Daily Republican., 1880-08-11

New York was marked with unabatet
enthusiasm along the route. His shor
speeches are models Of nsatness and re
plete with wisdom and patriotism. Her,
Is a sample, from his rem arks at Por
Jarvis
On the right, over these hills, is I
stone placed TO mark the spot where
the three States touch each other. These
three States, each representing local in
terests and associations, are worthy Of
your thought but l would point the
young men Of your town to the stone
which represents the Union. Zap.
plause.] l would point it out to them
as a symbol Of that larger union Of OH
people and States-that grand system
of supreme government-and would
teach them to reverence it. [ Applause
That would be my first lesson to the
young men. Then l would take them
to the other side Of your railroad to the
little hamlet not far away, which was
pointed out to me as the spot where in
the last century De Witt Clinton was
born. ["Aye, ave." and applause. ]
A man whose life was baptized in the
spirit Of the Union and helped to build
up Its glory, q man who illustrated
the nobility Of labor by building up
the great system Of canals that has
done SO much for the Empire State.
Show to your children the Union and
De Witt Clinton, and teach them that
with the Union and free labor we are Q
nation that can stand worthily before
the world. [Applsuse.]
AT CORY.
"Fellow-citizens should be des-
titute Of all proper feeling If l did not
recognize so cordial and generous a
greeting as this. This, your speaker
tells me, is Rrie county, and he has
properly called this the Keystone State.
Any man in the world might be proud
to be the citizen Of such Q State.
But after all, great as Pennsylvania
is, she is not great enough for all the
possibilities Of an American citizen. 1t
is still greater thing to be citizen Of
the whole Republic, and feel that you
have rights in it wherever the flag
floats, from the gulf to the lakes, and
from ocean to ocean, Its all our ooun-
try, your country, my country, redeem
ed by the valor Of our people, made
by the patriotism Of our
fathers and those who are with us on
earth.
l thank you fellow.citizens for this
demonstration, and congratulate you
upon the beni6cence and blessings that
our country gives as ALL"
Fellow citizens IL am so near the
borders Of my old district that l feel
very much at home with you. As /
have been passing through your town,
two thoughts have struck me which re-
called something to my mind. When
I was in Paris at the Exposition Of
1867, among all the wonderful sights
that greeted me there, nothing i'm
pressed me so much as two little build
iBgs outside the great Exposition build
ing in the enclosure. One Of them was
an American school house, furnished
with all the appliances of education !;
the other was an American farm house,
plain cheap and comfortable, that some
American had put up on
French ground. An exhibitor in charge
told visitors, among whom were crown
ed heads and people Of Europe, that in
our country, on every aection Of land,
there is a school house like this, that
bvery child can 60 to without cost, and
every man who will 90 to our Western
can, for about $500, build him
self q farm house like that, and the
gives him the farm. Zap
plause. Come to our country, said
be, and with your own labor you can
make a home, and the nation to which
you come will give you the land tor
your home and educate your children
Tree. [Applause.l
These were two sights that greeted
ne. Inside the building l saw the
that was exhibited at the
Worlds Fair, the glory Of American
and l said these three
Kings constitute the material, intellec-
usl and domestic glory Of our people.
Now, when l come into your town, l
ee your venerable college looking
Town upon us.
1t is the representative Of one Of these
IDEAS. l look upon your shops and see
Iour industry representing another,
md l see your homes scattered all
round us, SO that you have the trinity
# forces that help to make US a great
lation and you an intelligent and pros
,erous people. Applause. ] With these
thoughts l thank you, fellow-citizens,
or this great welcome. (Applause.]
