of the statueS she has presented, either
from the standpoint of the subjects
they represent or their material sNv-
cution. The positions they occupy ,IiE-
play them to the best advantage. and
the sentiment which aetuated the pre-
sentation of Lee as one of her rep
resentatives is well borne out in pSac-
ing his statue by the side Of one Of lis
brave followers. and in close proximity
to those of two of his most gallant
and distinguished adVersaFies. General
Shields, of Illinois. and General
Kearny. of New Jersey. II is a fitting
tribute to the greatness Of the Amer
lean. people. and a splendid exemplifi-
cation Of the spirit of fraternal unity,
which now pervades our country, that
the statue of Robert 2. Lee can. be
placed in the Capitol of the reunited
nation, with the cordial approval of
both North and South.
I felt from the beginning that Viz
ginia's choice Of Lee would serve to
prove to the world that the bitterness
Of the war in which he figured has
passed away, and that his greatness
can now be appreciated By his former
foes as well as by those he led IN the
