The I'rcxldciitlnl Jaunt. UOANOKE , Va. , April 1C. Thoprcs- .idential party in their journeyings 'through the south everywhere met with cordial and enthusiastic recep tion. At Johnson City the president made a brief address , saying : < J rejoice to stand hero in east Ten nessee among the people who so con spicuously and at such a sacrifice dur ing the hour of the nation's peril stood by the flag and adhered by their con- .victions of public duties [ cheers ] , and 'I am specially glad to say that those who followed other views of duty and took sides against us in that struggle tyithout division in voice or heart to day praise Almighty God that ho pre served us as one nation. [ Cheers ] There is no man , whatever his views upon questions that then divided us , in view of the marvelous benefits are disseminating themselves over these states , must also bless God | today that slavery no longer exists and that the union of the free states is indissoluble. [ Cheers. ] What is it , that has stirred the pulses of this great 'nation ' , that has kindled these fires , 'that converted these retired and iso lated farms into centers of trade and mechanical pursuits , bringing the mar ket close to the doors of the farmer and prosperity into every homo ? It is that we have no line of division be tween the states. It is that these im pulses of freedom and enterprise , once limited in their operations , are now common to all states. We have a coin- 'inon heritage. The confederate soldier has a full honorable participation in till lhe benefits of a great and just gov ernment. [ Cheers. ] I do not doubt today that these would be among the readiest of our population to follow the old liag if it should bo assailed from anj' quarter. " [ Cheers. ] At Jonesboro the president made a short address. After referring to the antiquity of the tour ho said : "The scripture speaks. I think my postmas ter general is near and if I fall into error he will correct me [ laughter ] 'of a time when old things shall pass away and all things become new. Ten nessee is realizing that beatitude. There is coming to our country a great growth and extraordinary development and you are to be full participants in it all. We have here prodigious re sources that are yet to be touched by the finger of development , and we have power , if we will , to put our flag again upon the sea and to share the world's commerce. " [ Cheers. ] Greenville , Tenn. , the home of An drew Johnson , was specially cordial in its welcome to the presidential party , a feature being a display of flags. The president , addressing the people , said : "I rejoice to see in the hands of the children here that banner of glory which is the symbol of our greatness and a promise of our security. I am glad that by the common consent of all our people , without any regard to par ty differences , we have once and for ever struck hands upon the proposition that there shall be one flag and one constitution. " [ Great cheering. ] At Morristown the president was again called to the platform and re sponded briefly. An old grizzled vet eran forced his way through the crowd and grasped the president's with the remark : "I'm one of those people who kept you back at Chickamaugua , and now that the war is over I'm proud to take your hand. " The president showed his pleasure at these words and held the old soldier's hand for several minutes , the spectators meanwhile cheering themselves hoarse. The residents of the city of Knoxville - ville turned out en masse this evening to do honor to the president. A mili tary salute was fired and a carriage drawn by four horses placed at the disposal of the party and they were shown points of interest. A public reception was held , and Colonel Hen derson delivered an address of wel come , to which the president responded. He said in part : "I am glad to know that deep devotion to that cause which manifested itself in the early contribu tions of Tennessee to the armies that went to the defense of the homes of the northwest abides still in these val leys and crowns with its glory and lustre every hilltop of the Alleghenies. I beg to say to you that whoever sup poses there is anywhere in the north ern states any jealousy of your great material progress wholly misconceives the friendly heart of the people of the north. It is my wish , as it is the wish of all with whom I associate in polit ical life , that the streams of prosper ity in the south may run bank full. All live in a government of law. All may safely differ in politics ; we may safely divide upon a question as to what shall be law , but when a law is once enacted no community can safely divide on the question of implicit obedience to the law. I may not choose as president what l&s I will enforce and a citizen may nm choose which laws he will obey. Upon this broad principle our institutions rest , therefore my appeal everywhere is to hold the law in veneration and rever ence ; we have no other king. Public officers are your servants , but in the august and majestic presence of the law we all uncover and" bend the knee. May every prosperity attend you. " [ Great and prolonged cheering. ] The President In the South. Ala. , April 17. The on his arrival at this city was given a very warm reception : Half a dozen miles from Birmington , factory and locomotive whistles began to sound their shrill notes , and hundreds of other whistles taking up the strain , the noise became almost deafening to those on the train. Along the track signal torpedoes had been placed , and from the time the outskirts of the city were reached until the train came to a stand still at the station , there was a succes sion of sharp-reports added to the pan demonium that already reigned. Boom ing of cannon and shouting from thou sands of throats greeted the appearance of the president and party on the plat form of the train. A temporary stand hud been erected in the station , and to this the president was escorted by Gov. Jones and Mayor Lane. The enthusi astic shouts of the concourse ceased when Governor Jones , on behalf of the state * eloquently and feelingly wel comed the president to Alabama. Mayor Lane spoke in behalf of the city. As each gentlemen finished his remarks the president grasped his hand , and each time the little incident occurred the people shouted out approval. The president then made an address , which was vigorously applauded. He said : Governor Jones , Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citizens : The noise of your industries will not stay themselves , I fear , sufficient to enable me to make myself heard by many in this immense throng that has gathered to welcome us. 1 judge from what we have seen as wo neared your station that we have here at Birmingham the largest and most enthusiastic concourse of people that has met us since we left the national capital. [ Great and prolonged cheering. ] For this I am deeply grateful. The rapidity with which wo must pursue this journey will not allow us to look with any detail into the great enterprises which cluster about your city ; but if wo shall only have an opportunity to stop for a moment to look at these friendly faces and to listen to these friendly words wo shall carry away that which will bo invaluable , and I trust by friendly exchange of greetings we may leave something to you that is worth cher ishing. [ Cheers. ] I have read of the marvelous developments which in the last few years have been stirring the solitude of these southern mountains , and I remember today that not many after * the when I had years war , re sumed my law practice at Indianap olis , I was visited by a gentleman known , I expect , to all of you , upon professional business. He came to mete to pursue a collection claim against a citizen of Indianapolis , but he seemed to be bent more on talking about Bir mingham than anything else. [ Laugh ter and cheering. ] That man was Colonel Powell , one of the early promoters meters of your city. [ Cheers. ] I listened to his story of the mar velous wealth of iron and coal that was stored in this region , of their near ness to each other and to the limestone necessary for smelting , to his calcula tions as to the cheapness with which iron could be produced here and his glowing story of the great city that was to be reared with a good deal of credulity. I thought he was a vision ary , but I have regretted ever since that I did not ask Mm to pay my fee in town lots in Birmingham. [ Laugh ter and cheers. ] My countrymen , we thought it was calamitous , and so it was. The destruction of life and of property was great and beyond ex pression , and yet we. can see now that God led us through that red sea to de velopment in material prosperity and to a fraternity that was not otherwise possible. [ Cheers. ] The industries that have called to your midst-'many leading men > are always and every where concomitants of freedom. Out of all this freedom from the incubus of slavery the south has found a new in dustrial birth. Once almost wholly' agricultural , you are now not less fruitful in crops ; but you have added all this. [ Cheers. ] You have in creased your production of cotton and you have an added increase in ten years of nearly 300 per cent to the production of iron. You have pro duced three-fourths of the cotton crop of the world and it has brought you since the war about § 8,000,000 of money to enrich your people ; but as yet you are spinning in the south only 8 per cent of it. Why not , with the help we will give you in New Eng land and the north , spin it all ? [ Cheers. ] Why not ; while supplying G5.000 , QUO of people , reach out and take a part we have not had in the commerce of the world ? [ Cheers. ] I believe we are now to see a renaissance in American prosperity and an upbuild ing of our American merchant marine. I believe that these southern ports that so favorably look out with invitations to the states of Central and South America , shall yet see our fleets carry ing the American flag and products of Alabama to the markets of South Amer ica. [ Great cheering. ] In all this we are united. We may differ as to methods , but if you will permit I will give you an illustration to show how we have been dealing with this ship ping question. I can remember when no wholesale merchant ever sent a drummer into the field. lie said to his customers. "Come to my store and buy , " but competition increased. En terprising merchants started out men to secure customers , and his fellow merchant was put to the choice of put ting" men into the field or going out of business. It seems to me that what ever we may think of the policy of aid- j ing1 steamships , since eVery other great nation does it , we must do it or stay out of the Business , for we have pretty much gone out. [ Cheers. ] I am glad to reciprocate from the very fullness of my heart every frater nal expression that has fallen from the lips of these gentlemen who have ad dressed me in your behalf. I have not been saved from mistakes , probably I shall not be. I am sure of but one thing , I can declare I have singly at heart the glory of the American na tion and the good of all its people. [ Great and prolonged cheering. ] I thank these companies of state militia , some of whom I recognize as having done mo the honor to attend the in augural ceremonies , for their precence. They aredeserving. To the governor , to your encourage ment , and to the state of Alabama , they are the reserved army of the United States , It is our policy not to have a large regular army , but to have trained military that in any emergency will step to the defense of the country , and if that exigency shall ever arise , which God forbid , I know that you will respond as quickly and readily as any other state. [ Cheers. ] The Governor You would find all Alabama at your back , sir. [ Contin ued cheering. ] 1 am glad to know in addition to all this business you are doing you are attending to education and to those things that conduce to social order. The American homo is one thing we cannot afford to lose out of American life. As long as we have pure homes and God-fearing , order-loving fathers and mothers rear the children that are given to them and make these homes the abodes of cleanliness , piety and intelligence , American society and union are safe. [ Great and continued applause. ] Ilornpstcad Is ? Injror of Chicago. CHICAGO , April 18. The official canvass of the returns of the recent municipal election was completed yes terday. It practically settles the mat ter , although , as several precincts are subject to revision , it is possible there may bo some changes. Hempstead Washburne ( rep. ) is elected mayor by a plurality of 389. The unexpected surprise of the day was the heavy gain made by Kern , democratic candidate for city attorney , in the last few wards canvassed. His gain was so great that it elected him by a plurality of 1,172 over llichard- son ( rep. ) , whose election heretofore had not been questioned. Kiolbasso , democratic candidate for city treasurer , was successful by a plurality of 4,258 , his triumph being due to a strong combination of Irish and Polish and dissensions among the Germans. Van Cleve ( rep. ) , for city clerk , led his ticket with a plurality of over 5,000. Mayor Cregicr , in an interview with a representative of a local democratic paper this evening , when asked what he is going to be , said : "I am going to be , first and above all. a demo crat. For the. next two years I am going to saw wood to help save the state for the democracy in 1892. A great and the only difficulty is the deadly work of traitors to the party. " To Hoom Alger. KEAV YoitK , April 20. A Washing ton , D. C. , special says : There is a strong movement to elect ex-Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson as presi dent of the national league of republi can clubs , which meets at Cincinnati next Tuesday. General Clarkson has now no active occupation and is ready to devote his services to organizing for the battle of 1892. His election would mean a big move in the campaign of General Alger for the republican nom ination for the presidency. Clarkson is well known as an Alger man , and this has stood in the way of the re organization of the republican national committee by the retirement of Sena tor Quay and the election of Clarkson in his place. His election as president of the league will give him control of powerful machinery to accomplish his purposes. The President's Official Household. WASHINGTON , April 15. Almost the entire official household of the presi dent is away. Postmaster General Wanamaker and Secretary Husk are vdth the president on his southern trip. Secretary Foster went to New York last evening to personally investigate . * li3 New York custom house troubles relat ing to the dismissal of Auditor Perry and the efforts being made by his friends , including Vice President Mor ton , to secure his reinstatenunt. Secre taries Blaine and Tracy are too indis posed to be at their desks. Secretary Proctor is in town , but leaves tomor row for Montpeiier , where he will dis cuss the senatorial succession in Ver mont with Governor Page. Attorney General Miller and Secretary Noble are the only cabinet officers on active duty. Blooded Stoclt Sale. CHICAGO , April 20. The sale ol Turlington Aberdeen Angus cattle , the property of T. W.

A repre sentative of the Kansas City Transpor tation bureau called upon Acting Secre tary of War Grant and presented a protest against the allotment of money made by the Missouri river commission for the improvement of the Missouri river. The protestants say the com mission authorized the expenditure of $100,000 on a bend in the upper river , but no allotments for improvements at Kansas City. Unless measures are taken promptly the work of the last two years on the lower river will be lost. Grant informed them that the department was powerless to interfere in the work of the commission. Troubles of World's I'nlr Ladle * . CHICAGO , April 1C. The executive committee of the board of managers and Miss Phoebe Cozzens , secretary of the board , had another clash yesterday. It- seems that a committee was ap pointed to revise the minutes of the Kovember meeting , which are being printed , but Miss Cozzens ignored the committee and got out the minutes her self. After a long discussion the ladies passed a resolution declaring Miss Coz zens1 action a , serious violation of re spect to the lady managers. Another resolution rescinds any authority here-j tofore granted Secretary Cozzens in volving the expenditure of money. William T. Baker , president of the Chicago board of trade , was elected president of the board of directors of the world's fair , vice Lyman J. Gage , resigned. Baker's election was unani mous. He has been a member of the directory from the beginning and lias an enviable record for energy and exe cutive ability. The other officers of the board were re-elected without ex- cention.

Par ties arriving from Pine Ridge report some excitement and anxiety there over the fact that a party of Cheyenne agency Indians are now at the Wounded Knee battle field and yesterday stopped a missionary and school teacher bound for the outlying camps. Being half- breeds they were allowed to proceed. Boss Farmer Smoot , who met the mis sionary , brought in the news. Stock men from the reservation now in the city say there is little probability of trouble except with a few unruly bucks , and they are mating arrangements to join in the general spring round-up which begins on the ranges east of Cheyenne May 15. Plenty IIor.e "Not Guilty. " Sioux FALLS. S. D. , April 16. After repeated attempts to obtain an ar raignment. Plenty Horses , the Sioux Indian , accused of having murdered Lieutenant Casey , folded his large bl ue blanket around his form and in clear and distinct English declared to Judge Edgerton of the United States district court , "lam not guilty.
