What hinders our people, possessing every
element of material wealth and endowed
with inventive genius and energy unsur
passed, from again having upon the seas
merchant marine, flying the flag of our
country and carrying its commerce into
every port!"
Brief speeches were made by Postmaster

out on the platform and bow her acknoWl
edgements.
At Johnson City, the party met with

President addressed them briefly. He
stand here in east Tennessee
among the people who so conspicuously and
at such a sacrifice during the hour of the
nations peril, stood by the flag and ad-
| hered TO their convictions OF public duty
! ICheers. And am especially glad to be
able to say that those who followed other
views of duty, took sides against US in that
struggle without division in voice or heart,
to-day praise Almighty God that he pre-
served us one nation. Chders. There is
no man, whatever his views upon the ques-
lions that then divided US, but in view of
the marvellous benefits which are dissent
mating themselves over these states, must
also bless God today that slavery no longer
exists, and that the union of free states is
indissoluble. Cheers. What is it that
has stirred the pulses of this great nation,
that his kindled these fires, that has
converted these retired and issolated
farms into centres of trade and mechan-
ical pursuits, bringing market close to the
doors OF the farmer and prosperity in every
home! 1t is that we have no line of dlvi-
sion between the states; it is that these
impulses of freedom and enterprise, once
limited in their operations, are now com.
mon in all the states. We have common
heritage. The confederate soldier has full
honorable, and ungrudged participation in
all the benefits of this great and just gov
eminent. Cheers do not doubt to day
that these would be among the first of oul
population to follow the old flag if it should
be assailed from any quarter.

address. After referring to the antiquity
. of the town he said: 1.-THE Scripture

Tennessee is realizing that beatitude
There is coming to our country a grea

q At Morristown the President was agai
u called to the platform and respoade
~ briefly. An old grizZled veteran forced b
n way through the crowd and grasped tt
u Presidents hand with the remark: ''I
IL one of those people who kept you back
Chickamaugua, and now The war is ovt
Pm proud to take your hand" The Pres

ed beg to say to you that whoever suppos
is there is anywhere in the northern stat
ed any jealousy of your great material pr
l. gress wholly misconceiyes the friend
heart of the people of the north. 1t is u
wish, as am sure tits of all with whom q
associated in political life, that the strear
rs of prosperity in the south may run bal
vn full. We live in government of law.
- may safely differ in politics.; we nj
y, safely divide upon questions as to what sh
cd be law: butt when the law is once enacted
r. community can safely divide on the que
ne ton of implicit obedience to that law.
r may not choose as President what laws
de will enforce, and a citizen may not choo
what law he will obey. Upon this bro
principle our institutions rest. Therefor
my appeal everywhere is to hold the law
l. veneration and reverence. We have
nd other king; the public officers are 70
10 servants; but in the august and males
presence of the law we all uncover a
US bend the knee. May every prosperity atte
he YOU" Great and prolonged cheering
CHI The presidential party then re entered t
MS carriages and started for the train, but b
ut not gone far when the horses drawing t

on others took fright and dashed into the Pr
US ident's carriage. There was great excit
iy ment for moment, as both the Preside
ds and Mrs. Harrison were seen to be in i
ry minent danger. They managed, howev,
of to get out uninjured. The frightened hor,
lwere finally controlled, but not until th
