Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inauguration of the Perry Statue: September 10, A. D. 1885, With the Addresses of William P. Sheffield, and the Remarks in Receiving the Statue by Governor Wetmore and Mayor Franklin, With the Speeches at the Dinner, of the Governor, Mayor, Hon. George Bancroft, Justices Blatchford and Du The people of Newport had long thought that it was due the memory of Oliver Hazard Perry, that a statue of him should be erected in some conspicuous place within their corporate limits, to commemorate his name and his achievement on Lake Erie. This subject was occasionally brought to the public attention, sometimes by allusion in public discussion, and sometimes through the medium of the press, from the time of his death up to 1882, and some fifteen or more years since a petition numerously signed by the people of Newport was presented to the General Assembly for an appropriation for a statue; the subject of the prayer of the petition was commended to the favorable consideration of the Assembly, but the time of this presentation was inopportune, for the people were then severely burthened by the war-taxes, both National and State, and the Assembly was disinclined to impose upon the people of the State additional burdens even to promote so meritorious an object as the erection of a statue to the memory of Commodore Perry. The subject of the prayer of these petitioners was repeatedly afterwards urged upon the attention of the Assembly, but the matter rested in the files of the House, until the House, tired of its presence, struck it from its docket.
