other night for place so far OH, it is the
nearest SPOT on earth, Now, ladies and gentle

storm these ranks here tonight with speech.

speech upon our country and upon the principle

5000 miles opened like the wonders that are
spread out in the Arabian Nights" what can
do here on this solemn occasion? But let me
say TO you we have been here to your State
and on our way out we ind
BLOT on THE FLAG IN SALT LAKE CITY,
And we get here we ind pagan' in your streets
that ought not to be here but all these ur-
comfortable things will some day be washed of
the old flag, and we shall say, as we said to the
Southern men, " We have no place for the flag
of secession" We have no place for the flag OF
the Communist. We have no place for the flag
of the Nthilist; and we have no place here for
a pagan flag And wish to say, that as we
leave you, we leave with full hearts, CRATE
ful for the many taTors, for the kindnesses
you have showered upon US, thankful for your
generous hospitality. I have been all over the
places and highly entertained but in all my
life never saw anything to approach this
in grandeur and hospitality, and when we go
away we Will say of al the places where people
entertain, of all the places and beautiful scenes
have seen IN my life, Sacramento is at the
head
