It would glve me pleasare to know that in my official relations I am to represent my Democratie friends, or the views of my personal friends and nelglibors ; but it givcs me far greater pleasure and pride to know that I am to represent a great moral sentiment. Our beautiful city is aUniversity city, and its future prosperity must depend largely upon the prosperity of that iustitution, with which I have been go many years connected, and to the success of which my earnest labors have been directed. Whatever COBtribatea to the prosperity of that institution, whether directly or indirectly, through the building np of our public schools, the beautlfying of our streets, or more than all tlic prevalence of a wholesome public moral sentiment, inakes our city attractive to thestranger, and contributes directly to our material prosperity. To this last cause in my ofïlcial relations I stand coiumiltud. The Issue was inade ancl I acceptect it. I rejolce witliyou at the result and agalu thanking you Deinocrats, I publicans, citizens, for your cordial support, and for this demonstration of your ííooil will, I close.
