| PRESIDENT uAYES'S SPEECH.
Now there are two leading ideas, two
| important things To he accomplished. We
| want all sections to have equal rights Zap
plause) and We want all citizens To have
equal rights before the law. We want the
| government to regard alike and equal all
I sections of the country We want the gov
| ernmcnts, national and state, to regard
alike and equal all citizens oi all races.
| New these are things 10 be accomplished
The mode. the measures, the pathway, VIC
may differ about, but. my fellow citizens, ii

/
to say few things to all audiences that
honor me with their attention which hope
are calculated to increase their desire that
all in this country in all sections shall have

| Now my friends, the particular purpose OF
| 1t all l. to bring back to the country
| the ancient harmony, the ancient
concord, and the reasons for it
are numerous. But must Eot dctain You
any longer with the detail OF them. Part
OF them are material, and part ot them
We may call, perhaps, .cntment. lpok at

to know how large Tennessee Is, ya.y from

average it. and call II four hundred aud fifty
miles from the eastern To the western end Ot

its territorial extent as PenD>y wanna or
