ssMR. MAYoR,AN FELLow CITIZENS: /
am again surprised by this large out
pouring of my friends, and by the
respectful interest which they evince. 1
cannot find words to express the delight
which have felt, and which those who
journey with me have felt, as we have
observed the beauty, and more than all,
the comfort and prosperity which char
acterize the great state of California. l
am glad to observe here, as have else-
where, that my old comrades of the
great war for the union, have turned out
to witness afresh by this demonstration
their love for the flag and their yenera-
tion for American institutions.
My comrades, / greet you every
fhss evsrs ogas has
here Of that great army that subdued
the rebellion and brought home the flag
in triumph. hope that you have found
in this fowery and prosperous land, in
the happy homes which you have built
up here, in the wives and children that
grace your fireside, a sweet contrast to
those times OF peril and hardship which
YOU experienced in the army, and I
trust above all that under these genial
and kindly influences you still maintain
that devotion to our institutions, and
are teaching it to the children that shall
take your places. We often speak of the
children following in the footsteps of
their fathers. A year ago, nearly, in
Boston, at the review of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, after those thou
sands of veterans, stricken with
years and labor, had passed along,
great army, nearly as large, came on
with the swinging step that character
lied you when you carried the flag from
your home to the field. They were the
sons of veterans, literally marching in
their fathers steps, and so l love to
think that in the hands of this genera
tion that is coming on to take our places,
our institutions are safe, and the honor
and glory of the flag will be maintained.
We may quietly 60 to our rest when God
shall call us, in the full assurance that
His favoring providence will follow us,
and that in your children valor and
sacrifice for the flag will always mani
fest themselves on every occasion. Again
thanking you for your presence and
friendly interest, l must beg you to ex-
cuse further speeches, as we must
Journey on to other scenes like this
