Grafton of men who have emblaxoned the
pages of history and freedom for all time
to come; who have set the example for re-
publican France, for united Germany and
reconstructed Italy, and who have broad
ened and deepened the foundations of the
English constitution and of Anglo-Saxon
liberty.
Of this great army of liberty, whether
they have passed away or are still present
for duty, you are the honored representa-
lives.
The president would speak to you as q
comrade. It lie for me to greet you in be-
half of business interests affecting the
welfare of the whole people, in behalf of
trade and commerce, of the husbandman
and artisan. of the employer and the en-
ployed, in behalf of all men and women
from every section who love the Union.
bid you welcome in behalf of the presi-
dent and his cabinet advisers, In behalf of
the congress of the United States and the
national judiciary, administering collect
lively the government you have assured,
and In behalf of whole people, made H.
luetrious by your heroism and that Of your
adversaries, now your friends.
I greet you In behalf of . stalwart north
and loyal south, of sun-illumined east
and commanding west, under the shadows
of the capitol you have preserved in this
beautiful city founded by Washington and
made sacred by the services and sacrifices
of Lincoln, and in full view of Virginia,
the birthplace of presidents and the burial
place of heroes.
Your march to day and tomorrow will
recall to you, as 1t will to us, the great re-
view when Grant ranged himself by the
side of the president of the United States,
when Meade saluted for the veterans of
the east and Sherman for those of the west,
and when the light that fell upon the dome
of the capitol was flashed back from the
sword of Sheridan. There are brilliant il
1ustrations of your powress still leading
your ranks or among them, and wish that
could summon them all, but the glories
of the battle names recall them with vivid
personality. - 45 -
In the order of time this may not be your
last grand view, but express the hope of
grateful people that heaven will bounte-
ously lengthen out your lives before you
are called to the other shore to rejoin the
ranks of your companions.
And now, my countrymen, in behalf OF
the whole American people I dedicate this |
rative memorials which it is believed will |
be hereafter erected upon it to the ever |
lasting glories of the Grand Army of the |
God bless you all, and those who to-day
unite in the Strengthening of the Ameri-
can republic.
The final program of the exercises closed |
with the playing of the Star Spsngled Ban
ner by the Marine band, a part of the
crowd aiding vocally in the ceremony, but
there were some very brief informal
speeches by Secretaries Noble and Rusk.
Attorney General Miller, Acting Secretary
Of War Grant, Generals Schofeld, Keifer,
Green and Fairchild before the crowd dis
persed and the the services could be said
to be actually at an end.
