anything like that now.
They are sobered down now and in
fact they don't look like the same
boys as they did forty years ago.
