COLONEL DUDLEY's RESPONSE.


A temporary stand had been erected beside
the monument, and upon this Governor Porter
and Ex-Governor Baker, the latter holding a
brightIooking boy by the hand, mounted Ad-
dressing the concourse of people that filed the
Circle, Governor Baker said: 1.-THE duty has
been devoved upon me of unwilling the statue
1 have taken the right to delegate that duty to
another presenting the little boy, nine years
old, the son of John NJ Morton, of San Fran
cisco, who is the eldest son of Senator Morton)

statesman"
The two large American flags fell apart as
Oliver P. Morton severed the thread, disclosing
the bronze efhgy of the great warGovernor the
patriot and statesman. The band as the flags
fell apart struck up Hail Columbia Rev
David Walk then delivered the following prayer
and benediction, completing the ceremonies of
the day:
REV. MIR. WALKS BENEDICTIoN.
Oh Lerd, Our God, we thank Thee for what
our eyes have seen and for what our ears have
heard this day We thank Thee thou didst put
it into te hearts of the people of Indiana to
this monument to commemorate the life Of her
most distinguished son. Not that he needed it,
but that we need it. His monument is in the
hearts of the people. His fame is impershable
We thank Thee, o Lord our God, that in the
critical hour of our nations peril Thou should
have raised up this man to be a leader of the
people. We thank Thee that when treason me-
naced the life of the nation Thou didst lay Thy
hand upon Oliver p. Morton and that Thou didst
work through his wisdom and courage for the
salvation of our beloved country May this
monument stand here for centuries the mute ex-
preston of the patriotism which rescued our i'm
periled national inheritance from the hand
OF the spoiler. May the impressive
lesson of this day not fail in its influence upon
the young of this generation. May they rightly
interpret its signifeance-that love of country
and of liberty and human progress and fidelity to
the sacred trusts cannot fail TO have their re
ward. Now, unto Him that is able to keep you
from stumbling, and to set you before the
presence of His glory without blelnsh, in exceed
ing joy, to the only God, our Savior, through
Jesus Christ, our Lord, be glory, majesty, do
minion and power, now and forever Amen.

Other Addresses.

After the subsistence of the long continued APP
plause that followed Colonel Thompson's add
dress, there were urgent calls for Senator Harri-
son, who reluctantly came forward. He was
greeted with round after round of applause, and
spoke as follows:
SENATOR HARRIsONs REMARKS.
Fellow-citizens-The are two reasons why
should not speak to you to-day. One belongs to
you, the other to me- 1t is not fitting that
should hold you from the exercises that remain
that | should hold you here till the shades of
evening shall obscure the outline of the loved
Governors face which you you are. vet to look
upon. Nor is it fitting that should put any ex-
temporary remarks of mine in contrast with the
finished eulogy to which we have Just listened
from the lips of the silver-tOngued orator of In
diana. Applause. 1t cannot be inappropri-
ate, however, that l should suggest to you this
thought that has been in my mind here to-day
1t is that we should build in indianapolis another
monument, to be IA companion piece of that which
Is to be unveiled to-day; that we should here set
up stone which will keep fit company with
that bronze statue which we are soon to I'M
veil. An impersOnal statue, upon whose
base no name shall be written; upon whose sum
nit shall stand the typical soldier of the Union.
Applause. In one of the Southern States they
have built, i'll a beautiful cemetery monument
to commemorate the confederate dead. A sol
der stands upon shaft with his gun reversed
and his head bowed over his musket Not thus
will we typify the soldier of Indiana. Cries of
mo, no" He shall stand with head erect, with
arms at a shoulder, fifty IMPLYING the victory he
won. As L have said, we will write name
upon the stone. but the sons and daughters of

as they stand at the base of that monument,
may speak of their own dead and be able to say,
THAT is his monument" [Great applause
Colonel w. w. Dudley being loudly called
for, spoke as follows:
COLONEL DUDLEY's RESPONSE.
Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen-I know
you will excuse my adding anything or attempt
ing to add anything, to that which has been said
here to-day. Nothing can say will add to the
eloquent words of our friend, Colonel Thompson,
or the fitting words Of General Harrison. | am
glad to be here to take part with you in this
memorial. hope, as has been said by General
Harrison, that another monument, a remem-
brance of the soldiers of Indiana who fell on
many battle-felds, will soon be erected.
Cheers
When Colonel Dudley took his seat, the audi
ence filed out of the Opera-house and proceeded
to Circle park, where the monument was to be
unveiled.
