MENTOR, O., Feb. 2S.-The day which Gen.
Garfield has set for his journey tor Washlng-
ton dawned bright and cheerful, with the
heavy mud of the proceeding day dried or
frozen. so that the passage from Lawntield to
the Mentor depot, a distance OF mile ana q
half, was early made in carriages or on loot'
which latter was the mode OF locomouon
chiefly employed by the gentlemen visitors.
There were furries of snow during the lore
noon. but at 1890, the time fixed for departure
of ths train, the air was crisp and clear, and

At ASHTABULA.
AsHrABULA, O., Feb 28.--The first stop OF
Gen. Garfeld's train was made at this point.
There was very large turn out at the depot
with two military companies and two heaVy
pieces of ordnance, which alternately saluted
the coming President During the fifteen
minutes of the trains stay here the enthusl-
astic greeting Of the citizens curtailed the
time for speech making, but gave ample op-
portnnity for witnessing the respect and ad-
miration which exists in his own section Tor
the man who has so long Represented this part
of the State in Congress. F. A Pettibone,
prosecuted attorney of this county, expressed
this sentiment in o neatly turned speech, to
which Gen. Garfield responded as follows:
Fellow citizens of Ashtabula: ! greatly
thank you for this greeting. can't forget the .
tree that was planted so many years ago and
its planting so far watched and assisted by the
people of Ashtabula county. 1t has grown to
be a great tree; ita branches cover the whole
republic and its leaves and fruit are liberty to
ali men. That is work for the citizens OF
Ashtabula county to be proud OF to the latest
generation. If, as your Representative, have
helped on the cause you have so much at
heart, I am glad, and if in the future l can
help to confirm and strengthen what you have
done so much to build--lf can help to garner
the harvest that you have helped to plant
shall feel that 1 have done something towards
dschargipg the debt of gratitude which owe
for your confidence and love. | thank you,
fellow citizens, for this farewell greeting, and
bid you good-by. Great cheerlngl.
The speech was received with the closest
attention, and in almost breathlesS silence,
which was broken at its closing period by
round after round Of applause, supplemented
with three cheers as the train moved on.
delay was experienced just out of Ashtabula,
where Mr.. j. D. Laying, general manager OF
the Pennsylvania company, came upon another
train, and was taken on board to go through
to Washington. Conductor Major F. Scott
and Engineer Daniel Dougherty, veterans in
the service OF the company, were put In charge
of the train, which then moved off at the rate
of 40 TO 80 miles an hour.
AT wARRES.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., Feb. % Dinner was
finished by Gen. Garfield and his party just
before the special train reached Warren. It is
a noteworthy and significant fact that no wine
was served at the table. The stop at Warren
was very brief, but the slght-seers were more
numerous than at any point along the route,
and driving snow storm did not chill the
ardor of the neighbors and constituents OF the
President elect, who craned their necks and
stood on tiptoe to get sight of his we'll
known face, and to hear his words. Betw cen
Warren and Youngstown the flying train was
greeted at frequent intervals by villagers who
had gathered In groups in the hope Of seeing
General Garfield. At Niles, very large num-
Der of people stood on the depot platform, but
the schedule time couldn't permit of stoppage.
Hundred of sturdy workers in the furnaces,
this side of Niles, gave rough but hearty
greeting to the distinguished citizen whom
they had often helped to honor. A few rods
south of Warren the train ran through a sheet
of water, which completely cover
ed the track, and caused some
alarm among the ladies, who were
SURPRISED at the train of cars apparently afoat
in a large body of water. No inconvenience
was experienced, however, and Youngstown
was reached without further incident.
The following is Gen. Garfeld's speech at
Warren, where he was not introduced to the
people, that ceremony being considered super
fiuous:
Fellow citizens of Warren: did not expect
to see so great number in this snow-storm;
but I am glad to see You for a moment
before leaving your district, and
especially glad to see some faces
l have known for so many years, in so many
times of peril and difficulty. Before leaving
you want to say one thing: Ishall carry away
from this place one very definite picture in
my mind. 1t is group of men, and l see
some of their faces in this audience, who du-
ring my long public service, have never given
sign to me they had any personal wish to
crafty except to see right principles prevail
and good government maintained. applause J
I saw some of these men, in the most private
conversation, have never intimated to
ms that they had any personal wish in the way
of public Office, but they have shown that
they had the deepest personalanx;ety in hav-
ing good honest government, and high
worthy principles of public liberty prevail
