| of his car and bowed to the crowd as the train
moved slowly out of the depot. Also at Niles
a very large crowd were in waiting, where an
other salute was fred. Immense crowds were

guished visitors. At Youngstown salute was
fred as the train drew into the station. The
President and party were met at the depot with
b
old command and escorted to the public square,
where the President was introduced by Captain

MR.. WALTER L. CAMPBELL,
of the Register and Tribune delivered the ad-
dress of welcome. He alluded to what had oc-
Cured since the President was here in 1876.
MIR. Campbell also paid high tribute to the
practical wisdom which has attended the pres
ent administration, and contrasted the activity
in business which now prevails in the Mahon-
ing valley with tho depression that was appar-
emit in 1875.
He said: Criticism is mute before the visi-
bic results attained and condemnation of the
means is as impossible as in judging the end.
In sight of the capitol We welcome him as the
colonel of the Twenty-third regiment of Ohio
volunteers, in whose deeds of i'm
proudly claim an interest as in a
priceless lagacy. We welcome him as an ex-
Governor of our cherished commonwealth,
whose good name he ever zealously maintained
and whose great interest he faithfully guarded.
We welcome him as conspicuous leader in the
momentous struggle which put to the proof
the good faith of the American people. We
welcome him as the executive here, not of a
party, or faction, or section, but of our
whole beloved country whose amity, ordained
by the fathers in the fundamental law and af-
frmed by their children in the decision of war,
no has so earnestly striven to cement with love.
We welcome him as the chief magistrate of the
nation, whose material prosperity he has been
instrumental in promoting, and to which he
has given an administration sullied by no scan
dial. We welcome him as the President of the
republic whose constitution he logically defends
and. whose laws he wisely and honestly exc
cutes.

plause.) 1t was my fortune once to speak of
him to an audience almost as large as this, an
audience filled with sadness, an audience
gathered of his old friends and neighbors, at
his funeral, and I spoke of him then as still
think truly, as the
BEST LOVED CITIZEN l
of Ohio (Great applause) 1 wish it were
possible under the dispensatfons of providence,
that David Todd to-day could behold what we
see in the valley which he loved 10 we'll, and
for which he did so much. With native
strength of intellect with original power, des-
tined from the bes inning to be great and in
good heart, and he will never be forgotten in
the valley where he lived.
My friends, az I began, must close with
| saying that the speaking will occur this after
noon. thank you for the welcome, and shall
detain you but for moment with the intro
duction of a man who is remembered wherever
the soldier meets who fought for the Union.
GEN. T. W. SHERMAN.
The general spoke as follows: Fellow citi.
zcns: As said by the President, it is not the
time appointed for speaking, but if by single
word or by single sentence could do more
| to honor him who has come here to-day it
would afford me great pleasure. But now, the
less said the better. 1 always feel at home in
Ohio and thank you for the honors to-day.
