"Whittenberg-, of Louisville, and delivered a speech after the ceremony, standing on the table in the center of the State reception room. His speech, which follows, was greeted with saivos of applause: 'Gov. Black, Ladies and Genttc-. mqn: Away up in Knox county, on the head-waters of the Cumberland River, there was born in an humble home, a child, reared and prufded by temperate and Christian parents, and taught the fundamental principles that go to build a great Commonwealth. "That child was also taught the ravages of the mountain dew, that liquid concoction that comes fresh from the heart of the corn and has been the means of plunging the tomahawk of the.

Ued skin deeper into the brain of the pale face; haa been. the cause of thrusting the stilletto Into the breasts of friends; has been the cause of the 44-calibers to penetrate the backs of foes, and has filled the mad houses with degenerate minds. Ambition Achieved. "Governor, you have inherited this great principle, and in the darkest hours, when it was suicidal to be a prohibitionist, you held the flickering candle in your hand and stood upon the mountain peak, and guided safely to the goal, and the crowning ambition of your life has been reached. "Not only do I have the honor to be here on this happy occasion, for one cause only, but to give my assent to the beacon light of democracy and to assist in the great democratic principle of the Jeffersoniah type which is now democratizing the whole world.

"If I had my way. I would in this coming campaign have aeroplanes scattering democratic literature and democratic principles all over the State so thick that birds would have to walk, especially Republican birds. "Some people don't think that Knox county is or was the place to raise a Governor, away up on the fimbriated end of the Cum-berland. 'Beautiful River, and beautiful it is, you have stood upon itsk banks in your childhood and looked down through its prlassy water, and have seen a heaven below, and then looked up and beheld a heaven above, reflecting Hke two mirrors, each in the other, its moons and planets and trembling stars. Great Spirit of Storm.

"There you have seen the Great Spirit of the storm after noontide, go and take its evening nap in his pavillion of darkness ot clouds. You have then seen him aroused at midnight as a giant refreshed by slumber, and cover the heavens with gloom and darkness; you have seen him awake the tempest, let loose the red lightnings that ran along the mountain tops for a thousand miles, swifter than an eagle's flight to heaven. "Then you have seen them stand up and dance like angels of light in the clouds, to the music of the grand organ of nature, whose keys seemed to have been touchect by the fingers of the Divinity in the hall of eternity, that resounded through the universe. "Then you have seen the darkness drift away beyond the horizon, and the moon get up from her saffron bed like queen, put on her robes of light, come forth from her palace in the sun. and stand tiptoe on the misty mountain-top.

and while the night fled from her glorious face to his bed chamber at the pole, she lighted the green veil and beautiful river where you were born and played in childhood. "I now stand face to face with the child that was, and the man of to-day, who has risen from his obscure home in Knox county to the highest office within the gift of his fellowmen of his native State.
