assem- bled fellow citizens. He had ex-
peoted hearty greeting, hut the popu-

Mr.. Evarts was introduced, who al
Iuding to Charlottesville as the home
of Jefferson, said there was no spot In
Virginia more attractive to the people
OF the United States than that city.
Wherever the places the citizens OF the
country may have assigned to the great
men of other states, 1t cannot be denied
that Thomas Jefferson was our great |
leader OF the congress OF the wlsest
and best men of this countryside
leader of the historical roll to be re-
membered forever-and even the dec.
laration Of independence fell to Vir.
ginia In the person OF Thomas Jeffer-
son. He lives again In the great Uni.
versity Of Virginia. Mr.. Evarts then
paid glowing tributes to this institu-
ton, saying that as sure as the princi'
pies OF Jefferson are to be the leading
principles Of the government, just 30
sure must the university ever he one
Of the great institutions OF the coun-
try. He next referred TO the president
and the principles he had laid out for
the government OF the country, and
spoke of the encouragement they had
received from all sections. He had
been invited to visit all sections, for
the people wanted to see the face OF
the man who had given new prosperity, |
new hopes and Joy to the land. AL
this was rs pleasant to the president
as 1t was to the people, for In the re-
snonses of such crow de as this, he |
knows whether the north and the
south had hopes and desires alike.
Mr.. Key, In response to calls, and
being introduced, said: l am highly
gratified at the call upon me. Nothing
[ could say would be OF particular ser.
vice to you. and all 1 could say would
be to cheer you on. The times are im.
proving and we are glad. tCheers and
laughter.1
