Excerpt from Addresses by the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew LL. D: On the Occasion of the Celebration of the Birthday of Abraham Lincoln at Burlington, Vermont, Feb; 12th, 1895, at the Commencement Exercises of the University of Chicago, April 1st, 1895, and at His Birthday
The pleasure of appearing before you this after noon is great, but marred by circumstances. I had supposed the occasion was to be the usual recrea tion forabusy man of the after-dinner speech which pleasantly occupies the mind without tiring it. To have it transformed into an afternoon address or oration means a preparation, or the use of the Hor atian method of the file and thumb-nail, and my conditions made that impossible. You will pardon the absence of formality and accept the earnest ness with which I approach a subject so grand in it self as the hero whose memory gwe celebrate, and principles so enduring and vivifying as those of the party of which he is the greatest ornament.
