Presidents of the United States, senators, representa-
tives, justices of the highest courts, and even foreign am
bassadors, have poured forth their eloquence at lberty's
cradle. The municipal authorities of the city OF Phlladel-
mia are careful to see to it that some distinguished man
is always on hand as orator of the day.
The pomp of military circumstances has sometimes
been called uron to lend prestige to the occasion, and the
best musicians in the land have been proud to play patri-
otto airs in the shadow Of the steeple where hung the
bell that rang out independence.
The first reading of the declaration was that by
Charles Thomson, the secretary of congress, when he an

teen colonies was at an end.
That privilege was reserved for John Nixon, a prom1-

occasion delegates to the congress filed out in the July
sunshine to listen to the sacred words.
Nixon has been described as a master elocutionist with
a voice so clear and distinct that it was heard clear to
