Mr.. MAYOR AND FELLOW CITIzENs:-I
am glad to meet you. l was told that my
presence was especially desired to-day be-
cause there is to be a celebration of tie ad-
mission of this great State into the Union.
1t occurred to me, that instead of being
| called upon as a speaker, / could expect to
| be entertained with something of the his
tory of the State; however, any one in
structed in the history of our country is
expected to know something of the history
Of California. I find, though, that I am
30 expected to speak. l am not sorry for
this. 1t has been said that a man who
| does not have much regard for his
ancestors. will not be likely to have
much for posterity. Though this State is
rather young to talk much of ancestors,
yet / am glad to see it commemorating
Pioneers. / am glad to join with you in
this Pioneer celebration of the admission
Of California to the Union. The President
then referred to the fratei nal feeling OF
the people in the East for the people of
this State. He continued: They expect
you to build an empire here that shall
dominate the Of the Pacific.
I doubt not that you will meet their ex-
pectations. The President spoke OF how
most Of the families had a son or daughter
in California. and the consequent interest
taken in the State. He also referred to
the prosperity existing and enjoyed by a
great portion OF this country, and hoped
that we would come into that prosperity
which is now blessing the rest Of America.

Sherman was introduced and made some
pleasant remarks, referring to his own
California experience.

the reception, and speaking of his expe-
rience in Minnesota, n concluding in an
