ADDRESS
OF
PRESIDENT McKINLEY,

AT THE DEDICATION OF

The Grant Monument,

NEW YORK,

April 27, 1897.

WASHINGTON:
1897.

Fellow-Citizens:

A great life, dedicated to the welfare of the Nation, here finds its earthly coronation. Even if this day lacked the impressiveness of ceremony and was devoid of pageantry, it would still be memorable, because it is the anniversary of the birth of one of the most famous and best-beloved of American soldiers.
