MIR. BAYARD AT PULLMAN.
His Eloquent Address in the Town of tt

His Eloquent Address In the Town of the
Great Car Builder on Saturday.
The guests of the Iroquois club in Chicago
were on Saturday taken on an excursion
out to the town OF Pullman. Before the
whistle summoned the company to return
Senator Bayard, who had spent the greater
part of the morning in company with the
accomplished architect of the town, Mr..
Beaman, in visiting the residences of the
people, was invited by Mr.. Doane to say a
few words.
''Nothing," said Senator Bayard, "ever
happens but the unG nGxpected. / think 1t was
Sydney Smith who said that wit was
the discovery of the unexpected re-
semblances between different things. 1
| do not know why, in thinking over the more
than interesting experiences of this morning
| in this place l am reminded of play which
once saw called used Up In this play a
jaded and pampered child of luxury, Sir
| Charles Coldstream, commits all kinds of
| follies, gets into all kinds of scrapes, ex-
poses himself to danger of all kinds in hopes
/ of experiencing a sensation. In the most
/ terrible circumstances he is constantly put
| ting his finger on his wrist to see whether
his pulse has been quickened. l think If
| that spoiled child of fortune could
have been with us to-day he would
| irdeed have experienced sensa-
whose skill and ability have done SO
much to create the marvels we see around
us, but whom will not name out of respect
| for his modesty, have this morning visited
many houses in this most wonderful town.
| l have been more interested, confess, to sec
how the people of Pullman live than to look
upon the wonders created by their work +,
and am sure that l utter the feelings of
| all who hear me now when l say that
i
| Interesting, more beautiful, than the
practical respect for the rights and dignity
of human nature shown by the able and en-
| terprising founder of this town, in all the
plans arranged and carried out by him for
| the benefit of the people who inhabit It,.
Wealth, energy, prosperity cannot make
men; 1t is men who make wealth, energy
and prosperity. We have abolished titles of
nobility in America, but | thank God we
have not abolished noble men; and what a
lesson does this place teach us of faith fin
the principles of Thomas Jefferson, whom
we heard SO much and justly eulogized last
night-or shall l say this morning? In this
place we see Thomas Jefferson's respect for
man-his reliance upon the ability of man
as man, If you will but let him alone, to
create success and happiness for
himself practically eXemplified and
carried out by Mr.. George Pullman. Nc
statutes have created this town, no ordi-
nances of the city of Chicago, no laws of the
State of Illinois, no act of Congress. It ID
the work of one mans faith in the dignity
of human nature, In kindness, justice and
honorable dealing between man and man
1t is triumph of American principle in pol
itics carried out in American practical life. ,
I Senator Bayard, who spoke with grea
feeling, and was most yehemently applauded
proposed the health of Mr.. Pullman, which
was drunk with enthusiasm, and afterward
the guests returned to Chicago delighted
with their visit
