OMAHA, Neb.,. May 14.-The presi-
Dental train arrived at 11:30, on time.
There was o great crowd at the station,
drawn there by the threats of the Boyd
sy1npathizers to hiss Governor Thayer.
Calmer counsels prevailed, however,
and there was no disturbance attempted
by the disaffected ones.
Nowhere has the president received
heartier or more enthusiastic welcome
than was accorded him by the citizens
of Omaha. The people turned out en-
mAsse in honor of the occasion, and they
cheered the president nearly the entire
time of his appearance in the city in
public.
On the arrival Of the party the pro-
cession was at once formed and went di-
rectly through the decorated streets,
lined with people, to the court house.
Here the presidential party alighted and
entered the grand stand. Mayor Cush-
ing wecomed the chief magistrate to
OMAHA and the president responded as
follows:
