Harsh, presi- dent of tlie association, and delivered tlie following address of welcome • Veterans: — The question has been asked by some, Whj'' these Re- unions ? Would it not be better not to probe these old sores of the war? Would it not be better for the country if the past, tliat reunions refer to, were forgotten ? My answer would be, never ! They refer to events that will ever be prominent in the history of the world. They represent epochs tliat are indelibl} engraved on the tablets of time. Wlien those events were enacted, you were making great history. Aye more, tliese annual celebrations and renewal of old times and friendships and incidents of war in handing down by tradition to the future generations tlie patriotism that fired the heart and soul of the loyal portion of the nation and pre- served its flag without the loss of a star, that declared us a nation, one and undivided, inseperable. When in the future, inspiration shall be sought to infuse a nation with wisdom to guide the ship of state; discretion to avoid pclitical evils; and courage and patriotism to defend and save its life ; there will be no volume among the many that shall contain the his- tory of the human race that will be studied witii more zeal and pleasure and greater profit than the one that shall contain the history of the birth and the causes that led to the same, and the development and growth and the favorable circumstance or hindering evils that aided or retarded the progress of the republic of the western hemisphere. There 't will be re- corded how a loyal, devoted people, who had endured every hardship and suffered every wrong, finally threw off the yoke of tyranny and oppres- sion and declared that all men were created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, which were life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. How valiantly they struggled for and ultimately won victory, and organized a republic. There, with their wisdom, just- ness and success, will be the story how that in the formation and crystiliza- tion of the republic, unconsciously in its bosom was a reptile nursed ; how that human slavery had insinuated itself in the very web and woof of the 6 NINTH ANNUAL REUNION OF TH£ body politic ; how it charmed the young Hfe ; how it poisoned the fountains of statesmanship and aspiration ; how it inspired every enter- prise, arrested every development and checked the intellectual growth of the country, except thai section which would best foster its interests and protect its life ; how it taught the suicidal doctrine of state sovereigity ; how its influence and avarice compelled the nation to plunge into war with a friendly people to acquire more territory to dedicate and devote to its use, human bondage and human traffic. There it will be recorded that as the nation grew, the lethargy produced by its poison began to be relatively lessened, and none discerned ihis more quickly than the cunning, jealous eye of the monster that had caused it. How the nation, when sufficiently aroused to its dangerous position, elected a man from, of and by the peo- ple as chief executive, the greatest, best and purest of men — Abraham Lincoln. How he was compelled to seek the national capitol as a thief in the night to avoid the treacherous vigilance of the misjudged minds of that evil influence. How that in its interests the treasury of the nation had been emptied by foul means, its navy scattered to distant seas, its army dwarfed, and that for years its influence had been so potent in the development of millitary minds that the majority (and it was conceded the best) military men were its tools and champions, and who souglit to destroy that country which had developed them. How its satelites re- mained in the halls of legislation until they with their coadjutors had determined the very day and hour when that flag which had protected them and theirs upon the high seas, and had secured them respect and honor abroad, should be insulted, fired upon, and trampled in the dust. It will be recorded how the lovers of liberty and freedom throughout the ivorld were dazed and amazed, how that the enemies of the republic pre- dicted its disentegration, how the pallid lips of its anxious sons and daughters inquired "shall the fair temple on these western shores erected to liberty and dedicated to humanity, crumble ? Are its loundalions of sand ? Has the synonym, the land of the free and home of the brave, been a myth and a delusion ? Has our patriotism and our God forsaken us?" The patriots and lovers of freedom will be ever inspired by the account of the prompt and enthusiastic response in solid phtilanx as the gallant sons gathered from hill and plain, with the joyous song, we are coming six hundred thousand strong and the glad refrain, we are coming three hundred thousand more. How, that phoenix, like the largest, finest and best equipped army sprang into exist ence with the solemn pledge, that the stain of treason should be wiped from the nation's escutcheon, that there should be but one flag and but one IOWA AND MISSOURI VETERANS. 7 country. The effort put forth; treasury expended; the heroism displayed; the suffering endured; the blood shed; lives lost, whether upon the weary, fatiguing march in an unaccustomed southern climate; the bloody field of battle; the protracted siege; the gallant, brilliant charge, or languishing in the hospital or undergoing the heartrending, soul-sickening, hellish ex- periences and attrocities of a Libby or an Andersonville ; together with those deeds of noble daring and heroism of the navy, attest to the faithful fulfilment of that pledge. 'Twill be thus recorded that they proved them- selves "worthy sons of valorous sires," and how they proved to the world that the fair temple of freedom was deeply and securely lain upon the solid rock of truth and justice, that with foes within and foes without, it withstood the storms of political strife and the temptest of civil conflict as unmoved as '"Atlas while storm and tempest thunder at its brow and ocean breaks its billows at its feet." They replaced the ensign, cleansed and purified from treason, and ensigned across its folds "The Asylum of Freedom," the scintillations of whose brilliant characters will light up the trackless waste to all who seek its refuge. Over its portals they placed the inscription, all who would exercise devotion at its shrine must sub- scribe before entering to the sentiments written by the blood of patriots and petrified by fire from the altar of divinity upon the pillars on either side that guard its entrance, loyalty, unity, liberty and equality. Temples of fame have been erected too, and a halo of glory thrown around the memories of Hannibal, Caesar, Charlemagne and Napoleon, who sought the benefactions of power to gratify personal ambition even if at the ex- pense of humanity. History will record that fame has arranged a con- stellation in the galaxy of renown, consisting of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and their faithful lieutenants, which was unsought except as the finger of duty pointed in a service to God, their country and humanity. The ravages of time nor its corroding influence can neither destroy nor mar their incomparable splendor or imperishable brilliancy. Veterans, we recognize in you twenty-five years after the events in the great drama- from 1861 to 1865, as a few of the survivors who took part in them. The empty sleeve, the crutch, halting gate, the "darkened windows," the in- difference for notes of pleasure or "war's alarm," the pinched, worn look, the indication of being prematurely in the "sear and yellow leaf," tells of the participation in those terrible days and gallant deeds in which you were engaged and went through in language more potent than tongue or pen can describe. We, the citizens of Creston, appreciate the glories won, the benefits conferred by you upon this nation, the unprecedented progress and development which has followed as the legitimate fruit of 8 NINTH ANNUAL REUNION OF THE the same, and in behalf of the citizens of this, our young city, sprung up since those bellicose days, 1 congratulate you that it has been your happy privilege to see the struggle ended, victory perched upon your banners, the preserva- . tion of our flag with the eradication of the foul stain from its fair folds, the. unity of the republic, the unprecedented development of the country in the arts and sciences, literature and the liberal encouragement to the education of the young and rising generation, and also the fact that those who then opposed you. in arms and sympathy, whether north or south with us and you rejoice. Since the quality and potency oi the benefits conferred by a republic upon its people, the honor and distinction won and held, we hope that there with Him we may in spirit dwell among the sister nations, the character of the influence exerted upon them and mankmd, the glory and renown that may reverberate down the isles of time and the solidity and perpetuity that has characterized the past, does now and ever will be depended upon by the intelligence, integrity, honor, love of freedom, patriotism and valor of its citizens and citizen soldiery. Who siiall dare question you the right or refuse to aid you in celebrating vic- tories and impressing the spirit of loyal devotion to country —that fervid devotion that has so characterized you ; that the future may be inspired by the deeds of the past. In behalf of the citizens of Creston also, I bid you a most hearty welcome to "Camp Sheridan," arranged for your coming and enjoyment. May you around these camp fires in retrospective wit'"* reminiscence, story and song live over your hardships, pleasures and vic- tories. May you have a joyous, happy time. May the memories of Camp Sheridan be a joy in the future. If there be anything left undone, charge it not to a lack of desire to supply or to do it. Again 1 say be happy; a few more rolling suns, and camp fires will be no more forever. We shall have joined the vast majority and where our grand heroic commander has preceded us. No less grand and heroic is his last grand although unsuc- cessful struggle. Let us hope that with him and them in spirit we may witness the continued welfare, happiness and prosperity of our republic - that prosperity throughout the ages may prove as devoted to its heritage as we have been to ovir own. ADDRESS BY COL. W. P. HEPBURN. Col. W. P. Hepburn was next introduced, and as he arose to respond to the address of welcome, was received with a perfect storm of applause- The colonel's remarks were as follows : 3Ir. President, ladies and comrades of Creston :— It is certainly pleasable to me that I should have been deputed as one of those represent- 10 \VA AND IMISSO ( 'RI \ ^E TERANS. 9 iiig tliis vast collection and concourse, as the one to return to you our thanks forthe hospitable, aye, more tiian hospitable manner in whic'a we liave been received and welcomed. We thank you from the very bottom of grateful hearts, and while we thank you individually as men, we do not fail to remember that in the hospitality you have shown us, and in the exertion you have made to make our coming hither pleasant, you have simply regarded us as tlie representatives of a large and vast concourse of men, and that vou, in expressing your kindness to us, liave been simj)!y emphasizing an epoch in our Country's history . We (\o not take it that ail these courtesies are extended to us as individuals, but we do take it tliat all of these expressions coming to us as the representatives of the men who atone time, when there was necessity for men, tc^ok upon themselves the res[)onsibiiities and burdens as patriots sliould. [Applause.] We are glad to know that the fires of patriotism tliat were kindled a quarter of a century ago are burning as brightly in the bosoms of you men and citizens today as they were when the bugle sounded, that called two and three quarter millions of peacable citizens to arms. We are glad to know that you can honor the gray and grizzled old men of a quarter of a century ago, just as in earlier times, the generations before reverenced the patriots of 1775. Reverenced the heroes ot 1812; reverenced the Mexican veterans who marched from the ocean to the Mexican capitol and gave us a domain equal to many of the European states. We are glad to know that these failing types of that old army have a warm place not only in your recol- lections, but even in the esteem of the children that are growing up. There is the hopeful sign. It is not enough that the men of today should be patriots ; they have but a little while at best (and it will be but a little while), and they will pass away, leaving the republic the magnificent civili- zation of today, going onward and upward, a beacon light to all the nations, and we must teach, and do teach, the little ones of today the same lessons of patriotism that you have learned, and the same reverence iot the heroic service that you have sliown us today wel's up iu your bosoms. I have sometimes thought that possibly there were those who never rightly appreciated the burdens, and the labors, and the heroic services that my comrades perfoimed ; that my comrades endured. There has been noth- ing like it in all the history of the world, search v/here you will, scan out the pages you may, and nowhere in all the stories of the past is there to be found aught that approaches the splendid performance, the magnificent achievements of the loyal men and the friends at home from 1861 to 1865. Think of it for a moment will you ? With a mere skeleton of an army, only one meagre institution of learning where the military art was trans- lo NINTH ANNUAL REUNION OF THE ferred to the youth, and yet when the flag was imperiled more than two million ol this peace loving and peace reverencing manhood sprang to arms. Where is there in all history the like of that ? Two million, seven hundred and thirteen thousand names are upon the rolls of the federal army ; counting out the double and triple enlistment, probably the names of two millions of individuals are to be found upon the muster rolls. Counting out those who have been detailed upon detached service, leaving out those who were left along the line of transportation and those that per- formed the various duties at inome, there was more than a million and a half of men that actually met and endured the shock of battle. And of that million and a half what sad ravages war made on their ranks ! Did you ever think of the vast army of comrades who went to the front and never returned ? The records of the war department teach a .sad lesson. Of that million and a half, sixty-seven thousand were shot to death on the fields, where thev demonstrated their heroism and prowess. Forty-three thousand of them died of the wounds that they received in battle, in the hospitals of the army. Twenty-five thousand of them — I am simply giving you the round numbers in each instance in excess of the round numbers — twenty-five thousand of them died from accidents. Twenty-nine thous- and of them are known to have died in the loathsome prison pens of the south, and those who are best capacitated to estimate their number, swell this ghastly army of sacrifices in southern prisons to sixty thousand patriots and sufferers. Two hundred and twenty-five thousand died while their names were still upon the muster rolls of the army ; making an aggregate of more than four hundred thousand men, twenty-five out of every hundred men who enlisted and went to the front, and who died while they were still in the army and their names still upon the muster rolls. That is say- ing nothing of that vast concourse of men who from disease and wounds have died after their discharge. Gentlemen, think of the army of four hundred thousand men ! Why, compact them as infantry, and march them by phalanx, and they would make a solid marching column that would occupy eighty miles of our roadway. Then give them their trains of amunition, their pontoon trains, their regiments and brigades, their division and their corps tents, and their supply wagons for thirty days, and this grand column of men will reach from the city of Davenport clear across theprairiesof the state and the head of the column will be in the city of Council Bluffs when the rear guard leaves the Mississippi river. No man, no nation in modern times has been able to assemble together an army so vast in its proportions as the army of the dead that we left behind us in Dixie when we came home. Gentlemen, did these men die for a mere IOWA AND MISSOURI VETERANS. ii abstraction ? Did these men die simply for partisan causes ? Ah, no ! They died that there might be unity of the states. Tiiat there might be liberty in behalf of Union and progress ; it was for that they died. Gen- eral Rosecrans, the register ot the treasury of the United States, recently made the report in which he aggregates all of the expenses made in behalf of the preservation of the Union, footing it up to the grand aggregate of six and three quarter millions of dollars. Looking still further as a mater- ial question— merely as a question of dollars and cents — think how much greater than even that the expense has been. The average age of this two million seven hundred thousand men at the time of their enlistment was twenty-six years. At the age of twenty-six years scientific inquiry tells us that the expectancy of life is thirty-five years. Multiply the four hundred thousand dead by the expectancy of life, and you have the grand aggre- gate of twelve millions of years lost to the country. These men would have been producers. These men would have been creators of wealth. These men would have added to the power, and the grandeur and per- manancy of the republic. These twelve million of years multiplied by the actual earnings of a man of that age, four hundred dollars each year, gives us a wonderful aggregate and tells us of the infinite cost of the rebellion, counting it in dollars and cents. More than that, there were two million of men withdrawn from the industiial pursuits for three years, giving you another aggregate, for six million years; multiply that again by four hundred dollars, and see what a vast sum you have. More than seven billions of dollars in the loss to the industries of this country. Again taking into cortsideration the ravages of war, here and there and elsewhere, and you have the grand aggregate of nearly fifteen billions of dollars and to add to your four hundred thousand glorious lives. This is what the generation that is now passing away have contributed in order that the government founded by the fathers might be preserved and handed down to the sons. My friend has told us of some of the bright pages of history that are to be read by the youth now growing up ; he has depicted eloquent- ly and well, very many of the multitude of glorious pages, but he has omitted the grandest page in all of our history, in my humble judgment — it is the record — the glorious record— there is nothing like it since the Saviour of mankind came and suffered and died, and went to heaven. Nothing like it in all history. The people of this country recognizing the full enormity and import of this most wicked rebellion; recognizing the fact that from every fireside there has been taken the first born, remem- bering that at every hearthstone, and at every family board there was a vacant chair, remembering that upon all of the hillsides of the south land, ri NINTH ANNUAL REUNION OF THE on every sunny lanclscaj^e, by almost every gurgling brpok, wherever the tramp of the army had been, wherever heroism had been illustrated, there are humble graves and neglected, ot the loved ones from home. Remem* bering all of that, all of the cost in blood, and fortitude, and the agony, so horrible that it cannot be depicted, that was inflicted upon the brave men in the prisons pens of the south — yet when the rebellion was ended, when the nation had put its foot upon the neck of the rebellion, it welcomed every man, no matter how red handed he w-as, no matter how blood- stained he was, no matter how much of a promoter he was in the wicked- ness and crime against the union— welcomed him back to life and to a state, and to his citizenship. Where is the like to be seen ! [Applause.] No man e.xecuted for his crime against the nation; no traitor punished, no estate confiscated and no political privilege abridged, every man notified to come into the fold of brotherhood and citizenship, and urged to take upon himself anew, the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, and enjoy the transcendent blessings of being one of a republic. In my humble judgment, Mr. President, that achivement, that glorious victory over our- selves, and our prejudices and our passions will be read in the hereafter as the crowning glory of the time, and will be the proudest page in the history of the generation that now exists. [Applause.] We have been governed like this by what our duty was to those who were in arms against us. I v/ill admit that it was hard, and I am a little fearful that I never can pretend, e.Kcept by the use of a great deal of pretense that I am one of those who can forget and forgive all that comes up in my memory when I see that armless sleeve and mutilated men, veterans of twenty-five years ago. Possibly it would be better if I could ; possibly it would illustrate a higher type of manhood if I could, but it seems to me that there are some things illustrated of heroism on one side, and brutal ferocity on the other, that perhaps it is not well on all occasions to forget. [Applause.] I think that in this audience there might be selected many men who know^ something about Andersonville. I was not one of the sufferers in that prison. There are a quarter hundred, or was, of the citizens of my county, ivho were in Andersonville, and I see some of them before me now, men who went into that prison from the paths of the farm, young and vigorous, with bodies full of health, and souls full of hope. Not one of those men but to-day is prematurely old. One of them I saw last night — not nearly so old as I, but he tottered with the infirmities of age, and the horrors of Andersonville. There are some of these young boys who have nevej- heard the story in all its loathsome details — 1 cannot tell it— I can only call attention to some of the features to illustrate it, enough to show the temper and the purpose of those who were in authority. That prison was not unlike in form the table before me, a parallellogram fifteen hundred feet the longest way, and twelve hundred feet accross the ends. Running /OIVA AND MISSOURI VETERANS. 13 through it was a Httle stream of water, and just inside was the deadly dead- line. This little stream came from a morass in which lay rotting wood and weeds and everything of a vegetable nature, and everything that could add to the loathsomeness, and make it unfit to drink. Here was the camp of the confederate guard, the 4th Georgia militia, if I mistake not, and all of the ofifal of the camp washed into this muddy and fiUhy stream. The sides of the camp was a somewhat precipitous hillside so that the offal of the camp found a speedy way into the current of the stream, from which the men must drink. The features of the creek were marshy, and worked up easily into mud, the hillsides near the camp were covered with pines, but with a refinement of cruelty they were all cut down and removed ; no shade of any kind, and the summer sun sometimes beamed down so hotly that in the shade if there had been any, the thermometer would have stood at no, and in winter the mercury fell far below the freezing point, and those men clustered in there so thickly that during the months of July August and September 1S64 the space allotted to the use of four men, would be less than the space occupied by this stand. Their rations were two ounces of bread per day made from corn meal, unbolted, and meat, when meat was served, was an ounce per day, a sweet potato, and on such rations men were expected to live. They became insane in many instances, their reason dethroned, the stronger would steal from the weaker, and would betray one another when escape was thought to be made. The food that was brought them, was brought in the uncleansed wagons in which a score of their comrades festering lately with disease, and covered with sores had been hauled out. These are lacts gentlemen 1 These at- rocities are not the horrible, horrible atrocities of men in low degree and of a low mind. 1 have collected some of these enormities from the report of the adjutant general of the department of the confederate army made directly to^efferson Davis, and that report was found in the archives of the confederate war department, showing that the very head of the confed- eracy knew of the untold sufferings that were being heaped upon the heroes of Andersonville forts, the man in command boasted to this officer that he was doing more for the confederacy than General Lee, at the head of his army of Virginia. That he was filling more graves with Yankee carcasses than was Lee and the trained veterans of his command. You may be able to forget all of these things. [Cries of never ! never!] You may be able to forgive all these things. [Never! never, v/e don't want to!] If you do, I confess it with grief, you have more grace in your hearts than I have in mine. [Great applause.] I am occupying to much of your time — [Cries of go on, go on.] I am only one of many ; I see here my friend, Major Anderson, who will address you ; I see right before me Governor Waldron, who, I hope, will be brought into service, I want to listen as well as to speak. I see my friend. Captain Davis, up there, and I hope j'ou will 14 NINTH ANNUAL REUNION OF THE not allow him to sit there without hearing from him . There are a number of other gentlemen here that I would like to hear, and I will content myself Mr. President, by saying, and I know that I am authorized to say it by every one of my comrades here, that we thank you from the bottom of grateful hearts for this welcome you have given us, not simply as a courtesy to us, but as a recognition upon the part of this people and of all that grand and noble army of which we are glad now from the bottom of our hearts that we were permitted to be a part. [Applause . ] ADDRESS BY MAJ. A. R. ANDERSON. Comrades, Fellow Citizens — I assure you that I appreciate the honor of having been suggested as a fit representative, at least in some degree, to respond to the royal and cordial welcome that has been tendered by the citizens of Creston and vicinity to that grand old army, the remainder of which has assembled here on this fair ground for the purpose of recall- ing and recounting the hallowed memories of war. It will be the pride of my life, fellow citizens, to think that I have been found fit, in some slight degree, in some sense, to stand as a representative of that grand old army that did more in four years of actual war in this country from iS6i to 1865, to lift up and ameliorate and advance the condition of mankind, than any other army has ever done in any of the martial histories of the world. . It makes a grand story, to say nothing about your hardships, your privations and your grievances so eloquently and graphically portrayed by my friends , to say nothing about the long line of grand achievments and the grand triumphs of this grand old army, whose arms .have been mstrumental in achieving a higher condition and a better civilization in this new republic of ours. I am glad to see at this hour in our country's history, twenty years after the smoke has lifted from the battle fields of the south, as large an appreciation on the part of my fellow citizens, old and young, as is evidenced here today in the preparation that has been made for the reception and welcome of old guards of 1861-2-3-4-5. My fellow citizens, I think as my friend has stated that it is fitting on this occasion to do more than simply recount the traditions and stories of our arms during the battles of 1861-2-3-4-5. We are here to do all honors to the old guard of the war of the rebellion, who were more than loyal to this country of ours than any who have preceded them in history. My friend has given you a fine description, but I am not an adept in speaking of these things, and have not the gift, but I want more particularly during rOrVA AND MISSOURI VETERANS. n tlie time that I shall have your attention, to speak of the struggles of the years 1862-3-4, the dark days of the war, and the grandeur of the achiev- ment of the federal armies during that trying period. My fellow country- imen, you have heard from my friend, the field of battle as to- what our government was. At the time of the declaration of independence by our fathers in 1876, they were after independence, and it was left an open question at that time as to the forn-R of government we were to have — as to what constituted this government that was independent. It was left' for the soldiers of 1861-2-3-4 and '65 to solve that problem. My fellow country r^en, as to how well and how wisely and completely it was solved and settled does the present great and abundant prosperity and peace in this country bear witness? [Henry O'Conner, "Prosperity, hell ! with a rmillion of men out of err^ployment." — Laughter.] Grant stands today as the hero of one eix>ch, and General George Washington stands as the personification of the achievments of 1776, when in the United Colonies a separate and distinct power on the face of the earth was begun. General Grant stands- as the personification of the iderj of unification in this country, and the establishment on tlie basis of unification for these states. My fellowcitizens, judging from this standpoint k is easy to see what thearuKes of the republic — of Grant, and Sherman, and Thomas, and Sheridan has done in these long years. It is easy to see what they have accomplished in behalf of mankind. Wow my fellow soldiers, as I said before, you have reason to be thankful that you lived in a lime when you could put your impress on the history of your country where the proudest pages are to be found, and when frcm year to year my fellow citizens are met in these recurring reunions will they become more sacred and hallowed. I do not think there is any politics in discussing with you that great principle intended and sought to be raised by George Washington. I do not belong to that class of pessimists who think we are always in danger. I do not belong to that class of men who think we are always on the eve of a great war. I think Grant's idea of unification has been so thoroughly accomplished that no one in this country desires war. My fellow comrades, I think the bright particular star in the crown of your lOlVA AND MISSOURI VETERANS. 17 glory that will shine undinimed to the end of time, and be an unceasing guide to the feet of patriots in the years to come, in this country, is found in the fact that all of your acts in those days of the splendid accomplish, ments of the Union soldiery . I say the bright particular star in the crown of your glory will be the fact that in all the four years, war for human liberty and human principles, you have maintained at all times such an honorable conduct from one end of the war to another, that there is not a single act on the part of any of the old guard for which any of their com- rades need blush. And on their part the war was fought out on such broad and humane principles that the results commend themselves to the judgment of mankind. My fellow countrymen, and my fellow comrades, I do not intend to detain you here but a few moments longer. I know the length of time that has been occupied preceding me. I know how well and eloquently you have been entertained, and I know how disa- greeable the surroundings are, but I want to talk a few minutes with these old men I see here and then I am through. The Old Guard ! The rem- nant of the grand old army of 1861 ! There are representatives of regi- ments upon this ground today from every state in this union of states, and who are today thankful to have been permitted to participate in that con- flict, and establish the ideas and doctrines and results that make this country the brightest legacy that they could leave to their children and their child rens' children. In this country, my fellow citizens — taking the two epochs in this government under consideration, the first being inde- pendence under Washington, and the second unification under Grant, I submit to you that the Meccas, in the eyes of patriots in this country in all the coming years, will be the shrine of Washington as he sleeps in Mt. Vernon, on the banks of the Potomac, and the tomb of Grant in the River- side Park on the banks of the Hudson. My fellow citizens, the memory of your valiant deeds will live in the minds of the people of this republic with the memories of Washington and Grant. The great purpose of the one, and the great results accomplished will impress upon the minds of the youth of this country such a lesson of patriotism and devotion to their gov- ernment that should she again be wounded they will spring to her defense as did their fathers in 1861 . I thank you kindly and heartily for the atten- tion you have given me under these extraordinary circumstances (raining). I hope, in behalf of these people in Creston, that as a result of the great preparation that they have made, that you will find it comfortable and pleasant, and that you will go to your homes with pleasant recollections of this time and this place and these people who have given so liberally of their time and money to try and make it pleasant for the old guard upon this, the occasion of their reunion . I thank you for your attention . iS . NINTIJ ANNUAL REUNION OF THE ADDRESS OF EX-GOV. WALDEN, OF IOWA. Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen: —It affords me great pleasure to stand before you as the representative of the boys in blue. I JTave in my time filled some places of honor and trust in my county and district and state; btit I want to say to you, in all candor, that I never stood before a people vvith more pride than I stand here today to represent the remnant of the boys in blue. [Applause.] I want to say to you in connection vvith this reunion — if it is a failure (and it is not a failure for the people of this beautiful and enterprising city), yoti have done your part to make it a grand success. In view of the fact that is it raining, if you will give me your attention, I will promise not to detain you more than two hours and a half. My friend, Col. Hepburn, in his address alluded to the fact that not one man was hung on account of the great crime of the rebellion perpetrated against the American nation. I desire to call his attention and your attention to the fact that that man who presided over the prison so graphically described by him, that vast charnel house known as Andersonville (not named in honor of my friend, the major here), was hang at Washington at the close of the war. Col. Hepburn: — He was hung for murder and not for treason. Mr. Walden: — I have made another mis-speech. [Laughter.] I want to say to you that I am full of the milk of human kindness. I would not drown a kitten. I would not brush off a mosquito that had sunk his red well in my hand. But I have always labored under the impression that that man was hung for his misdeeds at that prison. He ought to have been hung between Gen. Witder, who managed that prison, and Jeff Davis, who was the presiding genius. [Applause.] Over here the other day at Leon I was called on for a speech, and I was admonished by the members, or somebody else, that I should not put any politics or religion in my speech. I was reminded of the old preacher in the country who was called to take a charge. He was a genf of some experience, and it was a quarrelsome, wrangling charge, where they had dispensed vvith the services one after another until this man was called . He did not want to get into a fracas and he applied to one of the deacons and asked him how to get along without trouble. "Well," said he, '"there is only one way you can do that here. If you will go into that pulpit every Sunday and preach and never say anything about politics or religion, you will be all right."' Why, gentlemen, you cannot talk without talking politics . What are we here for ? What was the war about ? [A voice "that's it."] I do not tOWA AK'D MiSSOUkI VETEkANS. ' 19 mean partisan politics. I do not mean that I must come here and offend a gent that differs with me as to whether Jones or Smith shall have an office, but I am here to do all honor that \Vithin me lies to the brave bo_vs "who preserved the union of our fathers . What was the condition of the country ? The treasury was bankrupt. There was not money enough in the United States treasury to have bought a square meal for a jay bird. Our ships were scattered and the government trembling on the brink of ruin. You boys (I call you boys for it seems better to me), when you went out the government was in peril and you left home, left all that heart holds most dear, gave up the old homestead, friends, family ties, past four years of your lives ; time when you would have been laying the foundations of financial and business successes ; time when you would have been in col- lege fitting yourselves for the different walks of life. What was the occasion? What would have been the result had you not gone? What would the greenback have been worth ? You made the greenback dollar worth its face in gold wherever the sun kisses the earth. You broke the shackles from four million human beings in bondage. You turned the very sands in the rivers into gold; Unshackled industry and dignified labors stimulated inventive genius; caused the wheels and spindles to turn; caused the railway to stretch across the land, across the Missouri and away to the mountains on our western border, and compelled them to unlock their vaults and give up their treasure^ and a stream of wealth poured into the treasury for years as the harvest of your valor, until there is millions of surplus. And now I see many of my old gray-headed comrades living on forty acre tracts, living in rented houses, and racking their brains and ransacking the jcomnmnity to prove that tweedle^dee is not tweedle-dum. Boys, I am not running for congress. [Laughter.] I believe that the time has come, that the time is now, when every man thai v/ore the blue and looked a vvild rebel in the face ought to have a pension. Because had it not been for your valor and your sacrfices there would not have been any money in the United States to give anybody a pension. If yon have any boquetsforme I want you to give them to me no\V; donH keep them to put on my coffin; don't place them on my coffin, but give them to me today. The sacrifices so eloquently referred to by my friend, the colonel, cost blood and treasure. But that was not all. After the battle of Shiloh, an old gray- headed man was seen walking over the field, his head down, peering anxiously into the faces of the dead. Long he kept up the weary search. He had an only child— a boy, in an Iowa regiment, the pride of the house- hold, and the old man was down there looking for him. The mother had remained at home. After a long and weary search the father traced his 20 NINTH ANNUAL REUNION OF THE boy into one of the hopistals, where he found him wounded and dying, and bent his head until his gray locks rested upon the breast of his child, when his heart was still and his pulse had ceased, and the eyes had closed in death. The old man stood up in the strength of his manhood and ex- exclaimed, "my home now is childness. It is hard. But if I had another boy, if I had another child, he should take up the musket just as it left the dying grasp of this one and go on to the war." And that is not all. There was the mother and. that was the hardest of all. Sitting there, waiting; waiting for the old clock to tick the hours away ; waiting for the weekly mail to bring news of the absent loved ones^that was the hardest of all. I am glad to have been here to look into your faces. Comrades, while I have a home there is always a welcome there. Come in the even- ing, or come in the morning ; come at the noon-tide ; come without warn- ing — you will always find the latch string out. ADDRESS BY GENERAL PHIL SHERIDAN. Comrades: — I came here today to see you and talk with you and shake hands with you, while Col. Carr and others, you know, came here to make eloquent addresses for you to listen to. I think he has been too eulogistic of me in his remarks. It is true that I fought in almost everybody's army, from Pea Ridge to Appomatox, and although I fought with cavalry and with infantry and on every line of operation, and always had to change and take new men on new lines, I was very successful . I went through all the grades they had in the volunteer service, and then I comm'enced and went through all the grades in the regular service, and the date of every commission that I have is the date of ^a battle Now I want to say to you, comrades, this, that I am indebted to the private in the ranks for all this credit that has come to me. [Applause long and continued.] He was the man who did the fighting, and the man who carried the musket, is the greatest hero of the war, in my opinion. I was nothing but an agent. I knew how to take care of men. I knew what a soldier was worth, and I knew how to study the country so as to put him in right. I knew how to put him in a battle when one occurred, but I was simply the agent to take care of him and he did the work. Now, comrades, these are common sense things, and I can't say them in very flowery language, but they are true, nevertheless, and they are true, not of me alone, but of everybody else. It is to the common soldier that we are indebted to any credit that came to us. Now, I am glad to see you here today, gentlemen, and I am /OIVA AND MISSOURI VETERANS. 21 glad to be with you on this occassion. There are many men here today who served in the field with me, and it is a great pleasure to me to find them out, and they have been very kindly in their remarks lo me. While they were with me I certainly did all I could for them. I often laid awake planning for their vv'elfare, and I never killed a man unnecessarily. One great trouble with men who command troops, is that they kill men unnec- essarily. You may kill as many men as you choose, if you give them an equivalent for the loss. Men do not like to be killed for nothing; they do not like to have their heads rammed against a stone wall, unless for some good results. Those are the points I made during the war. When- ever I fook men into a battle I gave them victory as the result of the en- gagement, and that was always satisfactory. XLVTN ANNUAL REUNION OF THE THE REGISTERS.
