Boston, Feb. E.-President Mckinley
was enthusiastically received by a great
audience in the legislative hall. He said:
Gentlemen: / am glad to be in this
ancient capitol. Here great public ques-
tions have had free discussion discussion.
Here great statesmen, whose names live in
their country's history, have received their
training and voiced the enlightened opin-
ions of their own countrymen. Here,
through the century, you have chosen
your fellow citizens to represent you in
the councils of the nation through that
great parliamentary body, the senate Of
the United States.
You have chosen well, and leaders you
have never lacked. What ilustrious men
have thus borne the commission Of the
legislative body of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts, Pickering, and
Webster, Choate and Everett, Winthrop,
Sumner, Wilson, and long list beside
llustrious in the ANNALS of your state
and nation. And those later statesmen,
Hoar and Lodge, honored everywhere for
distinguished services to our common
county.
at was in the Massachusetts house of
representatives that John III. Andrew
made a speech for human liberty which
touched the hearts OF his fellow citizens
and made him your great war governor.
Nor do l forget that at one time the
speakers chair OF this legislative body
was occupied by your former governor and
representative in congress, now the able
secretary of the navy, Hon. John d. Long,
whose great department has added lustre
to the American navy and glory to the
American name.
II am glad to be on this historic ground.
1t reviyes memories sacred in American
life. 1t recalls the struggles of the foun-
ers of Massachusetts for liberty and in
dependence. Their unselfish sacrifices,
dauntless courage, are inspiration for all
lovers of freedom everywhere; their lives
and characters reach into every American
home and have stimulated the best aspir-
atoms OF American manhood.
SIN the beginning OF our national ex-
istence, and even before, this was the
home and fountain of liberty. 1t is the
home OF liberty now and am sure what
those men of the past secureu for US they
would have us transmit not only to our
descendants, but to carry to oppressed
people whose interests and welfare, by for
tunes of war, are committed to us.
"We may regard the situation before is
as burden or as an opportunity, but
whether as one or the other, it is here
and conscience and civilization requires
us to meet it bravely. Desertion of duty
is not an American habit: it was not the
custom of our fathers and will not be
the practice OF their sons"
