took the train as far as Yonkers, and there
took the daytime boat Albany for Pough-
keepsie. At Yonkers few people knew OF
their coming, and there was no demonstra-
ton of any lively character. The passen-
gers on the boat cheered the party as they
came across the gang plank. Mr.. Sewall
left the party at West Point, and went to
| New York. from where he will go to Maine

the disposal of the party, and for hall an
hour the three four hundred passengers
on the boat kept the presidential candidate

and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Hud-
son and the highlands.
