of his family to the city. Continuing. he said:
"But / receive no surrender of a city worn

longs the higher, greater honor of receiving
the surrender of your friendship. It is dear
to me, and welcome, how welcome cannot
find words to tell" (Mr. Harrison's words
had been frequently interrupted by hearty
appIause.) 'T take that applause not so

said. Then there was anot1er hearty out

was stopped by the applause.
Referring to the late Mr.. Grady, he said:

he did not approve of the plan to allow
Sardler to escape punishment. The presi-
