In the war you had to have patriotism, but there was but little to be made of the man who was patriotic but who had a tendency to run away.

Each one of us must remember that any one may and will at times slip.

Character has two sides.

I am glad to be welcomed by all of you, but most of all by the men of the Grand Army, and after them by my own comrades of the National Guard.

I welcome you all.

I wish to say how glad I am to see you.

I like your stock and I am glad it is not dying out.

Down at bottom we are the same people all through.

I wish to congratulate the men and women of this city upon the children.
