When the applause following Mayor Ochs’ speech had ceased, Senator Bates, of Ten- nessee, delivered an eloquent oration. He was heartily applauded. Next came mu- |sic by the band. The meeting then ad- journed. When Gen. Grosvenor had finished, | Governors Morton, of New York; Wood- | bury, of Vermont; Matthews, of Indiana, and Turney, of Tennessee, each made short talks. Gov. Turney caused some- thing of a sensation in his speech. It came about in this way: Gov. Woodbury said that during the war each side believed it was right, but that now the Southern people would have to teach their children the South was wrong. Governor Turney took exception to this in his speech. “I believed I was right during the four years and nineteen days I served in the Confederate army,” he said, “and at the end of that time I thought I was right. I still think I was right, and shall teach my children so. No one is more loyal to the Stars and Stripes than I, and no one is more loyal to the government, but I never can be con- vinced that the South was wrong.” This rather frank expression caused a great stir inthe audience, and when the meeting adjourned, was the topic of general conversation on all sides.
