New-York tribune., 1880-09-29

| The speakers and prominent guests entered car
riages at o'clock ard moved through the crowded
streets preceded by escort ofmounted men in nnl-
form. There was only little cheering, but great
| eagcrness to see General Grant shown. When
| the party entered the wigNam. however there was
no lack of applause. General Grant went To the froD
of the platform and the great audience cbeered un-
| lnterruptedly for several minutes His face wore
a genial expression that used to be almost stranger
to it in the years when he carried the responsibilities
of the Chief Magistracy. The experiences Of travel
and the enjoyment of rest and freedom from care
seem TO have frightened his temper and banshed
his old tacurn, carewOrn expression OF counte-
nance His hair and beard only slightly tingcd
with gray. and his health appears to be perfect.
Upon the platform General Grant were senator
Logan. ex-senator Simon Cameron the Hon. Levi
?. Morton, OF New-York. General Beaver, the Hon.
Russell Errett aud j. :. II!estand of Pennsylvania.
the Hon. Amos Townsend. of Cieyeiand. State Sem
ator II. B. Perkins, Judge Taylor, nominated 10
succeed General Garfield in Congress. Judge Fred
erick Kinsman, T. J. McIan. jr., United States
Consul at Nassau, and other prominent Republicans.
GENERAL GRANTS ADDRESS.
General Grant was introduced chairman of
the meeting by J. VI. Stall of the Republican County
Committee Another prolonged Out0nrst OF applause
followed. Placing bis sDectacles Oh his nose. the
cx- President drew a manuscript from his pocket and
proceeded to read in q voice so low to be totally
inaudible except to the people Immediately aronnd
him. The reading lasted about seven minutes. Tho
audience heard not a word, but II knew the matter
was good and applauded heartily when General
Grant folded up the manuscript removed his spec
taclcs, and sat down with his accustomed modest
dignity of manner.
Tie Generals speech was as follows:

SENATOR eoNRLING's T,Cr.
Then Senator Conkling was presented. IIo
was in good humor and IN excellent
condition for making an effective
speech. His clear. penetrating voice filed tho
whole vast auditorium, and even ran odt into tho
open air over the heads Of the crowds around the
doorway His speech contained only a very few
passages from hls recent New-York address-nearly
all the matter was new. The Introductory reference
to the growth and greatness of Ohio and the dstn-
guIshed guests on tie platform in excellent
taste.
Much of the speech was evidently improviSed in

A FEW WORDS FROM SENATOR LOGAN.
The people were eager TO hear Logan. and the occa-
sion was an excellent for OF his strong CON-
mon-s.nse, rough-and-realy speeches. But he
wanted to go 10 Mentor at ) o'clock with Grant and
Conklng, and therefore spoke only few minutes.
The chairman announced that the distinguished
guests were about to leave the town in order To
VISIT General Garfield. and the meeting adjourned a
GOOD deal disappointed at Login'S bef apology for
a speech. An evening meeting WAS hc,d In the wig
wain and "a brilliant torchight procession closed
the events of the day.
The great interest felt in Republican success by
the men controlling the leading business interests
of this region may he estimated by the fact that all
