morning opened with a Frightening sky
and promise of clear weather, so that the
farmers at distance were well under way
for iRoseland Park before the clouds thick
ene6 and changed the prospects for the
day. Before 10 o'clock it was driZEling.
Nevertheless, the crowd came. Congress
man Russell raped the company to order,
end after few pleasant words OF welcome
to the President and the other visitors and
to the people assembled, he nominated
Governor Buckley for Chairman of the
day. The Governor, in brief speech. ac-
cepted the honor, and expressed the pleas
ure he entertained in officially welcoming
and presenting TO the audience the Presi-
dent. Hearty applause and ringing cheers
greeted the President as he rose. He spoke
in part as follows:
Mr. President and iel0c-c6li-eRs. ladies and gen
tlealen: did not know until this morning that
the programme would contain any mention of
my name at all. But it would be altogether
uncivil if did not, after this opportunity haV-
ing been offered me, express my thanks TO those
of you. who are gathered to-day, and to him
upou whose hospitable invitation you have
gathered, for the friendly and cordial greeting
which you have given me, not only here to- day,
but in my progress hither yesterday. l am sure

AS the President resumed his seat three
cheers were given with a will.
Senator Hawiey and Justice Miller made
brief address. Congressman Reed of
Maine was the next speaker. His subiecG
was The Victoro." Among his utter
arceS were these: The Republican party
won a great victory last November, but
something more is demanded by the peo-
pie of the United States. 1t behooves the
people, therefore, to consider Just how
much of power they have granted, and Just
how much they have right to require
After touching briefly on the tariff ques-
ton, the subject of pensions and the mat
ter of national education, Mr.. Reed con-
tended that the question of the suppress

national elections, whoever by the
Constitution and law are entitled to

due time of the Republican members of
Congress to say, after a full, free and i'm
partial conference with all Republicans,

After warmly denouncing the methods
of tlibustering as tactics to defeat the pub
lie will, Reed added that unless some
remedy be found we can expect nothing
from the next Congress or any other. But
there is remedy i'll plain sight, and that
is public sentiment. Let the people at
large but once understand the facts about
this practice of defeating public business,
and ne will be bold man who attempts il
in future.
When Mr.. Rsed had finished Secre-
tsries Noble and Tracy made remarks in
patriotic strain.
In the afternoon President Gates of Rit-
gers College and Senator Hiscock spoke,
and Will Carleton recited poem. Presi-
dent Harrison will leave tomorrow morn
