proach, and at the same time ordered the
police TO allow them to do so. There were
shouts Of approval, and cheer was given
for the governor. President Harrison then
advanced TO the front, and bowling to the
governor spoke as follows.
FELLOW CIrIzEasI am very glad to have
been introduced 70 you upon this occasiou Of
my visit 20 the capital Of the Empire state bv
the Hon. David B. Hill lis governor, aud hav-
ing but few moments to speak am grntifed
that the distinguished governor who preceded
me invited the assemblngo 30 come nearer tho
stand BY the wise wiAdrawal q public guar
dianship you are enabled to come closer and hear
the few words which have to speak I have
received with satisfaction the cordial wolcom-
ing words Of tho governor OF this great state
II Is very gratifying for me as a citizen and
officeholder Of the United States II Is pleas
ure for me 20 come and say that all matters Of
difference which may have ever existed in the
different parts Of the country have been oblit
Grated and all the people united in a common
brotherhood. This Empire state has great
wealth and resources that reach out all over the
, country.
There has been in the past time when tho
cry was raised against New YORK being
acting creditor. These narrow views win not
prevail in an enterprising neighborhood or
I where the states are united la brotherhood.
! As the government is pledged 10 maintain the
money at different powers for every 100 cents
on q dollar, whether paper or coin. coin stamped
| being good any other dollar, we should
/ avoid the experience Of a southern country.
( When a nation has an irredeemable currency
then the men from your shops who turn out
Z the supplies and the farmers have the greatest
interest in receiving 100 cents on a dollar. We
have this year an extraordinary agricultural
/ crop. This crop viii be worth a billion Of dol
I lars over that Of last year. Then we find that
/ the government Of Russia has prohibited the
7 expectation Of rye France and Germany will
Z absorb every bushel Of wheat now on hand Ia
those countries. Whatever complaints there
( may have been ia the past, this year thcre win
be a smile over every agricuturist's face OF the
| country. The granRries OF the country are un-
able 10 hold the grain and this viii bring back
/ the lost gold OF past years. We should be
4 happy people, for all conditions are favorable
I and order should prevail aud above all there
should be patriotism and an adherence 10 con
stituti0n and love.
The rain had begun to fall as the presi-
dent ceased talking. AS he descended to his
carriage the people, despite the efforts Of
the police, rushed toward him, grabbed
his hands, waving their hats and hand
kerchiefs. He was then driven TO his car
and departed at $40 p. m.
