cared to gathered about the stand to listen to the second and concluding part of I the exercises at the Park When all had grown comparatively quiet I Gov Murray vacated the presidency r presi-dency ef the meeting during the afternoon af-ternoon favor Mayor Jennings and that gentleman proceeded to propose the toasts a announced and they were responded to The g first toast was The President of the United States which was responded j respond-ed to in a extemporaneous address j I frequently interrupted by applause I by S J JON SON The President of the United States is the executive head of a nation of over fifty millions of people He carries no sceptre wears no crow t p purple no royal ermine er-mine He Bits on no high throne is surrounded sur-rounded by no court retinue by no dazzling I daz-zling pageantry He has not attained his r position because he was the scion of some royal house No books of heraldry tad to b searched to trace his lineage He is not a sacred majesty who icu i-cu do no wrong No fellow citizens the President of the United States is a plain man reared i the midst of his fellow citizens and has been elected by their free suffrage He is accessible to the humblest citizen i the land He is personally per-sonally responsible for h acts and no J minister need shoulder the blame of his 1 misdeeds or b imprisoned perhaps beheaded therefor SU the President r of the United States is grander than any monarch grand In all his simplicity Every citizen of this grand nation feels proud of haying the distinguished honor of casting a Tot for the man who fills r Inch a position At his election all ballots I bal-lots count alike that of the man In the j log rabin I equally potent with that of i the millionaire f the palace t Prior to the present administration twenty American citizens had filled the presidential chair What grand thing i would be to see those twenty men assembled as-sembled atone time From the warrior statesman and scholar Washington to the scholar orator and statesman Garfield When we cast our vision backward athwart a century and contemplate them eaeh singly we discover great qualities peculiar to each Individual But what shall we say when we contemplate them collectively Are there any twenty monarchs mon-archs who have ruled the destiny of any nation that can at all compare with them Among them were great warriors great lawyers great scholars philosophers and get where did these twenty men come Itom They came through no royal lineage Many of them were born 1 n leg cabins and reared in poverty We have had men i the presidential chair who commenced life as railsplitters towpath tow-path boys farmer boys and tailors In the front head and shoulder above the rest stands Washington the Leoni das of America He it was who led the little famished army of American patriots against the overwhelming odds of 4 the foreign mercenary troops At the cry of Washington and Libertyl his band ef patriots rallied around their standards defying the rigors of the winter and the scorching heat of summer fording the river scaling the mountains marking the ground over which they trod with the blood of their unshod fet and with shouts of victory drove the enemy from his trenches and from the land consecrated t liberty Then Washington was unani mously pronounced lte first In war The throes were over and a new nation was born The people declared against monarchy mon-archy They wished no wars of succession succes-sion so internal dissensions on account uncles aunts or cousins of the loyal family They wanted no imbecile to rule them simply because he had been swathed I in royal purple Nol They made a constitution i consti-tution i accordance with the rights of man enunciated i the Declaration of Independence Inde-pendence He confided thf machinery of their government to three departments the executive tIe legislative the judicial judi-cial And under the guidance of these departments our nation has grown from four to fifty minions i one century They called upon Washington to preside over them He brought order out of chaos Under his administration the country recovered from the prostration which a long war had thrown it into and became an acknowledged power among the nations of the earth Then the people pronounced him the first In peace And when the people came t realize his virtues vir-tues the parity and ardor of his patriotIsm patriot-Ism they justly pronounced him The First in War the Fist In Peace and the j Fiat I the hearts of ME Countrymen Next after him came Adams and Jefferson Jeffer-son both ripe scholars great orators and statesmen One wrote and both of them I signed the Declaration of Independence read in your hearing here today Hut l 1 time passes I Is Impossible to review this distinguished phalanx A remem thi ber dstghe heroes Jackson Harrison and Taylor fighting the battles against both civilized and savage foes from the burning sands of Mexico to the inhospitable solitudes of our northern borders soludes ned mention General Grant who ranks as a eoldler with the greatest captains of Europe and to whom all the world has paid homage not alone on account of h military greatness but because h fellowcitizens had elevated him to the Presidential chair for two terms and the people of the who JB world high and low paid honor t this nation whose distinguished representative ha was wasCan this nation can the world ever forget Abraham Lincoln Can the records canonization furnish an example more entitled to the name of martyr On his accession to the Presidency he found four millions of his fellowcreatures In chains when he fell at the fatal blow or the as sasssin the fetters had fallen from their limbs He demonstrated Richelieus saying say-ing uthe pea Is mightier than the sword to be true because with one little scrawl aA Lincoln four millions of human hu-man beings had been raised from a chattel to a status that thereafter they would come under the provisions of that great charter of English liberties the habeas corpus act and their former owners could no longer recover any of them by writ of replevin But1 must close Fellow citizens the Presidency of the United States is a grander position than that occupied by any monaicb I Is growing grander every year Many of us shall yet see us surrounded by one hundred millions of free happy and prosperous I fellow citizens I feel proud of being a citizen of this nation I feel proud of having had a voice hi the selection of the present President Presi-dent of the United States and of his great and good predecessor I feel proud to say that Chester A Arthur Is equal to the task imposed upon him and I have no doubt butthat in impartial history his administration will be noted as one of the most prosperous and successful and thathe will fill a distinguished niche among his predecessors and I am sure that every one of you agree with me in the sentiment timent that long life and prosperity may attend the twentyfirst President of the United States and that peace prosperity and goodwU of all may attend his administration ad-ministration The next toast was The Union No North no South no East no West but one and inseparable now and forever The gentleman read his addresswhich was very able and is given below The applause at the conclusion was very hearty The response i given and was made by ART STATUEB The sentiment announced as a toait by His Excellency the president of the day and to which I am called upon to respond was enunciated by one of the greatest statesmen that the American nation has ever produced and one to whom the republic re-public ewes today a debt of lasting gratItude grat-Itude the correctness of whose principles has never yet been questioned and whose labors In the forum ale green In the memories mem-ories of all patriots of today I speak of that noble patriot and renowned orator Daniel Webster The sentiment is one which reflects the greatest honor on him who uttered I and while offering the most promising encouragement throws open the widest possibilities to all for whom it was intended it implies the very highest degree of honorable principle in i those who yielded obedience t its sacred sa-cred behests and who offered themselves on the altar of patriotism as martyrs for its inauguration Union means in this instance the cohesion of two or more Instnce te coheflan separate I sep-arate and independent bodies bound together to-gether by welcome bonds which taken on at will are when once rivetted forever I after indissoluble The Union under whose benign auspices we celebrate today to-day is based upon a compact entered Into between sovereign States written with the soyereg hand of courageous patriotism embody ing certain well defined rules and competent regnlatlonslntended to exercise exer-cise a beneficial influence over and be uniform In their effects upon the whole body thus formed This Union became an important event hi the history of na tiens and presented to the civilized world the Republic known as the United States of America and the bond by which it elected to be bound I the Constitution framed by pioneers in liberal statesmanship statesman-ship That glorious instrument the Constitution of the United States which we are proud tojacknowledge was insplr ed of Heave was Indited by veteians who had seen the tyrannical injustice of kings and felt the oppressive cruelty of monarchial and imperial institutions and in framing its magnanimous and libra lib-ra provisions they were guided by the wisdom of the Almighty Kuler of nations who hi His grand economy had determined determin-ed to establish one spot upon the earth where true and freedom perfect might be enjoyed and where no manner of oppression oppres-sion should ever be allowed to bear sway Within this sacred document are embodied all the essential elements of a tme free and liberal government extending the broad aegis of its protection overall classes of its citizens and welcoming within its wide domain of unbounded wealth the victims of poverty of tyranny and of oppression op-pression from all parts of the world A Union based upon such a Constitution and forming the foundation of such a republic re-public bestows upon even the remotest denizen within its pales the warmest assurances as-surances of safety froii aggression of every kind by pledging the sacred honor of all its supporter to the protection of any ole or any number of its protegees i the right to hlfe liberty and the pursuit of happiness The chief corner stone of the Union which forms this vast Republic Is the grand principle of universal liberty that liberty which Im plies freedom of thought freedom of i i speech freedom of action that heaven born principle which breaks the gyves of the bondman and unfetters the soul which unlocks the treasures of learning tote to-te untutored mind and opens up the riches of the earth to the Indigent presents pre-sents competence to the industrious and renders possible the accomplishment of the fairy dreams of youth and the laudable laud-able ambitions of all classes it affords an extended field to the artisan and mechanic mechan-ic the inventor and philosopher the savant sav-ant and the sage and opens up a vast and bsnndless world to the energetic and e prizing seeker after knowledge The only one grand principle of control to which i enforces implicit obedience is that all shall respect and none shall encroach upon the rights of others and you bear mt witness that this is no difficult lW for honest men to obey Liberty Oh what joy to the hearts of the old worlds slaved the slaves of avarice What music In the sound what capabilities capabili-ties of happiness the lovely word Implies what wonder the overcrowded nations groaning with their excessive population of serfs poured from their reeking shores countless thousands of our fellowbeings gasping to breathe the ah of freedom To the Union we owe the equitable adjudication ad-judication of just lights to Individuals and under its auspeces we learn to obey the great lawof rlghtj to it we owe our F w t safety at home and our consideration and dignity abroad and really to the Union Uwe owe whatever make us proud of our country It was the offspring of necessity neces-sity in its infancy i was bathe i blood surrounded by the paraphernalia of war and the clashing of arms it passed its early ear-ly experience amidst the hardships of bat tie and the pangs of adversity Goaded into independent action by the unjust demands of the mother country passing at times through all the agonies of temporary tempo-rary defeatanon weakened by the treachery treach-ery of supposed friends bravely did Its first supporters combat all terrors and disadvantages and with the blood of heroes sanctified its inauguration They submitted the justice of their complaint for arbitrament to the God of nations and with the faith which is born of a righteous cause invoked the aid of Him who gives victory to the right in battle With an inspired in-spired assurance of final triumph sternly and unflinchingly grappled the discouraging dis-couraging difficulties which continually arose hi the way of its establiehment and assisted by that Power which had prompted prompt-ed them to action they succeeded at last in placing their feet upon the necks of their royal foes and in accordance with the Innate genius of true republicanism planted upon the lofty eminence of the inalienable rights of man the glorious standard universal liberty under whose ample folds they proclaimed the sublime sentiment that all men are born equal I t established the Union of States and prepared the Constitution for their pared Consttuton government govern-ment and control Under auspices of the Union for a century or more this land has offered an asylum to the downtrodden down-trodden of all nations and millions of sorrowstricken men and women have accepted ac-cepted its invitation and hospitality In the midst of smiling prosperity they have become the possessors of happy homes Their liberty has never been endangered by a foreign foe and the grasp of tyrannical oppression which rendered ttem serfs in their native lands once released re-leased has been forever paralysed The benefits of the Union are apparent and its blessings great in proportion to the firmness firm-ness with which are maintained the principles prin-ciples upon which it is founded and its perpetuation is the devout desire of every true American heart Any effort to weaken weak-en the bonds which hold it together will be watched with 0 jealous eye and should there arise any opposing element to threaten it with dlsrnptlonthere will ever be brave hearts to support sound arguments argu-ments to sustain and willing swords to defend de-fend this glorious Institution There are so many honest hearts grateful for Its blessings and its benificence is so universal univer-sal that the perpetuity of its existence Is dear to every intelligent citizen Wistfully gazing within the sacred precincts pre-cincts of this glorious Union the incipient State of Utah awaits patiently the turn I of the tide which shall waft her to the haven hoped for Recognizing the weight of the contracts and agreements the e tent of the obligations and responsibilities responsibili-ties the value of the blessings and emoluments emol-uments she modestly asks the privilege of being encircled by the same bonds that gracefully united the first thirteen not only desirous to obtain the hen fits of Statehood but willing to bear her share of the burthen of adversity promising to produce her proportion of tho nations wealth to cultivate true republican principles prin-ciples and with the ardor of the beat of the patriots to worship at the shrine of liberty And I am bold to proclaim not only to the loyal multitudes who have assembled as-sembled to do honor to this glorious day but to all the world of mankind that Utah and her citizens stand ready to un sheath the trusty sword of American patriotism pa-triotism for the defence of the Constitution

regret and proposed the toast Utah a superior su-perior response being madehere given by COL O J IIOLMSTJSR I i could wish in responding to your toast that certain beautiful words had often used in picturing the not been so oCtn plcturn transformation of Utah as to have become hackneyed for none can be so fitting They are these The wilderness and the so litary place shall be glad for them and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose One might well fancy that the poet of another age and clitnewhen he uttered those words was watching the spring of shadow draw on here In the morning the TVasatch mountains as you and I Wasath have many times seen it Dwelling here you are tmes used to it and perhaps think the application forced But getaway get-away travel In neighboring States a

was about the hour of sunrise Tne sky was without a cloud a vast dome of pearl high arching over all The air was the perfumed breath of the early morning and the young spring Nothing could be sprug fresher sweeter The dew hung in jeweled freher drops from the grass blades and seemed to tremble on tho eyelashes of the flowers Our way lay through vineyards and orchards farms gardens and villages Brooks tumbled down the mountains ran along by our side then sped away Into the lake The larmers were driving afleld and to their plowIng andsowlngThe grass fall wheat could almost wave in the slight breeze the birds made the meadows and hedges vocal with their morning matins plums and peaches in full bloom were sprinkled upon the whole country sIde like flowering shrubs in a park the tender the trees seemed young foliage of larger tolage to caress the eye that rested upon it But in this heart of spring winter was not far away Mountains held high their white heads behind us they towered at our side an endless snow field unrelieved for long stretches by a single dark object whiter than anything else on earth and beautiful with a beauty which can find no words to contain or convey So near too It seemed you could put your hand on them Once in awhile a-while a turn in the road would disclose anew a-new horizon of snow caps high In the upper air still and solemn glistening against the sun

America at least and it is on exhibition here a month in every year The spring Is Indeed lovely In Utah and these wellwatered welltilled valleys are none the less 8 delight and a relief as the season wears on to Its getting height and descends to its close The effect Is enhanced tenfold by their settling In the heart of a thousand mile desert full of valleys and jornadas of death and Incapable of being transformed Into another Utah from lack of water Water pre eminently the source of life In Utah I brought down the fine rich valley soil and the gentlemen of the geological survey after having approximately approxi-mately gauged Its volume say there Is enough to irrigate 2000 square miles of land What that means let me Illustrate In the province of Valencia In Spain a certain 40 square miles of land under the canals of theTarla ustains population of 70960 souls At the same rate your 2000 square miles would sustain more than 3500000 I then there should not be land enough your

100000 farms of 2 acres each Small farms are the best for the many If not for the few The necessity Irrigation will keep your farms small and encourage if not compel high farming You will always have a large unappropriated range for cattle and sheep although Utah is not a great stock I country The native bunch and other grasses are fine feed but they have no turf for the most part and are son tramped out You harvest 2500000 bushels of grain clip 1500000 pounds of wool and gain 40000 head of stock a year You may do fifty times as well as that and still have large reserves of agricultural

McCooK Called upon this natal day of our country coun-try to respond to the toas Our Living and Dead Heroes I must say that I do not understand why our heroines should not be included in this toast and I would venture the suggestion to the geutlemen who have arranged the toasts upon tnis occasion that In l all periods of the worlds history there were heroines before we had heroes and without heroines today heroes would soon cease t exist Oar Heroes Dead and Living This Is a subject so great so noble that laymen lay-men should have little to say or do with It but in commendation By pots and orators alone should the ennobling and sacred theme e handled Hence I feel yes I know how far short I shall come in doing justice today to those who have died that this country might lve and even to those heroes with whom we have to live and do with to day Heroism in our country commenced at an early period of our history or we would not be heio celebrating this Fourth of July During our colonial existence it ripened and thank God i ripens upon our soil today The heroes of the revolution have by their courage and example by their selfsacri ficing conduct taught in history our young Americans how to live and die for their country Where is the boy or girl of this period having the benefit of our public school education that cannot tell of Washington and Knox of Greene and Schuyler of Lee and Putnam of Decatur and Paul Jones Marion and Sumpter Jefferson and Adams and of the fiftysix heroes who pledged their lives their fortunes and their sacred honors in order that they and their descendants should b free We have had heroes of the revolution of the wars of 12 and 15 we have had heroes in our Irndlan war and heroes during oar late atrlcidal war Our heroes of the revolution re-volution knew well the dangers necessary to undergo the sacrifices to be made to create and form a counts but the creae heroes who stamped out rebellion in this country from 01 to 65

dead Our living heroes what shall we say of them Well I have known a goodly num berof them and it < eems to me that my task should be short here for they all seem to be able to talk for and take care of themselves The American hero that epitome of all thit Is brave Intrepid courageous daring dar-ing valiant bold gallant fearless enterprising enter-prising noble magnanimous illustrious and above
