They hnd been met at Coeymans by Post master Warner aud James Ten Kyck. Just prior to the arrival of th .train It rained, but cleared off for Just ".w.'nut the space of time that the president and party were in the city. The president entered a carriage and was driven up State street to n staud In front of city hall. The houses along the route were elaborately deco rated, and the streets were jammed with people. There was tremendous enthu siasm. With the president were Secretary Halford, Russell Harrison and Congress man Trncey. When the president reached the foot of the steps of the stand he was greeted by Governor Hill, who introduced Mayor Manning. The three chief execu tives walked to the front of the stand, and cheer upon cheer went up. Mayor Man ning then, after tho cheering subsidud, said: Mn. PnxsiDEST In the name of the oltyot Albany, one of the oldest municipal govern ments in this country, that witnessed tho be ginning of the Concord agitation among the American people, which has developed Into the mighty government of which you aro the dis tinguished magistrate, I welcome you. We are Indebted for this opportunity, even briefly, to show strain the respect for constituted author ity and the hnspltulity toward those who wield It which at Albany was shown to so many of your illustrious predecessors. We regret that your sojourn with us Is to be so brief, but we trust that at some time It may be the prlvlloge of Albany to proffer you Its hospitality In more ample measure. The governor of the state has expressed the wish to join with Al bany in its greeting to you today, and I have tlie honor to present him to you. Then Governor TI ill stepped forward, and when the cheering at his presence had subsided, spoke as follows: The limited time nt yimr disposal here rend ers it appropriate that I shall express the senti ments of the people of the state In the fewest words powiljle. The citizens of the Empire state receive you with profound respeut and greet you with the greatest pleasure on this oc casion, not only because you are tho chief mag istrate of the nation, but because of their ap preciation of your high character and eminent public services. They are delighted that you have seen fit to honor us with your presence to day. They recall with interest your many patriotic speeches during yonr recent trip in the south and west, and their doslre to see and listen to you has been Intensified. I do not In tond to longer postpone the gratification 1 foel, but will simply say that in behalf of the state of New York I tender you a sincere and cordial welcome. At the conclusion Governor Hill, still noticing that the vast erowd was kept back from the stand by the police, beck oned with both hands for them to ap proach, and at the same time ordered the police to allow them to do so. There were shouts of approval, and a cheer was given for the governor. President Harrison then advanced to the front, and bowing to the governor spoke as follows: Fellow Citizkns I am very glad to have been introduced to you upon this occasion of my visit to the capital of the Empire state by the Hon. David B. Hill, its governor, and hav ing but a few moments to speak, t am gratified that the distinguished governor who preceded me invited the assemblage to come nearer the stand. By the wise withdrawal of public guar dianship you are enabled to come closer and hear the few words which I have to speak.' I have received with satisfaction tbe cordial welcom ing words of the governor of this great state. It is very gratifying for me as a citlaeu and officeholder of the L nlted States, It Is a pleas are for me to ooine and say that all matters of difference which may have ever existed in the different parts of the country have been oblit erated and all the people united iu a oommon brotherhood. This Empire state has great wealth and resources that reach out all over the country. There has been in the past a time when the cry was raised against New York being an ex acting creditor. These narrow views will not prevail in an enterprising neighborhood or where the states are united in brotherhood. As the government is pledged to maintain the money at different powers for evsry 100 cents on a dollar, whether psjier or coin, coin stamped being as good as any other dollar, we should avoid the experience of a southern country. When a nation has an irredeemable currency then the men from your shops ho turnout the supplies and the farmers have the greatest lntorest in receiving 100 cents on a dollar. We have this year an extraordinary agricultural crop. This crop will be worth a billion of dol lars over that of last year. Then we find that the government of Russia has prohibited the exportation of rye. France and Germany will absorb every bushel of wheat now ou bund in those countries. Whatever complaints there may have been in the past, this year there will be a siuils over every agriculturist's faee of the country. The granaries of the country ore un able to hold the grain, aud this will bring back the lost gold of post yours. We should be a happy people, for all conditions are favorable and order should prevail; and above oil there should be patriotism and an adherence to con stitution and love. The ruin had begun to fall as the presi dent ceased talking. As he descended to his carriage the people, despite tbe efforts of the police, rushed toward him, grabbed his hands, waving their hats and hand kerchiefs. He was then driven to his car and departed at 6:40 p, m. A Big Crowd at Troy. Troy, N. Y., Aug. 10. The uresideutiol train was met by a large crowd. The train was obliged to wait ten minutes to make connections with tbe Bennington train. The president appeared on the platform aud made a brief speech. The Trip Through New Jersey. Jkiisky City, Aug. 18. President Har rison had a pleasant trip through New Jersey yesterday on his way to attend the celebration at Bennington, Vt. At each stop a crowd quickly collected and was re warded with a view of the president. To ward the last of the journey to Jersey City the president looked over the notes for his address, and then tired of that and amused himself at solitaire. At Jersey City Rus sell Harrison and John A. Slelcber joined the party. ' The president stood on the rear platform iu Jersey City aud surveyed tbe Immense proportions of the Pennsyl vania company's new train shed. There was no crowd aud no speeches.
