THE MONUMENT WAS UNVEILED
with Imposing ceremonies. General
Reynolds made short Introductory
address, President Hin OF Rochester
University delivered an orntlon,
Samuel H.. Lowe read poem, and
President Harrison and Governor
Flower each made nddfe,sca.
Tho President In his address said Ia
Jnrl: War s not attractive 10 our
people. We have not many Of that
class " men OF whom we sometimes
heard during the war. who would
rather fight than eat. He had one OF
that class In his regiment. and he got
into adi,ch In the first engagement.
II took great deal ~ separate home
loving, peaceful people from their
homes, but when the moment came
aud dreadful war was present, with
what magnificent srlf.deuial, with
what alacrity was every family tie
and every commercial Interest put
benesth the supreme duty Of TO save
! the nation and redeem tho flag from
dishonor. tApplnusc.l
out OF this war we brought that
mutual respect that would not other
wlse have been possible. Some Of us
fancied the Southern people were
given 10 Napofing and that each OF
them was equal to Ave Northern
soldiers, hut tho South learned
that Paul Revere still rode
the Highways Of Massachusetts,,
and that the man Of Concord stu
ploughei his fields. Aud we, ON our
part, learned that the spirit Of
chivalry which was found In the
Southern army was combined with
the reserve and steadiastness OF
Cr0mwelps Ironsides. l am sure no
war ever waged In history before our
civil war brought equal blessings to
victory and TO vanquished. We
brought into full participation In the
ories Of the restored Union those who
nad mlstakingly sought TO destroy II.
IL gladdens my heart now to believe
that the love OF the old nag Is 30 re-
yiyed In these Southern hearts that
they would vie with martial ardor TO
be In the front Of the charge should We
ever bs called 10 meet n common
enemy lGreat APPLAUSE A glorious
victory, no yoke upon the defeated
except that yoke which we wore, com.
radcH, when We resumed our place rs
citizens, obligation to obey the Con.
stitution anu all tho laws made In
pursuance of Il NJ n condition OF
peaceful citizenship. We are happy
In our great National Isolation. No
nation In the world II able
10 wage war on our soil
with tho United States. [El!
thusiastlc applause. And when the
glorious w0rg upon which We
nave entered Of building, squipping
aud manning a Suitable navy II com.
plcted, no nation In the world will be-
hnsly to engage us uron the sea. We
are now entering Into competition
with the great nations OF the world Ia
the markets Of the world. We do not
push our trade with bayoneis or by
sublugatlon of helpless people; We push
It only upon the basis u friendliness
aud mutual trade advantage, holding
up the dignity and honor OF our cOun-

(Applause.) United we will enter up.

God's care the generation that Is to
take from our lips these lessons Of

What they did who can tell, who can
