EIGHTH REUNION
Now it was this thought or idea of the framers of the constitution, which carried their genius through all our political struggles until now. They knew that secession would some day lift up its head. They could already hear the mut- terings of the slave power, they could already see down the years and the lift- ing up of the hand of a single state and the asking of a single flag instead of our national banner. Comrades, when Calhoun had staked everything on nulification it was the genius of those illustrious men that stood in the stalwart form of Andrew Jackson and said, "by the eternal this union must and shall be preserved." When Robert Y. Hayne, the most skillful orator of the South stood in the United States Senate and lifted up the principles of Calhoun in an almost matchless speech. It was the genius of those old patriots again massed in the splendid powers of oratory of the great defender of the constitution, Daniel Webster, and he made this union tremble in its very citadel as he said "Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable." When at last the powers of the doctrine of Calhoun in orations and great state papers had massed their forces at Ft. Sumpter and hurled their shot and shell at the flag and fortress it was the genius of those old fathers again in the person of Stephen A. Douglas, and he made traitors tremble when he said "that the most stupendious preparations for war is the shortest road to peace. It is a question of order of the stability of the government of the peace of com- munities the whole social system is threatened with disruption and at such times men are either patriots or traitors."
Was it possible that a portion of our people would so far forget their man- hood and love of country as to defy the government and those who would be found ready aud willing to support it? Such was the case in April, '1861. Comrades, even though you were mere boys then, who can forget what followed.
The president called for 75.000 tien to assist in putting down the rebellion and enforcing the laws. Then recruiting officers were in every town. Every old fife and drum was brought out and made to sound the alarm and give courage to enlistments.
The North rallied around the great flag with an enthusiasm and unity that obliterated all party divisions. It enshrined in its holiest affections the union of the states as a sacred sentiment inseparable from human liberty. To defend the union was the one sentiment which dominated pulpit, press and people, and aroused a sentiment that swept like a cyclone through the land. The South was nerved by a sense of duty that swayed her people as the wind moves the billows, and rallied her young men around her battle flags with an ardor as intense as our own. Thus were raised the armies of the North and South. Then began a series of battles which resulted alternately in favor of each side. This nerved the south to nobler effort, and indicated to the North the magni- tude of its undertaking. More calls for volunteers were made, and regiment after regiment marched to the front.
There was heroism in the field and heroism at home. There was sorrow everywhere. From city and hamlet, from mansion and cottage, from old and

young, from rich and poor, from North and South came up lamentations for the loved and lost, but still the war went on. Fierce, cruel war kept calling for more men. Thousands, tens of thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands could not satisfy the demand, New troops were hurried to the front to save the nation's life by laying down their own At Shiloh, Antietam, and Stone River, men continued to give up life in defense of what they believed ro be right. At Gettysburg, Chickamagua, in the valleys, among the pines, and away up on the misty mountains of Lookout and Kenesaw, where their peaks were nearest God, they made their beds of glory and of death.
Oh my countrymen, may we not hope that after American manhood and self respect had been thus vindicated that the nation will be stronger and richer in loyal citizenship! May we not hope that freedom is safer, and that the "diverse elements were melted in the crucible of war, cast into a crown of strength and beauty, and north and south with their united hands will lift up the crown ane place it on Columbia's brow." May we not hope that these are some of the blessings as the result of that war?
Comrades, we are met once more to review those eventful times of our army life. It is an occasion of sorrow and hope. To us all it is au occasion of sorrow when we realize that of all that vast army which kept step to the music of the union, more than half are now camping "on the other side of the dark river." But we have their memories and their examples, their influence and their patriotism to inspire us still. While you may rejoice in what you have done, do not, I ask, forget the services of others to their country, who, in their day and generation, did their part. Think of those who faced British cannons in the first battles of the nation, and of those who stood with Jackson at New Orleans. Also, of those whose blood enriched the sands of Mexico, and tell me when the boy left his home to follow the flag to the land of the Astees and halls of Maulagama; and in his first battle rushes ubon impending danger and almost certain derth, under his country's flag, what recognition, what reward he ex- pected. Tell me when union women in the south during our late war stood by that flag unprotected, while marching battalions threatened death unless it was furled, what national recognition they expected. Tell me when McPherson rode into the gap of death to see where the enemy was, what reward he ex- pected. Tell me when Farragat lashed himself to the masts of his ship and sailed round the bristling batteries in Mobile Bay that he might achieve his great triumph. Tell me what triumphal arch he expected to be erected to him. Tell me when those beardless boys left Peoria to bear their country's banner to nobler heights -- and are now sleeping beneath the cedars and pines of Georgia and Tennessee, tell me what reward they expected from the nation? The Com- mander and the private soldier knew of but one impulse and expected but one reward-the consciousness in their breasts at that time and in that impending hour of having performed to its full height their individual duty.
The war for and against the union was fought by our own people. It led to acts of dauntless bravery and imflinching death on many nameless fields. It led to deeds of bravery without reward and too often without a record. It led

to deeds of heroism greater than those now recorded; but thank God, it led to a redeemed and restored union, and the reward to the union soldier was and is the consciousness of duty accomplished and the knowledge that the great American idea of self government still lives, and in the power bestowed on the republic to achieve greater good.
Comaades, were I an artist and desired to perpetuate on canvas some one scene of the war period, I would not select scenes of battle, no matter how im- portant, not even the storming of Mission Ridge, and the planting of our flag on top of Lookout Mountain, than which no grander achievement of men was ever witnessed by mortal eyes; neither would I select Hancock's men, spartan- like, repulsing the heroic charge of Picket's veterans at Gettysburg, grand and inspiring as it was; por would I select Graut in the act of receiving the sword of the great Confederate chieftian at Appomatox, good and glorious as it was; nor the grand review of the armies at Washington afterward, although the greatest military pageant of modern times, but I would select a scene of an entirely different character, one in which sorrow and grief alone were depicted. I would select Lincoln's last departure from the nation's capitol, a scene in which on the fact of friend and foe alike were depicted sorrow and regret, a nation in tears, and beneath that picture I would write these words: The result of man's inhumanity to man. I remember a few days after that great tragedy, of standing beside the remains of the great emancipator in Ohio's capitol. As I stood there gazing on that sad pathetic face I thought of our long strugle for the suppression of the rebellion, and of the intense interest that must have been taken in it by this martyr from Illinois. I then realized how much sacrifice, anxiety, mental suffering and care had been the lot of this man. That while the general watched the movement of the enemy in his department it was this man's duty to watch over all fields and departments. On his shoulders had rested the responsibilities and at the same time designing persons were trying to influence his actions, and narrow minded politicians were trying to create a hatered in his bosom, not alone ror those in rebellion. but some of his own official householdl. And he was also misunderstood and mispresented, but in all things he remained true to bis noble nature and his sense of right and justice, and said, "that come what may I will keep the faith with friend and foe." Although assassinated at the dawn of peace, he lived long enough to see the influence for good of his actions toward a people who, although in rebellion, were still to be a part of the nation. To Abraham Lincoln the southern people owe much for bis broadminded unselfishness, a ruler whose great big heart went out in sympathy for those in rebellion as docs a father for wayward children, and no mai of our times has done more to shape the character and destiny of the republ'e than did Abraham Lincoln. It has been said that "the loftiest of mankind, the divinest of mortals have been the martyrs whose blood has enriched the world and fromn whose graves the most precious harvests have been gathered." It may be so.
It is now more than twenty-nine years since you returned to your homes crowned with victory. In that time changes have been wrought which would

indicate the growth and progaess of a century in any other country. That the call to arms which sounded in your ears thirty years ago, may never again be sounded is the hope of young and old alike. But should it come I know you will find your egample has not been in vain. As your inspiration was drawn Lexington and Bunkerhill, so theirs will come from Chicamauga and Gettys- burg, and in the future time, thank God, the call will not be heard alone in the North, but borne on a friendly breeze it will ring through cotton field. canebreak and plantation, ou and ou, until the winds from off the southern gulf shall alone check its flight, its echo shall be the tramp of soldiers, clad in loyal blue and whose footsteps shall keep pace, not to the "bouny blue flag or Dixie," but to that old "Star Spangled Banner." And at the head of the great column born triumphantly aloft free flung to the breeze of heaven shall wave that splendid banner of the republic, raidient with its stripes of red and white and bearing that bright sisterhood of stars in a field of blue. Then, when this southern band marching toward their nation's capital shall meet their brothers of the North, and blended in one vast army, shoulder to shoulder shall march against the common foe. How glorious then shall be your victory, how triumphant then will be your causes. Need I recall the deeds by which that victory was won. Need I recall the names of those to whom the nation's debt is due. History has told this glorious tale and nations have paid tribute to the genius of your leaders, but far beyond flattery's song is the con- sciousness of duty faithfully performed and the knowledge that free govern- ment by the people still lives. That the great crisis was safely passed was due in great measure to the influence, lofty patriotism and virtue of two most dis- tinguished sons of Illinois.
The Union was the object for which they contended. They labored for the preservation of that government handed down by the fathers. They had been opposing candidates for the Presidency, yet were personal friends. Douglas bad confidence in Lincoln; held his hat while he delivered his inaugural address, and at the close cheered him because of the sentiments expressed. He died just as the clouds of war were darkening our fair land, but his influ- ence for the union had done much good. Lincoln died just at the opening of a grander day for the republic, but his broad-minded patriosism, his unselfish love for his country, had taught all, even those in rebellion, that this nation was still the refuge of the oppressed of all other lands, and the misguided souls of our own.
Comrades, as our ininds recall the persons and events of those years in which the nation struggled for life, there rises before us the majestic figures of the great leaders of our armies; and especially that fearless soldier and modest gentleman; the soldier who was cool and self-possessed in the presence of every danger, and, with marvelous forsight and skill planned masterly cam- paigns and guided the armies to enduring victory, I need not name him, for his name is written in ever-enduring letters on the hearts of all loyal Ameri- cans, and has been honored throughout the world. Around him I see a uut- ber of intrepid officers whose achievements have surrounded their names with a
16
EIGHTH REUNION
glory which outshines the luster of coronet or crown. I would not pluck oue leaf from the laurels with which they are garlanded. I would if I could lift to still higher note and sing in still loftier strains the peans which are chanted in their praise. But I also see the men whom those great Generals commanded; men who loved their country with a love stronger than the love of life, and with no thought of reward or compensation beyond that of their country's safety, freedom and honor. I see those men who formed the lines of battle in those great campaigns; I see them at night in the rain, on picket, in hospitals, in camp, on the march, shoeless, footsore and weary, yet unshaken in their de- votion to the Union, and with uncovered head and profoundest reverence, I bow before those dauntless heroes, believing that if greatest suffering with least hope of reward is worthy of the highest honor, they deserve to stand shoulder to shoulder with those great chieftains in the brotherhood of glory. Abraham Lincoln wrote the great proclamation of emancipation, but had it not been for the men of the ranks it never would have been worth the paper on which it was written. Lincoln has the credit for that step forward in human liberty, but it was the services of those who carried the musket that made it possible to plant that old banner on the cloudless heights of universal freedom, where it shall wave forever.
The preservation of peace and union now and always depends upon the intelligence and understanding in all sections of the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. It requires moral and intellectual manhood, together with a strong sense of justice and fair play toward all classes, or violations of law and the destruction of peace will follow. In the great growth of wealth, conflicting interests will divide our people. Already we have problems to solve which threaten to make trouble. There is a spirit of anarchy prevalent in our coun- try which forbodes danger. How will you arrest this impending evil? By creating dissentious prejudice aud hatred of one class of section against an- other? Perish the thought! Perish doubt and disaster! Perish everything which prevents our people from being one in interest and in heart! The time is coming when we will need all the patriotism to be found. And as it has been in the past, so it will be in the future, that each generation must look after the patriotism of the country, as well as of its business and social life. But long live American manhood and self respect! Long live the spirit of justice which begets peace and unity! Long float that flag, the proudest emblein of law and order on this earth! The flag of our entire country, and of the foremost aud freest of human governments, embracing in its unity the welfare of sister re- publics, and teaching all the people of earth to following and becoming free.
Miss Louisa Morrow, daughter of Comrade Morrow, recited a panegyric by Henry Ward Beecher, on Abraham Lincoln.
Lieut. Kingman moved that a committee of three be appointed to consider the subject of a History of the 86th Regiment. E. C. Silliman, A. L. Fahne- stock, and A. P. Webber were appointed and instructed to report ot our reunion in 1895.
On motion of Martin Kingman, a committee of one from each Company.

Fahnestock, Co. K-Emanuel Kellar, were appointed to correct each company's postoffice directory and report the same to the adjutant. This was followed by a kind of Love Feast speaking meeting, in which many comrades took part, several from other regi- ments, and batteries too.
Recitation by Miss Jones.
A. P. Webber moved that each comrade bring relics and souvenirs to our next reunion to exhibit as a kind of museum. Carried.
The meeting then adjourned for dinner. 7
AFTERNOON SESSION.
J. H. Brubaker moved to hold the next reunion in Peoria on Aug. 27 and 28, 1895 Carried.
Commander John H. Hall was theu installed and made a very caruest feeling address. He invited members of the 85 and 125 Ill., 52 Ohio and 22 Ind., if there were any members of those regiments present, to take seats on the platform. B. S. Vangorden, Co. F, 125 Ill. and J. M Piper, Co D, 22 Ind., responded.
We then formed into a hollow square and sang "God be with you till we meet again," and Chaplain pronounced the benediction.
In a few minutes, Good Bys were said and the Old Boys dispersed.
I heard several comrades remark that "this seemei to be the most pleas- ant, and enjoyable reunion we had ever had," or words to that effect.
