Carolina. I am glad to meet the citizens
Of the State. and also the soldiers of the
United States encamped in your vicinity. A
government like ours rests on the intelli-
gence, morality and patriotism of the peo-
pie. These constitute our strength and are
the very armament of our power, and in a
history of more than a hundred years, filled
with great achievements and marked by
unparalleled progress, these have never
failed; these make gooa citizenship, and
good citizenship is necessary to national adj
vancement. The majority Of the people al
ways have been on the side of right action
and good government, and in this year 1898,
one of the most glorious-there have been
such manifestations of good will, of loyalty
on the part of all the people of all sections
of the country as have been unprecedented
in our history. Each has rivaled the other
In devotion to the old flag. 1t is a happy
omen for our country, in view of the vast
problems that await us in the near future.
And let us here in South Carolina, and in
every other State of the American Union,
devote ourselves to the preservation of this
great political structure, resolved that the
general government of the people, by the
people and for the people shall not perish
from the earth. 1t cannot as long as it con-
tinueS deeply rooted in the affections of the
citizens ] thank you all, and it gives me
great pleasure to introduce to you tonight
two or three of the soldiers conspicuous in
the battle of Santiago, and the first whom
shall present will be Major General Shat
