The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-08-09

Secuon-tnat our fathers were SpartanS
and our mothers heroic. In the late
internecine difficulties, the South might
have been mistaken, but he
was not called upon to make
the statement. He complimented
several Northern generals, and re-
marked that, while we honor our side,
let us pay tribute to the other side as q
signet tina. the war is over. He offered
feeling tribute to the Confederate
dead, stating that they died for duty's
sake. He complimented the ladies and
gave them much praise for their self
sacrificing devotion, assistance and en-
conragement to the "Lost Cause.n He
admonished the younger portion
good n cheer, auatSnCa to rise % above 00 petsg
prejudices and never to be hospital |
stragglers. He closed with brilliant
peroration, in which the ladies were the |
central figure. GOV. Hubbard's address |
was q brilliant one. His oratory is mas.
terly, as the majority of our readers well |
know. The above report is only glance |
at his effort. His address was inter-
spersed with numerous anecdotes
throughout, and he can relate them
more pleasantly than the great majority
| of our modern orators.
CHRISTENING.
Following Gov. Hubbard's address
was an etfecting incident. 1t was tile
solemn and touching ceremony Of Chris
tening little Grace Rector Mitchell, the
one year of age and prettily enjoyed the
ceremony. She was supported by Gen.
Cabell, and Gen. Lewis, of Waxahachie,
eloquently proclaimed the young lady
the pet of the sturdy veterans.
COL. ]. q. CHENowETH,
of Bonham, was next introduced to
the audience by Gen. Cabell rs the
"silver tongued" orator of North
Texas. He delivered one of the most
brilliant efforts that the reunion has
been favored with. OF admirable
physique and commanding appearance,
with fine oratorical powers and faultless
verbage, he at once commanded and
held the attention of his audience from
the beginning. The utmost attention
was paid him, and after the conclusion
; of his address, men and women
fondly congratulated. The reporter
feels that he would do Col. Chen0weth
; an injustice if he attempted to report
I his admirable speech from his notes
0 snatched "by the wayside." Col. Chen.
0 oweth represented the Kentuckians
= and most ably did he discharge the trust
GEN. WAuI..
= The General was introduced by Mayol
!, Cabell. He paid tribute to Dallas f,l
n generosities. He argued that though
$ the Southern cause had tailed

n which animated the Southern forces wer
y noble and patriotic. Defeated as the,
/. were, he thought it the duty of ever,
" Southern man to lend his aid to the main
le tainance of the Federal constitution. Ii
