Joe Johnston have been pitched forever
on the eternal camping grounds, and all
over this land at this hour is shining the
great orb of peace in all the splendor of
undimmed majesty.
The birth of the man whose memory
we unite in recalling tonight is a great
event, and should be annually celebrated by
all our people. Lest forget; lest We
forget that he was "A foe without hate. a
friend without treachery, soldier without
cruelty, a public officer without vices, a
private citizen without reproach, a Chris
tian without hypocrisy, man without
guilt Therefore. we all should delight to
unite to honor his memory at all times and
in all places.
May the harmonious invocations from
forty-fve states rise to the heavens. sweep
above the stars, invoking on our country
progress, peace and prosperity; and let all
fervently pray that when the veil Of fu-
turity shall be lifted, there shall be re-
vealed the upward and onward course IF
the American Union; that republic will
be visible, representing a power and COM
handing a respect that the mighty armies
of Caesar and Augustus never won for the
imperial eagles; and that in 1t section may
never lift it's hand against section again,
neither shall they know war any more, and
that the reign of peace, unity and frater-
nifty shall be as lasting as the home Of the
stars, as eternal as foundations OF the ever
lasting hills"
Gov. Herrick's Remarks.
Governor Herrick responded to Ohio"
saying:
"Once more we are gathered in Canton,
as in the years gone by. In those years
we came with stout hearts and high hopes
to counsel with our beloved chieftain con-
corning the future Tonight We pause,
strong in the consciousness of the unseen
presence of our dead friend, to look back
over the past and revive our memories of
the beautiful character and noble achieve
ments of William Mckinley, and cut a
little deeper on the emblematic white mar
BILE his undying record which has become
an integral part of the life of our state and
nation.
"Who shall say that such a career is not
an inspiration, living lesson for our mil
lions of free people, and for all who shall
come after them? And who shall deny that
the dark and heavy day when all that was
earthly Of William Mckinley was laid
away, who will deny that this was. after
ALL triumph-the victory of life eternal
over poor mortality-the triumphant uplift-
ing of a deathless fame"
Lieut.. Gov. Harding's Tribute.
"Our Country" was the subject of Lieut..
Gov. Harding's address, in part as follows
among the greater services rendered his
country, the @grandest achievement of the
martyred Mckinley was the winning of the
south to the concord of union and purpose
and pride that was vital to the onward
course Of the nation. And it seems TO me
that if, in the browning wreaths of immor-
tally, there is separate bloom for every
noble achievement, the angel of the south
will place on William McKinley's brow the
richest garland that may blossom there
