Governor HiH, Mr. Mayor, and feUoss-citizev:
receive with great qualification the very cordial
expression which has fallen from the lips of his
exeellency, the governor of this great state and
his honor, the mayor of this great
municipality. 1t Is very gratifying to
me to be thus assured. As American citi-
gems, as public officers administering each
different function in connection with the gov
eminent OF the nation, the state and the mtIni-
eipality, we, in common with this great body of
citizens whose servants we are all, have had
common respect for those who have been ap-
pointed or by constitutional methods have been
chosen 70 administer them, which on such an
occasion as this entirely obliterates all differ
ences and brings US together in the great and
enduring brotherhood of American citizens
You have concentrated here great wealth and
great productive capacity for increased wealth;
great financial institutions that reach out in
their influences and effects over the whole land

There has sometimes been in some regions of the

President Harrison then referred to the
recent Russian ukase and the scarcity of
grain in France and England. saving that
all this country's surplus would find a
ready market abroad, and that not only
would the gold heretofore deported be re-
