look down upon all the rest OF tn,
world. remember to have oncs heard
Governor Nys say OF your State that TIT
cider was very fine. but 1t was necessary
TO drink about Ave buckets OF 1t to ee,'
the taste OF the apples. I don't think
II would be necessary at the present
time, judging from the appearance o.
the country, to drink SO much to get thu
taste Of the apples.
GENERAL SHERMAN
Was now loudly called for, and being
introduced, said: Ladies' and gentle
men OF the land OF ~sagebrush and silver
I am glad to see you all today. but in
stead OF speaking myself should much
prefer hearing some OF your young law
yers-Mayor Stephens. for instance
tell rs about your country. what you
have here, what you have been doing,
and what you next intend to do. Presi.
dent Hayes and all with him are amazed
to see with what great labor you have
brought o railroad to this mountain top,
but they have not yet seen, as l have
seen, the wonders that are below ground
the great works that lie far below the
surface under your city. This is q treat
vet In store for them. I thank you fol
your kind reception and kind attention
and for all you have dune to honor the
President.

Hayes, who advanced to the railing oil
the balcony. When the throng In the
street caught sight Of her there was

man to come forward.
20. she's too young" cried General
Sherman; "never mind her."
But Mayor Stephens seized upon her.
and marching her forward. introduced
her. The young lady was heartily
cheered.

necessary for the party to prepare FOL

the crowd gradually dispersed.
IN THE MINES.
The President, Mrs. Hayes, General
Sherman and daughter. aud In all sew
eptcen persons, were then driven 10 the
n and G. ahaft. They landed on the
5000 level and took quite a trip through
the workings at that point. All were
astonished and delighted OF what they
saw; the ladies particularly 30. They
stopped Of the 100 level, and vent ou'
to the Sutro tunnel connection; also
went out to the ore breasts where the
miners were Of work. While there Mrs,
Hayes grssped q pick and dug out some
ore, saying she wanted 10 carry away Q
specimen Of her W mining. Sc
pleased were all with tho wonders OF the
lower levels that they would much have
liked to spend more time in exploring
them than they had at their command
Miss Sherman did not want to leave un'
Ill she had gone down 10 the very bot
tom OF the shaft.
The parlor prepared for the use OF thu
distinguished guests at the Internationa
Hotel was decorated In magnificent style,
The lace curtains Of eil the Windows
were draped with smilax. beautiful bou'
duets were arranged In vases, and ovel
the window fronting the main entrance
was the word "Wslcome" artistically
wrought In natural fowers-rsd ano
white roses. The parlor was kept CLOSED

While the President and party were al
dinner-about 8 o'clock In the evening
Professor Cara's band began playing on
the G street balcony OF the hotel. Al
onc q great crowd collected In front Of
the hotel, thinking the music was the
signal for speaking. After two or three
pieces had been played the crowd began
calling for the President. The Presidsn,
was still OF dinner and more music wal
tried, but the calls so increased that II
was finally thought best to 60 and tell
the President about the condition oil
affairs outside. He at once left the
table and appeared on the balcony. when
hs was heartily chssred.
PRESIDENT HAYES
Said: NY friends, In coming before you
l am probably consulting my comfort
and convenisncs to some extent. but as
I have Just left unfinished q good din
n.r, you will not expect me to msko a
long talk nor shall l undertake SO long
q talk % I might had ! concluded my
dinner. I must say that ] am delighted
with my visit to your city and pleased
with ali the kindness you have shown
me. I feel that in this you are honorinR
the Office OF chief magistrate Of the mo-
ton, and / am glad to think 1t Is so. /
do not know what you expect me to say
to you. Holding the position Of Presi.
dent OF the United States, 1t is not
proper that I should make party or
political speeches. I ON cut of from
this, and I am quite willing TO be cut of
from Il. You are probably aware that
in Washington and elsewhere. before /
started on this trip through to the Pa
ciHc Coast and tho States OF the West,
there was talk that il. would be a journey
for political effect, and that II was not
proper for the President Of the Republic
to make such journeys among the
people. Before / started, however, I
looked back to see what p%rscedsnts i
could and-to see what other Presi.
dents before me had done. ]
found that Washington had taken a
Journey OF three months and sixteen
days duration, travelling about l76O
miles In that time. going as far On
Georgia, and visiting several States Of
the Union. He Travelled In his own car
rage, with several attendants on horse
back. Before leaving he addressed o
letter to his Cabinet, giving instructions
what was to be done In certain cases. and
signing and leaving behind blank docu-
ments OF various kinds. as he was going
away into Q region where 1t would be q
difficult matter to communicate with
him. Now, however. as far as the Pres'
