Philadelphia,May 15.-ln the city^which placed on his brow the laurel^crown of achievement the memory of^George Washington was honored to-day^In monumental hronie. The cord which^leleased the saddling Mags from the llg-^ure of the first iiresldent was drawn by^its latest executive. Surrounding him^were men in whose veins the blood of^those patriots who battled shoulder to^shoulder with Washington and with^him made possible the scene enacted to^^day. It was a notable gathering, in^^cluding the president, vice president and^cabinet offic ers, officers and privates of^the army and navy and direct descend^^ants of the moulders and makers of the^nation.
MajorWilliam Wayne, president of^the Cine utiati, who formally presented^the monument to the city, traces his^lineage straight to Mad Anthony, and^William W. Porter, the orator of the^day. Is a gratu.sein of Kittcnhouse Por^^ter, twice 1 wernor of Pennsylvania,^and a great laudsnn of Andrew Por^^ter, who was on Washington's staff.
Theactual unveiling ceremony was^impressively simple. Bishop Whiltaker^opened with a prayer. Major Wayne^followed with an appropriate address.^Then came the unveiling by President^Mc Kinley and the resultant c lamor aug^^mented by the national salute of '.'1^guns by the artillery and by foreign^and American war vessels in the Dela^^ware.
Atsunrise the boom of cannon from^the batteries of Pulled States troops^camped In Kalrinount park aroused the^city to the greatest day in Its history.^Despite the heavy down-pour last night^the day broke under clear skies. The^decorations were lavish. Both the Ho^^tel Walton, where the president and^several meinl)ers of his cabinet ware^^housed, and the laifayette. which en^^tertained the vice presidential party,^were literally swathed in Hags atid^bunting. The ceremonies proper liegan^at noon when the parade moved from^Broad and Spruce streets under com^^mand of Major (ieneral Snowden. and^In the park It passed in review before^the president.
MayorStrong of New York chatted^with Mayor Warwick of this c ity. Dl-^rectly back of the president sat the^members of the park commission Into^whose custody the monument la to be^delivered. There was hut a brief delay^before the beginning of the ceremonies.^Bishop Whlttaker stepped to th^^speaker's table and offered up a brief^praye^. Then Major William Wayne,^president of the State and tieneral So^^ciety of Cincinnati, made a brief ad^^dress. This all occupied but a few^minutes. Then Mr. McKinley arose ac^^companied by the trustees of the statue^and crossed the driveway. As he did^so every eye was strained to the huge^figure appareled in the stars and
suggestedMown. He would have no^honor which the people did not l*-stow.^An interesting fact^and one Hitch I^lev- 1,1 reran^h that the only time^Washington formally addiosseil the^constitutional assembly ov.r which he^presided in thia city he appealed^for a larger representation of the peo^^ple In the national house of representa^^tives, and his appeal was Instantly^heedecl. Thus he was ever keenly^watchful of the rights of the people In^whose hands was the desllny of our^government thin as now. Masterful as^were his military campaigns, his civil^administration commands n|ual admir^^ation. His foresight was marvelous:^his cone ephon of the philosophy of gov^ernment. his Insistence upon the neote-^; ^\ of education, morality and enllght-^c n^d citlienshlp to the progress an4^permanence of the republic cannot ha^contemplateel. even at this period, with*^out tilling us with astonishment at the^breadth of his comprehension at the^sweep of his vision. His was no narrcevv^view of government. The immediate^present was not his sole concern, but^our future goeMi his constant theme of^study. He blaied the path of liberty.^He lalel the foundation upon which we^have grown from a weak and colonial^government to a united government,^whose power as well as whose lileerty^and freedom have become the admira^^tion of the world. Distance anil time^have not detracted from the fame and^force of his achievements nor diminish^^ed the granduer of his life and work,^tlreat deeds do not stop In their growth^and those of Washington will expand^In Influence in all the centuries to fol-^le.w.
Thebequest that Wuslilnglcin has made^In e Iv Illzatlon is rich beyond computation.^The-obligations under which lie has placed^mankind are sacred and commanding.^The responsibility lie left for I he American^people to piese-tve .mil pe-rft - t what he^accomplished is exacting and solemn, l.ei^us rejoice at I very new evident,- thai the^people- re alize w hat they enjoy .mil cher^^ish with affection the Illustrious heroes^of the revolutionary story whose valor^and saeijtie es made us a nation.
