ADDRESS OF HON. STILWELU H.
RUSSELL TO OLD VETERANS.
A Comrade of the Gray Greets Com-
rade of the Blue Let There Be
Love and Tears for the Blue
and Tears and Love for
the Gray.
The following Is the address of
Hon. Sttlwoll II. Russell delivered to
the vetorans on memorial day at
Rose Hill cemotory:
Members Chickasaw Post No. IS
O. A. It. Ladles and Countrymen:
As a comrade of the old Gray I
greet you as comrades of the old
Blue.
"No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding rivers he red;
They banish our anger forever.
When they laurel the graves of t!io
dead ;
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting Iho Judgment day;
Love and tears for the Uluo
Tears and love for tile Gray."
Whorovcr the Hag of our country
rolds dominion this day Is recognized.
In every village town nnd city of our
land the dead arc remembered now.
At the behest of patriotism this is
'done.
The wnr of tiio states that threaten
od the llnal separation of our gov
eminent is of the past and absolute
reconciliation now cements our pco
pic In one union nnd all that Is left
of that bitter conflict Is the hallowed
right to hold In reverence tno mem
ories of those who struggled and died
In that conflict in behalf of v'iat they
believed to bo right
It Is a beautiful custom that brings
In observance this day a day on
which by tho countenance of the Giv-
er of all good and law of our land It
becomes -Hie sacred pleasure or tho
people to meet in memory of tho
dead and over their graves an Insen-
sato clay strew tho flowers of spring
emblematical of their love and of
peace.
Therefore we too are hero for the
holy purposo In this tho homo where
all Is peace where strlfo and dis
cord and thob Icltcrlngs of tho world
aro unknown to perform with rovor-
enco a;id nil humility the kln-l ofllces
calling us together. Ours Is an ex-
alted duty. In tho sense that It brings
us In patriotic ccmniunlon wlththoso
who loved their country those who
thought It best to do and to Oaro for
its safety and risked nil that they
might share In tho glory of n country
preserved with her flag tho star span-
gled banner kept unfurled ns the
emblom of tho people undivided.
While wo propose to ho loynl to
tho memories of tho past anl forget
nono who sleep In earth's embraco as
a sacrifice to patriotism and love of
homo yet let us In good faith ever
remember thnt love of our country
is supremo and should be and Is the
dominating afTectlon of mind and
heart; that sectional lines no longcn
live and that from tho North nw'
South East nnd West have been

Uncoln! Lincoln! What memo-
ries dost thy namo conjure this day?
Ycu whose life was of tho brlRhtost
honor nnd whose patriotism was as
puro and unselfish as Justice. You
whoso tomperamcnt and character
was such as Is formed by nature In
all her modest and beautiful strength
and whose mind was of such culture
and heart of such love thnt they each
moved In charity nnd turnod upon
the polos of truth. You who was
unknown to fame yet became tno
object of renown and unused to pow-
er became Its master without abuse.
You who loving rreedom became
Its martyr and In dying bequeathed
to your country tho gentlest memory
In all her history. "It seoms that
whon nature him first bogan sho
meant to show all that could be in
man."
Hotter than Perlclos said of anclont
Athens Ours Is tho form of govern-
ment that has no rival In the Institu-
tions of other people. Wo do not
copy from others; wo give examples
to them. Wo aro a Domocracy In
tho sense that tho many govern and
not tho few. Our country is our gov-
ernment nnd Is tho horltago of ev-
ery citizen. Tho perpetuity of Its In-
stitutions no longer depend upon the
political complexion of its put He ser-
vants. It is as durablo aT tho fame
of Washington; as grancr as magnifi-
cent and so brilliant In achieve-
ments that her record Is without a
parallel. Tier heroes and statesmen
dead and living whothcr on field of
battle or In tho forum fill tho pagos
'of history with honorable renown.
Onward and upward has It moved
since rocked In tho cradle of liberty
In '7C until today It has gone beyond
the limit reached by any republic that
ever existed. Doing tho home of free
men It has given tho world men
and women of such grandeur chiv-
alry and worth that can only bo de-
veloped In a land of freedom.
Our country love of It inspires tho
patriot and enthuses tho masses.
Wonderful land without a master Of
a fave without a subject or a serf.
Generous land that proclaims to tho
oppressed of every cllmo to sect:
shelter under tho broad aegis of Its
protecting power nnd dwelling under
Its starry-striped banner become dis-
enthralled and redeemed from tho
proscriptions of other lands.
What a glcrlons consolation my
countrymen it is to know that ours
Is a land of liberty; a land of free-
dom In which all have a share. Thdso
who were once slaves wear no longer
tho fetters tnat bound them and to
their manhood Is entrusted cnual In-
terest In tho destinies of our coun-
try. Let us say to our neighbor bo
he white or black that by Us man-
hood ho shnll bo Judged and by merit
shall rights bo determined. Prejudice
like Ingratitude Is a sin and i-oor In-
deed fno Judgment nnd worso t:io
heart that will deny to Its fellow
what It claims for itself. Tho civil
and political rights ot men aro aliko
in this country. Tho law is for all
tho flag Is for all the government Is
for all and In this trinity ot Justice
every one uo matter his race or cotor
protectlou guaranteed by tho declar
atloti of Independence ami In the ut
most power of the government to sus
tain.
Our country Is peerless lu power
and should bo generous to Its chil-
dren. Strong enough to sustain tho
shock of civil war It should ho ablo
to forget the dissensions ot tho past
and whorovcr duty to humanity and
tho rights of man appeal to Its pro-
tecting folds It should plant Its stan-
dard there.
It was the new born eloquence of
Patrick Honry that warned tho colo-
uios thnt transformed them Into a
lurid blaze of war for seven ovontful
years nnd in that crucible ot war
and tho mourning homos of patriots
was tho baptism of tho Infant repub-
lic. From the Imporial fount was
drnwn American liberty nnd from tho
crown 'ot Georgo tho Third was ta-
ken our Jewel of cltlzonslup. That
