Arrived at the park, they all meandered
about into the erhouses, through the
trees, ETC., until about midday when, gath.
ering into and about the pavilion, they
were addressed by General Cabell, "Old
Tlge," Colonel Charles Fred Tucker, and
Colonel J. @ Chenoweth. General Cabell
- rnla
compared their present political status to
that of the American colonists before their
revolutionary war, and urged that the
cause of Erin was almost identical with
that of the patriots who resisted George
III. His remarks were warmly applauded
throughout. Colonel Tucker then arose in
the order of ceremonies and read the
Declaration of Independence, having first
preliminated the reading by some very
well-timed observations, pertinent to the
day and the occasion. The reading was in
n clear, distinct, well modulated voice, and
was listened to most attentively by the au-
tience.
Colonel Chenoweth was then presented by
General Cabell, and he proceeded in his
own happy and animated style to explain
the cause of the woes and griey-
ances that now inhict unhappy Erin.
Referring to the ills and expressions wh ch
were heaped upon our own foreiathers who
had fled from persecution to this side the
waters, he drew vivid parallel between
them and the wronged and famished peo-
pie who were now struggling against such
fearful odds in the cause of human liberty.
British landlordism that claimed the Irish
soil as they had done the American, was
not permitting proper channel in the
race Of life to the Celtic blood to assert its
independence and its actual requirements
These Taxpayers did not know at what
moment they might have the roofs and
doors, by Ratchet and crowbar, removed
from their houses, or how soon themselves
and families would be starving for
the bread necessary to sustain them
He insisted that the doctrines and princi-
pies that nerved the arms of the heroes OF
1776 in this land of the brave and home of
the free were Of the same nature us those
now'clamored for by the Irish people. He
said that "the harp that once through
Tara's halls" had sung so sweetly now gave
out only sounds of woe, and that the vibra-
tons were being heard upon the wings of
every air in the civilized globe, and were
begetting pulsations of sympathy in every
heart that loved liberty and throbbed for
human rights. He paid high compliments
to Davitt, Parnell and the other Irish pa
triots whose eloquent voices would soon
drown the DEGREES Of tyranny, and whose
manly, yet earnest conservatism should and
would put to the blush the crimson clash
Of British bayonets. For years OF
time the sentiments they uttered
and the efforts they made would live as
green in the memories of Irish hearts and
be kept as much q part of the national love
AS the emblematic shamrock is natural
and beloved product of the irish soil. He
thought that the cause of the Land League

understood to meet the appreciation
and the support of every individual
that respected the rights and free
dom OF human beings like ourselves
His grafton, from commencement to close
was listened to with the closest attention
and was frequently interrupted by burst:
of applause.
1nterspersed between the addresses was
appropriate music, national airs etc
The stage was decorated with evergreens
