THE PRESIDENTIAL TOUR.
| The Reception at Roanoke, Va
Scenes Along the Route Through
Virginia and East Tennessee-The
Presidents Addresses.
ROANOKE, Va, April 14.-The presi-
| dents train arrived here at $50 o'clock
this morning, having made the run from
Washington on schedule time. There
were no special incidents on the route.
Fifteen minutes were spent at Lynchburg
for the shifting the train from the Rich
mond and Danville road to the Norfolk
and Western. A large crowd was gathered
at the station, but there was no demon
stration. Another brief stop was made at
Blue Ridge, where a crowd gathered at the
station. The reception at Roanoke was
enthusiastic. The president shook hands
with many hundred people, and in response
to repeated demands made short speech
Mrs. Harrison was presented with hand
some bouquet. Many people obtained the
presidents autograph. The president
spoke as follows at Roanoke:
Ny Fellow Citizens: desire to thank
you very sincerely for this friendly greet
ing. The state of Virginia is entitled,
think, to high estimation among the states
for it's great history-for the contribution
it has made to the great story of our COM
mon country, This fact you discovered, I
think, long ago. For personal reasons I
the state of my fathers. 1 am glad to con-
graduate you upon the marvellous develop
ment which has come, and the greater,
which is coming, to your commonwealth.
You not only have an illustrious story be-
hind it, but before it prospects of develop
ment in wealth and prosperity in all that
makes great state such as never entered
into the Imagination of those who laid the
foundation of the commonwealth. [Cheers.
You are reusing now to a realization of
the benefits of the diversity of the indus
tries. In the olden time Virginia was
plantation state. I hope she may never
cease to have large agricultural interests.
1t is the foundation of stable society. But
rejoice with you that she has added to
agriculture the mining of coal and iron
and bringing these from their beds is pro-
ducing all the products that enter into the
uses of life. In this is the secret of that
great growth illustrating what see about
me here, and the promise of a future
which none of US can fully realize. In all
of these things we have a common inter-
est, and beg to assure you that in every
thing that tends to the social order of your
people and the development and increased
prosperity of the state of Virginia am in
most hearty sympathy with it. [Cheers.
IN EAST TENNESSEE.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 14.-The resi-
dents of Knoxville turned out en- masse
this evening to do honor to the president
and his cabinet officers. A military salute
was fred at six o'clock by the cadets of
the university of Tennessee, announcing
the arrival of the party. The people were
very enthusiastic and cheered the presi-
dent heartily. A carriage drawn by four
horses was placed at his disposal and he
was shown the principle points of interest
in the vicinity. The other members of
the party were also provided with car
riages A public reception was held at
the Hatton house and Colonel w. A. Hen
derson delivered an address of welcome to
which the president responded in part as
follows: We may safely differ about
policies; we may safely divide upon the
question to what shall be the
law, but when the law is once
enacted no community can safely divide on
the question of implicit obedience to the
law. 1t is the one rule of conduct for US
all. I may not choose as president what
laws will enforce, and the citizen may
not choose what laws he will obey. Upon
| this broad principle our institutions rest.
If we save it all the agitations and tumults
of our campaigns, exciting though they
| may be, will be harmless to move out gov
| eminent from its safe and abiding founda-
| ton. If we abandon it all is gone. There
| fore, my appeal everywhere is to hold the
law in veneration and reverence. We
have no other king; public officers are
your servants; but in the august and
majestic presence of the law we all I'M
| cover and bow the knee. May every pros
| perity attend you; may this ground, made
memorable by one of the most gallant as
saults and by one of the most successful
defenses in the story of the war, never
again be stained by blood, but may our
people, in one common love of one flag and
one constitution in a common and pervad
ing fealty to the great principles of oul
government, go on to achieve material
wealth and in social development, in intel
ligence, in piety, in everything that makes
a nation great people happy, secure al
the Lord has in his mind for nation thai
he has consequently blessed. [Great and
prolonged cheering.
The party then re-entered their car
riages and started for the train, but they
had not gone far when the horses drawing
the carriage containing Secretary Rusl
and others took fright and dashed into tn
presidents carriage. There was great ex
element for the moment, as both tn
president and Mrs. Harrison seemed to b.
in imminent danger. They managed, how
ever, to get out of the carriage uninjured
The frightened horses were finally con
trolled.
Greenville, Tenn, the home of Andrey
johnson, was specially cordial in its wei
come to the presidential party, one featur
of which was the waving of flags and tn
footing of horns. The president made
speech. When Morristown was reache
the president was again called to the plat
form for speech. He said:
