My Fellow Cltjxcns: I have been received by man peo ple and in many places, west and north, and south aod east, but nowhere have I had a welcome that has given me greater pleasure than you extend to me here today. I wish It wan In my pow er to maty- suitable response to the gracious and eloquent words of hin) whom you have chosen to speak In your behalf .my old friend, whom 1 met for the first time In the congress of the United States. It Is Indeed an honor totne, and one that shall never la* for gotten to stand In the jdaee associated with the names of Washington and Lafayette and Clay and Webster. It is also a pleasure to me to be in the city where the gallant cavalry officer, General Joe Wheeler was born. (Ap plause.) It is a pleasure to me to meet in this welcome these veterans of the gray, these ex-Confederate soldiers, (applause), and to feel that In common with the veterans of the blue and all their fellow citizens they are In heart touch with the alms and purposes of this great republic. (Applause.) What a wonderful country we have! With what pride the contemplation of its history Alls us all! When Wash ington was here we had a little over 3,000,000 of people: we hate J 8,000,000 to day. We have added vastly to our ter ritory. We are today the largest man ufacturing and the largest agricultural nation of the world. (Applause.) Our commerce floats on every sea, and only day before yesterday I saw' that a thou sand tons of shill plates had been land ed in Glasgow, Scotland, and what is even more significant, It was carried upon a ship bearing the American flag. (Applause.) My fellow citizens, I congratulate you on the prosperity of the country, f const atulate you on the progress it has made In the last third of a century, but I congratulate you even mote because as a. people we are united and more de voted to national purposes and more imbued with the true national spirit tOCAL p>lßf AAT**Filr iMistl ill W*l**iay» • 111 »*#*>»* *PYH *"*» inwwiwi IT™ h “ l ” n | Tt»*» mr yOl®#«hi.

The situation In South Carolina was given ns an Illustration. Politically the white Republican* in that state are known a* the “Lilly White*." With in the past few year* a large number of eolton mill* have been established in thi* state. The rapita'. to a larg* extent has com* dowti from N*w Eng land Most of tb* whit** td*ntll!*ii with thrse factories! ar* protn tionlst*. naturally Republican. A number of other manufacturing tnlereata have been established. Th* capitalists Iden- I tilled with these are Republicans. In addition to these are th* Gold Demo crats. respectable Iti numbers. These with the regular white Republicans, were sufficient to make quite an organ ization. This organizations has had representatives at Washington for the past two w*(ks. They frankly any that the situation Is one for party politics and not legislation. The "Lily Whites" sent a delegation to the Republican convention In St. Louis In lAB6. This delegation was thrown out and the delegates repre senting the Black organization was seated. This discouraged the "Lily Whites” very much. They went back home, however, and made a brave ef fort to keep their organization, togeth er. They say now that the recent race riots arc the part of an effort to drive all the gold Democrats and as many timid white Republicans as possible back Into the Democratic party. In brief, the Democrats of the South are viciously playing no race prejudices tn strengthen their party organization. As a matter of fact. 95 per rent of the office holders of South Carolina are whites. The five per cent are so scat tered that the black offlccrholders ar* really insignificant.
