address, breathing the same hosptabe and fratenal

feeling.
The applause thus far had been hearty and general
but when the Mayor announced the name OF Col.
Andrews of South Carolina it was like firing mine.
The thousands present gave more than cheer-a
cry of welcome hats were swung handkerchiefs
waved, the seated guests rose to their feet and
for minutes the great hall fairly rang and trem-
bled with q storm of genuine heartfelt joy. Col
Andrewss response was very solemn and fervent

frank and manly way. He was cheered through

enthusiasm anew As he closed the orchestra

its intensity, and l foresee the higher and
purer feeling Of jubilation which will possess all
hearts tomorrow. ! trust that the millions of our
people W no cannot be here VIII unite with us in our
gratitude and JOY, for the day We have prayed for
