to be heard upon the borders OF the great

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Fellow citizens Of Virginia-While
thank you most sincerely for your kind re.
ception, and recognize iu it's heartiness the
hospitality for which the people of Virginia
have always been distinguished. / am fully
aware that your demonstration OF wei.
come is-intended, not to me as an individ-
ual, but to an incumbent of an office
that crowns the government of the United
States. The state of Virginia, the mother
of presidents, seven OF whose sons have
filled that high office, to-day greets pres
ident who for the first time meets Virgin
myself that my first introduction to the
people of Virginia occurs at q time when
they are surrounded by exhibits OF the
productiveness aud prosperity of their
state. Whatever there msy be OF honor in
her history, and however much of pride
there may be in her traditions. her true
greatness is here exemplifed. In our sis
ter hood of states the leading and most
place must be gained and
kept by the commonwealth which by the
LABOR AND INTELLIGENCE
of her citizens can produce most OF these
things which meet the necessities and de-
sires of mankind. But the full advantage
of that which may be yielded to the
state by he toll and ingenuity of her
people ia not measured alone by the money
value of her products. The efforts and
of her farmers and her artisans
not only create new values in the field OF
agriculture, and in arts aud manufactures,
but they at the same time produce rugged,
aud independent men who cnl-
tivate that product which, more than all
others. enables q state to become pros
American citizenship.
This will flourish in every part OF the
American domain. Neither drought nor
rain can injure it, for it takes root in true
hearts reached by love of country. There
are no new varieties in this production. 1t
m ust be the came wherever seen and it's
quality is never sonnd nor genuine unless
il grows to deck and beautify an entire
and united nation, nor unless it supports
and sustains institutions and governments
to protect American liberty and
happiness. The present administration Of
the government is pledged to return for
such husbandry not only promises but
actual tenders of frmness and justice with
equal protection and full participation in
national achievements. If in the past we
have been estranged the cultivation OF
the enthusiastic welcome ofto.daykdemon-
strates that there's an end to estrange-
ments and that the time OF
SUSPICION AND FEAR
succeeded by an era OF faith and confidence
in such kindly atmosphere, and beneath
such cheering skies I greet the people OF
Virginia as co-laborers in a field where
grows the love OF our united country. God
grant that in years to come, Virginia, the
old dominion, the mother OF presidents,
she who looked on the nation at its birth
day, may not only increase her trophies OF
growth in agriculture and manufactures.
but may she be among the first OF all states
in the bold station of true American citi-
zenship.
The President was frequently inter
rupted by hearty applause and when ne
concluded the immense crowd Joined IN q
perfect ovation of cheers. Col. Beverly
then introduced in the order named Secre-
taries Bayard and Endicott, Postmaster
General Villas and Commissioner OF Agri-
culture Coleman. Each WAS greeted with
cheers which they simply acknowledged by
bowing, it having been understood that
further speech making would not be in or
der. Among the ladies on the partico from
which the speaking took place were Mrs.
Lee and Miss Minnie Davis, to whom Presl-
dent Cleveland was introduced and with
whom he spent few moments in conver-
sation. The party we're then escorted to
the Headquarters OF the President OF the

troops white and colored. Alter the re-
view the President held a public reception
