grafton, introduced the speakers of national
reputation to the vast audience "Where is

But greatest always as factors of success
in all of our undertakings are the w. X. c.,
our helpers, our faithful allies. They know
how we appreciate them and without them
our success would not have been complete,
and to them our thanks are perpetual. And
to all especially named and to those eouaIly
worthy and not named, citizens all. we thank
you and In the name of the Grand Army of
the Republic, we salute you.
