&lt;p&gt;The Veterans Hallelujah Chorus.  Air. -- "John Brown." Key of C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Fall in, Comrades, "rally once again!" What we won with bullets, our ballots will maintain; We'll "whoop it up" for Harrison from Oregon to Maine, As we go marching on!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Glory, glory hallelujah, shout the Loyal and the True, for The Eagle and the Flag downs the Rooster and the Rag, as we go marching on!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Sons join your fathers, of soldier blood you're proud: Mothers and daughters will help to swell the crowd; Songs and shouts for Harrison will echo long and loud, As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Farmers are with us, for they have brains to tell That closing manufactories cuts off their trade as well, The wages of the worker buy the "truck" they have to sell, As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Laborers are with us, from bench and forge and shop; For they must have Protection, or see their wages drop! If Europe "floods the markets," our Industries must stop! As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Men who won our victories, and men who "win" their bread, Men who feed the people, and people who are fed, Raise the shout for Harrison and "boom" him right ahead! As we go marching on!--Cho.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that be true, we'd like to know What makes old John Bull bellow so?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;can't come in without the key, Called Jim Blaine's "Reciprocity."

&lt;p&gt;Stand, Patriots. Stand. Concluded.  Refrain.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then stand Patriots, stand, Protect our glorious land. Stand
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then stand Patriots, stand, Protect our glorious land. No
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then stand Patriots, stand, Protect our glorious land. We'll
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
by the brave who fought to save The Union and our Banner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Queens or Kings or trusts or rings Shall rule this Yankee Nation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;win this mill with McKinley's bill, The next with Bill McKinley.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
High-ho! Here we go! To whoop it up for Harrison, *Reid and Co.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Note. In repeating the last measure, Glee Clubs in the several states may, if they choose, do as Grover and "General" Stevenson did, when the draft got after them.--put in substitutes for the names "Reid and Co." For example: in Illinois, make it "Private Joe." In Indianna, "Chase and Co." In Michigan, "Rich and Co." In Wisconsin, "Spooner and Co." In Nebraska, "Crounse and Co." In Kansas and New Hampshire, "Smith and Co." In Missouri, "Warner and Co." In Iowa, "Mc' and Co." In Minnesota, "Knute and Co.," In West Va., "Davis and Co." In Conn., "Merwin and Co." In Mass., "Haile and Co." Let McKinley's "Buckeyes" sing In O-H-I-O." And so on, East, West, and everywhere.
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where Am I At? Words by Chaplain LOZIER. Arr. by H. G. LOZIER.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. We have some "Bourbon" congressmen, Who love to take a spree, and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. And when "Old Glory" was assailed By treason's maddened crew, Our
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. And when you met, ye war-scarred Braves, On Decoration Day, Upon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
when they make a speech they take A shade to much "cold tea." They
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Ben" was there to do and dare, Among the "Boys in Blue." But
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;on your fallen comrades' graves Your offerings to lay, Where
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
sweat and swagger, howl and brag, And sip and sip away, And
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grover and his "General," Where were they then? O, where? A
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;was that fat Ex-President, Who now for votes appeals? The
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where Am I At. Concluded
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;when they get to big a "jag" The stop and sagely say: --
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;training with the Copperheads Who fought us in the rear!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;soldiers say he went that day A fishing after eels!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Oh! "where am I at?" Can you tell? The Republicans know by the smell! But the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh! where were they at? You can tell! But their substitutes fought just as well. For a
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh! where was he at? Can you tell? While you mourn'd for the heroes fell? When the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
first democrat that you meet, ask him that, And the Tammany tiger will yell!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;poor substitute is as handy to shoot, Or to run at the first "rebel yell."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;fish didn't bite, did he let out his spite By vetoing pensions a "spell?"
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We'll Rally to the Flag.  Words by the "Silver Chaplain."* Arr. by Ada Lozier Pettyjohn.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The bugle call is sounding, we'll rally once again,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. The "soldier's friends" are they, (if they wore the Rebel gray,)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Old Johnny Bull and Grover are yoked together now,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And we'll fight our old enemy oer. And the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the vetoes of Grover plainly show; For our
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To pull down the "fences" of Protection; But the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
"Boys" who wore the blue, to their Comrade will be true,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pension bills he killed, and with "Rebs" our places filled,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"sweating sons of the toil" their little scheme will spoil,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chaplain Lozier was the only surviving officer of the first National Encampment, G.A.R. present at the "Silver Anniversaries" at Decatur and Detroit in 1891.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We'll Rally to the Flag. Concluded
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we'll finish "Free Trade" and old Grover.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And he ordered back the flags that didn't go....
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By returning "Honest Ben" at next election!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Chorus.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we'll rally to the flag that down'd the Rebel rag, and then
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So we'll rally, etc.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For we'll rally, etc.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;down'd the "Old Bandanna;" And tried and trusty Ben will
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;take his seat again, And "that's what's the matter with Hanner."
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The "Premium" Marching Through Georgia. Affectionately inscribed to the N.Y. World. Key of B flat.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Bring along that Premium you offered for a song;--Something that would help to jog old Grover's cause along: Something that is "catchy" and "taking" too, and strong:--Something like "Marching through Georgia."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hurrah, hurrah, you want a jubilee, Hurrah, hurrah, John Bull and Tammany! Harrison is pushing you as lively as when he Proudly was marching through Georgia.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Here's a song that "catchy" in just about the way That Grover had a "catchy" spell on "Decoration day," While patriots were honoring the "Boys" who whipped the "Gray," While we were marching through Georgia. Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Yes, and it is "witty" too; but never once pretends To match the wit that Grover with a veto message blends. It "flashes" like those Rebel Flags we captured from his friends, While we were marching through Georgia. Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Send along that "Premium" as quick as you can do 't! And if our song in some respects should happen not to suit, We'll do as he and Adlai did, just "send a Substitute"--While we were marching through Georgia!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bye, Bye, Old Grover. Words by "The Chaplain." Tune--"Good-bye, my Lover, Good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The boat is coming around the bend! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye, She's crammed jamfull of Harrison men! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, what makes you sigh so? Bye, Grover, bye oh, good bye, Old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. She's nearing the White House every minute! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye. And frankly, old Grover, you are not not in it, Good-bye old Grover, good bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, how's ammany? oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. The name of that boat is "Tippecanoe," Good-bye, old Grover, good bye. She's staunch and trim, and she'll "get there," too! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye. Grover, bye oh, don't her wheels fly, though! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. There are lots of soldiers among the crew, Good-bye, Grover, they're after you! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.-- Bye, Grover, bye oh. If they would die, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. You love to veto the "Boys in Blue," Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye, But next November they'll veto you! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, Don't think we lie, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. You promised "Reform" in '84, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye, We've sampled your stock and we want no more! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, John Bull with cry, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. The kind of "Reform" you brought about, Good-bye, old Grover, good bye, Was the Rebels in and the Soldiers out, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, how's that for high, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. But not content with the blunders made, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye, You bob up again with your fool "Free Trade"! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, Farmers are shy, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye old Grover, Good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. So pack your "Veto" and "Free Trade" tools, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.  And go a fishing for "suckers" and fools, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, same to Adlai, oh! Salt River's nigh oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.

&lt;p&gt;The Veterans Hallelujah Chorus.  Air. -- "John Brown." Key of C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Fall in, Comrades, "rally once again!" What we won with bullets, our ballots will maintain; We'll "whoop it up" for Harrison from Oregon to Maine, As we go marching on!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Glory, glory hallelujah, shout the Loyal and the True, for The Eagle and the Flag downs the Rooster and the Rag, as we go marching on!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Sons join your fathers, of soldier blood you're proud: Mothers and daughters will help to swell the crowd; Songs and shouts for Harrison will echo long and loud, As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Farmers are with us, for they have brains to tell That closing manufactories cuts off their trade as well, The wages of the worker buy the "truck" they have to sell, As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Laborers are with us, from bench and forge and shop; For they must have Protection, or see their wages drop! If Europe "floods the markets," our Industries must stop! As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Men who won our victories, and men who "win" their bread, Men who feed the people, and people who are fed, Raise the shout for Harrison and "boom" him right ahead! As we go marching on!--Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stand, Patriot, Stand! Chaplain J.H. Lozier. Air: Old Boatman's Song. Arr. by Horace Lozier.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. 'Tis Free Trade here, and John Bull there, And Tamm'ny boodlers ev'rywhere. They
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Our grand Protection they reject, And say it never did protect, If
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. We'll shut and lock Protection's door And let the British Lion roar; He
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
want to put old Grover back And run Protection off the track.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that be true, we'd like to know What makes old John Bull bellow so?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;can't come in without the key, Called Jim Blaine's "Reciprocity."
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stand, Patriots. Stand. Concluded.  Refrain.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then stand Patriots, stand, Protect our glorious land. Stand
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then stand Patriots, stand, Protect our glorious land. No
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then stand Patriots, stand, Protect our glorious land. We'll
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
by the brave who fought to save The Union and our Banner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Queens or Kings or trusts or rings Shall rule this Yankee Nation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;win this mill with McKinley's bill, The next with Bill McKinley.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
High-ho! Here we go! To whoop it up for Harrison, *Reid and Co.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Note. In repeating the last measure, Glee Clubs in the several states may, if they choose, do as Grover and "General" Stevenson did, when the draft got after them.--put in substitutes for the names "Reid and Co." For example: in Illinois, make it "Private Joe." In Indianna, "Chase and Co." In Michigan, "Rich and Co." In Wisconsin, "Spooner and Co." In Nebraska, "Crounse and Co." In Kansas and New Hampshire, "Smith and Co." In Missouri, "Warner and Co." In Iowa, "Mc' and Co." In Minnesota, "Knute and Co.," In West Va., "Davis and Co." In Conn., "Merwin and Co." In Mass., "Haile and Co." Let McKinley's "Buckeyes" sing In O-H-I-O." And so on, East, West, and everywhere.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where Am I At? Words by Chaplain LOZIER. Arr. by H. G. LOZIER.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. We have some "Bourbon" congressmen, Who love to take a spree, and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. And when "Old Glory" was assailed By treason's maddened crew, Our
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. And when you met, ye war-scarred Braves, On Decoration Day, Upon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
when they make a speech they take A shade to much "cold tea." They
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Ben" was there to do and dare, Among the "Boys in Blue." But
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;on your fallen comrades' graves Your offerings to lay, Where
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
sweat and swagger, howl and brag, And sip and sip away, And
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grover and his "General," Where were they then? O, where? A
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;was that fat Ex-President, Who now for votes appeals? The
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where Am I At. Concluded
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;when they get to big a "jag" The stop and sagely say: --
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;training with the Copperheads Who fought us in the rear!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;soldiers say he went that day A fishing after eels!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Oh! "where am I at?" Can you tell? The Republicans know by the smell! But the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh! where were they at? You can tell! But their substitutes fought just as well. For a
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh! where was he at? Can you tell? While you mourn'd for the heroes fell? When the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
first democrat that you meet, ask him that, And the Tammany tiger will yell!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;poor substitute is as handy to shoot, Or to run at the first "rebel yell."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;fish didn't bite, did he let out his spite By vetoing pensions a "spell?"
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We'll Rally to the Flag.  Words by the "Silver Chaplain."* Arr. by Ada Lozier Pettyjohn.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The bugle call is sounding, we'll rally once again,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. The "soldier's friends" are they, (if they wore the Rebel gray,)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Old Johnny Bull and Grover are yoked together now,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And we'll fight our old enemy oer. And the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the vetoes of Grover plainly show; For our
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To pull down the "fences" of Protection; But the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
"Boys" who wore the blue, to their Comrade will be true,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pension bills he killed, and with "Rebs" our places filled,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"sweating sons of the toil" their little scheme will spoil,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chaplain Lozier was the only surviving officer of the first National Encampment, G.A.R. present at the "Silver Anniversaries" at Decatur and Detroit in 1891.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We'll Rally to the Flag. Concluded
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we'll finish "Free Trade" and old Grover.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And he ordered back the flags that didn't go....
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By returning "Honest Ben" at next election!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Chorus.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we'll rally to the flag that down'd the Rebel rag, and then
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So we'll rally, etc.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For we'll rally, etc.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;down'd the "Old Bandanna;" And tried and trusty Ben will
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;take his seat again, And "that's what's the matter with Hanner."
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The "Premium" Marching Through Georgia. Affectionately inscribed to the N.Y. World. Key of B flat.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Bring along that Premium you offered for a song;--Something that would help to jog old Grover's cause along: Something that is "catchy" and "taking" too, and strong:--Something like "Marching through Georgia."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hurrah, hurrah, you want a jubilee, Hurrah, hurrah, John Bull and Tammany! Harrison is pushing you as lively as when he Proudly was marching through Georgia.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Here's a song that "catchy" in just about the way That Grover had a "catchy" spell on "Decoration day," While patriots were honoring the "Boys" who whipped the "Gray," While we were marching through Georgia. Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Yes, and it is "witty" too; but never once pretends To match the wit that Grover with a veto message blends. It "flashes" like those Rebel Flags we captured from his friends, While we were marching through Georgia. Cho.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Send along that "Premium" as quick as you can do 't! And if our song in some respects should happen not to suit, We'll do as he and Adlai did, just "send a Substitute"--While we were marching through Georgia!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bye, Bye, Old Grover. Words by "The Chaplain." Tune--"Good-bye, my Lover, Good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The boat is coming around the bend! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye, She's crammed jamfull of Harrison men! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, what makes you sigh so? Bye, Grover, bye oh, good bye, Old Grover, good-bye.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, how's ammany? oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye. Grover, bye oh, don't her wheels fly, though! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. There are lots of soldiers among the crew, Good-bye, Grover, they're after you! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, John Bull with cry, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. The kind of "Reform" you brought about, Good-bye, old Grover, good bye, Was the Rebels in and the Soldiers out, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, how's that for high, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. But not content with the blunders made, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye, You bob up again with your fool "Free Trade"! Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, Farmers are shy, oh! Bye, Grover, bye oh, good-bye old Grover, Good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9. So pack your "Veto" and "Free Trade" tools, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.  And go a fishing for "suckers" and fools, Good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cho.--Bye, Grover, bye oh, same to Adlai, oh! Salt River's nigh oh, good-bye, old Grover, good-bye.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GEO. F. ROOT
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PIANO
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Yes, beloved ones at home remember Ah, how can the soldier forget? 
All the vows that were said when we part-ed Are 
sacred and dear to him yet. When the night throws its mantle a-
round us we dream neath the heav'n's starry dome; Of the
dear ones whose sweet spell has bound us, And whose voices shall welcome home.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Of the deeds that are hallowed in story, We
think as we press on our way; And the pathway that leads on to glo---ry, Gleams
bright-ly be-fore us to--day For the millions that wait on our
ef--forts, And myriads the future shall claim; When the
pe-ans of victory are sound--ing, Shall most joy-ful-ly ech-o each name.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Oh ye hearts that with anguish are swelling, Ye
eyes, that are darkened with fear, For the brave ones ye loved past the tell---ing The
fallen that sleep with us here, They have burst now the fetters that
bound them, And high mid the heav'n's brightest ray, E'en with
glories im-mor-tal a-round them, They are look-ing up-on us to-day.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AIR.
Yes, be-loved ones at home we, re-mem-ber. Ah, how can the soldier for-

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, be-loved one at home we, re-mem-ber. Ah, how can the soldier for-
get, All the vows that were said when we part-ed, Are sacred and dear to us yet.

BASE.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PIANO
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Yes, beloved ones at home remember Ah, how can the soldier forget? 
All the vows that were said when we part-ed Are 
sacred and dear to him yet. When the night throws its mantle a-
round us we dream neath the heav'n's starry dome; Of the
dear ones whose sweet spell has bound us, And whose voices shall welcome home.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Of the deeds that are hallowed in story, We
think as we press on our way; And the pathway that leads on to glo---ry, Gleams
bright-ly be-fore us to--day For the millions that wait on our
ef--forts, And myriads the future shall claim; When the
pe-ans of victory are sound--ing, Shall most joy-ful-ly ech-o each name.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Oh ye hearts that with anguish are swelling, Ye
eyes, that are darkened with fear, For the brave ones ye loved past the tell---ing The
fallen that sleep with us here, They have burst now the fetters that
bound them, And high mid the heav'n's brightest ray, E'en with
glories im-mor-tal a-round them, They are look-ing up-on us to-day.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AIR.
Yes, be-loved ones at home we, re-mem-ber. Ah, how can the soldier for-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ALTO.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TENOR.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, be-loved one at home we, re-mem-ber. Ah, how can the soldier for-
get, All the vows that were said when we part-ed, Are sacred and dear to us yet.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
BASE.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
can the soldier for-get that the vows when we parted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All the vows that were said when we part-ed, Are sacred and dear to us yet.

                <text>John Basil Turchin, controversial Union Civil War officer, was born Ivan Vasilyevich Turchaninov in Russia in 1822, and Americanized his name after he immigrated to the United States in 1856.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serving as a regimental, division, and brigade commander in the Army of the Ohio, Turchin's command was part of the Union force that occupied portions of northern Alabama in April 1862. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In May 1862, with his troops occupying Athens, Alabama, Turchin's men went on a rampage, destroying homes and businesses in the town, ostensibly in retaliation&amp;nbsp;for Confederate attacks in the area. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Sack of Athens" led to Turchin's court martial on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and neglect of duty. Although found guilty on all charges, Turchin had political supporters in Illinois, where he and his wife Nadine had lived as residents of Chicago before the war, who put pressure on the War Department to assist Turchin. Instead of being punished, Turchin was promoted to Brigadier General and eventually left the service in 1864. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the war, Turchin authored books on military history. He died in 1902.</text>

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;United States Flag Ship Hartford,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Above Port Hudson, April 23d 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have the Enemy in a tight place - he is on half rations at Port Hudson - his Arkansas troops one or two Regiments refused duty a day or two since saying that, "they would not remain there if they did not give them more food".  They have heard in some way that you intend to attack them by way of Manchac and have sent out troops  to meet yours.  They say that if I hold Red River as I am doing that they will have to evacuate Port Hudson - I have just caught and destroyed two of their boats that were used to cross provisions from the West bank to Bayou Sara,- we have been trying to catch these boats for some time - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They say they are anxious to get their large guns away from Port Hudson for fear of losing them
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;If I can only get coal up through the Atchafalaya I will accomplish all, but I do wish Gen. Grant would come along so that you could both attack the place and take it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a man direct from Fort DeRussy who says these are our guns on the Atchafalaya - Bute la Rose is abandoned - the 1 m gun of the "Indianola" and six other pieces are mounted at Fort DeRussy - but that will give us no trouble as it eighty miles up the Red River and the Black Town which Gen Grants forces are to come is not over forty miles from the mouth of Red River.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will tighten the cords around Port Hudson.  I will draw them tighter every. My informant says there are but a hundred and twenty five men at Fort De Russy and that it can be shelled at two miles without their being able to reply
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish to act with
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;you and I think that I am\or this ship is doing the most effective service here
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose Gen Banks is still in the field in the Opelousas Country - Wishing you every success in your undertakings I remain 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;D.G. Farragut
Rear Admiral
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maj: General
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C.C. Augur
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Comdg &amp;amp;c &amp;amp;c &amp;amp;c &amp;amp;c
Baton Rouge
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Please say to Gen Banks when you write him if the boats that passed Vicksburg prove to be Gun Boats I will have them at Alexandria by the time he reaches there if possible, but I fear they are Gen Ellet's Squad or Marine Brigade and carry no guns except those belonging to their field artillery, consequently I will have nothing to attack Fort De Russy, as I can not take my own ship up Red River

The Siege of Port Hudson took place between May 21 and July 9, 1863, corresponding with the Siege of Vicksburg. The Confederates surrendered at Port Hudson a few days after the fall of Vicksburg. The fall of Port Hudson ensured Union control of the Mississippi River.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have the Enemy in a tight place - he is on half rations at Port Hudson - his Arkansas troops one or two Regiments refused duty a day or two since saying that, "they would not remain there if they did not give them more food".  They have heard in some way that you intend to attack them by way of Manchac and have sent out troops  to meet yours.  They say that if I hold Red River as I am doing that they will have to evacuate Port Hudson - I have just caught and destroyed two of their boats that were used to cross provisions from the West bank to Bayou Sara,- we have been trying to catch these boats for some time - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They say they are anxious to get their large guns away from Port Hudson for fear of losing them
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;If I can only get coal up through the Atchafalaya I will accomplish all, but I do wish Gen. Grant would come along so that you could both attack the place and take it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a man direct from Fort DeRussy who says these are our guns on the Atchafalaya - Bute la Rose is abandoned - the 1 m gun of the "Indianola" and six other pieces are mounted at Fort DeRussy - but that will give us no trouble as it eighty miles up the Red River and the Black Town which Gen Grants forces are to come is not over forty miles from the mouth of Red River.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will tighten the cords around Port Hudson.  I will draw them tighter every. My informant says there are but a hundred and twenty five men at Fort De Russy and that it can be shelled at two miles without their being able to reply

                  <text>&lt;span&gt;Samuel Witwer grew up in Gary, Indiana before attending Dickinson College and then Harvard Law School. After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940&amp;rsquo;s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 &amp;ldquo;Gateway Amendment&amp;rdquo; passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He was a member of the Chicago Union League Club, which gave him an award in 1954 for civic service. The magazine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chicago&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;recognized him as one of the &amp;ldquo;five builders of Chicago&amp;rdquo; in 1954 and the Church Federation of Greater Chicago selected him as &amp;ldquo;one of three Chicago laymen of the year&amp;rdquo; in 1956. In 1969 the Citizens of Greater Chicago gave him their award of merit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Samuel Witwer Papers, 1946-1977 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/697.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images from events supporting the 1950 Gateway Amendment Campaign.&lt;/span&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;span&gt;Samuel Witwer grew up in Gary, Indiana before attending Dickinson College and then Harvard Law School. After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940&amp;rsquo;s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 &amp;ldquo;Gateway Amendment&amp;rdquo; passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He was a member of the Chicago Union League Club, which gave him an award in 1954 for civic service. The magazine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chicago&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;recognized him as one of the &amp;ldquo;five builders of Chicago&amp;rdquo; in 1954 and the Church Federation of Greater Chicago selected him as &amp;ldquo;one of three Chicago laymen of the year&amp;rdquo; in 1956. In 1969 the Citizens of Greater Chicago gave him their award of merit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Samuel Witwer Papers, 1946-1977 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/697.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images from events supporting the 1950 Gateway Amendment Campaign.&lt;/span&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;span&gt;Samuel Witwer grew up in Gary, Indiana before attending Dickinson College and then Harvard Law School. After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940&amp;rsquo;s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 &amp;ldquo;Gateway Amendment&amp;rdquo; passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations.

                  <text>&lt;span&gt;Samuel Witwer grew up in Gary, Indiana before attending Dickinson College and then Harvard Law School. After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940&amp;rsquo;s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 &amp;ldquo;Gateway Amendment&amp;rdquo; passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He was a member of the Chicago Union League Club, which gave him an award in 1954 for civic service. The magazine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chicago&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;recognized him as one of the &amp;ldquo;five builders of Chicago&amp;rdquo; in 1954 and the Church Federation of Greater Chicago selected him as &amp;ldquo;one of three Chicago laymen of the year&amp;rdquo; in 1956. In 1969 the Citizens of Greater Chicago gave him their award of merit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Samuel Witwer Papers, 1946-1977 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/697.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images from events supporting the 1950 Gateway Amendment Campaign.&lt;/span&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;span&gt;Samuel Witwer grew up in Gary, Indiana before attending Dickinson College and then Harvard Law School. After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940&amp;rsquo;s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 &amp;ldquo;Gateway Amendment&amp;rdquo; passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He was a member of the Chicago Union League Club, which gave him an award in 1954 for civic service. The magazine &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chicago&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;recognized him as one of the &amp;ldquo;five builders of Chicago&amp;rdquo; in 1954 and the Church Federation of Greater Chicago selected him as &amp;ldquo;one of three Chicago laymen of the year&amp;rdquo; in 1956. In 1969 the Citizens of Greater Chicago gave him their award of merit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Samuel Witwer Papers, 1946-1977 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/697.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images from events supporting the 1950 Gateway Amendment Campaign.&lt;/span&gt;</text>
