 Der fully 10000 came from the surround
 ing country.
 The president was enthusiastically re- ceived everywhere and was compelled to
 bow his acknowledgements to almost con- tinuous cheering. The weather was bright and fair. The feature of the day was the dedication of @ handsome monument in Washington square in honor of the soldiers and sailors of Monroe county who died in defense of the Union. The un- yelling address was delivered by Presi- dent Harrison. He said:
 MT. Chairman, comrades of the Grand Army and fellow citizens:
 Some internal conditions affecting my own strength admonish me that should speak to you this afternoon with great brevity. This great marching column, in which these veterans of the war have trod again to the old music and followed again, w fn1 hno rfc% %hn old qor~ &hok k1,- may do honor to those brave comrades who were called upon to make a greater sacrifice than we for the flag we dearly love, these squadrons, platoons and com panies of the children of your public and parochial schools, marching to the music of drum and fife and bugle, and the cheering multitude, the great open hearted expression which we saw as we moved along your sstreets. all testify to the fact that our constitution, our laws and that glorious flag that symbolizes them surely set upon a granite foundation. If we fail, comrades, to meet any action of peril which might be in the pathway of this nation it seems to me that the trundlebeds of the country would furnish it's defend CTS. War is not attractive to our people No, our people are smitten with love for peace. It took great deal to separate these home-loving, peaceful people from their homes. But when the moment came and the dreaded war was a present fact, with what magnificent sacrifice, with what untiring fidelity every family tie and every commercial interest was put be- meath the supreme duty to save the nation and redeem the flag. Out of this war we have won manner of respect that would not have otherwise been possible. We brought into full participation of the glories of the Union those who had sought to destroy it, and it gladdens my heart now to believe that the love of the old flag is revived in the southern states. No yoke upon the defeated, the conquered, except that yoke which we wore, comrades, when we resumed our place as citizens. The ob- ligation to obey all laws was 8 condition of the peaceful citizenship. We lay no not burden our people to maintain standing armies. No nation in the world is able to wage war on land with the United States, and when the generous work upon which we have entered of completing, equipping and manning suitable navy is carried out, no nation in the world will be hasty to engage us upon the sea.
