MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 15.-After Wis
iting and inspecting various mill yards this
morning President Harrison and party were
driven to the depot and boarded the special
train. The visitors were met by great
crowd on the platform and by delegation
from Concord composed of Hons. John @.
Pearson of Penacook and William a. Mitchell
of Littleton, of the Senate, and Hons. 81. W.
Greene of Hopkinton, Robert N. Chamberlain
of Berlin and others. The train departed
amid the cheers of the crowd, President Har-
rison bowling his farewell from the rear plat
form.
CONCORD, Aug. 15.-The run from Man.
chester was quick one and was made with
out stop. Preparations for the coming OF
the President had besn made and the business
blocks on Main street were quite generally
decorated and national flags stretched across
the driveway at frequent intervals. The
President was met at the depot by Mayor
Humphrey, Adjutant General Ayling and the
Grand Army posts Of Concord, Penacook and
West Concord acting as escorts. The party
were assigned places in landaus and driven
to the capitol in drizzling rain, which did
not, however, dampen the enthusiasm of tho
spectators who lined the streets en- route.
The President was escorted to the council
chambers and cordially greeted by Governor
Goodel, members of his council, state officers
and large number of distinguished citizens
were assembled there, among them being
Senator Chandler, Congressman Moose,
State auditor Paterson, General ]. 81. Potter,
q. S. A., and ex-Congressman Gallinger,
who seconded Harrison's nomination in the
Chicago convention. After each had been
presented, the President was taken in charge
by the governor and escorted to Doric hall,
where New Hampshire battle flags are kept.
Here comrades Of the Grand Army were in
troduced and pleasantly greeted by the
President. The introduction of the city dig
nataries followed, after which, under escort
of Governor Goodsell, the President went to
the representatives joint convention. The
President was met by President Taggart of
the senate and Speaker Upton of the house
and escorted to the platform. Gov Goodsel
then said
Gentlemen of the legislature: The President Of
the United States prolonged cheersl. The Pres-
dent will be pleased to shake the hands Of the mem
hers Of the legislature"
The officers of the legislature began ar
rangements for a personal introduction OF the
members to the President. Before they could
carry out their purpose, however, the Presi-
dent arose and addressed the legislature as
follows:
the legislature of New Hampshire for the cordial
ing believe the trainers Of ali our constitutions
State well national, are careful to recognize
partments Of the the government; but am sure the
careful and wise trainers OF these instruments dld
may meet you here this morning as American citi-
zens, charged, as you are with responsible public
IN ne thas upon s
high and consecrated purpose to serve the public
ends for which our State and national governments
are organized and in respective places to do
what we can to maintain social order, to promote
education and Intelligence and to lift up, first at
home, that the lustre may be seen abroad the dig
nifty and honor of American citizenship"
At the conclusion of the address the dense
audience which completely filed the cham
Der, Hobbies and galleries, manifested their
pleasure in the Presidents speech by loud
and long continued applause. The joint
convention was then dissolved and the house
adjourned, following which came the individ-
ual introductions to the President of the
members of the legislature, included among
whom were two who voted for the Presidents
grandfather. During this ceremony the
crowd of. people anxious to greet the
President had become so great in the halls
that it was necessary to lock the doors. From
the legislative chamber the President was
escorted to a stage which had been erected in
front of the capitol, where, as he appeared
with Governor Goodell and staff, he was
warmly cheered by the thousands assembled
to see him. The Governor introduced the
President
President Harrison stood with his hat in
hand and overcoat on arm looking at the
crowd moment, and then spoke as follows:
My fellow ctizens-That public man is dull in
deed who does not derive instruction and inspira-
ton from frequent contact with the masses of our
people; when from those who are about him and
are pressing considerations personal to themselves
he turns to the great body of the oople who have

economically administered, and that the laws shall

themselves well in the discharge of their duties
From that source he cannot fail to find always rest

day. will not detain you under the inauspeious
| than to say again. 4 thank you and good by"
The presidential party left on the $50
| train amid prolonged cheering.
FALL RIVER, Aug. 15.-From Concord to
Fall River the trip was a series of ovations,
the number being limited only by the stops
that were made, and each having a peculiar
characteristic of its own. Nashua was the
only city where, after Concord, the President
left the train There accompanied by Gov
| ernor Goodell and staff, as we'll as by other
prominent men, he was driven through the
| city from one spot to the other under the es-
| cort of Grand Army posts and militia and
| amid the usual demonstrations. At Lowell a
positively immense throng of people
| crowded the depot, and after a
| brief stop the train proceeded over the Fran
L fSt,a Val
| Governor Goodell left the car at Nashua and
| Surgeon General Holt, of Massachusetts,
came on board as the representative of Gov
| ernor Ames. He travelled on the car to
South birmingham and then babe the Presi-
| dent good-by the latter saying, after shaking
hands, "give my kind regards TO the Gov
! ernor." President Choate of the Old Colony
railroad, and Division Superintendent Mar
shall, the former being accompanied by his
| wife, travelled with the President to Fall
River. They were the only people with the
President and Secretary Halford when the
| train left South Framingham, except the
correspondents and trainmen and when
the platform at Fall River was
reached at 7:10 p. IN. Mr.. and Mrs. Choate
escorted the President through lines of spec
tators to room No. 1913 on the steamer Pill
grim. The boat had long list of passengers.
Those who were on the upper deck leaned
| over and cheered the President as he went on
l board, while others joined in greeting him as
/ he walked through the saloon.
An interesting disclosure made just then
! was that ex.President Cleveland would travel
on later boat to night. The President had
thought he might meet Mrs. Harrison at Fall
River and travel to Washington with her, but
she will not leave Nantucket until Friday, as
he fonnd out before leaving Manchester. he
is timed to reach Washington tomorrow af.
ternoon, and Saturday afternoon he will star,
for Deer Park, where he will stay short time
before going to Indianapolis to lay the corner
| stone of soldiers monument.
