 The reception and serenade rendered to- night to Generals Garfield and Arthur at the headquarters of the Republican National committee on Fifth avenue was one of the
 greatest affairs ever witnessed in this city.
 The avenue in the vicinity of the headquart- CTS was densely crowded, among those pres ent being a strong delegation of the Boys in Blue,'' about 1000 members of the various
 Garfield and Arthur clubs and several sing ing societies The rooms of the committee were filled with prominent Republicans. General Garfield arrived at 8:35 p. m. and was greeted with three rousing cheers. He was escorted by Senator Dorsey to the front parlor, where he was introduced to many prominent citizens. Shortly after delega- tion of colored Republicans, numbering ?, GOO, carrying torches marched up the avenue and were loudly cheered. They were followed by and headed by bands of music. Generals Garfield and Arthur soon appeared on the balcony and were loudly cheered. General Sharpe introduced General Garfield, when he spoke as follows:
 Comrades and boys in blue and fellow citizens of New York: cannot look upon this great assemblage tonight and those old veterans who have been marching past us, and listen to these words of welcome from our comrade just spoken, without remem- bering how great thing it is to live in this Union and to be part of it. Cheers. This is New York, and just wonder down by the Battery, more than a hundred years ago, Q young student of Columbia College was working out the ideas of the American Revolution, a Union against treason and disloyalty, and bye and bye going into the army and on the staff of Washington, fighting the battles of the republic, and be- fore he was twenty-one writing letter that contained every germ of the Constitution of the United States. That scholar, statesman and soldier, that great chieftain of thought was Alexander Hamilton, and New York made this republic glorious by his thinkin g and gave a great contribution to the ideas that made the Union. Here on this island the scene of his triumph, the soldiers of the Union war, representing his ideas of the greatness of the Union and it's glory, have added story to the monument that Wash inpton and Hamilton, heroes of the Revolu- ton, raised. We should remember to-day that we, by our meeting, stand as sacred guards about the truths for which we fought, and while a man of us is left to shake hands together we will stand by the great truths for which we fought. (Applause) Comrades, some Of these truths have settled so deeply in our to mention the grand elevating spirit of the war We gathered the boys from all the farms, the shops, the homes and places of the republic, and they went out to the war, into and out of it like Henry Agencourt There is another thing we shall ever remember, namely, our allies that fought with us. We have seen white men betray their fellows and fight to destroy the Union, but never during that long and terrible war did you ever see traitor under Q black skin. (Ap- plause) Our prisoners escaped from the darkness and starvation of prison, but they never were afraid to go into the black mans cabin and ask for food. In all that period of distress no Union soldier was ever betrayed by any black man. We will stand by these black men until the equal sun of lib erty fixed in the Armament of our Constitu- ton shall shine with equal rays upon every man, black and white In this there is only individual justice. Like the poet CTennyson) ''We rise on the stepping stones of our dead selves to higher things" The republic rises on the stepping stones of its dead heroes and great struggle to a greater, truer and better life We must stand over our past as soldiers, as patriots, and over our country as the com mon heritage and blessing of us all. In con clusion General Garfield thanked the assem- blaze for the great ovation he had received and sat down amid great applause.
 General Logan next addressed the assem- blaze He dwelt chiefly on the fact that the country had become great under Republican rule and @ change not desirable. He praised General Hancock as a statesman sol dier, but regretted that he was the represen- tative of the Democratic party. It showed, however, that that party was improving when they had chosen such brave Union soldier as their standard-bearer. This re- mark was received with laughter and great applause.
 General Arthur was induced to come for ward after repeated calls. He returned thanks in a few words and said he wished to give place to the eminent speakers who had come from distance. Speeches were then made by Judge Pierrepont, General Ben Har- rison, General Anson G. McCook and others, after which several campaign songs were rendered by the different singing societies present and the reception terminated about midnight.
