tho world's fair dedication to-day
Chatincey M. Dex!W, of Now York, ad
vanced to tho front and delivered tho
oration on Columbus, essentially as
follows:
This day belongs not
to America, but to tho
world. Tho results of

Ilut for the first. Columbus would nou-rhavo
sailed, but for tho second, thoro would havo
boon no placo for tho planting, tho nurture and
the expansion of civil nnd rollglous liberty.
The anr.rchy and chaos which followed tho
breaking up of tho Itomtn omplro necessarily
produced tho f nodal system. Tho people pre
ferring slavery to annihilation by robber chiefs,
becamo the vassals of torrltorlal lords. Tho
rolgn of physical forco Is ono of pcrpotual
struKKlo for tho mastery. Power which rests
upon tho sword neither share? nor limits Its
authority, Tho king destroyod tho lords, nud
tho monarchy succeeded feudalism Neither of

wus ready for tho philosopher who procl ilmcd
tho truths of the solar system, or tho navigator
who would prove tho sphericity or tho .oartn.
An English Gladstone, or o Trench Gamuctta,
or a (Icrmtn lllsmarclc or an Italian Garibaldi,

with rapt attention by all within hear

This dny Is dedicated by tho American poople
to one whoso n into Is Indlssolubly linked with

glories to him whose prophetic vision behold In
tho Btura which guided his audaolous voyage a
new world and u now hope for tho peoples ot
tho ourth.
The four centuries pissing in roviow havo
witnessed tho settlement of u newly discovered

tho establishment in this country of more than
sixty millions of peoplo whao wonderful ma

Interest and compelled tbo admiration ot tho

Thoso centuries havo evolved tho llbcrty-lov-las

With i.s builders ut illles, founders of states,
dwellers lu tho forest tlllori ot tho noil, tho
mechanic nnd tho artisan, nnd noblo women,
d.ugl.'crsof tho republic, not less in patriotism
unil desorvod esteem than thoso who seem to
play tho turgor part In building up a state.
Thcro aro gathered hero our cabinet and
stately senate, our grave nn I limned Judges,
our congress and our states tint all miaktnd
may know this Is a nation's holiday and a p;o
plo's tributo to him whose dauntlots coura ;e und

was salutod on Its course by thvt baouor whlult

Thoso foreign uttlons which have, contributed
so much to our growth will hero loam wherein

was no possibility of return, required tho zeal
