pros,aor, uorMrisson ot tbe accompanied by
close of the War the uranu army
of the Republic posts and COM
pany of the Illinois National
Guard appeared to escort the party to
the train. The march was triumphal
one and all Peoria turned out to do
homage to the Chief Executive. AT the
depot over 5000 people were assembled
and the President, being introduced by
Mayor Starke, spoke briefly. At the con-
| clusion of the speech Elsie Leslie Lyde,
| the child actress, on behalf of the
citizens of the Grand Army post of Pc
oria, presented to the President beau
tiful bouquet The President stopped
and kissed her. Three hearty cheers
were given for the President as Mr..
| Bishop gave the signal and the train
pulled out of the station. Breakfast
was ready in the dining-room of the car,
and the President was served immedi-
ately after leaving the station.
The reception at Galesburg was
marked by the greatest enthusiasm. A
tremendous crowd gathered at the de-
pot and choered as the train pulled
| in. The streets converging at the de-
pot were thronged with people. A
grand stand had been erected. 1t was
surrounded by the crowd, and was
bedecked with flags. On the top
of each of the pillars which sup
ported the arch over the stand young
lady stood impersonating the Goddess
of Liberty. Upon the vast arch
beneath which the President stood
were the words: I'VE Welcome Our
President"
Shortly after II o'clock there passed
in review of the President in front of
the stand, the veterans of the Twentieth
Army Corps. $500 school children of
| Central Illinois, and thousands of citi-
zens.
At the conclusion of the parade the
party repaired to the speakers stand in
front of the courthouse, where Mayor
Stevens formally welcomed the Presi-
dent to Galesburg.
The President responded briefly to
the address of welcome, thanking the
citizens of Galesburg and Illinois for
their cordial greeting.
The President was followed by Sec
retary Tracy, who made brief speech,
confining his remarks chiefly to the
silver question in its relation to tho
agricultural problem. General Gros-
venor, of Ohio, and others followed
The party now repaired to Knox Col
lege where the cornerstone of the
alumni hall was to be laid by the Pres
ident DIR. Newton Bateman, president
of Knox College, pronounced the in
vocation, and Prof. Milton Comsto
read a sketch of the origin and growth
of the college. Prof. j. A. Adams in
troduced the President, who spoke
briefly.
Following this the cornerstone was
placed in position, and the President,
with trowel, carefully closed it and
covered the seams with mortar. Great
applause greeted this performance,
which brought the ceremonies to an
end.
In the afternoon the President met
his brigade in the opera-house, and it
was to him evidently the most interest
!
upon the stage alone, and was greeted
with storm of cheers.
President Harrison was notified by
General Dustin, as he appeared on the
stage, of his election as president OF
the brigade and was requested to pre-
side. General Iiarrison's speech was
filled with pathetic and amusing anec-
dotes. Among other things he said:
81 do not anticipate that we shall have an
other rebellion in any quarter or from any
cause. One attempt has thoroughly diseour'
aged others. Laughter and applause ]
The futility of IL was thoroughly es'
tablished, as well as the fact that
the overwhelming mass of our people
will in any danger-I do not care what its or
gin, whether II be from rebellion or the uplit'
ing of the flag Of anarchy-rise in their might
with weight of sentiment that, like one oi
the grent Alpine ayalanches or the gla'
ciers will sweep away any thing which Is
lifted against the orderly well-being of this
country Of ours. [Great applause There
stand in our places young men, Just such as
YOU were when the last war broke out filled
just as you were with devotion to the country
and ready to step into the ranks when any
enemy foreign or domestic, assails the honoi
of the flag" [Applause.l
When the speech-making was over ali
gave three cheers for Harrison as Presi'
dent of the United States and three
cheers for him as president OF the
brigade
The Phi Delta Theta banquet in odd
Fellows Hall next made demands on
the President and was the most elabor'
ate spread of the day.
The brigade banquet at the First
Christian Church, which followed i'm
mediately after, was given by the citi
zens and prepared by the ladies OF the
church. 1t was an elaborate affair and
was enjoyed by $50 of the brigade. Al
its conclusion the Presidential party
left to take the train for Burlington.
