My Fellow Citizens: As we came
along this morning upon the banks of
this beautiful river, l suggested TO a
gentleman vino sat beside me, that it
seemed to be pity that it had not been
made little narrower and a little
deeper. Laughter. And he replied to
me with great deal of force that the
Creator did not make everything for
commercial use. Some things are made
for beauty: some things are made for
the
Developments of Sentiment.
There is nothing so strong. nothing
so beautiful. as those things in nature
and in human life that lave to do with
the heart and its aspirations. There is
nothing so satisfying in American life
as that great sentiment which emOalmS
a flag in the love and affections of a
people, and makes them bow in reverent
submission and honor before the con-
stitutiOn and law which they have Or
dained for their own government. APP
Dlause7. 1t is mos. delightful, as l pass
through the country upon these
visits, TO look into the faces
of these kindly American citizens
who have no mtereStin the government,
except that it shall be administered for
the general good, and who give their
hearts, and are willing 10 give their
lives. for the honor OF the fag and the
perpetuity of our institutions. Cheers.
Allow me 10 thank you again, and to
leave with You who dwell in this pleas
ant city. by the banks of this beautiful
river, my most sincere personal good
wishes that in every home represented
here there may be peace, purity, pros
perits and the love Of God. CHEERS

and Gen. Harrison made a vigorous,
patriotic speech in response to demands
of the crowd to hear from him. He said
in part: We have left for few hours
the duties devolved upon us in Wash
ington to take part with our patriotic
fellow citizens of Rochester in the OBJ
servance of that day which has been
eonseerated to the memory of men
VINO died that the nation might live. l
am glad to believe that there is not to
be found anywhere in this land any
American citizen, whatever his rela-
ton to that great struggle may have
been, who will n0T sympathiZe with and
cordially give his interest to this annual
observance.
We are glad to know that the war
which re-estaDiiShed tie supremacy OF
the constitution brought into unfettered
participation iii all the glorieS Of the
country even those who fought
against the flag. Applause. l be-
lieve that we are now entering
upon a greater development as a
nation; that we are now pushing to a
high place of influence and importance
among the nations OF the earth; that we
are now about to conquer in the mar
kets and i'll the commerce of the world
a place we have never held before; and
l invoke the earnest and hearty coop
Grafton Of my fellow citizens in these
great plans. Applause.
Citizens Close Together
The presidential train made short
stop at Troy, Pa, and the president re-
sponded to calls for a speech as follows:
My friends: l like to get out of
Washington once iii while, and like to
look ND these hillSideS and valleys,
these fields and shops in which the i'll
dustry and enterprise of our people are
working out individual prosperity and
natural wealth, but above all
these things l like to look
ITO the kindly faces of my
fellow citizens and feel that we are not
far apart; that we have common pur-
poses and aims. and that each in his
own place as God gives to see the right
and strength to do. is working for the
development and glory of our country
and the good order of its communities.
TApplauSe. l congratulate you that
our granarles are full, and that we have
been able out of our surplus to send
food to the starving in other lands as an
expression of the common brotherhood
of man. [ApplauSr.l
