reception given President Harrison by the
people of the "MaRic City"
Booming of cannon and shouting from
thousands of throats greeted the appear
ance of the President and party on the
platform of the train. The temporary
platform had been erected in the station,
and to this the President was escorted by
the Governor and Mayor. The enthusiast
tic shouts of the concourse ceased when
Governor Jones on behalf of the State
eloquently and feelingly welcomed the
President to Alabama. The President
then made an address which was vigor
ously applauded.
A military and civic parade had been
formed to escort the President through
the principal streets, and he went from
the platform to an open carriage drawn
by four caparisoned horses, the leaders
led by grooms. With him were Governor
Jones and Mayor Lane. The procession
made the circuit of the city, headed by
mounted police. Following in order
were bands of music. the Birmingham
Rifles, military companies from Selma
and Montgomery, G. A. R. Posts, Posts of
Confederate veterans, then the President
followed by the Presidential party in car
riages, Governor staff, mounted; alder
men and citizens committees.
He Kissed the Children.
AS the procession passed the Opera
House the members of a travelling opera
company sang America" and on one of
the principal streets the school children
of the city were assembled en- masse. AS
the carriage containing the President was
passing the children two little tots
stepped forward and handed the President
q beautifully illuminated address from
all the school children in the city. Step
ping down to the ground he kissed each
of the little ones who made the presenta-
ton. The crowd cheered and the chill
dren sang America" as the President
drove on.
The drive ended at the Caldwell Hotel,
where cars were taken by the Presidential
party to South Highlands, where birds
eye view of the city was obtained. The
party returned from Highlands to the
Caldwell Hotel, where a short reception
was held, after which about 800 ladies
and gentlemen sat down with the Presi-
Dental party to an informal lunch. Presi-
dent Harrison then went to q reception
given him by the colored cititiZens at the
10th Street Baptist Church and responded
briefly to an address of welcome. After
the reception he was driven to the train,
which left for Memphis amid cheers of
an immense crowd.
