The train stopped ten minutes at Port
Jarvis, where Gen. Garfield was we'll received.
He said: "FelIow citizens, have learned in
the last few minutes two facts about this
country that are very interesting to me, and
if lived here should want to suggest it to
all citizens to take their young men on a
pilgrimage to witness the two things that 1
learn are near you. stone set up that
marks where three Strates touch each other.
Those States represent local interests and
local greatness, and are worthy of your
thought; but l would point the young of
your town to the stone which rep
resents the union of the States, and would
make it to them the monument of
that large union that unites all our States in
q great and glorious supreme government,
and l would make them reverence 1t. That
would be my first lesson to young men.
Again, would take them on the other side
of your railroad, to tie little hamlet not far
away pointed out to me on the train, where
was born, back in the last century. De Witt
Clinton, of New York, o man whose
whole life was baptized in the spirit of the
Union and helped to build his country; and
a man who illustrated the grandest of what
labor is by building up your great
system of canals that have done SO much for
the State of New York. The union on one
side and Dewitt Clinton on the other, to
teach our children that with labor and union
we are nation that can stand before the
world. This is the impression that my Jour-
ney has made upon me for the last few min
utes. give way to gentlemen that l am
sure you will be glad for few minutes to
hear. Senator Kirkwood, of Iowa, spoke
briefly. There were perhaps 5000 people
around the depot.
AT BINGHAMPToN.
When the train arrived at Binghsmpton
cannon we're fired, bands played, and great
enthusiasm was shown. Gen. Garfield spoke
as follows "Fellow citizens: What is one
amoug this multitude? How can one man
hope in the presence of these thousands,
these acres of people, to say anything ade-
quate to such welcome? 1 know of no man
who can make fitting response. Certainly
my voice cannot reach to the limits of this
great audience but step out for moment
to tell you how heartily l rejoice over such q
great, happy and prosperous assemblage in this
thriving city. Years ago was among you, and
/ remember your hospitality. I remember
your intelligence snd generosity. This por-
ton of New York has associations and rela-
tionships TO me that cannot forget. Just
away on the road leading from here, not
many miles, is the spot where my father was
born. l have long desired TO visit it and I
am as near it to-day as shall bs on this
journey. Fellow citizens, there is no topic
that 1 can discuss. There is no speech that
shall undertake to make beyond thanking
you and expressing the belief that this
great assemblage meant tribute to our
nation, to it's integrity, IFS greatness, its
possibility, the we'll being of its people, the
dignity of labor and harmony and peace of
onr whole population under liberty and law.
thank you for this greeting" Loud and
continued applause. The train departed,
saluted by the crowd, among whom were
military organizations and many ladies.
AT wAvERLY.
Gen. Garfield was somewhat hoarse when
Waverly was reached and spoke very briefly,
saying: Fellow citizens: Over these acres OF
people no mans voice can reach, and do
not attempt to speak to you, but will ask a
man to speak whom some of these old men
will know when 1 mention his name. Forty
years ago this country rang from one end to
the other with the name of General William
Henry Harrison. His grandson is on this
platform and will speak to you (Oheers.)
