Acting Mayors Welcome.
big Chiefs, Little Chiefs, Warriors
We are glad you are here. We hope
you will have a good time. do not
believe in heap much talk. The In
dams of old taught me the value and
virtue of breyity. Yet, my heart is so
full of love for the red man that l
would like to talk much. If assume
the virtue of brevity, however, you
will know that it is because l want to
take as little time as is possible from
your pleasures.
Pensacola used to be the best of
hunting grounds. Now it is the best
of the white mans cities. Some of
you know this already, and all of you
will know it before you go back to
your wigwams. l am sorry Big
Chief Reilly is not here to talk for
himself, but in his place l am both
proud and happy to give you the
heartiest of welcomes to and of the
people Of Pensacola"
Mr.. Gladden's Response.
Mr. GLADDEN. Sapbnr0 Of the tribe
responded as follows:
THE big chiefs of the Tippecanoes
have listened to the words of the
Great Paleface and look upon them
with favor. The speaking leaf and
the traditions of their fathers have
taught them that 1t is well for the
Red Man and the Paleface to be
friends as they meet in the Forest Of
Life, SO that they cross not the paths
of each other as they follow the hunt.
MANY Of those brave fathers have
passed beyond the Great Water into
the Happy Hunting Grounds, but be
fore doing SO they have seen the sun
of the primitive Red Man sinking to
rest behind the distant hills, and, with
bowed heads and sorrowing hearts,
they have invoked the Great Spirit to
bless and protect the braves and
squaws who were left behind them, SO
that the Paleface and Red Man may
be friends. AS improved Red Men,
we reverence the opinions of our
primitive fathers and desire to be
friendly with the Palefaces in the
hunting grounds Of Pensacola.
The war eagle of the 11ppecanoes
has folded his wings, and his eyes,
where once cleaned the fires of war

Of the tepee and as evidence that the
