LEWISTON, Penn, Sept. 1S.-This evening a
large crowd assembled at Lewiston junction.
and when the train going west arrived cheers
were given for Greeley, while a band in atten-
dance played patriotic airs. Greeley appeared
on the rear platform and was introduced "as the
next president of the United States" He re-
marked that MIR. Greeley had spoken so fire.
quenuy to-day that he could say only few
words to night. The crowd again cheered Mr..
Greeley, who said:
FeilOtO citizens You are, as | am aware
still ready to exchange words of greeting and
ofpatriotic companionship, and feel sure all of
YOU equally with myself, desire the highest good
of our common country. (Cheers). Let me only
express the hope, without prejudice or partialty,
Without hatred or wrath toward any section,
that you will so act as to secure the happiness OF
the people. Unite them ali n a common cause that
our country, great and prosperous and free, may
go forward in triumph until time shall be no
more. (Applause)
Ex-Governor Randolph of New Jersey, and
Ex-Governor Bigler OF Pennsylvania, made short
addresses, promising the electoral votes of their
respective states by large majority for Greeley
and Brown.
Owing.to the noise at the junction, including
the screeching Of locomotive whistles, some of
the words of Mr.. Greeley could not distinctly be
heard, and the train moved off while Greeley
stood on the platform, amid the huzzahs OF the
people and music of the band.
Mr. Greeley, who is en- route to deliver an adj
dress tomorrow at the state agricultural society
at Indiana, Penn, had previously been enthusi
asticaily cheered at many places where the train
stopped, and delivered short speeches at Lancas-
ter and Harrisburg. In the course of the latter
he said: | stand before my friends the candi-
date of universal amnesty. fought the battle
ofmpartial suffrage until victory is won; and
now demand the pledge Of the national gov
eminent that every man now DISTINGUISHED be
relieved by perfect amnesty. (Applause.)
We had clear promise of that amnesty
in the platform OF the republican party Of 1868;
that promise has not yet been performed |
stand here to demand that it shall be. tGreat
applause) Ii could assure the success of am
nesty better by ceasing to be the candidate |
would gladly do so. | desire only that our dis
tranchised, prescribed fellow citizens may be
welcomed back under the folds Of the national
flag, which in an unwise hour they deserted;
that they Shall be welcomed back not as peni-
tents, but as fellow citizens who have seen the
error OF their ways and have renewed their allie
giance in faith 10 the country; on that platform,
and with that purpose, l stand be-
fore you; and, fellow citizens, be
eheered by the truth that victory
belongs to us. National hatred, bitter Thoughts
OF the rebellion, and all these things must neces
sarily die away, and dying, make echoes feebler
and teebler. The day cannot be far distant
when we shall rejoice in a restored nationality
so universal, so perfect, that there shall be no
man under the flag of the American nation
who is not perfectly protected beneath its folds.
(Applause.) In that phase, in that spirit, bid
you, friends and fellow citizens, kindly and
atfectionate farewell. Applause and prolonged
cheers.)
