The party an immense crowd had assembled at

from the train, accompanied by Mrs. Hayes

the firing of guns, ringing Of bells and blow

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: We have Just ar
~ in city ind hop orod
regret that my time will not permit me to
remain with you longer. I had not intended
making extended renarks to You, knowing
that wc should remain but short time, put
seeing you comfortably seated te mpted me,
talk to an audience upon the present condition
OF the country. Everywhere in Kansas, and
doubt not in ST. Joseph, it is the same. l
find that the general prospect seems to
be reviving There is better employment
for capital, there is better employment for la
Dor and there is better opportunity for busi-
vious time within about five or six years. In
deed, we seem to be, Us a people, upon the
Threshold of better times. Whatever in the
past may have divided us as people, or may
have divided classes of people, seems to be in
a fair way to be almost forgotten in the gener-
al prosperity in which we are entering.
(Cheers.)

YOU were in a condition to know all about it,
Whatever of evil there was connected with the

war was over, and those measures called the
