Lindell Hotel, where the president stopped
the first instance of such an attention
since the party left Washington. The eX-
cursonists left the hotel Monday morning
under the escort of regulars, and started
for indianapolis. At different stations on
the route various demonstrations of wei
come were made, and at Terrc Haute, Ind.
the president made a speech.
On arriving at Indianapolis in the eve
ming, the party proceeded to the Bates
House under the escort of torch-light pro-
ccssion. The president was introduced to
the crowd amid much confusion, arising
from cheers for Grant. Subsequently,
Grant. FarrNgut, Seward ard Welles were
also introduced, and the excitement was in
tense on the appearance of the general.
Gen. Sol. Meredith welcomed the president
in Il speech. Mr.. johnson was received
with few groans, huzzas for johnson, cries
for Gen. Grant, and some rude remarks.

the Kisses. the taunts and the SCOTS of the
multitude That the Presidentof the Unit

conduct of our Chief Magistrate and say,
though uniustly. that such is their debasing
influence. But we turn from the sorrowful
theme, and say no more.
