companions. the gentlemen and ladies
present, a cordial welcome. (Applause.)
We are in the habit Of opening our
hearts and our gates to strangers who
come among us from beyond our borders

its own exceeding great reward. Under
any circumstances the hospitality Of
which, We trust, GeOrgians may justly
boast, would make the President Of the
United States cordially welcome upon
our soil. Great cheers.)
But you, sir, come into our midst not
as President only. The vast interests
over which you preside, the stupendous
power which you WELD as Chief Magis-
trate, the dignity with which your name
is invested by that power-these are not
the real ideas which move us in this
greeting to-day. (Applause.) Most prom
inent in our minds, higher and greater
than every other distinction, is the char
acter which you Illustrate-(applause)
as the peacemaker between brethren
estranged. Immense cheering.) 1t is

ambition to remove fear and suspense
from the hearts Of 100000 people,
