The honored guest was welcomed to the city by

piled in happy vein. In the evening Mr.
Crittenden was escorted by a large procession
to Covington, where he was most heartily and
enthusiastically received. There were thou
sands of people in attendance, with band of
music, transparencics, banners and torches, and
no demonstration of love and respect for their
distinguished citizen was omitted. The well
come speech was delivered by Judge w. B.
Kincad, who warmly endorsed Mr.. Crttenden S
course in the recent session of Congress, and the
sentiment was loudly checred by the multitude.
Mr.. Crittenden replied somewhat briefly, and
did not make any extended remarks upon polit-
ical affairs. He took, occasion, however, to
condemn the reckless extravaganza of the adj
ministration, and predicted that direct taxation
would be the inevitable result.
