the memory Of Gen. Henry w. Lawton
q monument crowned by a cannon cap,
tured by him and christened In the
principal city park in honor OF the dead
hero. The ceremony occurred under the
auspices Of the Union Veteran Legion,
and Col. William Jennings Bryan was
the principal orator Of the occasion. His
address was nom partisan. Many peo-
pie were present to witness the cere-
nony, including number OF visitors
T to the meeting of the legion. The cere-s

Earade, Mas presided over by Hon. r.
Bs Hanna, the republican candidate for

y 1ov. Mount made addresses
nd Gov. Mount In his speech took up the
Philippine war. denounctng Aguinaldo
by name and showing tendency to
strong condemnation Of the insurgents
and with all who sympa thize with them.
He spoke with apparent bitterness OF
the fact that the gun had been taken
from men who had turned 1t upon our
flag and our soldiers, the soldiers. he
raid, who had broken the letters OF the
imperial power Of Spain from their
limbs. He quoted the declaration OF
New York newspaper that the war
made by the Filipinos wasa war OF i'm
cendiarism and aseassination,' and also
read with apparent approval declara-
ton OF the same paper that the Filipinoe
must be crushed now and forever
He then quoted the utterance attributed
to Gen. Lawton to the effect that II I
am shot by Filipino bullet 1t might

because know from observation, con-
hrmed by captured prisoners, tina; the
continuance of this fighting is chiefly
due to the reports that are sent out
from America
The governor added:
II this cannon war not captured in
q just and humane war and from those
resisting lawfully constituted authority
over these islands and lighting the SOL
ated them from Spanish thraldom, then
where is the honor of the capture and
the glory OF this gift? Honor these In
sursents as patriots. then you interpret
wronEfully the words, will and act OF
our dead hero: then this service becomes
hollow mockery and this trophy OF
patriotic valor becomes monument to
the dishonor of our soldiers and the

Further on Mount said:
u trust p may never see the day when
shall SO far forget my devotion and.
my loyalty to my country as to char
acteri<e our soldiers ae agents of on
pre- scion, turning the banner Of liberty
into an ensign OF imperialism. nor do /
apprehend such consumma ton"
There was some applause ait the gov
ernors utterances, and there was an
evident expectancy as to what Bryan,
would say when he arose. Most people
regarded Mounts remarks as direct
challenge of Bryan's political view OF
the Philippine war, and some evidently
looked for q response, notwithstanding
the purpose Of the meeting was the$op-3
pos1te OF political. In this expectation
they We're disappointed, for. while I'll
would be too much TO say that none Of
Bryan's utterances we're called out by
Mounts remarks. he made no direct ref
erence to them. and he disavowed al
the outset any intention TO make a pp-
litical speech. Apparently this deter
mination caught the fancyof the crq1d,
for the announcement was received
with applause. and henceforth he was
listened to with close attention
