break up the nation and then proportionably
larger subdivision Of itself the arbitrary wayS
What mysterious right to play tyran is conferred a
district OF country with it's people by merely calling 1t
slater Fellow citizens, am not asserting anything
am merely asking questions for you to consider And
now allow me to bid you farewell.
The outside display at this point honor OF the Pres
dent elect respectable but the in arrangements
for his comfort and that Of his party were sadly def
cient.
The Bates House is like beehive, standing room
can hardly be got anywhere. Only five pro
vded for the Presidential cotege and they have TO sub
init to doubling up and sleeping three and four In one
apartment SO little attention paid In the supper
room to the President elect that he obliged TO wait
nearly half hour for his slender share Of the repast
The experience of the President elect this first day
his journey has doubtlessy convinced him that the trip
to Washington viii not prove path Of roses.
Until this point reached every thing went well and
he escaped with comparatively little bodily annoyance,
but since the moment Of his arrv here he has hardly
had minute Of rest No precau having been taken
to protect him from psolent and rough curiosity he
almost overwhelmed by merciless throngs before
he reached his hotel He for a long while
found it impossible to gain an entrance into
1t, SO solidy were the starways blocked up by
an immovabe humanity and he only got in by wedgng
himself through in a determined manner.
All evening the veStlDule ana parl0rS and stair
ways were crammed much by outsiders to OBJ
struct altogether the movements of the guests No
thing else promising to satisfy the crowd, an i'm
promptu reception was opened in the main parlor
at O'Clock. The members of the Legsla-
ture were first presented, then the committees of
escort from Cincinnati and Columbus, and at last
shake of the Presidents hand was granted to
all that desired to take it, No less than three thousand
ladies and gentlemen filed past their Presidential victim
The reception continued until nine O'Clock when the Pre-
sidents WEAKNESS induced him to retire from the pubs
gaze, although the rush continued undated.
Bob was almost as much annoyed his father by the
persistency with which the curious pointed out and
loudly gave vent to their expressions respecting the
Prince of Rails.
The schemes of Office seekers hav, thus far been alto
geher foed by the monopoly of the attractions of the
President by the people at large
