From Western Row to the Depot, 9Th St.,
vas densh mass Of human beings, and from
he Depot to Mihcreek, and still further below
he road was lined and densely packed by
men women and children.
The large residences on Sixth street, below
Mound, and the yards fronting, being locn-
ed upon high embankments, presented such |
IN array Of ladies that far surpassed anything
IF the character that we had ever before
seen.
1t is estimated that upwards Of thirty thou
sand people were assemblcdin the vicinity OF
The Railroad Depot.
At 5 o'clock the cannon announced the APP |
proach of the train, the crowd made rush
to the Depot, but were prevented from enter
ing by stfong police force. The doors OF
the Depot were thrown open, and the cars
entered amidst the firing of cannon and the
shouts of the multitude. R
Gov. Kossuth was then introduced to the
Reception Committee of this city, by the
committee from the Legislature. He was
escorted 10 the platform erected in Il e De-
pot. Then followed Madame Kossuth, Mad
anne Pulszky and the suite of Kossuth, who
were escorted to the platform.
His Honor Mark P. Taylor, then delivered
q short but eloquent address, the last part Of
which is reported as follows.
Iwss called upon few days since to visit
an aged lady now lying at the verge of death,
who requested me to hand to you this a.
mount, 1926, as her contribution to the cause
of Hungary. Another lady, poor widow,
gave me one dollar as her contribution, stat
ing at the same time, although it was tine
widows mite, the widows prayer accompa-
MED it,"
1.-THE amount was then handed to Cover
nor Kossuth.|
And now, Sir, 10 behalf of the authorities
of our city, and their masters, the people, |
bid you welcome 10 the Queen City Of the
West, for notwithstanding you very properly
object 10 the title, we cannot believe in using
it here that we compromise any principle Of
Republicanism.
In applying it to city like ours, SO far as
the title of Queen applies to individuals, our
people would not only blot the word from
The vocabulary, but they would strike from
existence the thing that claims by right to
wear that title.
Again, l bid you welcome as our city
guest Y
In reply, Kossu,h said that the loss of his
voice, and the feeble condition of his health
prevented him from making epeech then.-
When the Mayor stated this to the assem-
blage, three times three cheers were then Civ
en- for Kossuth and Mad. Kossuth.
During the cheering Kossuth stood calm
and dignifed, and apparently worn out with
fatigue. Mad. Kossuth waved her handker-
chief to the multitude, which was received
with immense cheering.
Amidst the vociferous shouts of the peo.
pile Kossuth was escorted to the carriage.
In the first carrirge were Madames Kos
suth and Pulszky and two of the suite.
In the second, Kossuth, His Honor Mark
P. Taylor Mayor of the city, w. B. Cassily
President OF the City Council, Judge Hoad-
ley Chairman Of the Committee Of Recep.
tion, and Gov. Wood.
Then followed carriages containing the
Committee of Reception and Committee Of
Council.
