With undivided sentiment and uni

v ho In private life has gladdened his

public station has lightened the bur
d-ns and helped him to me*t the ex
actions of a long and distinguished
public career; ever encouraged his
laudable ambitions, and now shares
with him their full fruition. The of
fice of President of the Fnlted States is
n great office. N'o more exalted sta
tion can lie attained by human ambi
tion in human affairs. Beyond it there
is no higher altitude to Incite desire
and effort. It should command—lt
does command—our respect and vener
ation. He who is called to fill it is
entitled to the sympathy and support
of all the people In whatever promotes
the common weal. To him who has
heen called to represent Its dignity, to
wield its powers, to discharge its
functions, we cheerfully and with one
accord pay our tribute. We honor
him for what he is and all that he of
ficially represents. Sir: you have

have looked upon greater concourses
of your fellow-countrymen, hut when
ever you have gone, wherever you may
go, we venture to claim that, nowhere
have you found, nowhere will you find,

life move generous in their sympathy,
more ardent in their attachment to the
“principles’of th* government of which

Th* President was given a magnifi
cent ovation when h* arose to speak
and was frequently applauded. He said:
The President's Speech.
Mr. Chairman. My Fellow Cltjxcns:
I have been received by man peo
ple and in many places, west and north,
and south aod east, but nowhere have
I had a welcome that has given me
greater pleasure than you extend to me
here today. I wish It wan In my pow
er to maty- suitable response to the
gracious and eloquent words of hin)
whom you have chosen to speak In your
behalf .my old friend, whom 1 met for
the first time In the congress of the
United States. It Is Indeed an honor
totne, and one that shall never la* for
gotten to stand In the jdaee associated
with the names of Washington and
Lafayette and Clay and Webster. It
is also a pleasure to me to be in the
city where the gallant cavalry officer,
General Joe Wheeler was born. (Ap
plause.) It is a pleasure to me to meet
in this welcome these veterans of the
gray, these ex-Confederate soldiers,
(applause), and to feel that In common
with the veterans of the blue and all
their fellow citizens they are In heart
touch with the alms and purposes of
this great republic. (Applause.)
What a wonderful country we have!
With what pride the contemplation of
its history Alls us all! When Wash
ington was here we had a little over
3,000,000 of people: we hate J 8,000,000 to
day. We have added vastly to our ter
ritory. We are today the largest man
ufacturing and the largest agricultural
nation of the world. (Applause.) Our
commerce floats on every sea, and only
day before yesterday I saw' that a thou
sand tons of shill plates had been land
ed in Glasgow, Scotland, and what is
even more significant, It was carried
upon a ship bearing the American flag.
(Applause.)
My fellow citizens, I congratulate
you on the prosperity of the country, f
const atulate you on the progress it has
made In the last third of a century, but
I congratulate you even mote because
as a. people we are united and more de
voted to national purposes and more
imbued with the true national spirit

In closing. Oeneral Wheeler referred
to the distinguished commander of the
forces at Santiago, and there were calls
for Gen. Shatter.
General Shatter.
General Shatter said he accepted this
grand expression as a measure of love
for the army he recently commanded
In Cuba. He was delighted to see his
old friends, the confederates, but Iw.
must say he never gazed upon them
with such a feeling of aecurlty as
! now.
Secretary Alger.
Secretary Alger was next given a de
monstration. He had heard tbo old
yell many a time, he said, hut he was
not a hit afraid of It now. He con
gratulated the city upon its great pros
l>ertty as evidenced by Its manufactur
ing interests.
He congratulated the nation and the
soldiers upon the beautiful camp here.
We will leave them with you for a
time, said lie.
Secretary Long.
Secretary Long said he rejoiced in
this expression of loyalty not as a
stranger, but as a citizen.
Secretary Gage.
Secretary Gage said, what more can
be added? The words of your speaker
has left nothing to be said. Your
hearty demonstration testifies to the
earnestness of the welcome he expres
sed.
Postmaster General Smith.
Postmaster Genera! Smith Aaid he
would add the exifresaion of hi* thanks
for the magnificent demonstration. He
saw- with special satisfaction those
magnificent temples of industdy that
demonstrated the prosperity of this
city.
The president came not alone with
the right hand of fellowship, but with
a policy that would give new outlets
for the products of the great Industries
of the south.

The men seem much disappointed
over the reception given them in the
city yesterday.
i They say the crowd was not near as
large as they expected., and that it gave
them the eldest reeeptlon they have
ever had.
Although the hoys did not notice lt,
we can assure them they have a warm
place in the hearts of the citizens and 1
that each and every one who witnessed
the parade feel Indebted to those who
were kind enough to march in it, for
the benefit of the spectators.
The dance which will be given by the
officer* of Camp Mackenzie tonight at
the arsenal promises to be one of tNe
events of the season, and a large num
ber will be In attendance.
The cavalrymen received a neat
compliment yesterday and one which
they should appreciate, as lt came from
one who has reviewed, thousands of
troops. As one of the troops passeil
in front of the stand, the crowd surged
forward, making the vacant space toq
nai row for the troop to pass through
abreust.

difficulty, gave the command, “fours

Anything lookout toaard aiding th*

If tbliig* *v»r* l*t alow* for a tlia*

his right*, and possibly solve the prob-
Irtn In natural manner.
The situation In South Carolina was
given ns an Illustration. Politically
the white Republican* in that state are
known a* the “Lilly White*." With
in the past few year* a large number
of eolton mill* have been established
in thi* state. The rapita'. to a larg*
extent has com* dowti from N*w Eng

naturally Republican. A number of
other manufacturing tnlereata have
been established. Th* capitalists Iden-
I tilled with these are Republicans. In
addition to these are th* Gold Demo
crats. respectable Iti numbers. These
with the regular white Republicans,
were sufficient to make quite an organ
ization. This organizations has had
representatives at Washington for the
past two w*(ks. They frankly any that
the situation Is one for party politics
and not legislation.
The "Lily Whites" sent a delegation
to the Republican convention In St.
Louis In lAB6. This delegation was
thrown out and the delegates repre
senting the Black organization was
seated. This discouraged the "Lily
Whites” very much. They went back
home, however, and made a brave ef
fort to keep their organization, togeth
er. They say now that the recent race
riots arc the part of an effort to drive
all the gold Democrats and as many
timid white Republicans as possible
back Into the Democratic party. In
brief, the Democrats of the South are
viciously playing no race prejudices tn
strengthen their party organization.
As a matter of fact. 95 per rent of the
office holders of South Carolina are
whites. The five per cent are so scat
tered that the black offlccrholders ar*
really insignificant.
The President Arrive*
Washington, Dec. 20.—The President
and party returned to Washington at
11:30 today from kfeelr Southern trip.
The ride through Virginia this morn
ing was uneventful. Mrs. McKinlej'
was somewhat better today, and the
other members of the party were tn
good health.
The President expressed entire satis
factlon over the trip. This sentiment
wes concurred In by every member of
the cabinet. The general Impression
prevailed that the trip developed, to a
wonderful degree, good feelings be
tween the north and south.
