on every hand. To the old veterans he
said he was more pleased than he could
express to see SO many of them present
and hoped many years might yet crown
the brave defenders of the Union.
The president further said: who can
look upon this vast array of soldiers who
fought to a victorious contamination for
the United States without bowling his
head and his heart in grateful reverence?
Applause. Who can look upon these
sons of veterans springing from a patrI-
otto ancestry full of the spirit of 'Gl and
coming into the vigor and strength of
manhood to take up the burdens that we
must soon lay down, and who. turning
from these to the sweet faced children
whose hands are filed with flowers and
flags. can fail to feel these institutions of
liberty are secure for generations at least?
Cheering
The future is safe if VIC are but true to
ourselves, true to these children whose
instruction is committed to us. There is
no other foe that can at all obstruct or
hinder our onward progress except tsea-
son 10 our midst, treachery TO the great
principle OF our government wbish is
obedience to the law. The law-the will
of the majority expressed in orderly con-
stitulional methods, is The only king 10
which we bow, [cheersl but to 1t all
must bow. Let it be understood in all
communities that no selfish interest OF in
%dividuals, however intrenched, shall be
permitted to assert their convenience
against the law. This is good doctrine
and If it can prevail in the Union until
every man under the law in his own right
is compelled by the law to yield to every
other man his rights, nothing can shake
our reposc. Cheers.
There is some grumbling in Kansas
and think it is because your advantages
are too great. Laughter. A single year
Of disappointment in agricultural returns
should not make you despair Of the fut-
ure or tempt you to unsafe expedients.
Life is made up of averages and | think
yours will show a good average. Let US
look forward with hopes, with courage,
fidelity. thrift, patience, good neighbor-
" hearts and patriotic love for the flag.
Kansas and her people have an assured
and happy future" Prolonged cheers.
