 In Introducing the President, Govern or Beckham said:
 Ladies and gentlemen:-Not only the people of Louisville but the gsople of all Kentucky rejoice today in well coming among us the President of this great republic. Regardless of all po- litical differences we are here to do of this country, but also to Theodore Roosevelt. the man. (great applause )
 We recognise his eminent patriotism his Integrity, his fearlessness and we all believe him to be a friend of the great common people throughout the country. We also look forward to him during the next four years as a ruler of this republic to obliterate the last faint line of sectional differences that may exist in this country. (Applause.) believe 1t Is in the power of this great man who more than any Presi- dent since the big brained, big hearted Lincoln. holds the affections and the confidence of the people of this country -I say believe 1t is more In his pow CT than in the power of any other man to establish beyond question the fact that there is no South. no North, no East and no West in this country
 Prolonged applause.)
 As the President stepped upon the platform, and the crowd saw him, a prolonged cheer went up. The Presi- dent tried to speak. but good naturedly waited until the applause had died out. Then he said:
 Governor Beckham, and you, my fel- low Americans--(applaus any man would indeed be gratified to be greeted in this way by such an audi ence and be introduced as you have in- troduced me, Governor Beckham. (Ap- piause.) As the governor has so we'll
 said upon all the important questions that infinitely transcend. were partisan differences, we are fundamentally one. (Applause.)
 For in the question of foreign and internal politics, the points upon which there can be no proper division on par ty lines. infinitely exceed in number those upon which there can be such di- vision and Governor Beckham, I shall do all that in me lies to justify the hope to which you have given express sion and try to show myself the Presi- | dent of all the people of the United
 States. (Prolonged applause.)
 And naturally. feel particularly gratified at seeing here today, joined in
 this procession the men who wore the
 blue, and the men who wore the gray | daughter and applause.)
 Fashionable Pride.
 'In the dark days-now keep just as quiet as you can you won't be able to do anything more than see me anyhow | daughter and applause.) In the dark days each of you fought for the right as 1t was given him to see the right Ga
 voice: that's right.o and each of yod l has left us the right to feel pride. not only in your valor but in your devotion | to what you conscientiously believed your duty (Great applause)
 And now we are all one (cheers and 1 long continued applause) and as reu- nited people we have the right to feel | the same pride in the valor of the man who conscientiously risked his life in l the Confederate uniform that we have in the man who fought in the blue (applause.) And as I passed by your ranks. oh, my friends in gray. today, and saluted the flag of our common country held up by man fin the gray uniform, felt that indeed we are one and indeed that we have been able to show mankind that the greatest war or the century can be followed by the most perfect union that any nation now knows ( great applause)
 And in coming to this great and beautiful city of yours, l wish to con- | Rratulate you upon the historic things 1 that are found here. I am glad, as l say. of the spirit that makes you wish i to dedicate statues like this of Jeffer- son. like the great statue of Clay on l the other side of the court house. It | Is a fine thing to keep to sense of historic continuity with the past and l there is one statue which l wish the members of the national Congress from | Kentucky would have put up by the l national government and that Is a na- | tIonaI statue to Andrew Jackson and the victors of the battle of New Or | leans. The fight at New Orleans was one fin which the whole nation had a part, as far as the glory and profit
 went, and the whole nation and not
 any one State should join in putting that statue up.
 Now I am going to say goodbye be- | cause there Is a little movement here
 and 1t will be better for the women
 and the small people if I let you get | away. Goodbye" (Cheers.)
