it were in my power to be present.
The record of tlie society of the Ar

(Irani. Garfield and Harrison.
Pour commanded tlie army uflei
the civil war Grant, Sheridan, Sliei

Two reached the supreme, court
Matthews and Harlan.
You have had many members li
the cabinet, in tlie senate and iu tin
house of representatives, one of then
Gen. Keifer, becoming speaker (
the house.
For this exceptional record yon an
entitled to the respect and aduiiratio,
nf your countrymen; but after all tin
undying claim that you have upon tin
people Of (his nation rests upon Ih
Tact that all of you, from the major
general lo tlie private, did your fu
