Expressing Regrets at His lnahil-
ity to Attend Memorial
Day Exercises at
Gettysburg.
EARNEST PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS
No More Appropriate Time
Than the Present to Con-
slider the Sacred Themes
of Love of Country
and the Rights
of Man.

Washington, May 70. The President
has written the following letter express,
ing his regrets that he cannot take
part in the exercises at Gettysburg
to-day:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
O., May 20, 1895. MIR. Louis d. Wins
Of committee, Memorial Day exercises,
Gettysburg-My Dear Sir: Engage.
ments here, tie nature of which 10 we'll
understood. will prevent my taxing part
in the Memorial Day ceremonies at
Getty sburg this year, attendance upon
which, under other circumstances
would have afforded me- an especial
qualification. ...z..-
Time only enhances the lasting value
and demonstrates anew the true signifi-
canoe of these inspiring patriotic OBJ
servanues. Whatever may be the char
acter of it's temporary problems, this
liberty, loving nation is not and never
can be forgetful of the immortal heroes
OF the Civil War. For those who served,
as we'll as for those who fell at Gettya-
burg-uow 10 peaceful and beautifully
adorned with the highest creations OF
ths soulptor's art-our reunited fellow
oountrymen, without regard to locality,
creed or political faith, have an abiding
respect and the most cordial esteem.
To-day those who commended on this
historic field nearly 30 years ago, and
their descendants, arc mastering under
the same flag enthusiastic in their de.
votion to the nation and willing tc
make any nacrifice for its honor
The debt of gratitude which VIZ owe
to the nations defenders can never be
completely repaid, either by this Oh
future generations; yet the acknowedg
ment of this obligation each year, il
various forms aud in a multitude o.
places throughout this broad land, puri
fes our ideas and brings US all nearer
together in sympathy of sentiment anc
unity of purpose.
No time could be more appropriate
than the present than to approach in
fitting spirit thess sacred themes O.
the love OF country and the rights O
man. Generations come and go and thu
Issues for which they fought and disc
soon pass into history. But the living
principles of undertakings worthily
accomplished, for an unssltiah purpose
abide forever and guide us to a noble
destiny and still greater achievement
as a nation. Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
