; C. Itlack, now United Stutt-s attorney I for the Northern district ol Illinois, de livered an oration. Gen. John C. Black spoke in part as

I follows:

Gen. Hlack's Oration.

"He who stands at Yorktown sees, not the

' lowlands and tumbling sea, but there arise ; \nnm; lion. Andtew

before him Washington and Lafayette and ! the United Armies of France and America: j at Bunker Hill stands Warren's slender j form: at Valley Forge the worn and starv- | Ing continentals; at Vicksburg, Grant and Logan, McPherson and Sheridan. McCTel- ! Ian and Blair, and the Invincible besiegers; at Gettysburg. Hancock and Meade and Doubleday and Sickels; over against them Lee and Longstreet and Pickett and 150,000 struggling men: at Appomattox, Grant and a vast host and a gallant quarry!

Such Men Never Die.

"They will not die from among us: they j throng our exalted stations; they point to j glorilled battle plains and to high soaf- | folds, where they paid the last obligations to right; they sentinel the long and growing highways of fame; they cluster around ' heroic epochs, made noble by their speech or written words of unselfish deed; they are the better angels of our national life, and prompt to highest purpose and noblest devotion, to love the country and her

cause.

"Grant could not have conquered, nor any that 1 have named of any of our heroic dead have risen to glory, had our armies been of different material: but now, officer and man, they are blended one and imperish-

able.

Ascent to Succcss. "Beginning with Donelson, to the closing campaign in Virginia, Grant trod the ascending round of success and glory, until at last he stood the embodiment of the purpose of the people In the camp, as Lincoln was in the cabinet, holding the sword of tho whole union power, lifting It above the prostrate purposes and broken fortunes of a defeated people, whbse every hope was gone, and forever! Ruin In their fields; ashes on their hearthstones; their social systems uprooted; their warriors dead; their sons reduced to dally toll. "They drank the bitter cup they had brewed, and the world wondered what would be the fate of the fallen. All history contains no nobler answer than fell from the lips of the victorious general: 'Go In peace—keep your honor, observe the laws of the land, till the soil, build up anew your broken fortunes and be dutiful Amer-

ican ctttxens.'

"The surrender at Appomattox was made to an eagle—not to a vulture; to a lion, not to a prowling boast of carnage; to an American citizen, and not to a vulgar conqueror. Valor and devotion gave up the contest to sublime purpose and Inflexible will; the lost cause surrendered lo destiny and the manifest purposes of Almighty God. Lee, the Incarnation of the highest purposes of his people, yielded to Grant, the silent, Inflexible, unalterable will of the

American republic.

Honors Fall l pon Him, "A grateful country, loving comrades, admiring citizens, twice elevated him to the chief magistracy. With the traditions and forces of a great war. from which his fame ' id sprung all around him, what was to be the Inlluence he should exert upon his fellow citizens and the Institutions of the land? What would this soldier, bursting from camps upon the attention of the world, do with the enormous power intrusted to his hands? What he did do f jrnlshes the best answer to the question. "Character such as that of Grant was slow In growth; not attracting public attention, known only to the most Intimate 01 his companions, and not fully comprehendtd by them; It was accretion to a rock: when the hour came for Us display It was found ringed and banded by all the surroundings of his life.

Grant the Grand.

"How true he was to friends all know. Ills word was 'pledged at Appomattox to the southern soldiery, and at a Inter day, when it was proposed to Ignore the terms he had made, he stood like a lion for those who had trusted Ids word—and saved them. Whe n he discovered that his purposes were opposed by constitutional authority he bowed his crested head and let the Island of Ban Domingo go. He upheld the tradltionsof his country and announced, as the Illustrious before and since him have done, that on American soli there was room only for

American Institutions.

"And now we have assembled about his statue three-quarters of a century after his birth, and while the recollections of him still abide with many living witnesses, to renew our regard and tell our affection for him whose ashes are treasured by our distant countrymen In historic urn at the gateway from the sea to the land he helped to keep—let them guard his ashes! Here Is the threshold over which he stepped to fame! This the town that was his home, and this the state that upheld him throughout every moment of his prosperity and greatness! The thronging thousands who shall lift careful eyes to the monument at Riverside shall see beside It a figure pointing over mountain and plain and saying. I ‘Be who sleeps here was a son of Illinois, I and from her mighty nurturing arms rose to continental stature and boundless

| fame.’ ”
