the 2th inst they gave the lie to all their professions
by quietly allowing that Greeuback champion, Albert
O. Davis 10 take possession Of their mass CONVENTION,
aud 10 UiciAte ls the setteI-up Ot Quantities and

In ali age approaching civilization, IL is
amazing tn at the one complete aud perfect
man, the one within whose heart all races
live and in whose brain was stored the fruit
of all thought past, the seeds of all to be, was
%he ny e beow the eos uss
and the half-fed footman OF the lowest squire.
And yet 10 him all hearts were open as the
His mind was like sea to which ali rivers
ran, and from which now the realms OF
thought receive the dew and rain In the
found expression. While throne and altar
forged and fastened chains, the poor slave
heard upon the stage the actor curse the in
justice of the world, AM. wept with joy TO see,
even ia a play, the captive free In all the
other walks OF life, TOgues, hypOcrites and
towards oft succeed, but on the stage applause
loving, brave and true, or give to pubic SCORE
the very heart of vice. And now the actor
takes his place among the benefactors of man
kind. Heininge and Condell, in their dedica-
ton of the folio of 1923, speak of Shakespeares
WORKS as "these trifles." Yet "these trifies"
will ouLlive the pyramids and their dust
They will be remembered long as most
things will be forgotten. Edwin Booth ha.
elevated and refined the stage. he has recog-
nized the sacredness of art He has become
illustrious as an interpreter of "these trifes,"
and IL should satisfy his ambition to know
that to and with the speech of Shakes
peare his name and memory will be linked
and mi ged forever Thanking you once
more, again regrettiDg nay inability 10 be with
you, and hoping the E1gllsh will honor Mr..
Booth as much as he has us, remain sincerely
