Dodge: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen. Among the responses to invitations sent by the Committee of Arrangements, were letters of regret at inability to be present from President McKinley, the Governors of Maryland, Alabama and Virginia, General S. G. French, U. S. Senator S. Pasco, Major Thomas M. Woodruff, and Generals Wade Hampton and John C. Underwood.

w-citizens, we have this day abundant cause to rejoice. The presence in this city of a Lee, and with him a grandson of Grant, as a member of his military family; the thunderings of Dewey's guns in the far East, and of Sampson's and Schley's along Cuba's coast; the martyrdom of Bagley; the heroism of Hobson and the thousands of men from the North and the South, in the uniform of American soldiers, all, all, tell us that we are not a divided people, and that the Union has been, and is forever resn shall also be commemorated by a befitting monument; it will be a monument which will always recall the Maine and her human sacrifices. The world will recognize it as reared to the cause of humanity and human freedom. That monument will be free Cuba. When accomplished, let us hope that the war drums will throb no longer, and the battle flags be furled In the parliament of Man, The federation of the world. Standing upon the threshold of the twentieth century, let us trust that it w

in the year 1861, the people of the State of Florida, in convention assembled, did solemnly ordain, publish and declare: That the State of Florida hereby withdraws herself from the confederacy of States existing under the name of the United States of America, and from the existing government of said States, and that all political connection between her and the government of said States ought to be, and is hereby, totally annulled, and said union of States dissolved. And the State of Floridaed be the voice and still be the tongue that would stigmatize them and us as traitors. They and we, in the great contest, followed where honor and manhood and patriotism led. They and we rallied around the Stars and Bars, the flag of the Confederate States, and over a hundred battlefields and more that flag waved in glorious triumph, and baptized and rebaptized it was in the best blood of our land before it became the Conquered Banner. We loved it, and as evidence of our devotion we risked o

soldiery. It would be Fame's most jeweled crown and Glory's grandest temple. Once more the gates of Janus have been thrown open in America. Possibly in the fulfillment of a destiny running back through the centuries, this great liberty-loving republic had to confront upon the battlefield that spirit of inquisition and superstition which has characterized Spain through her entire history. The cruelty of Alva lives in Weyler. The spirit of the bloody Philip has been the ruling spirit at Madrid. We are witnessing a great crusade in the cause of humanity that no man can stay. We are fortified in the conflict with the knowledge that The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. In this conflict of humanity against the oldest despotism of Europe, thank God we stand as one people, with one hope, one flag, and one destiny. The Lethean waters of oblivion have washed away all bitter memories of the past. No sectional lines now mar our patriotic ardor. Our soldiers t

ens of Jacksonville. Response by Major-General Fitzhugh Lee. Major-General Fitzhugh Lee happily responded to an urgent request for words of greeting. It is regretted that his address, which was entirely extempore, cannot be given. He spoke in eloquent and forceful language of the cause for which each side had fought, involving differences which had to be settled by the sword, and by the sword were settled. Looking out, said he, to-day upon yonder tented city, we see Illinois and North Carolina, Wisconsin and Virginia under one flag, for a common cause, the only rivalry being as to which shall carry the flag further for freedom. He paid a beautiful tribute to those whom the monument commemorates, among whom were old comrades dear to him; that his first service after leaving West Point was in the company of Captain Kirby Smith, whose medallion appears on the monument.

ry section of the State and every vocation in life, but also from every age, indeed from the cradle to the grave. What a glorious record and what convincing proof that they battled for what they believed to be right. As the years come and go, their patriotic service will be remembered as long as men shall admire and love heroic virtue. Confederate veterans, survivors of the Lost Cause, you who marched with Lee and Jackson and Johnston and Bragg. You who heard the thunder of guns at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg and Shiloh, and Perryville and Chickamauga, though the cause for which you fought was engulfed in the fiery waves of war and lost, the conclusion must not be, that therefore it was unjust and wrong. The failure of a right cause does not make it wrong any more than does the success of a wrong cause make it right. If the cause for which our Revolutionary forefathers struggled for more than seven years and at last gained, had been lost, would it therefore have been wrong?

in life, and that their names are written on memory's deathless scroll. Behold the Confederate soldier! No earthly crown too brilliant to deck his brow; no monument too grand to perpetuate his memory. Though many rest in unknown graves, their heroic virtues will forever peal from mountain top to mountain top, and swell along the valleys of the entire South, Whose smallest rill and highest river Roll mingling with their fame forever. It has been said that there was a stone in Bologna that, ever since the stars sang of creation's wonders, each day absorbed the brightest sunbeams from Heaven, and to-day gleams magnificently with those accumulated treasures of untold centuries. So as the years have rolled on, and the passions of the past allayed, and the rhetoric of hate drowned in the swelling tide of a united country and admiration for heroic deeds, the record of the Confederate soldier has grown brighter, and his devotion to duty and patriotic promptings received the
new generation has come on life's stage. Flower and shrub and fruit tree make beautiful now the fields that once were made red with the blood of the soldier's heart. The States of the North and of the South, thanks to the Master, are one great and glorious Union. But, Confederate Veterans and Sons of Confederate Veterans, still I say to you, drop not from memory's roll the names of Our Heroes, and remember, especially remember, the martyrs of your own State—Ward and Lamar and Call and Parkhill and Bird and Bradford and Simmons and McLean and Pyles, and other sons of Florida, whose lives went out in war's wild tempest. Remember, also, Anderson, Finnegan, Maxwell and Beard, and Brevard and Daniel, and others, who escaped death on the field of carnage and have passed over the river since the smoke of battle cleared away. Can we forget them? No; no; no; And years may go, But our tears shall flow O'er the heroes who fought and died for us. Though I speak to you thus, my he
Oration and tender of the monument. by Colonel Robert H. M. Davidson. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Acceptance of the monument in behalf of the State of Florida by Governor William D. Bloxham, who, being introduced, spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman It becomes my pleasant task to accept, on behalf of the State, this monument, given by a warm-hearted and generous Florida soldier as a votive offering, thathe statesmanship of the world to the spirit of international arbitration. Then, Theseus will roam the world no more, And Janus rest with rusted door. Mr. Chairman, I feel that the sentiments of our entire people are voiced when I return to Comrade Charles C.
