tabula county, with imposing ceremonies.
speeches were made by Gen. Garfield, Congress
and Others. Gen. Garflelds speech, as reported
in shorthand for the Cleveland Herald, was as
follows: "FellCw-c w-citizens:-TheSe gentlemen
had no right to print on paper here that was
to make speech for the types ought always
to tell the truth and they have not done 1t In
this case. But l cannot look out upon great
audience In Ashtabula county, recognizing so
many old faces and old friends without at least
making my bow to them and saying Good bye
before go. cannot either hear such speech
as that to which have just listened without
people who enabled him to make it, for
after all, no man can make speech alone. l.
is the great human power that strikes up from
a thousand minds that acts upon him and
makes the speech. It originates With those
outside OF him If he makes one at ALL (and every
man that has stood on this platform Today has
had speech made out OF him by you. and by
what is yonder on your square) That is
the way speeches are made, and if 1 had time to
stay here long enough these forces with you
might make one out CT me. Ideas are the only
thing in this universe that are immortal. Some
people think that soldiers are chiefly renowned
for courage. That is one OF the cheapest and
commonest qualities. We share 1t with the
m utes. can find you dogs and bears and lions
that will fight and fight to the death and will
tear each other. Do you call that warfare?
They are as courageous as any OF the soldiers,
II mere brute courage is what yoI are after.
The difference between them and us is
this: Tigers never hold reunions to celebrate
their victories. When they have eaten the
creature they have killed that is the only re.
monuments over their slain comrades. Why?
Because there are no ideas behind their war
fare. Our race has ideas, and because ideas are
immortal mort a they So, be true we build
for there is nothing in all the earth that you
and can do for the dead. They are past our
help and past our praise. We can
to them no Immortality. They do
not need us. but forever and forevermore we
need them. The glory that trailed In the clouds
its benediction upon us who are living, and it is
TO commemorate the immortality OF the ideas
for which they fought that you assemble to day
and dedicate your monument which points no
toward the God who leads them In the i giory OF Of
the great world beyond. And around those ideas
under the leadership OF the immortality of those
ideas, We assemble reverently, to follow rev.
and the benediction they left behind them.
That Is the meaning OF an assembly like this
and to join In it and to meet you, my old neigh
bors and constituents, to share with you The
memories that we have heard rehearSed and
the Inspiration that this day points TO, that this
monument celebrates, is to me joy, and for 1t
pleasure end to give you the pleasure Of hear
Ing few words from some distinguished gen.
tlemen who are on this platform. I would mad

delighted to hear, word from the descendant
OF that great Ohio man that we so hOnOred 4J

Gen. Garfield said: "Fellow citizens, / cannot
talk much to you this morning, but want to
say to you that am glad to see that here In
Batavia you are early risers. 1t is early rising
that has made US what we are as people, and
1t is early rising that will carry the November
election. Fell0w-citkens. thank you for your
hearty welcome"
Gen. Harrison, who spoke next, was patned
to disagree with Gen. Garfield on the subject OF
early rising for he was not in favor Of the prac-
tice. He told the story OF Webster's disgust at
the worm who got up In time to be nabbed by
the early bird, and proceeded to state his Iea-
sons for believing that Garfield would be elected
In November. Hon. G. Orth. OF Indiana, fol-
lowed, but was cut of by the moving away OF
the train.
