But now to our toast, The State of

| Big Medicine Man Sommer spoke as
follows:
Grand Sachem, Sagamores and
Democrats good many years ago
! tonight, when a schoolboy in my ma
tive country, 1 passed the home of the
American consul and noticing the great
mansion all lighted up and decorated
with flowers and bunting and upon it's
! flagpole the Stars and Stripes, 1 in
quired Of boy of my own age what
this all meant He informed me that
this was in honor of Jackson's day. Up
to that time had never heard of Jack
son, and inquiring about him in my
peculiar way | must have enraged my
American friend, because ne at once
started to mop the sidewalk with me.
This forcible explanation sent me home
wiser boy. I began to read the life
of Jackson and Jefferson and Douglas
and the history of the United States.
and it did not take long for me to see
that this was the great land of liberty
and recalling the words of Alexander the
Great, Seek thee another country, Mac
edonia is too small for thee" and low
| ing liberty and freedom 1 decided to
leave country which was governed
by a king and where church and state
went hand in hand in oppression, so
when l reached your American shores
[ realized that kingcraft and persecu-
ton and tyranny were barred by that
grand and glorious flag the Stars and
Stripes. The first So which l earned
were expended to become an Ameri-
can citizen. This little document con-
ferred upon me the greatest boon
grand republic can bestow upon the
oppressed and down-trodden refuge
who seeks its shores a land of I'M
limited extent, a land of countless
wealth and resources, a vast domain
taking the place of the ancient pent
up cities of refuge, a land where the
people govern and where every citi-
zen is the peer of the rulers of the
other countries provided he can proud
ly and honestly exclaim I am a Demo-
craft

Fourth-"The Union of All of U.s."
After many years of warfare
Many years of strife and bloodshed

-Longfellow.
Response by Hon. Alfales Young.
Hon. Alfales Young said he was
proud to be in the halls of the Tusca-
roras. 1t matters not who had begun
the division movement, the Tusca-
roras had joined it. Mr.. Young referred
to the small band OF stalwarts who
had first organized Democracy in this
territory, who he compared to the
voice of one crying in the wilderness
prepare we the way and the way
but the war is ended and we have
only one opponent, the G. o. P, over
whom the Democracy would triumph
lin the years to come.
