President Harrison in speaking stands
erect, bearing down on his heels. When
beginning his remarks he placed his right
hand, gloved in seal kid, back of his waist
and gradually slipt the other hard into it,
then clasped. His gestures consist of a
rigid shaking Of the head, and when speak
ing passionately the muscles of the side
face twitch as in CONFUSION, while he ex-
tends his right hand rd in Pr
attitude, the fingers in direct line with his
arm.
AS soon Us the President was through
there were loud calls for Wanamaker, and
when the postmaster general with his
clean Shaveu, pious face smiled and
showed his teeth, there was more genuine
applause than during any of the previous
addresses which was in the following vein.
bow most respectfully, ladies and gentle.
men, to the compliment you have paid me.

sixth 4th OF July this year for me. (Renewed
laughier) We have had poem of welcome
5,OOj miles long. We have awakened in the
morning to hear the band PLAYING 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banners" the children h ave come and
stood along the railroad track and in the
streets, and have scattered flowers that breathe
of love, welcoming the President and his fam
lily officially, and others iourneying with him.
How our hearts have gone out TO the people
No one an ever tell the story. Such a county
and such people! Did the sun ever shine
upon such a land anywhere else In the world as
our grand America? (Cheers.) Where else
could the people gather about their chief ex-
ecut1ve and come so close to him, with per-
sonal interest in him, as right here in our great
country? Where else could we find the chief
ruler carrying so many OF the people in his
heart as here in America? 1t is something for
you and to he a part of these Sixty-ffve mill
ions of people, with their wonderful future
with every avenue open to us and to our chill
dren, where we can fad happiness and fortune,
and everything that makes life worth living. I
am impressed today, as L look down into the
faces of the young men Of your city, that We
have come to The edge Of young manhood in
America; for the time is here for us to do and
dare greater things than this country has ever
seen. believe the government itself has risen
to higher mark than it ever did before. What
ever cur laws, there must stand with the clasp
upon them men OF sturdy integrity, of unSwerY-
ing fidelity OF conscientious purpose; and I
submit TO you that the closest acquaintance
with the business life OF the administration OF
your government to-day would make you sing
out here in the woods, in this glad sunshine, the
loudest doxology that the ever listened
| to. lApplause.] Can you think after such
signs Of loyalty aud affection from the people,
that we can go back to our places to do lessY
Nay; but every impulse of our heart reaches
out to-day for good service, for honest govern
! ment, for business administration-not for
PENNSYLVANIA alone-though we will supply you
with good governors laughter; and we will
send our young men to help make these beanti-
full homes for you. But the government shall
be for all the states alike, not for the large
cities, but for the cities that are growing to be
large and important-not for one section or one
class, but for all the people alike. Cheer 81.
May the hand Of the government touch every
industry. every home every interest of the
country, that we may become the land OF all
lands, the pride of the whole world.
| THANK you, dear friends, for this beautifulre-
ception. shall never forget the morning that
we bathed our faces in the sunshine Of your
basin and looked upon this scene so beautiful
the like of which we have not seen 10 all our
Journey. God bless you.
Secretary Rusk was demanded and re-
sponded with the shortest speech of the
day:
"UTAH CAN RAISE TIE BIGGEST POTATOES"
Miss Major, formerly of the Detroit Free
Press, stepped forward and addressed the
President in behalf of the G. A. r., recit-
ing the glorious services done by the G. A.
r. in the dark days Of peril and imploring
the President that she with others cher
ished the hope that in the near future the
browning effort of civilization would be-
perfected by extending the right of suffrage
! to tie women of Utah. !
The presidential party now began to get
ready to leave the platform, but before they
moved many PAGES they were beseiged by
persons seeking introductions. Some five
minutes was spent in hand shaking, when
the party again took their carriages and
were driven very rapidly towards the city,
the President desiring to secure time to
open the new chamber of commerce before
train time.
The President reached the chamber OF
I commerce at IL 80, and President Simon
: introduced him to the few hundred persons
who had assembled TO witness the dedics-
: ton ceremonies.
f.; President Harrison spoke as follows:
am glad TO stand in this magnificent build
: ing, monument TO the commercial interests Of
l the city. Here Is where the members of the
: board will assemble to discuss matters best for
/ the business interest of Salt Lake. 1 do hope
: that you Will promote the general interests %
o the city, and that the membership of this Or
! ganization may be increased. Aside from the
e pressure OF business cares, you may meet here
and talk Of things that are not solsly personal
/, Similar organizations exist in various cities.
e and they assist in the development and pros
i perity, il properly conducted, of any place. I
g hope this body will grow in usefulness. and that
o it may do for the city what the waters Of these
e mountains have done for your valley. wateS
!; it and expel the mean jealousies among men.
> President Harrison no sooner closed hi 4
d remarks than there was grand rush foE
i. the carriages and the party was driven to
the Rio Grande Western depot. Russell
Harrison seemed especially anxious to get
: them off on time, but after boarding the
cars and bidding good bye to the ladies and
gentlemen who accompanied them to the
depot it was discovered that Postmaster-
| General Wananaker was missing.
Marshal Ramsdel gave vent to mis- ill.,
temper by saying:
| whats the use Of monzeying here for
that man; let's go without him."
q The ''monkeyingn that General Wans
maker had been doing was visit to tha
! tabernacle and for this serious affront ID
came near losing his place on the presiden-
tial train.
