PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
Patriotic Address of the Chief Executive o,
the Occasion.

| IS1riotfc AuoresS OF the Chief Executive on
the Occasion.
The following is President Harrison,s re-
| Spouse to Mayor Stuart's address of well
come:
| Mayor, Comrades of the Grand ARMY of the Re.
public and Fellow-Citizens:
esteem 1t great pleasure to stand in
TINS historic editice, in this historic city, to
take part to-day as comrades of the Grand
Army OF the Republic in these most inter-
esting and instructive exercises, which have
been instituted to keep alive in our hearts
the memories of patriotic devotion to sacri-
flee. 1T is eminently appropriate that we
should stand for little time before we go
to the graves of our dead in this edifice,
where the foundation of the declaration of
Independence and of civil government were
made, and put into that course of develop
ment which has brought our nation to its
present position, prosperity and influence
among the nations of the earth. 1 have re-
Gently, in an extended trip been able to see
what that flower is that was planted here.
We see here in Philadelphia community
instituted upon
THE PRINCIPLES OF PEACE
and good will among men, and yet in a COM
munlty that has given a conspicuous Illus
tration of the fact that the fruits of peace
may sometimes be made to be defended nv
the valor of soldiers. You did not at all de-
part from the great lessons which were
taught by the founders of this great colony
when, uniting with your comrades from all
states, you went out into the field to hold
up this banner, to maintain peace, which
should be perpetual and pervading in all
states. Obedience to law is the first ele-
ment Of domestic peace and social order
This you vent out to maintain and that has
been established, as believe, again in the
affections of all eur people, and has settled
perpetually the question OF loyal submission
to the constitution and law in all states. 1t
has been settled to the great contentment
and happiness of all our people, and brought
what in any other nation it could not have
brought
PROSPERITY TO EVERY SECTION
and every state. appreciate most highly |
this generous welcome which you extend to |
me and shall take part in the exercises of |
the day with s. sense of their fitness and of |
the great events of which they commemor- |
ate. l have never been able to think of |
the day as one of mourning. 1 have never |
been quite able to feel that the half mast |
flags We're appreciated on decoration day. |
l have never felt that the flag should be at |
the peak, because those whose deaths we |
commemorate, rejoice in seeing it where
their valor placed it. We honor them in
Joyous, thankful, triumphant commemora-
ton of what they did, we mourn for them
as comrades from whom we have departed.
but we feel that the glory of their death
the glory of their observation-disclosures all
our great loss and has set them in an i'm.
perishable roll Of honor.

HON. j. s. WISE
Speaks AZ the Tomb of U. S. Grant-A Man
Who Lives in the History of the World,


New YORK, May 30-The following, in
part, is the speech delivered by Hon. j. s.
Wise at Grants tomb:
Commander Comrades, Ladies and Gentlemen:
AS the Eastern worshipper, before he
enters the precincts of the holy place,
diveSts himself of his worl-day garments
lest they profane it with their grossness. so
should we leave behind US the passions and
preJudlces of our daily lives as we ap-
proach the tombs of the mighty dead of
our republic. These are the shrines of Amer
lean patriotism; at them, above all other
places, are we moved to reflection on the
blessing We enjoy and inspired to rever-
ence and patriotism toward the government
under which we live.
In this tomb lies one whose great quail
ties of head and heart, whose bravery.
whose simplicity, whose magnanimity,
whose patience, whose steadfastness Of
purpose, whose loyalty to every obligation,
whose capacity for administration in the
highest offices in the world, mill
tary and civic, and one among the
most remarkable men who have ever
lived. The theater of his career was ONLY
the United States of America The most
dramatic episodes of his life were in his
character as leader of one of the armies of
ms divided people. Yet even on that narrow
field and under those restricting conditions
he so bore himself that
THE WHOLE WORLD
watched him, and when his work was nearly
finished proclaimed him to be of the
stamp of true greatness rarely ever
developed, and greatness blended
with such qualities of manhood that en-
titled him to be held up as an example to
the world. Many there be, who, after their
lives have been hard struggle, are cast at
the final account mass of mediocrity.
Few there be who earn only the honors
which the republics bestow after death
"a tomb, a monument to preserve
their names as examples. To the |
memory OF such, their equal fellow |
citizens In life, our people being such,
the tribute of love and tenderness and rev.
erence, as vassal never felt for the master,
death leaves US nothing but their great |
ness. His life and character are known |
to the farth@t bounds of fame, and in the |
wide V'orid there is not one man of Celtic /
Or Anglo-Saxon blood who is not proud to /
boast himself Of that strain of humanity l
which produced this great captain of Union /
men. They will model their character |
upon this idea when we are dead and for |
gotten by the memory of his indomitable |
pluck. His column will surge forward to |
desperate assault and in centuries to come, |
will be stronger by emulatiug his |
end urance and fortitude, war will be less /
brutal, victory less arrogont, defeat less /
bitter and human nature more gentle by 1
The conspicuousness Of his moderation, his
uaRnaninity. his kindness . his foes nand ]
