The fact that Mr.. Deyens and are here

cal parties. They have endorsed The
Constitution and all Of It's amendments.
The people have been placed by the Presi.

Secretary EVarts was then introduced.
He said:
Ladis and Gentlemea-When the ioun-
ders Of this Government formed II they
laid its support sure in civil and relig-
ious liberty, and insisted upon the entire
separation Of Church and State. They
were guilty Of no such folly as would CON.
found freedom in religion with freedom
from religion. They wantel that there
should be one seat Of united power and
that in the hearts OF the people. They we're
a religious people themselves, and knew
no method by which men could be capa-
ble Of self.government but when they
had been made capable OF governing them.
selves. They insisted though there were
a diversity Of gifts, yet there should be
the same spirit. Now, in this beautiful
scene, where all that makes nature and
men worthy OF visitors is found, we have
seen nothing wanting in the magnifcence
Of our reception. As we have ridden
through your magnificent State we have
seen, as 1t were, that the mountains
skipped for Joy, and now literally the
hills have clapped their hands. The his
tory Of this people shows that there was
never profounder saying than "Who
has not much meditated OF God and man
will ever be nought but a laundering
patriot and sorry statesman"
Gov. Prescott was then introduced, and
he responded by introducing Mrs. Hayes,
who was received with hearty applause.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Barrows, and
amid singing the party was escorted to
the cars and they proceeded on their way,
stopping for moment at Lake Village
and LaConia.
At Tilton platform had been erected
and the President and his Cabinet we're
escorted TO it, and the President was in.
troduced by Gov. Prescott. After music
by lie band, President Hayes said:
Friends and FEIiotU Citi:nS-The five
minutes that we are allowed to stop here
does not allow me to make speech to
you; neither do you desire it. You cone
10 make our acquaintance; your presence
here is evidence that, although you
may not agree with me in party or
in regard 10 policy or measures, l hope
you are interested to see me. So far a.
good intentions 20 and so far as l shall
endeavor to do what you would have me
do, you will be charitable to mistakes,
and | have NO donbt we may make many.
You will however, hope, agree with me
that in the Nation, among all classes and
colors, there should be peace. Ifyou do,
we shall not differ angrily or violently
about measures. 1t is in that desire and
with that purpose that l hope in four
years to do something for the whole coun.
try and for all its inhabitants. am sure
you would rather hear some one. else.
Judge Key for instance.
After speeches by Key, Devens and
Evarts, which were enthusiastically re.
ceived, the party proceeded to Mortified,
where the express, for the North, was
met TO bring Vice President Wheeler and
other nOtables. The company then pro.
ceeded to Concord without further stops,
reaching here at 1910 o'clock.

President Hayes addressed large

several generations, and it ia not alto.

having shaken hands we hardly feel ac

hear the voice, and I suppose it is as pro

acknowledgement to the authorities Of the
State OF New Hampshire, Governor and
members OF the Legislature, and to the
authorities Of the city Of Concord for theil
kindness in bringing me TO New Hamp

and have been making our way through

mountain regions under circumstances il
