The president, who was accompanied by Colonel Hemphill, was given a tre mendous ovation Dy tne audience, iie ipoke In part as follows: "Other parts of the country have had their public thanksgivings and jubilees in honor of the historic events of the past year, but nowhere has there been greater rejoicing than among the peo ple here, the gathered representatives ot the south. I congratulate them upon their accurate observation of events which enabled them to fix a date which insured them the privilege of being the first to celebrate the sign ing of the treaty of peace by the American and Spanish commissioners. Under hostile lire on a foreign soil, fighting in a common cause, the mem ory of old disagreements has faded Into history. From camp and campaign there onmps thf. mnrHr, nnnllnf- wnlnn has closed ancient wounds and effaced their scars. For this result every American patriot will forever rejoice. It Is no small Indemnity for the cost of war. "This government has proved Itself invincime in tne recent war ana out of It has come a nation which will remain Indivisible forevermore.

Who will haul It down? "The peace we have won t nni selfish truce of arms, but one whose conditions presage good to humanity. The domains secured under the treaty yet to be acted upon by the senate came to us not as the result of a cru Bade of conquest, but as the reward "ot temperate, faithful and fearless re sponse to the call of conscience, which could not be disregarded by a liberty loving and Christian people. "The task Is not fulfilled. Indeed, It Is only Just begun. The most serious work Is still before us, and every energy of heart and mind must be bent and the Impulses of partisanship sub ordinate to Its faithful execution.

"We could have avoided all the dif ficulties that lies across the pathway of the nntlon If a few months ago we had coldly Ignored the appeals of the starving and oppressed Inhabitants of Cuba. If we had blinded ourselves to tho conditions so near our shores and turned a dnf ear to our suffering neighbors the Issue of territorial ex pansion tn the Antilles and the East Indies would not have been raised. "But could we have Justified such a course? Is there any one who would now declare another to have been the better course? With less humanity and less courage on our part the Span ish ting, instead of the Stars, and Stripes, would still be Moating at Ca vite. at Ponce and at Santiago, and a 'chance in the race of life' would be wanting to millions ot human beings who today call this nation noble and who, I trust, will live to call It Blessed. Thus far we have done our supreme duty, Shall we now, when the victory won In war Is written in the treaty of peace and the civilized world applauds and waits In expectation, turn timidly away from the duties Imposed upon the country by Its own great deeds?"
