great national reunion, encouragement has

Ii il the desire of those associated with me
in the administration to do something dur
ing our term OF service to advance. We do
not, in meeting the people, propose to dis
cuss any of the great party questions which
divide the people who honor us with their
attention.
The question of administrative and econ
omical questions we leave these TO be dis
cussed before the people by those WHO may
be appointed by the respective parties to
carry on these debates, but We do feel that
if in visiting our fellow-citizens in the dit
ferent states, We can add anything to
strengthen the sentiment alluded TO by the
Mayor, it is right and proper that we should
do it [applausel. All who are familiar with
the history of our country, know that a
hundred wears ago there was no north nor
south. The fathers were one throughout
the country.
