Address of the Austrian Deputation.
CITIZEN GOVERNOR The Austrian emf
grafton. whom YOU here see assembled, has appoint
ed me 10 the honorable duty OF greeting you and Did
ding you welcome in the land of freedom
The greeting we offer you is not merely the eX-
preston OF a verbose and vacant sympathy. Its
manifestation is not intended to display our modest
and retired position in the sunlight OF your virtues
and your fame. No our deep reverence is given
10 the man whose eventful life has been dedicated
TO freedom and the happiness Of the people who, IN
the modest function OF journalist well as III the
ALI powerful Office OF a legal chief magistrate IN
the narrow dungeon cells OF Buda as well as IN the
broad halls Of Parliament, opened to him by the
people in the cheerful apartments OF the lnstItu
lion for orphans and little children well as on the
wide practlc al field Of national industry IN unhappy
exile in the distant East as we'll as on the free soil
of this Western World, has STILL thought, strlven
and suffered for the idea of truth, of right of human
ty, for the idea of freedom. Our greeting is given
70 the leader and comrade who, with u.s. has fought
AGAINST the same tyranny and defended the same
freedom. Our applause is paid TO the genius OF the
man whose inspiring word has infamed us to deeds
whose courage and resolute endurance strengthened
in the combat, and whose present triumphal
march through the world is the premonitor OF the
coming victory and trumphal march OF freedom, and
hlls us with fresh hope and new life.
f.nt
memorable speech of March ., 1918, YOU proclaimed
the solidarity OF the peoples OF AUSTRIA when you
declared IN the Diet House that Hungary would hot
have assumed It's freedom tll the remaining nations
Of Austria had shaken of the yoke OF aosoutism ana
eplOye the same freedom nom that moment was
the union concluded between the democracy OF Aus,
tria and Hungary We announced It to the world
m the shout of rejoicing which welcomed you To
Vienna on March IS We have sealed II with the
blood Of our martyrs, RouKRT BLUM, MEssENHAu-
SIR, BECKER JELiINEK, and OF other worthy men
we sealed IL with the heroic death OF the vienna, a
legion in Hungary and Pennsylvania and In this sol
emn moment we renew and conhrIn II again and
again.
Our number rs now small and inconsiderable butth
Immediate future VIII show that II is empty word
when assure you that millions OF trusting hearts
In Austria bless tins union, and that in the hour OF
insunecton and the resurrection OF freedom, Ger
mans, Poles, Czechs Southern Sclavons, and all the
other natlonaes of Austria Will set upon the COM
mon banner OF the revolution the notices League
with the noble Hungarans league with ali nations
struggling for Freedom"
This idea OF the mutual pfolectlOn ana universal
solidarity OF nations is already the standard of the
Hungarian Democracy II is Ihe banner which you,
Citizen Governor, have brought glorously from the
old world into The new, and which YOU VIII carry
back 10 the old home strengthened by the sympathy
and efficient support Of this Tree and mighty Repuo
he Yes, this banner will have Its riumphal march
nom the shores OF the Adrlatlc TO the emancpated
strand OF the Baltic, and from the old Lwlnger OF
Engelsberg to the modern to OF the city of the
CzaIs Will announce to the world that The last bat
tie has been fought the last enemy annhilated and
Al. ..f of FNfl
OF humanity, and of the happiness OF the people.
II painful that the path which leads 10 this lofty
aim must be rough, dangerous ana marked by streams
OF blood and fire, for We cannot conceal from our
selves the fact that the next struggle must be long
and bloody ore, that the victory must be bought
with the lives and happiness OF many men, and that
not many OF those who Ike YOU have devoted them
selves to the service of freedom, VIII be able TO re-
Jolce IN the blessings of that victory.
We know all this very well we confess that rev0-
luton, with all ITS inevitable accessories fanatic Al
persecution and terToTlstc measures, is "A hateful
Thing But oy the bitter experience OF the last years
we are hrmly assured OF the absolute necessity of
the revolution, and We are uRalterably convinced
thai only thar unninC hing energy which does not
hesitate 20 adopt all the consequences of the reyou
ton, and 10 shrink from no necessary measure can
lead to rapid and secure triumph. This energetic
action is necessary 10 the success OF the revolu
ton as lightning 10 the publication OF the AIR, as the
knife TO the consuming cancer as the blow of de-
stnlction is 10 ~ar and As death is TO life Better
the acute procedure of popular justice than the
subtle chronic poison o. the now existing monarch
cal terrorism.
WHY did we fail Why have hundreds Of our
friends and brothers persisted by wn prison and the
hand of the executoner Why have you, Citizen
Governor, with difficulty saved your own mere life
from treas on in your own ranks why have You
been compelled 10 languiSh for years III dungeon
hike exile,-in short, why are you now here lhe
answer is well known 10 you. IL IS because, WIN
open eyes, with good'naiured confidence, We
thought that BY sparing wrongs thousand years
old We should osarm the ueachery, the perjury, and
the bloodthuStlness Of the aniiQuated House Of
uapsburg. Ii IS because we were content win a
mere portion OF freedom, where We had night TO Il
all IL is because We used moderation where the
and the crimes OF the peoples enemies exceeded
AL bounds, and because we employed halt measures
where only perfect energy could be efficient. We
suffered Meuernich and his compeers 10 depart IN
peace while despotlsm pursued us with hired aSSas-
sans and dlShonoIaole letters of arrest We rlsked
our livtsto save those OF our enemies from the Just
anger of the people, while the house OF Hapsburg
committed the punishment Of our comrades from the
gallows 10 powder anu lead. In the midst OF the
battle inscribed everywhere, Property Is sacred
and the House of HapsbuTg robbed plundered and
confscated the property of defenSeiesS widows and
infant children. On the 18th Of May, We had the
Emperor and his palace IN our hands We coRnied
M his promises and endesvored 10 support his blood
cropping throne with democratic Institutions the
House OF HGpsburg has burnt cities and villages and
has declared that II seeks for support only IN the
gsllows, the bayonet and muTderons courts martial
The revolution proclaimed all men free and en-
lowed with equal rights. The Magyar offered 20
he SlavoD, the Croat, the German the honest hand
y brother. The house of HapsouTg soTS dis ord
nd ueacbey, opposes the various nations aa1
lasses ia hostility against each other. begs and
rouches before the Car that It may bear RUE II
ONE with blood and murder. such was the fsyo-
nemles
A ~ no ANAL galn fIom the removal of our l.lu.
