Another Tremendous Ovation.
CaARLorrEvTLLE, VA, September q
This morning the President and party
were escorted to the depot by the militia
~ and a large concourse Of people. Just
before the train started the President
briefly addressed the crowd, eKpressini
great qualification at the enthusiastic re
ception. He had expected hearty
greeting, but the popular reception hat
far surpassed his expectations. Th'
train lett the depot amid cheers Of thr
multitude.
When the train arrived at CUVesyille,
len miles from Charlottesville, q commit,
Tee Of citizens from the latter place mel
the President and party.
At Charlottesville the reception was
similar 10 that at LinchburR.
A large crowd received the distinguish.
ed visitors with cheers and music. The
Mayor Of Charlottesville rendered the
hospitAlitieS Of the city TO the President
who returned thanks. The President and
party were then conveyed to the Farish
Houle, from the portico Of which the
President was presented 10 the crowd BY
Col. Charles s. Yenable.
The President spoke As follows:
Ladies and Gtaiirmea, aad Nv Frieads Of
Charlottesville and ARenaHe County We
accepted your invitation with great
pleasure, and il now gives me great graf.
itication to exchange salutatiors. We
are now at the end Of our appointments
during which We have passed through
i've Of the greatest States Of the Union,
four Of which were large slaye.holding
States, and that which reioices me more
than anything else "a the fact that, every.
where we have found growing and in
creating sentiments in behalf Of the
Union, the Constitution and an admins.
tration which regard. alike the Interests
and rights OF every section and every
State, which regards alike and equally
all classes without distinction OF race or
color. The equality under The laws OF
all citiaens il the cornerstone Of ths
structure Of restored harmony from
which ancient friendship is to rise. |
an going IN the pathway where
your illustrious men led, your Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, and your Washington.
Oar hope ia that the people OF the whole
country will unite 10 re.establish the
feeling which prevailed when the union
was formed. We wish to see the har.
mony that the fathers gaze. us pre-.
served and transmitted 10 thosa who
come after US. This is the work ol your
future. Uniting in sentiments like these
there ia no reason why there should b.
any distinction between the North and
South. That wise man whose home was
here saw plainly the danger in the future.
Jefferson, in 1920. during the Missouri
controversy, spoke Of the agitation Of
that question rs the Gre bell in the night.
ladn= time the danger he so clearly fore.
saw, came upon US. The efforts at CON.
promise, by wise and patriotic men, de.
layed the snbject from time 10 time, but
in the course of events the question had
to be submitted to the arbitranent Of
war. You who fought SO CALAMITY on
many a battlefield, fought for what
you believed to lie right, aud no
man or woman can fail to respect YOU.
We fought and risked our lives for our
convictions, and we are sure you will &C.
cord the same respect to us that VIC accord
TO you. Let us join hands together and
go forward. Many cannot follow, for
they are not ready 10 follow, but we have
noiu will for them. A grand army goes
on without regard tostraglers. j doubt
not, as the months 20 on, that we will
once more return to the harmony OF our
fathers.
After a few remarks by Secretary
EVarts and the Postmaster General the
visitors were taken in carriages to the
University Of Virgins, where some time
was spent in inspecting the building and
enjoying the hoSpitalities Of the managers
Of the institution. They were next driven
to Monticello, the former house Of JelT.r.
son, alter which they returned here and
took dinner at the Parish House. They
left at 4 P. N. for Washington.
