CHICAGO, September 2d.-The Presidential
party composing the President and Mrs
Hayes, r. B. Hayes, Jr., Birchard Hayes
with several lady friends, General Sherman
and daughter and several others, left here al
little after II o'clock this morning over the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
for Omaha, en- route for California. The
Directors car of the Central Pacific met the
party here, and YVES placed at the disposal OF
President Hayes and family. Two other
coaches, q dining and baggage car, made up
the special train, which goes through to
Omaha. where the party will be transferred
to the Union Pacific road at noon Friday.
From Omaha the party goes to Ogden, down
TO Salt Lake, back to Ogden, and thence to
Sacramento, where the party will attend the
State Fair September 29th and 30th. From
there different places of interest on the Pacific
coast will be visited, including trip to the
end of the Southern Pacific Railroad, arriv-

The first stop after leaving here was made at
Naperville, H., where the President and
General Sherman addressed briefly the One
Hundred and Fifth Illinois Volunteers, who
are holding reunion to-day.
GALvA Qll.), September 2d-At Mendoza,
President Hayes, in addressing the crowd,
briefly alluded to the trips made by Wash
ington and Monroe during their Presidential
terms over comparatively small areas, yet
requiring q vast amount of time. Now the
Il L.
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 enjoyed at home.
The contrast shows what this Government is
doing, and what it is capable Of
Princeton was reached while the party were
at dinner, but the shouts of several thousand
people brought them to the platform, where
general handshaking took place. in which
Mrs. Hayes and General Logan (who had
joined the party were called to take part.
1t is noticeable that in all the places where
the train stops calls are made for political
speeches, but none are made. President
Hayes, referring to this fact, explained that
this was not a political party; that there
was an unwritten law that the President
was not to make partisan speeches, and that
the President at least should observs the
laws faithfully.
N IOWA.
BURLINGTON Ia.), September 3D. The
President and party arrived here ut & o'clock,
the special train having made but few and
brief stops after leaving Galesburg. There
were large and enthusiastic crowds at all the
stations At Monmouth a special train from
Burlington met the Presidential train, and &C.
compauied it hithsr. On the special train was
committee composed about equally of Re-
publicans and Democrats, ygho bade the ex-
cursionists hearty welcome TO Burlington.
At the depot here the concourse of people
was very great and the city seemed to have
taken holiday ia honor Of the distinguished
guests. As the stay was only twenty min
utes, the reception was not as elabora g as it
was desired to give.
The President was led to a platform near
the depot, around which over 5,Oo0 people
had gathered. After being introduced by
Mayor Some, he expressed his qualification at
the welcome he had received from the grand
State of Iowa, and remarked one fact, that
the welcome came from all political parties
and from every description and rank
of life. 81 am circumscribed, said
he, "as to the topics on which l may
talk. L cannot discuss politics, the all
absorbing topic OF the day, and you will par
don ne if / refer to the fact that there was a
would have been received the most heartily in
Burlington. / have a hobby which | have
talked on OF late, that in this period OF
universal prosperity, with the most pros
porous Government on the globe, we might
iraugurate u new policy on one i'm
portant subject. Iowa need be told as
little as any State that knowledge is
power. Where universal suffrage prevails
there must be universal education. But why
say this to Iowa? Because this country is
ali tied together, and the ignorance of one
section is detrimental, Or perhaps even dan
gerous to the Others there should be every
where free schools, that will fit every man to
vote. Mere voters are simply powder and
ball for demagogues. Let means Of education
be provided by the General Government"
The President closed with . strong plea for
the education OF the Southern negro and the
Southern white, amid hearty applause.
General Sherman was then introduced, and
in course of his speech said: Boys. there
are some things above politics. The profess
sion of war is one OF them. 1 hope no
soldier will be il fuenced in his vote, simply be.
cause vote one way or the other, or because
! hold certain opinions" Pointing to a
lage American flag, he said: LET US make
that Gag the emblem Of all that is great and
glorious"
The presentation of Mrs. Hayes before the
crowd aroused the heartiest enthusiasm, after
which the party Withdrew to the train,
which at once moved out amid loud cheering.
The speeches during the sto p at 0ttumwa
were brief, and when the train was once more
under way the party retired for the night.
Declined, with Thanks.
