Excerpt from An Address Commemorative of the Life and Services of George D. Robinson: Governor of the Commonwealth, 1884-86 Before introducing Mr. Lodge to deliver the address in special commemoration of Governor Robinson, a son of Lexington, Mr. Clapp spoke as follows: - Fellow-citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen, - As President of the Society under whose auspices the annual observance of this day by the town is directed, it is my pleasant duty to invite you to review once more the lessons in loyalty and unselfish devotion to country which the Nineteenth of April teaches, and to thank the distinguished guests here to-day for the honor of their presence. The wealth of historical treasure with which Lexington is endowed, though held dearest by her citizens themselves, is the glory and inspiration of Massachusetts as well, - yes, of our whole country. And so it is fitting that the acting Governor of the Commonwealth, and a Senator from Massachusetts prominent in the counsels of the nation, should be here gratefully to lay a tribute of respect on the graves of the patriots of 1775, and to reverence a conspicuous example of manhood which the fruits of their services have given to the generation of to-day. To our guests I may be permitted to say that in coming to pay their homage at Liberty's shrine they follow in the footsteps of distinguished predecessors.
