BURIED IN FLOWERS.
President Harrison Spends Another Giddy
Day In Visiting.

Day In visiting.
TOPEKA, kas., Oct. 10.-The stop Of the
presidential party at Atchison was brief.
The president was almost buried in fiow-
ers showered upon him by school chill
dren. Brief stops were made at several
other points and Topeka reached at l0;3O.
Senator Ingalls, received the party and
Governor Humphrey escorted them To the
state house, where they reviewed an i'm
mense parade which was over two hours
getting by. IL was composed Of United
States troops from Fort Leavenworth, the
state militia, the grand army and sons of
veterans. The Kansas G.. A. X. is hold
ing reunion here and there was nearly
thirty thousand veterans in line. They
cheered continuously as they passed the
president. Quite a number of them were
old lndianians and members of the presi-
dents brigade. When he recognized
many of them and called them by name,
the enthusiasm knew no bounds. After
lunch the president received many old
veterans, the state and city officials and
prominent citizens. The party then pro-
ceeded to the far grounds, where Gov
ernor Humphrey delivered an address of
welcome.
The president responded at consider
able length, thanking the governor and
citizens OF Kansas for their generous well
come, and expressed qualification at the
evidence of prosperity on every hand. To
the old veterans he said he was more
pleased than he could express To- see so
many Of them present, and hoped many
years might crown the brave defenders of
the union.
The president further said: "Who can
look upon this vast army OF soldiers, who
fought 10 the victorious consummation OF
the war for the union. without bowing his
head and heart in grateful reverence
Who can look upon these sons of vetcr-
ans. springing from patriotic ancestry,
full of the spirit Of '6l aud coming into
the vigor and strength OF manhood 10
take up the burdens that we must soon
lay down; and who, turning from these
to the sweet-faced children whose hands
are filed with flowers and flags, can fail
TO feel that these institutions of liberty
are secure for two generations at least
| The future is safe IL we are but true 10
ourselves, true To these children
| whose instruction is committed 10 us.
| There is no other Zoe that can
at all obstruct or hinder our onward
progress except treason in our midst
|
| pie OF our government which is obedience
TO the law. The Will Of the majority as ex-
pressed in orderly constitutional methods
is the only king to which we bow. But Ia
Him all must bow. Let il be understood
in all your communities that no selfish in
terest of the individual, no class interests
however entrenched, shall be permitted
20 assert their convenience against the
law. This Is good American doctrine, and
il il can be made To prevail in all the
states of theunion, until every man secure
under the law in his own right, is com
PEELED by the law To yield 10 every Other
man his rights, nothing can shake our re
pose. ..-,
There is some grumbIing In Kansas ant
think IL is because your advantages ar,
too great. A single year of disappoin
ment in agricultural returns should no
make you despair of the future or temp
you to unsafe expedients. Life is made
up of averages, and | think yours vii
show a good average. Let us look for
ward with hopes, with courage, fidelity
thrift. patience, good neighborly heart
aud patriotic love for the flag. Kansa
and her people have an assured anC
happy future"
Senator Ingalls,, Ex-Governor Anthon,
and others spoke briefly, and then tn
presidential party left for Kansas City.
