DAYTON, o., Sept 12.-The President and
Mrs. Hayes, Rutherford and Fannie Hayes,
Gen. Carroll, Hon. Charles Foster, Sandusky
Registrar General; Buckland, Brown and
Superintendent Howard, Of the Columbus,
Sandusky and Cincinnati Railroad arrived
last evening from Springfield. Men, women
and children thronged the depot and streets
to the utmost extent and cheered the Presi-
dent as he stepped into the carriage The
Fourth Regiment band played inspiring airs.
A committee took the guests and escorted
them to Mr.. Anderson's residence at 9:45 p.
m. The grounds about the house were
lighted with lanterns and reflectors, which
made the vicinity as light as day. After re-
ceiving the visitors the President addressed
the populace. He briefly referred to the
manner In which he would administer the
government. He said:
''My good friends Of Dayton When last
had the pleasure Of speaking to you from
this door remember there was good deal
of anxiety felt throughout the country in re-
gard to the Presidential election, not SO much
as to the result of the election but as to the
manner IN which the result should be ascer-
tanned. While cannot undertake to remem-
ber what 1T then occurred to me to say, do
remember that you seemed to agree with me
that lawful and peaceable methods were alone
proper to be pursued in ascertaining the
result.
The general wish of the American people,
the sober second thought is in favor of de-
termining every question that may arise be-
tween State governments and the National
government, and between the people Of the
different races, in a lawful and peaceful man
ner, and accordingly when there devolyed
upon me the chief magistracy OF the United
States it occurred ,to, me that the American
people would be glad to have such methods
applied to the relations then existing between
the States and between the whites and blacks
as would, Ii possible, settle these differences
peaceably and bring back the Republic to the
condition in which it was one hundred years
ago,when the fathers We're one on allquestions.
Ii this meets the appreciation of my friends
atDayton, then l am very sure that was done
with proper motives and In spirit which
you will approve. The particular way men
may differ about, but the end, / feel conf
dent, men cannot differ about. tCheers.] We
want our nation to be Union of love and
peace, in which all will obey the constitution
as 1t Is, with all Its amendments, securing to
all men equal rights, not because we have the
power to enforce it, but because it is the will Of
the people that it shall be so. This is the
spirit on which desire the government shall
be administered.
= have spoken longer than intended-long-
very grateful for this welcome to your beau
tiful city. Ibid you good night.
general hand shaking then took place.
At 10 p. m. the board of managers of the

citement. Every one is out in Sunday attire
