The dedicatory exercises commenced
at the park at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
Burg's Battery firing three guns.
The first speaker was Paul Haesecke
OF Str Peter, grand president Of the
Minnesota lodge. He recited poem,
written by himself for the occasion, in
which he euloglzed all Of the principal
movers in the erection Of the monument.
The recital evoked wild enthusiasm
among the thousands who gathered
about the imposing pile Of stone and

and again.

duced the governor in English, saying
that the presence at this time of the
highest officer Of our great state, accom-
panied by his staff, did honor to the great
order of Hermann sons and assisted to
add splendor to the occasion. The unveil-
ing and dedication Of the monument to
the acknowledged liberator of the Ger
man race from Roman tyranny was a
matter IN which all could take pride.
When the governor appeared he was
warmly welcomed by the great crowd
and when he closed three cheers were
proposed for Mianesota's executive and
given in manner that showed that his
presence was appreciated. His address
was lengthy, being devoted to the his
tory of Hermann and the lessons which
we as citizens of the United States might
learn from his efforts in behalf of free
dom from oppression and tyranny, but
it was scholarly and interesting. The
governor said:
GOV. cLoUGH's ADDRESS.
" You meet here to dedicate monu-
ment in this North Star state to COM
memorate the heroic deeds of the Ger
man chieftaln, Hermann, who won the
famous victory over the Roman general,
Varus, in the forests of his native land.
,Ehe place for this monument is over
1000 miles from the scenes of conflict,
which it seeks to bring vividly before
the minds of the American people. The
date of this dedication is fifteen times as
far remote in years from the date of that
old victory, as is the battle of Bunker
Hill. Why then should citizens of this
republican United States, at the close of
the nineteenth century erect this pile OF
stone to keep alive the story of battle
in other lands at the beginning of the
first century of our era? A true answer
