this grand valley through which we have
been passing is the finest in the world, and

recognition be taken Of his presence in

densely packed by good natured multi.

the many beautiful decorations and illu-

deed very gratifying to me. do not
take them as mere personal compliment
understand largely they mean you are
attached to the principles Of the Govern
ment OF the United States. Applause.
| trust, also, may accept this demonstra-
ton as in part due to the fact that the
people OF Cincinnati approve the course
OF the al ministration in regard to the
great and difficult questions Of how 10
bring about complete and permanent pa.
ciicatiOn in this country. Cheers.
The whole country-all sections, all
States, all people, all races and classes
are deeply interested in the permanent
paciication Of the country. Cheers.
But my friends no part OF the people Of
the United States are more deeply inter.

North and Sonth than the people OF Gin

part OF the period Of my residenc in Gin.
cinnati this city was \ border city. It was
like Baltimore and Louisville, border
city. On the other side Of the line-was a
population by circumstances beyond our
control; in some degree alienated, es.
tranged from Us. but my friends, the great
object OF desire with the gentleman asso-
ciated with me in the government and the
great object OF desire with me is to change
all that. wish TO see Cincinnati occupy
the position which her geographical 10.

Cincinnati to be one of the great central
cities OF the best continent on the globe.

come when the great conflict that raged
between uI for more than fifty years, is
to be closed. [Cheers. And how deeply
are we interested in the four years since
the great crisis in monetary and
business affairs, and yet the de.
preston has not entirely passed away.
Four moths ago, in New York city, in the
presence Of large assemblage Of mer.
chants, thought proper to say, in my
Judgment, we might look for an early,
encouraging and decisive indication OF
a restoration OF business prosperity
throughout the country. To-day, my
friends, l think may say in the opin-

predictions have come to pass. Look at
it. They are not, perhaps, as decided as
