can Success.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 26.-An immense | crowd of people were in this city to greet General Grcnt, who arrived here on a special ] train at 11:45. The procession of the Boys in Blue was not as successful as was antici-
 pated, owing to the weather The spacious l drill room at the armory was packed. General Grant was made president of the meeting and spoke as follows
 am here among you at your request, and although cannot say much shall say enough to show you the interest have in the cause of the Republican party. If did not feel deep interest in the cause would not be here. l am here because believe it to be to the in terest of all and of the impression that the Republican party should succeed. I have many friends among the Democrats. Some of them are the best friends I have in the world, and some of them I like as well as any man under the sun. They are good men. Even Ii the Democratic party was composed of such men should still be a Republican but should not feel so deeply grieved if the Democrats should win. But admitting that this were true, and do not admit it, the country would not be secure under Demo cratic administration. You know well that the bulk of the Democratic party is in the southern States, and it is impossible that this limited number of people should control this country.

If they get con trol of the country all our industries will lan- gulsh from the farm to the manufactory We don't want to see this. If it were so the North with it's free schools, its wonderful en- ergy and it's ingenuity would have to endure years of toll to regain its old position. To prevent this you must do your best, as will, to elect Garfield and Arthur

I thought so myself until a few days ago, when I heard south ern orator in addressing an audience of col ored men say they were mistaken in suppos- ing they were emancipated by the proclama- tion of Lincoln, that by the terms of that proclamation they were given ninety days in which to yield, but they fought right on and consequently the negroes were indebted to the Democratic party for emancipation. I now introduce to you gentleman who can speak to you better than can, General S. L. Woodford
 The noise prevented any one but the re- porters from hearing anything after General Grant closed. Woodford and others made speeches. General Grant went to Auburn by special train, returning this evening to re- view the torchight procession. Five thou sand men were in line in spite of the rain

 Ladies and gentlemen-You have no idea what it is for me to look out on this circle of faces There have been good many strangers in this yard within the last two weeks There are some strangers per haps here but in this circle along this line are faces that float back to the memory of twenty years ago, memories of struggles, memories full of questions full of events, full of friendship and of private friendship of this western for the riods of at least eighteen years. You cannot know what strength it brings friends who have stood by not me alone but by the that they believed represented, and have stood by it in the useful, earnest, intelligent forcble and eff fective manner during all these years. Why,H see men in this circle who in the whole course of this long time have never betrayed to by any sign or word that they had the least purpose of their it's best interests, and their friendship me was largely if not altogether because they thought capable of rendering service the cause they loved and the country they revered- (Applause) Well, with such friendship around him, with such supports behind him, would be an utter poor piece of timber if he did not amount to something (Applause) Out of the soil of such hearts these, grow all that is best in our and under our institutions. know what awaits in future. I discount it so far it relates to myself. I allow myself to be elated with what may nor depressed with what may not, be; but I do say this, that cannot conceive the time when the friendship of these gathered in this yard to-day be anything but dear to me and of the greatest possible value in strengthening my heart and hope and work, whatever the field of my work may be. (Applause) thank you, gentlemen that out of this indictment day and all the circumstances you have made your way to my home, that you have formed 8 circle about it that will not disappear when you are upon this portal that circle my old constit- life circling about my door. (Applause.l welcome you and hope you will not go away until have the privilege of taking each of you by the hand. (Ap pause)
