WELCOME.
Welcomed Welcome! Welcome! This
is all the three speeche, amounted TO.
Each. however, had i,s striking charac-
teristic. Mr.. Lore thrilled his audience
with truo life scenes of heroism unto
death In saving the lives of others. Ho
then artisticaily and skilifully employed
The ecienco of otjec teaching and fasten-
cd the vivid attention of his audience
upon that veritable locomotive cab Of
tho model upon the frcnt Of this stage,
while he put into it hero after hero
WHITTIER he got all the apparently
Thousands Of locomotive engineer heroes
of America into IL "depouent saith not"
But one thing is sure, he put q coucen-
trstion of the moral force OF herois,n
into the minds and hearts of his hearers
not easily to be forgotten. So Mr.. Lore
welcomed tho International Brotherhood
because tley arc heroes.
Mr.. Massey welcomed them because
they are railroad men. He pronounced
an emphatic eulogy OF grand latitude
, upon railroad men generally. That was
| right ior the attorney Of the delaware
Railroad of the r., w. & u. Co. 1t was
not IN tue least lacking in cordial greet
ing, sincere welcoming and true hoepi-
taiity. Mr.. Massey has n peculiar style
as he rounds oil each rhetorical period
with tho effect Of climax, Of slightly tip
ping his head forward aud unconsciously
sni Ing. In effect this asks the Ques-
ton: Was not that well doIei Yes, Mr..
Massey, you, by virtue OF your tall,
erect figure, rather shtill, but clear aud
powerful voice, and your ponderous
| logic, did well every timo you smiled,
which was several. You probably got
that habit when you was q younger ora

your rising career has worn away from

welcomed tle Brotbe hood, whom you
treated we'll, and may you Ecver have to
fire. that ghost Of s,oile against them In
tho couit room.
They much prefer to artitrate than to
meet such forces ns you exhib tod. May
you beat your sword iuto proper imple-
ments to partake OF refreshments again
and again continuously at their expense
And may the "Lion aud the lamb" Cor
