It was because he wag the nation’s ruler that he had been given the opportunity to make any remarks on this occasion. Not Abraham Lincoln, President ef the United States, but another man—Edward Everett—a noted or- ator, had been chosen as the prineipal speaker, and he spoke first. He held the crowd spellbound for two hours and newspapers the next Gay devoted port of his much masterly other man’s space to a effort. speech most re Of the newspa- pers made no mention, beyond saying that he also spoke.

It was only by chance that President Lincoln spoke at all, for had the original date chosen for the dedication been observed, it. is likely that he would have pronounced only the simple formula of official dedication. The date set was October 23, but Everett advised that he could not convenlently be there then. The dedication was postponed to November 19. No invitation was sent to the President until November 2, Then he was very formally told that “Hon.
