No Political Significance.
Tho same quick appreciation was mani
tested elsewhere, and. In fact, during the

d dent spoke Of his present mission to tho
South, which, he said was entirely with
out political significance. He had come,
lie continued. for the welfare of the co,ln-
try and not for selfish ends. Time and
again, and always With added force, he
reiterated the declaration that he would
never aspire to the Presidency more He
was most emphatic. Many around him ex-
pressed the hope that he would permit
/, unanimous country to seat him In the
White House again. TO all he made the
same reply--that with the close OF his
present term, he would retire.
And so II was that he came to the
South. seeking not votes. but goodwill
and harmony IN all sections Of tho land
over which lie presides. And SO. like
wise, was 1t that the demonstration Of
LOYALTY and affection that Richmond gave
to him called forth his heartfelt thanks.

fore O'Clock. Four hundred guests were
in the banquet hall. The tables cleaned
with massive silver and sparkling glass
Fcstoons OF bunting completely shut out
the daylight from the windows, and hun
dreds of electric globes starred the hall.
Stately palms spread out at endless
length and blooming plants and rare and
costly cut flowers sent a grateful per-
fuIne through the entire place, Sweet
music filled the room. It was perhaps
the most brilliant social function the city
has ever known.
Here again the President spoke, but
more briefly. Responding to the toast
OF the Mayor, he returned his heartfelt
thanks for Richmond's welcome, and with
great feeling told of what 1t meant to
him and would mean for all time to come.
