SPEECH OF THE GERMAN MINISTER.
The Baron, in responding, said that he saw
before him intertwined the flags of America
and Germany in a more perfect union than ever
before. There was a time when this was not
expected, but since the year 1865 a radical
change has taken place, the people of the Uni
TED States now being ready to recognize the
power of united Germany. The game of dip
lOmacy had been played so well by the repre-
sentative men that good feeling had sprung
MP between the people of the two nations. In
former years many Germans had been COM
PEELED, from force of circumstances to take mn
their abode in this country; but now most OF
them came from choice, and were well satisfied
with the result In conclusion, he said then LET
Us. under the azure of an American armament
fondly recollecting our beloved fatherland, give
three hearty cheers.fOr this noble land the nur-
sery OF progressive ideas and eternal liberty and
for all German homes on this as well as the other
side OF the Atlantic Phe Baron was frequently
applauded during his speech.
