to contract with T. O'Hare, of Cincinnati, Ohio, for a monument at the sum of $4.550, which they did, the work to be delivered in six months. The contract was afterward modified so that the material should be Quincy granite instead of "light granite," at an ad- ditional cost of $150, making the total $4.700. The site for the monument was chosen after due consideration of all other points, it being a point on the common 50 feet from Front street and the same distance from the line of Putnam street, in the city of Marietta .*
The monument was completed in due time and was highly spoken of as a work of art. The art critic of a leading Cincinnati journal spoke in high terms of the work of Thomas O'Hare, more especially of the statue, in- tended for the top. He said :
The sculptor has wisely refrained from an attempt to create in marble any ideal type of soldiery man- hood; he has only striven to represent the young farmer-soldier, sun-browned and vigorous from healthy labor in the field, imbued with the natural heroism in- herited by the descendants of a race of hunters, and sternly calm in the firm consciousness of duty. The young soldier figure is altogether characterized less by, grace than by strength-not the trained strength of a well muscled athlete, but with ponderous physical force of a western laborer, with tendons hardened by field work, and such a frame work of bone as only those who live upon a phosphatic country diet possess.
We have no fancy warrior in this memorial statue, but only the image of a fair-haired country youth of rugged face and form, like hundreds who left their homes to die for the Union. Men and women, husbands and mothers, brothers and sisters of the soldier-dead of Ohio will recognize in the pathetic truthfulness of the marble feature some memory of loved ones lost. And this is what the public demand in such works, and what even the most unpatriotic mind may admire.
It is rather a pity that the statue itself, which is but six feet high, is to stand upon a pedestal 26 feet in height. At such an altitude the finer beauties of the statue cannot be advantageously seen. Consider- ing the size of the pedestal, the statue should have been colossal.
INSCRIPTIONS.
The pedestal will, however. be very handsome- a quadrilateral shaft of Quincy granite, with belts of the same material bearing in raised letters the names :
*The other sites voted on were Camp Tupper (Quadranaou), Capitolium Square, and a point on the common near the Congregational Church.

Above the first belt will be the figure of an eagle with outspread wings, perching on a shield in Carrara marble-the same material used in the statue.
On the east side of the die is a polished tablet, with this inscription :
Erected in memory of the soldiers of Wash- ington County, Ohio, who lost their lives in the United States service in the war for the suppression of the Rebellion of 1861.
Washington County was represented in the follow- ing and many other organizations: Thirty-sixth, Thir- ty-ninth. Sixty-third, Seventy-third, Eighty-seventh. Ninety-second, and One Hundred and Forty-eighth Ohio Infantry, First, Seventh, and Ninth Ohio and Second West Virginia Cavalry, and First Ohio and First West Virginia Light Artillery.
Names of the fallen may be seen at the recorder's office.
The base of the monument was completed May 31, 1875. In an excavation in the center stone was placed a tin box hermetically sealed, in which were placed lists of county and city officers, etc .*
The monument having been completed, preparations were made without delay for the dedication. On May 14, 1875, the trustees had appointed R. E. Harte, R. R. Dawes, and the

secretary, R. L. Nye, a committee on dedica- tion, with instructions that the secretary cor- respond with General Rutherford B. Hayes, in- viting him to deliver the dedicatory oration. but owing to other engagements he declined.
General W. T. Sherman, General John Pope, General George Crook. General Edward F. Noyes, and other distinguished military men were invited to be present. General T. C. H. Smith, of Marietta, was finally chosen to de- liver the oration, and September 17, 1875, fixed as the day for the ceremonies.
On the appointed day, at 10 .A. M., a large concourse of people from different parts of the county, estimated at three thousand, as- sembled to witness the dedication. On the speakers' stand, near the monument, was Gen- eral John Pope, of the regular army, General Manning F. Force, of Cincinnati, and others. General Smith's oration was an eloquent trib- ute to the noble dead of the county, of which we are able to give only the closing paragraphs :
We should have done injustice to the manhood of these dead if we had neglected to recall this day their deeds as soldiers. We shall do more than injustice- we shall desecrate their memory as citizens who gave their lives for the common weal-if we fail on this occasion to appreciate the animating spirit on our side, as distinguished from the passions and purposes which actuated and inflamed those on that side against which we strove, and over which, under God, we prevailed. * * *
Do not think I talk party politics. The men who fought this war for us, to whatever party they may now belong, are above criticism as to their motives in public affairs, and their opinions are entitled to respect. I speak only of that on which, then, we all agreed, and ask that by the memory of these dead we may never give it up. Let us, to whatever party we belong, never give up the sentiment and the duty that united us in the war. The Rebellion was a crime against free govern- ment. If that conviction is given up by those who held it, the days of our Government are numbered. And so long as any considerable portion of our people refuse to accept that conviction, so long is our Government in danger.
Let us remember, then, we who were on the stage of action in the great contest, and you our inheritors remember, for what these dead fought-for what they died. And to all. and to future generations, let the appeal rise from the graves of those to whom we now dedicate this monument: "We, to tell of whom this stone was raised, ask of those who come after us that they see to it that we did not die in vain."
In the evening, at the City Hall, a reunion

of veterans was held, President Israel W. An- drews, of Marietta College, delivering the ad- dress of welcome. He referred in complimen- tary terms to the distinguished guests present ; he welcomed the soldiers from far and near who were gathered together on the occasion to renew their acquaintance and friendship; he paid a tribute to the heroic dead whose memor- ies it .was sought to perpetuate by the monu- ment dedicated, though a feeble expression of the gratitude of our people; he referred to the distinguished general of the army and the dis- tingnished jurist, who had laid aside his duties as a private citizen to join the army when our country was in danger. His remarks were re- ceived with hearty applause.
Gen. John Pope spoke in a feeling manner of the "ties of friendship between comrades who fought side by side on so many bloody fields." He referred to the subject then so much discussed of conciliating the South. In closing he said :
Let us remember the solemn legacy these dead men have bequeathed us, consecrated by their lives to main- tain among our ourselves, and to transmit to their and our descendants the results they laid down their lives to achieve.
.
Judge Force said :
But why are these dead so honored? Why is trib- ute given to them that is not given to wealth, or to power, or to learning? Is it because they were brave? Because they were patient? Because they were vic- torious? Because they were slain? No; it is none of these. It is because they died for us; because they gave themselves a cheerful sacrifice that our country might remain one, our free institutions stand perpetual. It is because of the work they did, but still more for the spirit in which they did it.
The monument erected to-day is a tribute of the people to public virtue. Let it stand as long as this nation shall last. It will be honored so long as our institutions shall he upheld by a worthy people. Let it stand in our park, facing the setting sun, no mere ornament, but a lesson and a stimulus. As years roll by and generation succeeds generation, let old and young find in its sculptured face both history and ad- monition. As the sunlight plays about the inscription like the wind breathing upon Aeolian strings. the let- ters will seem vocal, and chant in earnest tones: "The dead died to save their country, let the living so live as to keep it worthy."
After Judge Force had spoken, Hon. Oliver P. Morton, Senator of Indiana, being in the city, came upon the stage, and was called upon to speak. He thereupon referred, in eloquent terms, to the occasion and the commemorative object of the meeting, but confined his remarks to the National as against the States Rights idea.
Speeches were also made by General A. J. Warner and Rev. John Tenney, of Marietta; also by John Beach, a one-armed soldier.
The main object of the association was now accomplished .* but the roll of the dead, re- ferred to on the monument as recorded at the recorder's office remained unprepared until the spring of 1880. S. J. Hathaway having been elected secretary of the association in 1878, pre- pared a bill to enable soldiers' monument asso- ciations to record names of fallen soldiers, war of 1861 to 1865 inclusive.
Hon. Henry Bohl, then representing Wash- ington County in the State Legislature, pro- cured the passage of the bill May 27, 1879, so that the assessors in the spring of 1880 were required to take an enumeration of all deceased soldiers who enlisted from this county. A blank was prepared giving the facts. The as- sessors did their work as well as it could be done after so many years had elapsed since the war. This was supplemented by facts and data, procured at much labor and trouble, from other sources, until a sufficient degree of fullness and accuracy was obtained to justify the record to be made.
*Through the efforts of one of Marietta's public- spirited citizens-M. P. Wells, Esq .- a neat iron fence was, in the spring of 1877. placed around the monu- ment, part of the money to pay for which was donated by the Philomathean society, composed of young ladies of the Marietta high school. The same gentleman then followed up the work so well begun by moving for a donation of four cannon from the United States arse- nal, at Washington, to place at the four corners of the monument. The Hon. A. J. Warner. our Representa- tive in Congress from this district (thirteenth), pro- cured the passage of a bill. approved June 8, 1880, donating to the association four twenty-pound Parrot guns. These were received in the summer of 1880, were let into four stone blocks and placed at the cor- ners of the monument. as they now stand. .

HISTORY OF MARIETTA AND WASHINGTON COUNTY,
How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest ! When spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is sung ; By forms unseen their dirge is sung ; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay ; And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping hermit there!

THE SPANISH-AMERICAN AND PHILIPPINE WARS.
SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR- PHILIPPINE WAR-GEN. HARRISON GRAY OTIS.
SPANISII-AMERICAN WAR.
The cause of the Spanish-American War was the long-continued cruelties and injustice of the Spanish rule in Cuba. The sympathies of the American people had been for many years aroused in behalf of the Cubans, but never found adequate expression until the last struggle for independence began. Negotia- tions were pending in 1897 to find if some peaceable way could not be found out of the terrible conditions which existed in the un- happy island. While these efforts were be- ing made in behalf of peace and humanity the destruction of the U. S. cruiser "Maine," in Havana harbor, February 15. 1898, lit the spark of war throughout the country and started a warlike furor which nothing could withstand.
War was declared and the tremendous en- ergies of seventy millions of people were put 1 in action to free Cuba from Spanish rule. The | Columbus, Ohio.
momentous events of the year 1898 constitute such recent history that it is needless to recount them here. Spain was vanquished.
As in the war of the Rebellion, Washington County did her part well. so in the Spanish- American war and the Philippine war which was a heritage from the struggle for Cuban in- dependence, Washington County did her full duty.
Two companies, namely, "D." and "E" of
the Seventh Ohio infantry, were raised in this county. In addition to these a large number of men were recruited in this county for the United States hospital service and a number of men from this county enlisted in other organi- zations and served during the Cuban war and in the Philippines.
We give herewith the full company rolls of the two companies above named. furnished by Gen George R. Gyger, Adjutant General of Ohio. We made an effort to ascertain the names of the others and have obtained the nanies of a few of the soldiers who enlisted in other organizations, which are added hereto.
The following is a list of names of members | of Company D. Seventh Reg., O. V. I., in the war with Spain, recruited at Lower Salein, Washington County, Ohio, for two years' serv- ice. This company was mustered into the United States service May 13. 1808, at Colum- bus. Ohio; mustered out November 6, 1898, at
The place of residence at the date of enlist- ment is given and in some cases the soldier was not a resident of the county.
From the head of the list down to and in- cluding Albert Wilson, the date of entering the service is given as April 25, 1898. The latter part of the list contains names of re- cruits who entered the company under the sec- ond call. the date of entering the service being given opposite each name.
