eral Garfield stepped out of the carriage, the
cheers broke forth again and were re-
peated over and over. Marshall Jewell
and Ex-Governor Mccormick accompanied
General Garfield to Room 3d. which had been as
signed for his use. Few persons, and those ones of
prominence or who had some business above stairs,
were allowed to pass beyond the lower lobbies, so
that General Garfelds own could not be be-
sieged. and lie had an opportunity to wash away
some of the dust gathered on the railroad ride.
considerable number of prominent Republicans,
however, found their way above stairs and either
moved around the parlors awaiting the time when
General Garfield should come out. or else-as was
the case in a few instances-they were admitted to
his room to speak with him there.
A WORD FROM GENERAL GARFIELD.
No arrangements had been made for any formal
reception. and it was General Garfelds desire be-
cause of ms fatigue, that he might be allowed to
rest and that little demonstration possible
should be made last But it was plain that
the throng outside. which had been constantly
growing in numbers, would not be con-
tent to go away until 1t had at
least had n glimpse of tho Repub-
lican nominee. 1t was thought best that this
wish should be Uat.Ged. Accordingly, at twenty
minutes after o'clock, General Garfield came from
his room with Mr. Jewell, Governor Mccormick
and several Others TO the parlOrs overlooking Fifth
ave. No sooner had glimpse Of General Garfield
at the window been caught than a great cheer went
up But when the windows opened and he
stepped ont upon tho balcony tho enthus-
asm became almost wild IN its intensity.
The immense throng extended far up and down
the street and blocked all available standing room
in the wide thorOughfare, while seemingly from
every throat were issuing cries ot enthusiasm, and
hats and handkerchiefs and umbrellas were waved
cff
three cheers for General Garfield. II was mposs-
BILE for anyone to hear his words, but their meaning
was readily guessed and as eagerly caught up. 1t
is a long time since such cheers have been heard in
the streets of New-York.
1t was with difficulty that the crowd could be-
come quiet enough TO hear the words of Marshall
Jewell, who SAID: | have the honor to present to
you General James A. Garfield, of Ohio.D Then the
cheers broke forth again with great vigor as be-
fore. General Garfield, when he could be heard
said in a voice that was hoarse and evidently worn;
Accept my thanks for your kind congratulations
and for your presence"
The people seemed disappointed that they were
not to have a speech but when General Garfield
stepped back into the parors and they saw that he
intended to retire. they gave him more cheers with
a will. General Garfield then went to his room.
