There are at least two reasons why am grat1ed
by the opportunity participate in this occasion
1t permits me breathe the pleasant atmosphere Of
resolute aud harmonious Democracy: aud, in addi'
ton it allows TO meet face to face in such al at-
mosphere those who largely represent the business
interests of the city of New York, and who besides
are patriotic enough to recognize the obligation they
owe TO their country as well as to their business
1t would be strange if did not recall at this
ment with deep sensibity the days in the past aud
the previous political campaigns, when ! knew
what It was to have the generous support Of the
business men Of New York, and if did not remem-
Der in these Surroundings the sustaining power Of
their approval aud confidence amid the perPleN!Hg
abors OF high official duty. You will not know.
