GRANT IN KENTUCKY,

The Governor OF the State and the Mayor
OF Louisville Mako Speeches OF
Welcome.
Louisville, Dec. 1O.-Eighteen hours of
rain put the streets in bad condition, but
did not deter crowds of people from lining
the route of Grants procession, which
started promptly at P. NJ. from the depot,
amid loud cheers and the roar of artillery.
1t was quite imposing, and the military
feature was very generally admired. The
route to the grand stand in front of the
court house was profuselv decorated. After
reaching the stand, wnere thousands of
people were congregated, Mayor Baxter
introduced General Grant as follows:
Mayor Baxter expressed qualification at
being able to welcome one Of the most dis
tinguished men of our age. After filling the
highest military and civil Offices in the land
with honor and fidelity to himself and coun-
try, retiring and becoming private citizen,
he received from the crowned heads of the
world honors never accorded to any other
American, because he was an American citi.
zen who had creditably filled these offices,
His return had been one grand ovation and
genuine welcome regardless of party or past
issues. Now, said the mayor, at the gateway
of the south, we not only as Kentuckians,
but as American citizens, loving our coun-
try, its constitution and its laws, welcome
you, Gen. Grant, to our midst.
Governor Blackburn then extended
welcome in behalf of the state.
Gov. Blackburn regretted that Gen.
GRAM could not extend his journey into the
portion of Kentucky of With Kentuckians
felt justly proud as being the Eden ut the
world, and he prom ised that when Grant
should fod time for such journey he
would meet cordial welcome. We have
been gratlfied to recognize the honor paid
you as q soldier and one who has already
filled full page In your country's history,
and to know that you have achieved these
whilst nurtured under thedome Of the ten.
pie Of liberty, constructed BY and cemented
with the bleod Of our revolutionary sirea.
In republic like ours it is but natural that
the entire population should share In the
successes and triumphs Of any Of her citi.
zens, and now, general, In conclusion al.
low me, a. the chief executive of this
state, to extend to you q hearty welcome
to the soil of Kentucky.
General Grants response was bTiefand sub
stantially the same as previous utterancss.
The procession then marched 10 the Louis
vile hete], where the general received du-
ring the afternoon various bodies and or
gan'zations. AT ~. N. be will dine with
Henry Waterson aud have private recep-
tioD. The city will be illuminated tonight,
and at IL D. IN. General and Mrs Grant
will hold grand reception In the Gault
