INTRODUCING GENERAL GARFIELD.
George III. Stuart, the leader of the meeting,
subsequently said:
know OF instance when politics had been allowed
to disturb these meetings We have been banded to-

needs no words from my lips to tell us where

and pay his respects t. this audience feeling that
in the peculiar situation in which he is placed his
speaking here such important occasion might be
misconsrued-and believe he Is the last man in the
world to use any 6nGh occasion Tor capital These as
helping Lhls man or that man. but for saving the coun
try for God and eternity
MIR Stuart then spoke to the effect that the Young
Mems Christian Association has no politics and no
candidates. The vast audience in the meanwhile
became so impatient as to be scarcely able to keep
their seats. At length the speaker concluded and
introduced General Garfield, and as he the
vast audience jumped to their feet and
thousands of kerchiefs were enthusiastically
waved in the air, but, beyond the little
rustic produced by their motion, there was not
sound of applause, such, as the chairman had had
occasion TO state several times during the afternoon,
not being allowed during the Sabbath
Mr. Stuart proceeded TO lead the Presidential can
didae from his seat to the front of the platform,

that had tinge of disappointment in it:

person. although don't think there are any here.

were heard by those seated near the platform,
and gentleman remarked Let him speak"
This idea was at once taken up and
a large number Of persons, ladies well gentle
men, at once cried "Speech!" Speech!' and the
greater portion of the vast audience TO its feet
AS General Garfield stood the edge of the platform
the Chautauqua salute given a second time in
the deepest silence before. Then some again |
suggested a speech, and succession of calls fol-
lowed and gentleman called out. Let him |
say word for Jesus" General Garfield said :
"I thank you for this recognition; it IS
not in my judgment, a proper time or
place for me to make a speech. / thank YOU"
Praise God from whom all blessings flow" the |
leader called out suddenly, and the vast concourse
of people who were just in the act of giving third |
Chautauqua salute in honor of the Republican |
candidate at TO their feet and sang the first
verse of the hundredth psalm with as much pointed |
energy as if it were Republican campaign song. |
The benediction then pronounced, and gen
eral rush followed TO shake hands with the next |
President.
The sun has shone clear and the day has been |

it not for the Chinese wall that surrounds the place
on the one side and the lake the other, with the
