Governor WooD in brief and appropriate address
returned his sincere thanks the hospitality which had
been rendered him by the citizens of indianapolis,
through their Mayor We regret not being able to give
the Governors remarks in full We, however, give the
following as the substance Of his response:
He said that he had until this visit been but
within few miles Of the borders of Indiana, and that
he had taken the present occasion absent himself from
his duties Executive of Ohio to accept an invitation
from the worthy Chief Magistrate of Indiana, to visit
her Capital What he had of Indiana on the Ohio
river and that portion which lies between this city and
the river, had been sufficient index Of her prosperity
and told the Of her greatness Indiana though
young State, held an envable position in conlede-
racy. Her known and their Influence felt both
home and abroad From the quiet and orderly dispo-
stion of her people, strangers led behave that
her institutions of the best character. His own
State, Ohio, could not but regard the prosperity Of her
younger sister with the greatest solicude The inter-
est of Indiana the interest of Ohio. They were
both formed out of the great North Western Territory
and established under the Ordinance of 1897 which had
much to do in fixing the character Of the institutions OF
both.
He said that though both States were now enjoying an
eminent degree Of prosperity, much of which they owed
their State Government, yet it could not be denied
that without the aid Of that Conederacy which united
with sister States in a bond OF Union neither
could sustain the high position which they had attained
He then adverted to the present state Of affairs existing
at the North and South. He had abiding confidence
the safety of glorious Union and believed that the
descendants Of the Henys the Marons and the Sumpers
the South would mite with the childrens children Of
revolutionary fathers at the North in giving perma
nency to National Urion
During the delivery of his address the Governor was
repeatedly interrupted by the cheering Of the crowd
prompted by its appreciation of his patriotic remarks
Three cheers then given for the Governor of Ohio
after which he escorted carriage when the pro-
cession moved off towards the city, enivened by the
strains of sweet music from the Bond.
On arriving at the Wright House, the Governor and
suite escorted to their rooms and the procession
