President Hoiioway's Address.
Ladies' and Genlemen-We are assem-
bled tonight, not as Demo Gratis, not as
PopulIsts, not as Prohibitionists, nor as
Popocrats, as our gold standard friends
are pleased to call US, but as God.fearing
and humanity-loving American oitizsns,
who have dared to do right because it is
right and who are patriotic enough and
courageous enough to believe that our
country is large enough and old enough,
and can produce statesmen who are wise
and good enough to outline our own
policies, enact our own laws and enforce
them without the consent or approval Of
any other nation on earth. We are here
tonight regardless Of what may have been
our previous party affiliations or con-
dition of servitude. We have come from
different camps, we who are gathered here
tonight.
One short year ago found many of
us singing out of different hymn books
with organs more or leEs out of tune,
but tonight we come here singing all the
same glad song and to an aocompani-
ha ~ nh inh nn
faulty or uncertain There is harmony
in that song, and our hearts are in this
singing.
will not go into discussion of the
causes which aotuated, or the forces
which mrelled, many of us to cut loose
from the traditions of a life time, ana to
sink our previous differences to join issue
in one common and holy cause.
We are here tonight to commemorate
the memory Of one great American clti-
zen who has long since passed away, but
whose memory Is yet fresh in the heart Of
every true lover Of his cnuutry-Andrew
jackson, the hero of New Orlssns and
the protector Of the common people from
the usurpation Of the money power.
In a more recent period Of the nations
history, another great hsro, ordained Of
God for the sphere which he filled, came
into power, and by the great love Of
humanity and the almost superhuman
wisdom Of the immoral Lincoln, the blot
OF American slavery was wiped from the
land, and the nation preserved one and
inssparable.
We are here tonight not exactly as
yiotors (yet by no means vanqui5hed), |
but rather to take a foIetaste Of that
victory which is sure to come, to live
for few hours in that future that just
awaits US and to pledge ourselves, one
with another, in feast and in fellowship, |
that friendship and mutual interest that
will make glorious and triumphant the
New Democracy.
Now, Lalies and Gentlemen, it is my
pleaEure TO present to you as toastmaster
Of tht evening, one of your honored fellow
citizens, who needs no introduction. As
public official he has performed the
duties OF his high Office with justice |
tempered by mercy. As private citizen,
he has been charitable almost to a fault
the needy and oppressed have always had
his sympathy and help to the full extent
OF his ability, and as an advocate Of the
principles which We all SO much love he
has been fearless and uniting. What he
has been ia the past we can well expect
continuance In the future. l now present
50 you your popular chief masistrate,
Hon. james A. Rice.
Colonel Holloway's introduction of the
toastlnastsr Of the evening was received
with applause, and the subject of his in
PRODUCTION received an ovation. Mayor
Rice was In his happiest vein, and the
large audience wss soon placed in the
best OF humor by his witty and salient
