The party then went to the hotel for dinner and ut il o'clock the reunion of the I'Mt'dt bri gade , the president's old command , was hold at thoOIKMMhouse , President Harrison was escorted f rum the hotel to tbo scene of the re union by n committee headed by General Daniel Oti.itln.

" ( Applause. ] After thonpi > lau3o Inul somewhat subildou President Hurrisoii ndJrussell the veterans of his old hrlsadoas follivs : "Comrades : The object Of my visit to (5alcshurKwaH ( this incelinp , which wo are to hare now. I should not , 1 think , have been persuaded to innko thli trip except for the pleasure-\vhlch I ex peeled to find In meeting the men of the old brigade , from the most of ivhoml hnvo been separated since muster-out day.Ve have had n great demonstration , but I think we are drawn a little clou'r In this meeting ami understand each other better than In the lurgcr assemblages of which -wo have inado a part. 1 is very ploa.sa'it ' foi'ino toseu so many hew.

Thooniccrsas well as the men had como together , animated by a common pur- purpose , from every pur.su it In lifo. Wowero not so curly in the Held ns some of our com rades.Vo yield them tlio lion or of longer service , but ! think wo may claim for our selves that when our hands were lifted to trlkothe enlistment oath there was no induce ment for any man to KO Into tlio army with the expectation that ho was entering on a holiday. In early clays men thought or hoped It would IK ) brief. They did not measure its duration or breadth. They did not at all rightly estimate the nwful sacrifices that wore to bo made bcfoi-o peace with honor was assured. I well remember an incident of the early days nf volunteering at Indianapolis when tbo llrst companies in response to the llrst call of President Lincoln came hurrying to the capitol. Among the jlrst to arrive was ono from Lafayette , under command of Captain Chris MiUor. Thoycainoin very tumultously and very'en thusiastic for alight. Thcso companies \vei-c orjjani/.od Into regiments , which one by one were sent Into West Virginia or oUierilelds for service. ] t happened that the regiment to-which my friend Miller was assigned was about to leave the state. I met him ono day on the sl.rt'ct and a mora mad and despondent soldier I never saw. Ife was not absolutely choice in the use of his language ; all soldiers were not. I think thu First brigade TOW an exception. [ Laughter. ] Ho was swearinK llko n pirate over the disgrace that had befallen his asso ciates , growing out of the fact that ho was absolutely cotaln that the war would ho over before they got In the Hold left In camp n stranded regiment , having no part in putting down the rebellion. Well his day came presently and ho was ordered to "West "Vlrpinia , and among the first of those who were under the lire of the enemy at Hich mountain and re ceived a millet through his body was Captain Chris Miller. When these regiments of ours were enlisted wo were not apprehensive that the war would bo over bo fore wo had had an adequate share of ih.Vo were pretty cer tain that nil would have enough before \ve were through. The clouds were dark in these days of Wi. 'McCMland was shut up In the peninsula , Bucll was coming back from Alabama , ICirbv S. Smith was entering thvouplx Cumberland Gap anil everything set-mud discouraging. I think I may claim for these men of- Illinois and thet > o men of Indiana mid of Ohio that when they enlisted there was no other motive than pure , down right patriotism and Ihoro was no mlsunder- sUmdingof the serious import of tlio work on which thov entered. [ Applause. ] These curly days in which wo were being trans ferred from civilians Into soldiers were full oC trials and hardships. The ofllccrsworo sometimes bumptous nnd unduly severe. The soldiers had not yet got to understand why a cami ) guard should bo cstabli hcdwhy they should not bo at perfect liberty logo to tpwn. Hut these days were passed soon and they passed sooner \vlion the men went into active duties. I always noticed that there was no great need of a camp ftuard after the boys had marched"twenty - live .miles. Then a serious tlino came when sickness devastated us and di sease swept Its swarlh. Then there cnmo out of nil this that body of tough , strong men ready for inarch and liKht that made up the great armies which , trailer ( Irani anil Slior- innn and Sheridan , curried the llavr to tri umph. The survivors of some of them nro hero todav , and whatever else has coino to us In life , whether of honor or disappointment , I do not think there Is any of us not me , Iain sure who would today exchange Iho satis ruction , the heart cot fort wo have In having been part of the great army that subdued the rebellion , Hint saved tbo country , the constitution and the Hag. [ .Applause ] . If I wore asked today to ex change it for any honor that bus come to mo I would lay down any civil oillce rather than surrender the satisfaction I have in having been nn bum bio partaker with , you In that creal war. [ Applause. ] Whoshall measure it ! Well , RGiicmtions hence , when this coun try , which had 50,000,001) , , now00,000,001) , be come 100,000,000 , when these institutions of ours grow anil develop and spread nnd hon ' ors In which happiness nnd comfort hnvo' their nhiditiK place , then wo may begin to rcallio north and soath what this work was , Wo but imperfectly see It nowet wo have seen iMiouKh of the the glory of the Lord to fill our souls full of quiet enthusiasm , [ .Applause. ] Ihopothorois not a soldier hero fn'whom the lovu of the Hag has died out. I believe there Is not ojie In whoso heart It is not a growing passion. I think a great deal of the interest in the Hag wo see among our chihhen. It Is hecauso yon Imvo taught them what the Hag meant. No ono knows how beautiful it is whom wo see it displayed here on this quiet October day , amid thcso quiet autumnal scene . In those- long , tiro- somn inarchos. in thosct hours ot sinolio nnd bat tlo and darkness , what was there that was Deautlful except the starry banner that floated over us. fApplnuse. ] Our country has t'rowa and developed until it Is today marvelous among the nations of the earth. It has developed. L trust and bnliovo , not only In thoHo material things which nro great , but Is developing also in these qualities of niliiil and heart , in mor ality , in love or order , hi sobriety , In respect for tbo law , In Cod-fearing disposition , in love forour jiooplo. I bcllovu that the sol diers in their places have mode largo contri butions to nil these things. " The president spoke eloquently of that modern marvel the dijbundment of the great army at the close of the war. To bliu it seemed like the snow which nature puts on the earth In the winter season to protect vcgotutlon and which In spring melts nnd disappears and settles in the earth to clothe it with verdure and beauty. This Is n good typo of the disband- incut of tuo army. It wrapped the country llko n. mnntlo of defense when It wivs In ] i rlU but when the danger was passed net tled Into every avouuu nnd pursuit , and stim ulated all of them to liveliest growth. Ho referred to the fact that ago was crooning upon the veterans , and that their bodily strength might not e&luro another war if ono were to come. "But It is a great comfort to feel , " said ho , ' 'that the necessity is not likely to bo laid upon us. 1 think It safe to predict that wo are not likely to Imvo anymore moro rebellions in the United Status. What ever mischief may by wrought under ouo form or another. I do not anticipate wo chall have ( mother rebellion In any quarter or from nay causa. Ono altciAjit hat thoroughly dta * rou raged the others. The futility of it wni thoroughly ostabllshtd as well as tlo- ( fact that a.11 overwhelming mass of our people will In any daniror I do not cnra what Its origin , whether It bo from rebellion or the upllfiluR of the flag of annrchy rite in their might with a sentiment Hint will sweep nny ttiinir which is uplifted , against the orderly well being ot thli country of ours. [ Great applause. ] The president referred to his recent visit to the lloston Grand Army encampment , on which occasion heaw 1O.OOO Sons oC Voter- nns following the Grand Army , and said I "I never was so impressed with the great thought that while \vo move on , nnd may ho a little anxious n ? to how things nro logo on. how this country is to bo defended and Ita flti r upheld when wo are gone , f never AVM so Impressed with an actual demonstration of the fact that there stand in our places young men , lust such as you were when the last-war brolco out , tilled Just as you were with devotion to the country , nnd ready to step Into the r.inks when any enemy , foreign or dome.-stii1. assailed the honor of the Hap.

Jinny of us are yet In somowhct'lorous health , nnd yet the springtime Is over and the summer for some of usVo live not In the past , but wo nro fellow citizens in this active , vigorous present , dohiR our work as we have strength to dolt , looking forward to many more meetings like this , bu t not nil of us , I am afrnld ns wo are look- nip forward to that tltno when ono by ono \vo drop out of thcso nnnual assemblies to a soldier's rest , wrapped In a flag under which wo fought. It Is a pleasant thing and never ought to bo omitted In city or country.Vhcn ono of thcso old soldiers makes lib last surrender , wrap his coflln In the Hag as you bear him to the grave , [ Applause. ] Is'ow , my comrades , 1 want to say to you in conclusion that It refreshes mo to bowith you. Men in public places lire comctlmos not about by these who have their own purposes , cuds , desires and demands , some of them reasonable , but not all of thorn , nnd 1 feel n great comfort in bolng hero In the comrade ship and society of these old friends , who , I nm sure , love me , not because they hnvo anything to expect i"rom me , but for the Rood imldIangsyne. Letmo thank you for hav- lap iloiio mo the honor of iiRaln making mo president of this associ ation. I hope to bo spared and that you may bo spared to incot together moro than once again. There may bo times , I hope , -\vhon my coining may not attract so many people und wo can linvo things more to ourselves. [ Applause ] , It will give mo ple.isuro now to introduce any victims you may select. [ Lausjhtcr " anil npplauso and cries for ( iencral "Uustlii. ] I remember at Gall.itln , wnen General Dustin's regiment was making a rather complicated evolution , that compAny Cdid not understand the word oC command and they started oft in the wrong direction altogether. Some of us in the other regiments -were looking on nnd the colonel with great disgust struck his sword Into the ground. I cannot use his Ian- Kuago altogether [ npplausn and laughter ] , but no said : 'Good-uye , Company C ; If you come this way again , come to eco us. ' " [ Laughter. ] At the conclusion of the president's re marks the applause brought General Dastln to the f x-ont and that gentleman spoke briefly. ITosaid the story just recounted by the pres ident had been told so often and with so many variations that ho thought a Jury who heard all the conflicting accounts would hnvo no hesitancy in pronouncing him " .Kot ljullty. " | Laughter. | Congressman Henderson of Illinois nnd several old members of the brigade were called upon and spoke briefly , after which the veterans passed In single file past tlio president , who grasped each cordially by the hand and gave It a vig orous shako , with a few words of cheer. The president was now driven to the hotel , -where ho retired to a private room , up too p. m. During the afternoon an old lady called and exhibited to the president si letter which made her the most welcome caller of the day. She was a sister of the instructor of his youth , .ToiephN. Porter of Maryland , nnd the loiter she exhibited-\vns ono written by the president at the ngo of ton years In 1SI3. This evening the president attended a banquet given by the Phi Delta Theta so ciety at the college hall. After a few intro ductory words to hU brethren of the Thl Delta Theta society , the president said In part : ' ! feel the greatest sympathy with these young men who arono-vr disciplining their minds for the work of life. I would not , have them mnko thcso days toostrious , and yet they aru full of portent and promise. If I were to select the watchword that I would hnvo every young man write above his door and on his heart It would bo the good word Tldelity. ' I know of no better. A man -who meets evcrv obligation to his faintly , to society , to the state , to his country nnd his God to the very best measure of his strength and ability can not fall of that assurance nnd quietness that comes of a good conscience and will seldom fall of the approval of hlsfello w-meii and will never fall of that reward which is promised to faithfulness. Unfaithfulness , lack of fidelity to duty , to work nnd obligation is to open the door to nil that is disgraceful and degrading. " Later the president attended a banquet given by the First brigade. Ifrrni GaleslHirjc to BL'iii.ixoToy , la. , Oct. 8. Tlio run from Galesburg toUurlintrton , la. , was very vap idly inaiio and with few stops ot Monmouth - mouth nnd other towns.

Ilurling- ton was reached at 10 o' clock , whore an en thusiastic reception was accorded the presi dent. The party was welcomed with the boom ing of cannons and ojuortud from the train to the Burlington Commercial club , whcro Mayor Ooorgo A.
