Harrison and Several Others in
Brief OratiOns.
BENNINGTON. Vt. Aug. 19.-At the
banquet President Harrison was called
upon 70 speak and did so. In part, he
said:
There is much in this occasion that IS fun
of instruction 70 the strangers who by your
hOsDiIable mention have privilege OF meet
Ing with YOU. New England character has
been source OF strength 10 the nation IN its
development III material things. The cour-
age Of those VINO fought aE bennington aU
Concord. Lexington. Bunker Hill and Sara
tOga was born Of a high trust in God. They
were men who. fearing God, had naught else
TO fear.
Ido not believe there has been time in
our history when there has been deeper
fOnder love for the unity OF the states, Tor
the flag that emblemauZes this unity and TOR
the constitution which cements It, believe
our people are prepared now 10 insist
that the American nag snail again De
seen upon the sea ana that Onr
merchants and manufacturers are ready
TO seize the golden opportunity that
is now offered for extending our com
merCe into the states OF Central ana SCUM
America. / believe that conservative views
of finance Will prevail N lh1S country. / am
sure ditCOutent and temporary distress VIII
not tempt our people TO tOrsake those safe
lines OF public administration IN which com
merciaI security alone rests As long as
the central government furnishes the
money Of the people for their
great business transactions. 1 be-
Eeve we viii insist. as 1 have said before,
that every dollar issued. whether paper or
coin shall be as good and be kept as good as
anv other dollar that issues.
Nav l. in closing. tender to these good
women of Vermont my thanks for the grace
and sweetness which their services and their
presence have lent to this happy occasion.
Ia M % % "a
queen OF the New England home. There in
those nurseries Of virtue and truth have
been found the strongest influences that
have moulded your people for good and led
your sons TO honor
AS he stopped. Mr.. Harrison was pre-.
sented with a gold medal cOmmemOra-
tive of the occasion. Gov. Russell next
spoke in behalf of Massachusetts. and
Gov. Tuttle for New Hampshire. Gen.
Howard spoke with breezy humOr for
New York state. Gen. Russell A.
Alger. of Michigan. devoted the greater
part Of his speech to eulOgy OF the
women of Vermont. The only diff
Guilty about raising monument IN their
honor, said Gen. Alger, IS that the skies
are not high enough.
Hon. Redfield Proctor. secretary of
war. received great reception when he
was presented. His remarks were very
/ brief and largely IacetlOuS- Attorney
General Miller was also called up, and
said he had been most intensely inter-
ested IN the days exercises. As to the
/ readiness with which the Hessians sur
rendered. it was his idea that almost
anybody would surrender before taking
the chance of making MOllie Stark and
other gOOd-lOOkiug women widows. At
ter leaving the banquet the president
was driven directly to the home OF Gen.
Mccullough. in North Bennington,
where he was entertained at dinner.
The president will spend the night at
Gen. McCullOugh'S home and will leave
here at 9 O'Clock tomorrow morning for
I Mount McGregOr.
