lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSEl
FABYAN HOUs N. H., Aug. 20.-The President
and his party have passed thoroughly enjoyable
day. The weather superb. At all the villages
between Windsor and the mountains enthusiastic
crowds greeted him, and in the larger towns there
were flags and bands Of music to give added effect
to the demonstrations of welcome. At Lttleton the
President made one of the happiest of his brief ex-
tempore speeches, mounting stand erected on the
depot platform and-as he has done several times
before-managing the meeting himself and intro
ducing the members of his Cabinet with some felic-
ltous remarks about each.
The New-IIampshire party, coming from Plymouth
this morning, joined the Presidents train at Wells
River on the Vermont border. 1t comprised Gov.
Prescott, Senators Wadeigh and Rollins, many of
the judges and State officers, and number of other
persons of prominence in State politics. Including
the ladies there sxty-hree persons in the united
party that left Wells River for the mountains.
The ascent of Mount Washington was made this
afternoon and unusually clear day gave the party
a perfect view of the whole sweep of landscape.
Mr.. Hayes lad been up four times before, but
since the railroad was built. Secretary EvaIts's
last ascension was made on horseback thirty years
ago. Coming down the mountain towards nightfall
the party returned to the Fabyan House in time for
supper.
At the reception this evening an address, signed
by most of the gentlemen stopping at the hotel was
presented to the President. 1t gives a hearty ap-
proval to his Southern policy and to his efforts to
reform the Civil Service. The sgners include Demo-
Gratis as well Republicans, and represent at least
a dozen different States. Some of the New-Hamp-
shire politicians were disposed to object to the pres
entation Of the paper but Mr.. Evarts, who was
spoken to on the subject, said that Of course it
would be received. This incident Is the most sig
nifcant one of the trip in political point Of view.
