ready for visitors. But if you will excuse
walks without pavements, doors without
handles and halls without lights. You may

pose, is an occasion for personal greetings.

distinctly not political, and that it includes
my White Plains friends ana neigh

| Without distinction of party, and 1t is my
| wost cherished reward, on returning. to be
nile TO feel that my fellOw-citizens, with
out distinction OF party, were fairly salts
| fled with my work and not dlspleased to
see me back among them again. Having
| said this. let me add that | DO not wish to
sail under false colors and. therefore now.
| will not say to you that have been from
a red-hot Republican. But this shall
not be turned into partisan
| occasion. 1t only remains for me TO repeat
my warmest thanks for the great cOmpli-
to make me this visit and TO say that 1t
will afford both Mrs. Reid and myself
pleasure to see yon all IN the house and
take you by the hand" ..
After these words of thanks for the CON-
| plment which his friends had paid him,
the serenading party was invited TO enter
the house, where an informal reception was
held, with general Handwriting aud ex-
changes of friendly words. Light refresh
nlents were served, and the party remained
