Harrison in 1872 know how many hurried to join the
army of the brave Taylor who battles mperishabe
in fame the plains Of Mexico, also although the
last and the least Of your Generals have had the valuable
aid Of your valiant citizens in many hardught fields of
battle.
recoect also, fellow-citizens that stand in the
town of Dayton, the junction of the Mad and Miami
rivers know that your district has been represented
in the councils ofthe nation by my particular friends
by Judge Crane whom knew member Of Congress
and in private life; by Mr. Schenck representing
us in foreign country and lastly, by another valued
friend, Hiram Bell These some Of the recolections
which render Dayton interesting to Although am
not able to recognise any familiar scenes indeed

stand here in Dayton small village when last beheld
it, and great centre Of civilization and wealth. II
by any catastrophe all the other cities of country
were blotted out from this place would radate nteli
gence and civilization enough to light up the whole West
My friends you could not well have heard the voice OF
the venerable gentleman who has addressed your
behalf But there several topics brought to my re-
collection by his remarks to which desire to allude
He spoke Of the untanished faith of the State Of Ohio
Allow to relate briefly aneedote which that aluson
has recalled my mind and it is the first time have
mentioned the circumstance. Not one among you

and in that way accidentally contributed little to

confirmation of what your orator has spokente people
of Ohio have gloousy redeemed any little pledges in be-
half of their State.
The General then dwet upon the kindness he had ex-

of Dayton eoquently for the honor they had bestowed
