at the Forest City House was participated
in by nearly all the leading Republicans
of the city. Covers were laid for 225. Gov
ernor Mckinley was the guest of honor,
and his address i'm response to the toast,
The Republican Party" was the principal
speech of the evening. Governor Bushnell
was prevented from being present by a
previous engagement, and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Jones was kept away by the illness
of his wife. Gen. Charles II. Grosvenor,
who was to have responded to the
toast, 9TH Republican Party Never
Fights Behind Breastworks," sent his
regrets. The most notable address. aside
from that of Governor Mckinley, was de-
livered by Congressman William Smith, of
Grand Rapids, in response to the toast,
Our Foreign Relations"
In the course of his address Major Nc
Kinley said: This is the month Of i'm

ing impressive lessons to the people and

part Washington took in framing the Con-

amendment providing for the representa-
ton of the States in the House, he paid a
tribute to the wisdom and ~soundness of
that instrument, and praised Washington
for his administration of the government.
In conclusion. he SAID: "Lincoln's immor-
tai proclamation of emancipation was but
a fitting supplement and actual fuifillment
of the immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence. yorktown pointed the way, but ii
was Appomattox that marked the complete
and glorious realization of both. The
greatest names in American history are
Washington and Lincoln. These illustrious
men achieved grander things during the
less than century, from IT'S to 1866, than
any other men ever accomplished in all the
years since first the flight of time began.
Washington acknowledged no throne but
