their state capital. am glad to be at
the home of the martyred' president.
His name is one of inspiration and a
holy one to all lovers of liberty, the
world over. He saved the Union. He
liberated q race-a race which he said
ought to be free, because there might
come = time when these black men
could help keep the jewel of liberty in
the family of nations II any vindIca-
ton of that act or of that prophecy
were needed. it was fo1nd wnen the
brave black men assembled the hill of
san Juan in Cuba and charged the
enemy at FL Caney. They vindicated
their own title to liberty on that field.
and, with our other brave soldiers,
gave the priceless gift of liberty to an
ether suffering race. My fellow citi-

ever in immortal story. His tame, his
work, his life, is not only an insoira-

but to all mankind. And what an en-
courageInent his life work has been to
all his successors in the presidential
office. If any one of them, at any
time, has felt that his burden was
heavy, he had but to reflect upon the
greater burdens of Abraham Lincoln
to make his seem lighter My fellow
citizens, 1 congratulate you that your
great state furnished him to the coun-
try and to the world. You guard his
sacred ashes here, but the whole coun-
try guards with you his sacred men,
