otto fellOw-citizens of Rochester in the OBJ
servance of the day which has been conse-
Grated to the memory of men who died
that the Nation might live. | am glad TO
believe that there is not to be found any,

lean citizen. whatever his relation to that
great struggle may have been. who will not
sympathizo with and cordially give his in
terest TO this annual observance.
You are citizens of q great state, great
In every material resource, especially great
In combination of products which make u
people self-contained and complete;a per-
haps no State in the Union combines more
largely a productive soil with mineral
wealth as the State of Pennsylvania. Jap

In great lines of manufactures, and you
are happy in the possession of ~ most in

degree. enter into this feeling, for the

never ceased to mourn. was a Pennsylva-
Man. Applause. And / vet feel that all
these things are subordinate to that greater
interest and that greater citizenship which
you share with the citizens of all the

PLY united us as one people,. Applause.
We are glad TO know that the war which
re-established the supremacy of the Constl-
tuition and brought back the starry flag
in undimned honor to the hands that had
sent it to be borne in battle. brought also
into unfettered participation in all the priv
ileges and GlOrlee of the country, even to
those who had fought against 1t. ZAP.

entering upon q greater development as a
nation. that We are now pushing TO IA place
of influence and Importance among the ma
tons OF the earth. that we are now about
TO conquer In the markets and In the COM

look into the kindly faces of my fellOw-cit-
liens and feelthat we are not far apart, that
We have common purposes and aim and
that each IN his own place. as God gives to
sea the right and strength TO do. is working
try and for the peace and good order of its

you upon all these evidences OF prosperity
that are about you. i congratulate you
that our granaries are full and that we
have been able out of our surplus to send
preston of the common brotherhood of

leys. If there Is now and then, by the Wis.,
Itation of flood or drought. loss or suffering.
We are so great in the beneficience and
hearts of our people and spread over our
land that the lack is soon filled. w should be
thankful. and for all things which are good
and orderly We ought to stand. have but
one voice as Your President. and but one

expressions and manifestations Ii is the
only rule under which mau can safely live
together In communities. ] thank you for
