 Reception All Along the Route-speech-
 es Cheers and Ovations-His Arrival in New York.
 SYRACUSE, Aug. 4.-The announcement that
 General Garfield would pass through Syra-
 cuse on his Eastern trip drew @ large crowd
 to Vanderbilt Square at 1O:3O. The rain,
 which commenced early this morning, con-
 tinued and of course kept the ladies away, but
 despite the disagreeable drizzling rain the vii
 cinity of the square was crowded and travel
 over the thoroughfare was stopped The
 people crowded to the windows in the blocks
 on both sides of the streets and flags and
 bunting were displayed on all sides. At 10:50
 the train carrying General Garfield and party
 drew into Syracuse amid the firing of cannon
 and the shouts of the people. A platform
 car decorated with flags and carpeted was
 backed to the drawing room of the train,
 and upon that General Garfield stepped and
 was most enthusiastically received. After the
 cheering had ceased General Garfield said
 I have nothing to say except this,
 I thank you for this cordial greeting
 When I last passed through Syracuse
 you were debating whether you could
 not get rid of the hard times by the use of
 the printing press for fiat money and repudi-
 ation, but the people of Syracuse have worked
 their way out in the good old way, on the old
 road upon which Stands the guide board on
 which Gods word is written, By the sweat
 of thy brow shalt thou earn thy bread" This
 faithful work has brought you to the sum
 of& hot
 great land of ours. You have kept faith in
 your financial doctrines The doctrine is
 true to-day wherever the sunlight falls. I
 congratulate you that you never went back
 on that doctrine, but stuck to the truth. 1
 have nothing more to say except to repeat
 thank you.
 Immediately on the close of General Gar
 fields remarks, there were loud calls for Sen
 ator Logan, but he did not appear and Hon.
 o. D. Conger, of Michigan, stepped forward
 and made brief speech of purely local inter
 est Before he had finished speaking the cars
 was out of sight.
 NEW YORK; Aug. 4.-Gen. Garfield and
 party arrived at the Grand Central depot at
 7:36 this evening. Long before that time
 immense crowds had assembled in front of
 the depot, among which were over twenty
 Garfield and Arthur district campaign clubs
 wearing white gloves and silk badges. On
 the platform when the train bearing General
 Garfield and party drew up was also large
 crowd composed of many prominent Repub-
 licans of this city Great cheering greeted
 the train as it arrived, and Gen. Garfield, who
 was among the first to alight, was warmly
 received by the members of both the Ma
 tional and State committees. After
 considerable handshaking the party walked
 toward the main entrance, where Gen. Garfield
 received another ovation, raising his hat in
 acknowledgement and lowing to the multi
 tude, who continued to cheer until the party
 had entered the carriages waiting for them
 and were driven toward the Fifth Avenue
 Hotel. Among the gentlemen who arrived
 with General Garfield were Hon. o. D. Con
 ger of Michigan, William Mckinley of Ohio,
 General Streight of Ohio, John c. New, Hon.
 G. S. Orth of Indiana, Judge Morrison of H.
 linois, ex-Governor Jewell, Colonel Hooper
 and ex-Governor Fish. Among those who
 met the party from this city were l.. P. Mor ton, General Logan and Stanley Mat
 thews. On his arrival at the hotel General Garfield was at once shown to his suite of rooms on the second floor. In few minutes after his arrival the hotel be- came almost packed, the main corridor on the ground floor being almost impossible, while probably five thousand persons had as
 sembled outside, the crowd receiving acces- sions every minute. The cheers for Garfield became so great that, although tired from his long journey and intending not to see anyone or make speech before tomorrow, he was prevailed upon by his friends to show himself on the balcony over the main en- trance to the hotel. His presence was the signal for storm of cheers which lasted sev- eral minutes. Finally when something like quiet was restored General Garfield stepped to the front of the balcony and spoke fol- lows: Fellow citizens, accept my thanks for your kind congratulations and presence. Good night.n
 General Garfield then retired to his rooms, and after taking bath sat down with about a dozen friends to dinner. Among the prom inent persons present at the hotel during the evening were Senators Blaine and Dawes, Collector Merritt, Thomas Acton, Anson Me Cook, Postmaster Sperry of New Haven, Congressman Bailey and TownFend John F. O'Brien, Don Cameron and J. I. Davenport. After dinner General Garfield received few friends and retired at Il o'clock.
 Tanners Fast-On. His Thirty-EiShth Day-His Stomach Full of Irritation as a Bfle-His Wonderful Will Power Growing More and More Irrita5Ie-Dis- charging Wind From His Stomach. NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-ShortIy before noon to-day Dr. Tanner had a slight attack of vomiting and then drank two ounces of iced spring water At noon Dr. Tanner began the thirty-eighth day of his fast with his stomach as one of the watchers said, as full of irritation as a bile. The faster's condi- tion is without any change for the better He is still very weak and irritable His sui ferings are great, although, like in the early days of his fast, he does his utmost to hide them His will power is wonderful, and it is his determination which is carrying him Iox- af 41n test This afternoon he sat in the south gal lery of the hall, and although he assumed an air of cheerfulness it too plain that he was in most pitiable condition. The physi- clans on watch think Tanners enfeebled con- dition is principally due to the use of mineral water.
 Said physician: F'There is great cause for alarm Dr. Tanners stomach has under gone an atrophy, or, in other words, a disin- teoration and it has probably lost it's power of digesting On Sunday morning am told he passed something from the stomach which resembIed tissue of disintegrated mucous membrane. If this is true it would show that his stomach is undergoing sort of sef-di- eestion which has been brought on by an in crease of the secretion of gastric juice, caused by the effects of carbonic acid water, which I am informed has been taken contra ry to the advice of his medical watchers. This fast is of no benefit to science So far as can understand, 1t was intended as a scientific test. Besides it has not been conducted in 8 scientific manner It is of no particular value to know that Dr. Tanner can fast forty days. nor is there any scientific evidence that he has lasted so long. Belief in the fast, of course in that case, must depend upon the confidence the medical profession can place in the personal integrity of Tanner. Do not mistake me- I earnestly believe that the doctor is sincere and perfectly honorable, and do not mean to throw any aspersions on the honesty of the faster :"
 During the early afternoon the doctor ex- | hibited marked symptoms of weakness He was also very irritable and several times re- quested visitors to leave the hall His pecu- to make people believe he is fast losing his mental as well as his
 physical powers. The sphymographic test applied during the afternoon showed his condition to be irregular and weak. His
 pulse was 7s, temperature go, respiration 15.
 He appeared very weak in his limbs and ab-
