The entire report of The committee was
adopted without difficulty, excepting tnat
portion fixing the number OF men Whlcn

Harmonic hail, which was largely attended
and heartily enjoyed by all present, as was
evidenced by the frequent and fervent out,
bursts of applause. Mayor Winston opened
the exercises. After the usual welcome. he
spoke in substance as follows:
You are the descendants OF the men VINO
have made this the fist country on the
globe. They have given us this ideal govern
ment. Let us cherish it as the dearest legacy
that can be left to mortal man. 1t is our
duty to protect and preserve it at any
cost. 1t has once been preserved
through a long and terrible conflict, and
while was on the side of the South at that
time. / rejoice with you for its preservation.
And with me are the mass of those who live
in the South. As far as this nation is con
cerned, there is no longer North or South.
His welcome was responded to by Com
mander-in-Chief Leland j. Webb, who eX-
tended to the mayor and citizens of Mime
apolis the thanks of an organization four
and half times as large as the standing
army of the United States.
He said: II am glad TO stand on the plat
form with one who fought on the other side
twenty-five years ago. The sentiments eX-
pressed by him are the principles OF the Sons
of Veterans, and am glad he SAID what he did.
for he has denied the imputation that our
organization is keeping alive the animosities
of the war. The Sons of Veterans have other
principles. We believe in honoring
our dead heroes. We are willing
decorate the graves of their dead heroes, but
when they unyeil monuments down there we
want them to keep within the bounds of rea
son."
