Excerpt from Oration Delivered at the Centennial Celebration of Cleveland, Ohio, on Perry's Victory Day, September 10, 1896 The anniversaries now occurring in many parts of the country furnish admirable opportunities for the examina tion of the results of generations of effort. To recall the services of patriots in behalf of the community, in peace and in war, educates the present generation for similar emergencies. Attention is drawn to what has already been accomplished. Comparison is made with the results secured by neighboring communities. What has been gained inspires the desire for greater advantages. A com munity extending its in uence to distant parts of the earth awakens a natural pride on the part of its units. The power of the Eternal City caused the announcement Civis Romanus sum to stand for ages as a guaranty ofconsideration and protection throughout the civilized world. It was a happy circumstance that caused the settlement of the Western Reserve upon the nation's birthday. With true American spirit the little band of pioneers, under the leadership of Moses Cleaveland, celebrated that to them important fourth of July. Toasts indicating thankfulness for the past and hope for the future were announced in the customary manner. Good punch was provided. The President of the United States was remembered, in accord ance with time-honored custom. Port of Independence they named Conneaut, the place where the celebration was held. May the Port of Independence and the fifty sons and daughters who have entered it this day be successful and prosperous, they hopefully offered. May these sons and daughters multiply in sixteen years sixteen times fifty, again expressed their anticipations. It is recorded that after the celebration, notwithstanding the effect of the punch, they retired in good order.
