lives IN the hearts of his people, and is
called his country's father. You, too,
sir, when your two terms were over,
obeyed that part of your cOuntry's un-
written tradition hallowed by the i'm
mortal example OF. Washington, and you
too retired, and you, sir, live and will
live forever in your countrymen's hearts
Sir, in the name of Chicago and its peo-
pie, prophesy that when time shall have
grown old, when the page of history
shall become dim by the side of the great
eXemplar who has gone before, VOur
name and statue Will he placed by the
side of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson
and the immortal Lincoln, and forever
will live the name OF Grant" The speech
was applauded heartily.
General Grant, in reply, said: MIR.
Mayor and gentlemen OF the committee
of reception of Chicago. gentlemen of
Chicago and Illinois: | feel very much
honored by the welcome which | am re-
ceiving At your hands to-day; / feel
highly honored by the pledge of welcome
which has been uttered by your worthy
mayor, which is something so personal
to myself that it would hardly be in good
taste for me 10 respond to the language
of it. 1t leaves, therefore, nothing for
me to do but TO convey my thanks to
these committees of citizens of this city
for the hearty reception which they have
given me. TO one allusion of nv recep-
ton abroad / say, in never a case did |
feel it was other than a tribute to our
own country. l will add further, that our
country stands differently abroad in the es-
timation of European and eastern nations
from what il did a quarter of Il century
ago. An American citizen is regarded
IaRsn Il q
citizen of Il quarter ola century ago. AT
that time il was believed we had no
nation; that il was merely Il confedera-
ton of states held together with a rope
of sand, and would give way under the
slightest pressure. They have found this
was grand mistake. They know
that we are nation of strong, intelli-
gent and brave people, capable of judg-
ing and knowing our rights, and deter
mined on all occasions to maintain them
against either domestic or foreign foes
and it is the reception you as nation
have received through me while abroad"
