Presldeus Mckinley made memorable
the first Gay of the Atlanta peace jubi-
lee by notable utterance in his speech
before the joint session of the Georgia
legislature. His reception by the gen.
eral assembly was warm and hearty in
she extreme, and his speech was pune
tuated with frequent outbursts of
cheering 10 is admitted on all sides
that the address marked an epoch in
history.
A scene OF intense enthusiasm fol-
lowe when, amid impressive silence,
these words .ell from the lips of the
president:
Livery soldiers grave made during
the unfortunate civil war is tribute TO
the American yalor. And while, when
those graves were made we differed
widely about the future of the govern
ment, those differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrament OF arms-and
the time has now come in the eyolu-
tlon Of sentiment and feeling under
the providence of God, when in the
spirit OF fraternity we should share
with you III the care of the graves of
the Confederate soldiers"
A wild cheer went up from every
throat IN the typical southern audience,
cheer that echoed and re-echoed
through the chamber until il was taken
up BY the crow DIS outside. Old men who
Fought for the south rose from their
IN rs r,aE nod H..
federare veteran, now venerable legis-
lator, hal pressed forward until he was
leaning against the speaker s desk, hang
ing On each word the president uttered
When reference was made to the Con-
federate dead this old man buried his
head III his arms, and, while the cheers
rang out, cried like little child.
VI all the many conciliatory speeches
which have been made since Grant said
'iet there De peace, nothing has more
deeply stiT1t southern audience than
che simp,o words of President McKin-
ley lhe speech was as follows:
Sectional lines no longer mar the map Of
the Onit~d States, sectional feeling no longer
holds back the love we bear each other Fra
te-nity - the national anthem, sung by
choras OF 40 ST ties and our territories at home
and heyond theN,as. The union is once more
the 9stl@oa els-.- Il our love and loyalty, our
dew ion AID sacrifice. The old flag again
wave over u, n peace with new glories which
your SOFAS u oufs have this year aided to its
sacred folds. What cause we have for rejoic-
Rng, sa1dene only by the fact that so many
OF our brave fell. The memory of the
sdeAA Ill be precious legacy and the dis
ssblest viii lie the nations care. A nation
whic.i cares for its disabled soldiers, as we
have always done, will never lack defenders
The nations cemetery for those who fell in
bett,e IS proof that the dead we'll remem-
bertS AID III living have orr love.
What an army Of silent sentinels we have
and with what loving care their graves are
kept Every soldiers grave made during our
unfortunate civil is tribute to Amer
can yaior. And while, when their graves
were made, we differed widely about the fut-
ure OF this government, these differences
were long ago settled by the arbitration Of
sarTns-and the time has come in the evo-
1ution of sentiment and feeling under the
providence of God when in the spirit of fra
sternity should share with you in the care
vof the graves of the confederate soldiers.
The cordial feeling now happily existing be-
tween the north and south prompts this gra-
cious act and if it needed further justification
it is found in the. gallant loyalty to the Union
aud the flag, SO conspicuously shown in the
year Just passed by the and grandsons of
those heroic dead What glorious future
awaits us if unitedly, wisely and braveiy we
face the new problems now pressing upon us,
determined to solve them for right and hu
manity.
