you have the best municipal government
in the world and the purest and most fra
grant The very angels envy you and
wish they could establish a government
like 1t in heaven. You got 1t by fidelity
to civic duty. You got 1t by stern and
ever watchful exertion of the great pow
ers with which you are charged; by the
rights which were handed down to you by
your fathers: by your manly refusal to
let base men invade the high places Of
your government and by instant retalia-
tion when any public officer has insulted
you in the city's name by swerving in the
slightest from the upright and full per-
Torrance Of his duty.

This breath of calumny. this cry OF mill

Because of the integrity OF that great
army of 100000 who returned to their
homes without a ripple and took upon
the plain duties OF citizens.
The same thing would occur again"
