Centenary of Noted Soldier.

Washingtn, d. c.. May 3O.-on
this. the day universally observed as
a day for honoring the memory of the
soldiers who fought for the Union, II
seems appropriate to call attention
10 the fact that the day also marks
the one hundredth anniversary OF the
birth of General John A. McClern-
and. one of the distinguished leaders
Of the Federal army. While his his
toric quarrel with General Grant has
cast something of shadow over
General McClernand's fame, no his
,orian has ever ventured to question
General McClernand's patriotism as
man or his ability as a soldier
General McClernand was born In
Hardinsburg. Ky. May 30, 1912. but
spent the greater part OF his HE IN
Illinois. He was a fellow-townsman
and personal acquaintance of Lincoln
Successful in law and politics, a man
OF undoubted ability and energy, II
was natural enough that he should
receive from the President a COM
mission in the army at the beginning
OF the war. On order of the Presi-
dent General Grant placed McClern-
and in command OF corps. But Tor
some reason the strongest ill-feelinI
existed between the two soldiers and
General Grant took the first oppor-
tunity. during the operations against

charges were not sustained and Nc
Clernand was restored to active com
mand. He resigned from the army
however, before the close OF 1864.
After the war General McClernand
was elected circuit Judge OF the Sang
canon district in Illinois. and In
1876 was chairman Of the Democrat
&c national convention which nomi.
mated Samuel J. Tilden for the presi'
dency. General McClernand died al
