prising Go ltgeldt and the members
of his staff ;or Harrison and his cab
met, Direc '9neral Davis, Collector
of the POI jn M. Clark. The presi-
dent, who personally acquainted
with maj " of his visitors, received
tbom cord First Gov. Altgeldt,
tor the statv, and then Carter Harrison,
for the city, told him how much they
appreciated his presence, and how the
entire commonwealth was at his COM
mand, while Mr.. Cleveland in response
remarked that he had a lively remem-
brance of Chicago's hospitality, and ex-
tending back some years. The scenes
enacted at the union depot upon the
arrival of the president party were. in
the main, repetition of those that
greeted the Duke of Veragua and his
suite, only that

was larger. and infinitely more exuber-
ant. 1t packed the public portion of the
big Shed from one end to the other,
masSed itself solidly on the steps, while
outside there was sea Of heads for
couple of blocks in either direction.
President Palmer and Vice President
Peck were in waiting at the depot to ex-
press word of greeting in behalf of
the exposition, and this done the serv-
ices of the escOrtiug police were called
again into requisition, and a path

The crowd had commenced to
let itself loose when the first rumble of
the train was heard, and they kept up
the cheering almost necessarily until
the president had entered his carriage.
When one knot of enthusiasts com
menced to get hoarse another crowd re-
lieved them, and i'll this way the roar of
welcome was pretty well continuous.
Mr.. Cleveland looked none the worse

head above the right ear and
which so well matched the tinge of
his flesh that it was scarcely discernable
except on close inspection. He pleas

notable also that Secretary Gresham
came IN for a general recognition. so
much so, in fact, that Secretary Car
Isle was prompted to laughingly sug-
gest that he evidently was not one of
the individuals who have no honor in
their own country.
The Presidential Procession
was nearly three times as long as that
which had escorted the duke, and it
stretched out over several squares.
This was the order in which it mo1gd:

E. of the United States artii-
lery, brought up the rear Of the military
contingent and cleared the way for a
string of forty carriages. Four of these
were occupied by national commission
ers and members of the local directory.
President Cleveland was seated in the
fifth carriage, handsome vehicle
drawn by two white horses. Gov.
Altgeldt SAT on MS right and Mayor

Carriages were provided for Maj. Gen.
Miles and his staff, as we'll as for the
mayors cabinet and the members of the
city council. The procession followed
the same route as that of the ducal
party, except that it continued on
Michigan avenue

and came to full stop at the Lexing-
ton hotel. AS the presidents carriage
passed the harbor presidential salute
was fired from the Andrew johnson.
