675 - L Oct. 3; ed:4/4 - Mr. Jerome, manager of the Soldiers home,
kept a register of the votes of soldiers stopping there. After a week
or more it became so monotonous, that he gave it up in disgust. It was
like playing at "sparking" alone. Soldiers were so unanimous for Lincoln
that Jerome juight as well have been chewing gum, so far as profit is
concerned, as taking votes. "How Mac does run in the Army! Like a
crab, backwards!" (2)

Give the reason and your readers will be saved the necessity of gulping
down a naked lie. Some years ago certain of the faithful who follow
the shammy light of the PLAIN DEALER lost money by putting faith in its
fiction, and betting accordingly. Is the PLAIN DEALER desirous of doing
them a similar wrong? (2)

Edward F. Noyes of the 39th Ohio regiment was introduced as the first
speaker. He touched upon the origin of the war, and distinctly proved .

proceeded to picture the desolation which the madness of the South had
brought about. His eulogy and defense of Lincoln was greeted with the
wildest enthusiasm and applause. - - -
J. H. Rhodes, Esq., closed the meeting with a very vigorous and
eloquent speech, and made a powerful appeal to the people to rally in
their might at the coming election. The influence of this meeting will

the opening of the great Sanitary fair in Cleveland. The train from Co-
lumbus arrived early today with the members of the state legislature. They
were given a dinner at the Weddell House, where Mayor I. U. Masters gave
a speech welcoming them to Cleveland. A parade was given by the members
of the 29th O. W. M. The immense audience hall was filled for the inau-
guration ceremonies. Mayor Masters presided and introduced the Rev. S. C.
Aiken of the First Presbyterian church, who opened the proceedings with a
prayer. Lieutenant Governor Anderson gave a speech in which he praised
Cleveland. Maj. Gen. J. A. Garfield also spoke, praising Ohio's gallant
soldiers of the civil war, and the great Sanitary fair was declared duly
opened. None of the departments were entirely finished, and their beauties
were not fully developed; but the general effect of floral hall, the
bazaar hall, the fine arts hall, and the museum was perfectly enchanting.
It is expected that every department connected with the fair will be fin-
ished today. (98)

1035 - H July 5:3/1-4 - The Fourth of July, 1864, will be remembered in
Cleveland as being one of the most noteworthy celebrations of the
national birthday ever held within its limits. The streets were crowded
with people. The stores, with but one or two exceptions, were rigidly
closed. The procession formed early in the morning. It was composed
of the city police, the Hecker band, and the various U. S. army di-
visions. It moved through the Square, where it broke up, to be followed
by a dinner in honor of the veterans. As soon as dinner was over, the
exercises opened. George Wiley gave an able oration on the differences
between the North and the South. He defended the Northern people's
stand against slavery, and urged continuance of the war until it is
wiped out. "It is in fact a war between a higher and lower grade of
civilization.... All the great interests of civilization are pledged
to the final triumph of the soldiers of this Republic," he said. The
oration was received with frequent bursts of applause. At its conclu-
sion, Colonel Sawyer of the 8th Ohio rose and thanked the orator.
Mayor Senter presided over the proceedings and introduced the speak-
ers. Letters from the governor of Ohio and Major General Heintzelman,
apologizing for not being able to attend, were received. (79)

Britain and Ireland to the United States, and the enlistment of many im-
migrants in the Union army is causing much comment and discussion in the
British parliament.
In a speech Lord Howard says that the U. S. government has recruit-
ing agents on emigrant ships; also, that Englishmen, permitted to get
drunk on arrival in this country, have entered the Union forces to their
regret. "Such outrages are not confined to foreigners, however, and we
wish that means could be taken to stop them. We have failed to discover
any case that any state or federal officer had knowingly forced an emigrant
against his will into service, and as long as good land and high wages are
more easily obtained in this country than in England, there will not be
wanting Englishmen, Irishmen and other Europeans ready to avail themselves
of the offered advantages." (13)

reaching Washington, although soldiers and army wagons are visible at
various points, one feels that he is no nearer the field of deadly
strife than if he were a hundred miles away.
"As we stood on the dome of the capital, (sic) our eyes were attract-
ed by a novel procession starting from a steamboat near the junction of
the East and Potomac rivers. A train of ambulances, in slow procession,
moving from a steamboat on the Potomac, suggested wounded men from the . .
army of Grant. A number of ladies were present with wine, brandy,
coffee, and crackers, who ministered to each wounded man as he came
from the boat." - - (21)

of this devastating war upon the Union." In Stephens' address in 1860
before the Georgia legislature, he admitted that Lincoln's election was
not sufficient cause for Rebellion.
The leading traitors of the South had been trying to organize and
consummate secession as completely as possible before the inauguration
of the new President, and the Rebels would not have seceded if the
Republican party had agreed to throw open the territories to slavery,
which was simply asking the party to give up the principle on which it
had elected Lincoln.

South - on their heads must abide the consequences." (20)

under the impression that the Rebellion could be overcome by surrounding
it on all sides and choking it out, anaconda style. After Grant was
placed at the head of the armies this plan was abandoned, and Union
forces massed against points of vital importance to the Rebellion. The
result has been that the Rebels have been out-numbered in all the major
engagements.

the Rebellion must progress still further. The plan certainly looks

needed to make it such, there is no apology needed by Congress if they
do not make it such."
The Union armies need re-enforcement.

may be done with an overwhelming army. We have gone too far to retreat,

of the Cleveland Bar association, and at a meeting held in the county
court house resolutions were adopted by that body expressing respect
for the memory of its departed members.
A committee cf five was appointed to receive the remains of the dead
soldiers, among the members being Judge J. P. Bishop, N. B. Sherwin,
and W. C. McFarland.
Judge Bishop, in his adāress on the death of Captain Philpot, said:
"Knowing him as I do, I can bear testimony to his uniform, correct habits
and integrity. Though apparently diffident, when responsibility de-
volved upon him he never shrank from it, but performed it with unwonted
firmness and integrity. -
"It was the discovery of this trait of character that caused me to
advise him to enter the service of the country, and do what he could to
aid in the suppression of the rebellion."
W. C. McFarland spoke principally about Captain Hutchinson, saying,
"I was well and 1ntimately acquainted with him. He was my classmate in
law school. In my judgment his was not one of those great overshadowing
minds which so readily grasp the philosophy, and dive deep into the
bowels of the law, but he was a man of ordinary capacity, with remarkable
industry." (52)

2408 - L June 28; ed:2/1 - A very important debate occurred in the house
of lords, in which the question of federal recruiting was discussed. The
opponents of the government made a violent effort to prove that the con-
tinuation of the war is wholly due to the fact that foreigners, especially
the subjects of the queen, are enlisted into the federal army. The Marquis
of Clauricade made the statement that "if the proper measures had been
taken to prevent it long ago, the civil war in America would have ended
before now; and if the recruiting of British subjects were now put a stop
to," he believed the war would be brought to an early end.
"From these features of the discussion it is also clear that tile question
of intervention is liable to come up in a new phase before long.
"Success of our armies can alone prevent it. Every energy should there-
fore be put forth to accomplish the work to be done, this summer." (10)

2576 - L. Aug. 18:2/3, 4 - In a letter to the editor, "Celon" expresses
very accurately the feeling our army has toward peace grumblers. He
says: "Our blood has often boiled with indignation at the actions of
these would-be men but of late our anger has turned to pity, and our
sympathies for them prompt us to give them some advice: As you have
not the heart to fight, do not talk so much. The continual spouting
about constitutional rights, personal safety, etc., prove that you only
have a place for brains."
The soldier dies in hope of victory, and the bliss of such dying
compensates for a life of suffering. Not so with you who only think of
peace at any price. (15)

2608 - L Sept. 9; ed: 2/1 - The Rebel Commissioner Ould professes to be
affected by the condition of the Union soldiers held in the South, and
offers to make an exchange. But he makes no concessions on the sub-
ject of Negro soldiers.
General Butler refuses to exchange "until every man dressed in the
uniform of a United States soldier shall be recognized and treated as
a soldier, not as one to be sold into slavery.
The Rebels at present treat all colored soldiers as runaway slaves.
All officers of colored regiments, by an order from Jeff Davis which
has not yet been repealed, are delivered over to the state authorities
to be treated as criminals subject to death.
The position of Butler is sustained by every principle of national
and municipal law.
"Their sºameful abuse of our men in Georgia, over which Ould af-
fects to shed tears, has been solely for the purpose of compelling our
government to barter away its honor and its faith which it pledged to
every black man on entering the Army." (17)

J. C. Grannis, city attorney, spoke as follows: "You, and those who
went with you, whether present here today, or absent, whether among the
living, or the dead, shall be forever after held in grateful remembrance."

amid the carnage of battle - that there are but two alternatives left
us - the one a base and cowardly submission, the other, to break the
power of the southern states. We must gain our peace by craven sub-
mission, or by annihilating the armies of the South." The reception

"trickery" during our week's stay and said we were guilty of planning

the transfer had been made and reported the news to Maj. H. C. Laundon.
"The members of our company are very grateful for the kindness shown
us by the people of Elyria and they passed resolutions to that effect.
