Send Off and Enthusiastic Receptions at
Different Poibts Along the Line-Gen
sherman the Attraction OF the Show.

04r6s 11dycb duu 6Ou5, DlrCunru diiu hotnok-
ford, Gen. Sherman and daughter, Gen.
McCook of Sherman's staff, arrived this fore
noon. They were driven Immediately to the
Grand Pacific hotel, where they breakfasted
with John B. Drake, Esq, and were after
wards driven to the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad, where special train was
waiting to take them to Omaha. Large
numbers of gentlemen and ladies, including
Hon. G. B. Farwsll, General Lsake,
Collector Harvey, and UNITED States
Marshall ShlIwell waited TO pay
their respects. Among the floral gifts to
Mrs. Hayes was beautiful basket Of flow
era from Mrs. John v. Farwell. At Napier
vile Gen. John A. Logan, who had left on
an earlier train, was taken on board and will
continue with the party during the day. 1t
is the expectation to visit Salt Lake, Cali
fornia, Virginia City, and to go by the over
land route to Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory, and return by ocean stsamer to San
Francisco, the whole distance consuming
sabout sixty days.
AT BURLINGTON.
BURLINGTON, Ia, Sept. 2-The President
and party made few and brief stops between
Salisbury and this city, and no speeches
were made at any point. There were, how
ever, large and enthusiastic crowds at each
station, who clambered on the platform and
over each other in their eagerness to grasp
the Presidents hands and to exchange
greetings with Gen. Sherman, and to get
sight at Mrs. Hayes. Everywhere there was
an enthusiastic welcome, decorous and re-
spectfuI language, and abundant good humor,
which took the form Of witty remarks and
responses. at Monmouth q special train
from Burlington, containing about
forty residents of that city, met
the train and accompanied 1t to Burlington.
This committee, which was composed about
equally of both political parties, gave the e1-
cursionists hearty welcome to Burlington.
In advance of arrival at Burlington there
was great cencourse of people, and the
city seemed to have taken holiday IN hon
or of the distinguished guests. AS only a
twenty minute stop was made, the reception
was not as elaborate as it was desired to
give. There was, however, general enthusi-
asm and an expression of good will.
AT MENDOZA.
At Mendoza, after futile attempt to get
speech from him, the President briefly al
luded to the trip made by Washington and
Monroe during their Presidential terms,
over comparatively small areas, yet requir-
ing vast amount of time. Now the condi-
tions are reversed, and what would have
been an appalling journey to the President
of fifty years ago is an easily accomplished
and swiftly completed trip. the comforts of
which are greater than some of US have at
home. The contrast shows what the gov
ernment is doing and what it is capable of.
Gen. Sherman being brought forward said
he saw many of the boys in the crowd and
to them he would say few words. This
party was going to the far West where
States were sprung up and growing so that
in few years, perhaps, Oregon might dis
pute with Illinois for precedence. It was
great country and needed good men, but
from the contented faces and signs of thrift
about him, be would venture the advice that
perhaps his hearers had better stay in Il
linois where SO many good things were
raised.
LA voice-"We raised Lincoln and Grant,
Sherman-"No, no. Grant was born in
OHIO, but he belongs to every State and to
yours, perhaps, more than any other"
PRINCETON
was feacneu Wnlie the party were at dinnef,
but crowd of several thousand people had
gathered at the depot and their shouts and
playing by the band of "Marching Through
Georgia. soon brought all to the platform,
and, although there were no speeches, many
"reminiscences were indulged in and gen.
eral hand shaking, in which Mrs. Haves aud
Gen. Logan were called to take part. Ex-
Congressman Henderson came on the train at
this point. It is noticeable that in all places
where the train stops calls are made for
political speeches but none are made. Presi-
dent Hayes referring to this fact, exclaimed
that this was not political party, that there
was no unwritten law that the President
was not to make partisan speeches, and that
the President, at least, should observe laws
faithfully. It was pretty well understood,
however, where the President stood.
