AT THE HORTICULTURAL GARDENS.
1t was about o'clock when the process
sion arrived at the Horticultural Gardens,
which were beautifully decorated at all
points with flags and flowers From that
time until a late hour in the afternoon,
crowds continued to pour in, and
the famous Horticultural was, per
haps, never so completely filed.
Assembled in knots were ladies and
gentlemen enjoying themselves in hun
dred ways, some by swinging, others in
listening to the sweet music which the
three brass bands dIscoursed to them; but
by far the most popular enjoyment was
drinking the national beverage of the Fa-
derland. At half past two o'clock, Mr..
Charles Nelson, President of the day, made
a short address, congrstulating the large
assemblsge upon the return of peace and
the unifcstion of Germany. He then in
troduced John Ro!fs, a grenadier, who
marched a victor into Paris in 1915, who
was received with shouts. After him, Mr..
Jeup, formerly of Ohio, but now of Law
renceburg Tenn, was introduced, who
delivered quite an able address, which was
( eluently interrupted by applause. He
spoke substantially as follows:
Mr.. Jeup in his remarks gave a detailed
history Of the contes between France and
Germany for the last hundred years, and
showed the great wrongs that had been
done by Napoleon l to the German nation
He then spoke Of the trivial causes of the
last war, how Napoleon had forced the
struggle upon the German people, and al
luded to the brilliant dispatches which en-
ansted from the ruler of France to show
that his pretensions were large but his
performance small, as shown by the result
of the struggle. He believed that the uni
fication of the German States would ulti-
mately lead to liberty. and that science and
art, and progress, and civilization would
receive a new impulse by that unity and
peace that we this day celebrate, and closed
by congratulsting his hearers that over
FIVE millions of Germans in the United
States we're this day celebrating the victo-
ries achieved by their kindred in the
Fatherland. His speech was in the Ger
man language, and fully appreciated and
spplsuded by the large crowd who listened
to it.
Then Gov. Foote followed, whose ad-
dress was calculated to do much good. The
following are the leading points Of his
speech:
When l had the honor, few days since,
of being invited to attend this meeting, ap-
proving warmly of the objects proposed to
be attained by it, did not hesitate to
promise that l would be present, with no
intention, though, of being more than a
very modest participant in such proceed
ings as might occur. knew that other
gentlemen ere expected to take the lead
in such discussions as should arise, to
whose addresses expected to listen with
the highest satisfaction. l propose now
to occupy the attention of the audience
for very brief space in slluding to topics,
a full exposition of which might we'll I'll
volumes.
Every good man must rejoice over that
cessation of hostilities which has recently
taken place in Europe, and the termina-
ton of the bloody and exhausting war
which had been for several months going
on, and which seemed at one time TO me-
mace the most widespread and deplorsble
mischief to all the noblest interests of
civilization. To my mind it is PROPOSE
ton equally plain, that every truly en-
lightened friend of human progress, and
Of the peace and freedom of mankind,
must rejoics that, as one of the
incidental results of an unjust and
war commenced SO rashly and
criminally by the late Emperor of the
French upon the Kingdom and people of
Prussia, q most suspicious and long wished
for union has been brought about between
something like forty millions of intelligent,
energetic, sulidly endowed members of the
time honored 1eutoDic stock, located In
