Excerpt from Albany and Its Place in the History of the United States
These selections are all admirable. It is eminently proper that the Governor of the State should be invited to deliver the oration on an occasion that has to do so intimately with the history of this noble Commonwealth. While not a finished orator, Governor Hill is a strong and practical talker, and he will deliver an address full of interest and valuable as a study of American municipal history.
