spoke as follows;
Ladies and Gentlemen There il some
uncertainty as to how long this train viii
stop, therefore will begin by the usual
exchange Of salutations, good morning
my fellow citizens and good bye, and II ]
should have no better opportunity, to say
that this is our fourth day in New Hamp'
shire. Entering the State rather In III,
Northern part, crossing the Connecticut
above Windsor, we passed into the noun
tainS, spending two days there and ther
across the mountains 10 Concord, Wis
Plymouth, and there we have been greet
ed with reception so much warmer
so much better than we as individuals are
entitled to have;that one is almost at losl
for an explanation for it, and supposed
it to mean that the people Of New Hamp
shire are good American citizens in al
things. II believes in Government; be-
lieves in union; believes in equal human
rights, and therefore her citizens are glad
TO meet those who are so connected with
the Government as to have influence in
regard to these various questions. don't
take it to be an endorsement OF the views
we have or all the measures we adopt
and yet we have a hope that the people
OF this town believe that we intend to do
the right thing. [Cries Of "Good," and
applause. don't fly into any discussion
OF measures adopted, nor into defence oI
them; that would be very idle. II they
are wrong the people will soon under.
stand II, or they understand 1t already
and our arguments can't help it. II
they are right they will OF course
be approved sooner or later, and
for the judgement OF the present and fu.
ture, l for one am compelled, and am
willing to leave my public and official
conduct. And so / think my friends
we are sufficiently acquainted; now will
introduce to you some Of the gentlemen
who are associated with me in the man.
agement Of this large piece Of machinery,
which is called the government. First
allow me TO introduce to you the gentle
man whose appointment in my Cabinet
caused some disappointment and some

Republican friends. didn't consult any
OF you about il; think the most OF you
would have said no, [laughterl but the

Key, the more confident l have
felt that | have made no mistake. He

ant juncture. He was on the wrong side
at n less important juncture; but, he is
getting right indeed he is almost alto
gether right. / think by the time we
take him through New England he will
be as good Yankee as any Of you.
Gen. Key then made a few remarks in
which he said he hoped the citizens Of
Manchester had a good Postmaster, il
not he would give them one. After com.
plimenting the people Of New England
he concluded by saying: II you bring q
Yaykee and o Southern man together and
get them to talk together while, or, il

ern lady, they would find that all their
differences were more ideal than real.
We are all American citizens and that
great cause Of controversy that has ex.
listed between this section and the South
for so long period exists no longer, and
there is no good reason why we should
not be the best Of friends.
The President then said: As soon "a we
got Medill, Of New England, at Benning.
ton, we discovered that New Hampshire
was soldier State; indeed, that the battle
Of Bennington was fought largely by New
Hampshire soldiers under the leadership

not that in this audience there are great
many soldiers, and l propose to intro.
duCe to you now one OF the most gallant
New England soldiers, Attorney General
