Excerpt from Oration Democracy and Education Your Honor and Fellow Citizens: The Irish people among many beautiful legends have this: That the great O'Donoghue, though he died and was buried far from his native land, was brought back by angels to home and fatherland, there to rest in an unfrequented glen nearby his dear Killarney awaiting the time when, his country demanding his splendid services, he shall arise from the grave and lead his embattled hosts once more to victory. Strange and fantastic though this legend appears, it is nevertheless true. Our great ones lead us from the grave. The spirit of the past abides with the present and controls the destinies of the future. And in these stirring post-bellum days of restoration and readjustment, the American people must not confound reconstruction with revolution. We must be loyal to the traditions of the past.
