no display at the house as General
Garfield and his family drove off in
an unpretentions close carriage,
they merely waving pleasant
goodbye to the few who re-
manned. As the carriage con-
tanning General Garfield drove up to
the depot platform, a shout
went from 5000 throats, and the
bands playing lively, added to the
excitement of the appreciative
crowds. After assisting the ladies
to their car, Gen. Garfield returned
to the platform, where Hon. o. l..
Tucker, of Painsville, delivered a
farewell address, to which Gen. Gar
field, with head uncovered, res
ponded as follows:
FeLIo1C-citize1lS and aleighborS Of
Lake County Il thank you for
your cordial and kindly greeting
and farewell. You have come fron
your homes, than which no happier
are known in this country, from this
beautiful lake side full of all that
makes country life happy, to give
me your blessing and farewell. You
do not know how much | leave be-
mind of friendship and confidence,
and home-like happiness; but l
know l am indebted to this whole
people for acts of kindness. of
neighbOrly friendship, of political
confidence, Of public support, that
few men have ever enjoyed at the
hands of any people. You are a
part of this great community of
northern Ohio, which, for so many
years, has had no political aspira-
lions but the good of your country !;
no wish, but the promotion of lib
erty and justice; have had no choice,
but the building up of all that was
worthy and true in our republic. If
l were to search all over the world
[ could not find a better model of
political spirit, of aspirations for
truth and right, than l have found
in this community. During the
present occasion people have hon
Ored me with their confidence. L
thank the citizens of this county for
their kindness, and especially my
neighborhood of Mentor, who have
done so much to make my home a
refuge and joy; whose acts l cannot
now speak of. but l shall carry to
the discharge of the duties that lie
before me, and in which ! may
merit a sense of your confidence
and your love, which will always be
by my gratitude. Neigh |
bors, friends and constituents fare
well AT o'clock the tram moved |
off and the crowd dispersed, first |
giving three rousing cheers.
Ashtabula, o., 2S.-The first stop
Of General Garfeld's train was made |
at this point, where there was
large turn out at the depot and his
arrival was signaled by a salute
from two heavy pieces of ordnance.
). a. Pettlbone, prosecuting at
JOrney for the district, on behalf of
,he eeople of Garfeld's old Astha-
Dula district, wished him a God
speed upon his departure to fill the
higher Office to which he had been
;alled. General Garfield had but
short time for reply in which,
'efering to the planting of the great
rec of the republican party, he
aid: "If, in the future, can help
o garner the harvest that you
rave helped to plant, l shall feel
hat l have done something toward
lischarching the debt of gratitude s
which L owe for your confidence !
nd love-" Amid the cheering
which followed General Garfield's !
hanks and good bye the train
moved off at the rate of 40 to 80 !
niles an hour. :
Youngstown, o., 2S.-Dinner was :
nished by Gen. Garfield and his ,
'arty just before the special train
cached Warren. 1t is a significant
act that no wine was served at the .
able. The stop at Warren was very
rief, but the sightSeerS were more
numerous tnan at any other point
long the route, and the conStitu- q
nts of the preSident-elect stood on I
lp-tOe to get sight of his we'll =
noWn face and to hear his words.
'etween Warren and Youngstown I
lie flying train was greeted at fire. .
uent intervals by villagers who .
ad gathered in groups in the hope :
seeing Gen. Garfield. A few rods
)uth of Warren the train ran
trough a sheet of water, which
covered the track and
fused some alarm among the
dies, but no inconvenience was
lperienced. AT Warren, where the
of an introduction was
superfuous, Gen. Gar
Id said:
FeIIO1O Citizens of Warren I
ant 10 say one thing. / shall carry
way from this place one very def
te picture in my mind. 1t is of a
CUP of men, and l see some of
cir faces in this audience, who,
Iring my long term of public ser
ces, have never given a sign to me
at they had any personal wish to
atty except to see right princi-
es prevail and good government
(ApplauSe). say some
these men, in the most private
have never intimated
me that they had any personal
sh in the way of public office; but
ey have shown that they had the =
epest personal anxiety in having
good honest government, and to
We high and worthy principles of
bic liberty prevail. Now, if that
mpany of men, whose headquar-
$ have been in several places of d
is district, but notably in Warren, NJ,
uld be reinforced all over this pre-
1ntry, that would be the glory of or
N on whose shoulders and in nc nc
lose hearts l would find such reli- ali
&c and such confidence us would Of
Ike me feel it possible to get :
'ough. (Applause) "a voice
GU will get through" and l thank
i that you have brought The :
mory to me, now by your pres
,e. as l am about to leave you. l M
you farewell. mt
