patriotic people, State that was the
irst TO adopt the Federal constitution, a
State that has furnished more soldiers,

stood at the front in all public under
takings. AS the last evidence OF this l

guished citizen and member of the coun-
Gil of administration OF the Worlds CO.
lumbar Exposition, the Hon. George |

better effect to make this Exposition a |
success than he, and ! am thrice happy
to refresh your memory with the TACT
that Mr.. Massey, too, halls from the
great State of Delaware"
