Governor and President Swap
Compliments.
ALBANY, n. Y.,Aug. 1S.-The special
train bearing President Harrison and
party reached here shortly before 6
O'Clock. A presidential salute greeted
the party. They were driven to
the city hall square, where
thousands waited about a platform
on which were seated Mayor Manning,
Gov. Hill and the state officers. The
president received an ovation as he ap-
preached the front of the platform.
Mayor Manning then welcomed the
president on behalf of the city, after
which Gov. Hill welcomed the presi-
dent, on behalf of the state, as follows:
1.-The limited time at your disposal
here renders it appropriate that L
should express the sentiments of the
people of the state in the fewest words
possible. The citizens of the Empire
state receive you with profound
respect and greet you with the greatest
pleasure ON this occasion; not only be-
cause yOuare the honored chief magiS-
trate of the notion, ut because of their
appreciation of your high char
acter and eminent public service.
They recall with interest your
many patriotic speeches during your
recent memorable trip in the
South and West, and shall content my
self with simply saying that in behalf
of the state of New York tender you
cordial and sincere welcome"
President Harrison replied in part as
follows: "Gov. Hill. Mr.. Mayor and
Fellow Citizens: l receive with great
qualification the very cordial express
siOns which have fallen from the lips OF
his excellency, the governor of this
great state, and of his honor, the mayor
gratifying to he thus assured that as
American citizens. as public officers adj
ministering each different functions
in connection with the government of
the nation, of the state and of the
municipality, we, in common with this
great body of citizens, whose servants
we all are. have that common love for
our institutions, and that common re-
spect for those, who by the appointed
constitutional methods, have been
chosen to administer them, as on such
occasions as this to entirely obliterate
all differences and bring us together in
the great and enduring brotherhood OF
American citizens.
II am one of those that believe that
these men from your shops, these farm
erS remote from money centerS, have
the largest interest of all people in the
world III having dollar that is worth
100 cents every day in the year, and
only such. If by any chance we should
fall into a condition where one dollar is
not so good as another, venture the as
sertion that the poorer dollar will do its
first errand in paying some poor
labOrer for his work. Therefore, in the
conduct of our public affairs, L feel
pledged for one that all the influence of
the government should be Oh the side
of giving the people only good money,
and Just as much of that kind as we can
get.
Nov, my fellow citizens. we have
this year a most abundant-yeS, eX-
traordinary-grain crop.
This is our opportunity, and l cannot
see how it shall be possible but that the
exports of grain., now reaching the
limit of the capacity of our railroads
and of our ships, shall soon bring back
to us the lost gold we sent to Europe
and more that we did not lose. Where
there has been complaint. where there
has been poverty, there must come this
year plenty, for the gardens have loaded
burdens that hang upon reddenIng
limbs, and that granaries are not equal
to the product of our fields"
The party boarded the special train
which left here about GAS p. IN. for
Bennington, but before leaving the
president received in his car a commit
tee OF citizens of Troy. led by Gen. Jo-
seph G. Carr. When Troy was reached
at $50, workmen just from the shops
gravitated toward the station to
await the arrival of the presidential
party. The train moved with diff
Guilty through the thrOng. 1t was the
nOisest demonstration of the day, and
when the train stopped the president
made brief speech. Secretary Proc
tor, Gen. Carr and Postmaster Warner,
of Albany, travelled with the president
from Albany to North Bennington,
where they arrived at S:15 o'clock.
There the president was met by j. g..
Mccullough, and was driven, with Sec
retary Proctor, Russell Harrison and
his secretary, to the Mccullough resi-
dence, where they dined at o'clock.
