1t was noticeable that General GarfelUs voice
was stu husky from the great strain it had been
subjected to for two days. With his trlug oXccp-
ton he appeared to be, what he is known to be, a
model OF manly vigor and his cordial greeting and
the few words he spoke to each person LEFT most
favorable impression with everyone. Personal COM
piiments were parted with easy grace and expires
sons of goodwill were accepted without reserve
by General Garfield, while to propheses of success
he replied with words of hope and confidence, with
out however, forgetting to add his advice to his
friends to omit no honorable exertion the drec-
ton OF campaign work

The greeting between General Garfield and Senator
Cameron was of the most cordial nature, and Sena-
tor Cameron took occasion to assure the Gen
counted upon as absolutely for him. Senator
Logan was no less cordial aud enthusiastic. 1t was
remarked by politician Of some note in view of
the presence and encouraging words of the Grant
leaders and also in view of tho presence of many
persons who had been attracted by the Liberal
movement Of 1872 that there was to-day true bar
mony i'm the Republican ranks, which had united
the party as one man. and presaged happy issue of
the struggle of 1880.
