down on horseback right through the |
worst part of our city. My chief OF |
police begged me not TO go and said |

was not hurt. But, said Bismarck,
You were in America, you were not

shot down. Why? Because the pao-
pie know that the ruler is but their

Is n Friend of the Germans.
Speaking Of the mayoralty contest
with Mr.. Hesing the speaker said
that he had won by fair means. He
had been pretty good German in the
past Carl Schurz had once declared
that Carter Harrison was about the
best German In the United States
Applause. He had been friend Of
the Germans. One CT his own children
was born in the fatherland. His wife
died there, and for eleven years hel
remains mingled with the soil of old

r plause. If elected mayor, as
r Americans they would come TO him If
they wanted anything and when they
, met over tankard Of beer or glass Of
J wine it would be as American

He was not too old, he said, either.
He would be but 20 years old after
his next term Of Office if elected He
would have been ten years the Mayor
of Chicago, all told, and there never
would be another Mayor for that
number of years. 1t would be dis

plause. In conclusion Mr.. Harrison
, said:
81 thank you for your kind atten-
t tion and will ask you TO attend the
] polls on the Ith OF April. Now,
r think we will be pretty good team
r altogether. We will show TO the
y world, if any Of it comes here this
( summer, what this ciE Of ours has
+ grown from. We will take strangers
e down here in the street and we will
= show them an oak tree that less than
: one hundred years ago witnessed the
G scalping Of men, women and chill
t dren. We will show them a map that
5 will show Chicago's enyirons all a
n great barren waste, and then we will
t point TO that glorious spectacle down
i at Jackson Park, the finest the world
= ever saw. 1t is like a dream. /
q thought when / visited the capital of
D Bermuda that it must be the most
s beautiful place in the world but
v down here at Jackson Park is a city
= that has sprung up I'm two years, a
, glorious spectacle When the
0 German comes here he will ad.
n init that his Berlin does not
t equal it, and the Italians will
/ admit that Naples does not compare
1 with it; the Frenchman will agree
S that Marseilles is not to be talked of,
Y and everyone will admit that this
( cosmopolitan city Of ours, made up of
e Germans, Italians, Frenchmen, Rus
t slams, Bohemians, Slays, Turks, and
y a few Americans, Is the finest city
/ and has the finest population on the
U face Of the globe. If they ask how IL
o is, we will point TO the stars and
stripes and say this glorious city is
the product Of liberty. Come aud
: enjoy 1t with US. BE like the Ger
! mans that have come hcre-becOme
Y Americans Our country is big
y enough and warm enough TO take to
its heart all the world"
