When Governor Lilley arose tc
speak he was greeted with cheering
and it was some time before he could
proceed, until the banqueters HAD fin
ished singing Hail To Our Chief y
and Hes a jolly Good Fellow" He
spoke as follows:
| Mr.. POSTMASTER and Gentlemen:
| If 1 cannot, like Chauncey Depew,
address you Fellow Irishmen,
1 can, nevertheless, claim seat at
your board by right of lineage, for
my great grandmother was a Nc
Namara; and while 1 am from the
soil of New England, and yield to
none in my appreciation of the Yam
KEGS virtues, neither do 1 hesitate to
say that it is with pride that I claim
! a strain of Irish bloo- in my veins.
1t is as an American, however that
would pay tribute to the race that
has put into our composite stock that
virility, energy, tenacfty and talent
t. achievement that have made
Americans the greatest race and the
United States the greatest nation in
history.
Your own speakers, of purer Irish
strain than I, will sing the praises Of
Erin and her sons and daughters. I
shall limit my brief remarks to the
debt that we of Connecticut and
america owe to our Celtic admixture
and the reasons for my personal pride
in 1t.
Not until ABOUT 1870 ola the rear
emigration of the race to Connecticut
begi:-. The religious prejudices of
those days made their task to get a
! foothold a difficult one, but that fru-
gality. sturdiness and strength of
r. pose always so characteristic of
them, triumphed over all obstacles.
How could people be kept down
who showed such devotion to their
ideals, and without complaint but
rather with cheerfulness assumed
such sacrifices? For it is recorded of
the early Irish settlers that they
would walk from New Haven to
Hartford. where the nearest church
was located, to attend service, plod-
ding home after mass on Sunday.
Nor was all the hard travelling left
to the parishioners. Father James
Fitton, who took charge OF the parish
where the first Catholic church of the
state was built in 1888, travelled on
foot not only through Hartford and
New Haven counties, but into Itch
field County and up into Massachu-
sets far as Webster.
That is the kind of devotion and
strength of purpose against which no
human impeachment can long prevail,
and we of these more liberal days
Puritan forefathers in their mistaken
zeal did not succeed in the effort to
keep out the doughty pioneers from
the Emerald Isle.
To-day in Connecticut and Mass
achusetts 1t can scarcely be disputed
that in our most useful and produc-
tive activities the Irish stock is at
least as numerous as the Puritan.
Boston and New York are more truly
representative of the vigor of the Celt
thar Cork and Dublin.
Looking over a broader field, the
American reader of history and con-
temporaneous chronicle can never
fail to note the great and growing
debt of this land to its Irish blood
In whatever direction his view extends
he will find monuments of achieve
ment built by the representatives of
that wonderful race
In the field of art. William w. Cor
coran, whose patriotic liberality gave
