St. Louis, Oct. 3. "Cleveland weather" prevailed this morning and the Presidential party partook of an early breakfast m order to prepare for the - day's festivities. Shortly after 9 o'clock Maj. C. C. Rainwater, chairman of the reception committee, escorted the members of the party from the Lindeli Hotel to the resi dence of Mayor Francis, where tbey were met by the Mayor and cordially received. Shortly after 10 o'clock the entire party, in charge of Major Rainwater s committee, were driven to the fair grounds in the north western portion ot the city. Much en thusiasm was manifested ty the up rising of the President and Mrs. Cleveland,acknowledging the demon strations by bowing to the crowds on either side of the street. The par ty reached the fair grounds at 10:45 a., m., and were driven around the racecourse there, stopping in front of the grand stand long enough to hear Three TbeomMl ChlMra Ma "AMerica." , At the conclusion of the singing some very handsome flowers were presented . to Mrs Cleveland by the Kindergarten chil dren these were graciously acknowl edged by the lady. The exercises at the fair grounds consumed but about twenty minutes. The amphitheatre surrounding the course contained upwards or 40,000 people, it, e scene was one long to be remembered.

At a quarter before twelve o'clock the party started for the mer chant's exchange, arriving there at 1 :20 p. m. The President was mtro duced by mayor Francis for a brief peech oi welcome to whicn tne President Replied, m rllwsc Mr! Mayor ' and Fellow Cdizens: 1 1 am expected to make an extend ed speech on this occasion I am afraid shall disappoint you, and this 1 should be sorry to do after having succeeded at last, through much trib ulation, in standing face to face with my St. Louis mends. The inbula tion of which speak has arisen from the extreme kindness of a vast number of the American people and he cordial invitation they have ten- dered to stop and see them on my way to you. Your city was the ob jective point ot my travel m this direction, but it has sometimes seemed to me that every town be tween Washington and here has been represented as being directly on my route, and it has been hard to con vince their kind and enthusiastic Citizens that it would not be entirely easy, within the time at my disposal, to pay them a visit. My own incli nation leading me in the direction ol their desires, it has been a diffcult matter to resist their persuasions but have made up my mind that the people of Sj. Louis are to- blame for the entire perplexity and disappoint ment which this matter caused, for it was through them that I was in duced to leave home at all. I expect that anything I might say- concerning- your State or city inthe,wty of laudation or congratulation would hardly equal your own esti mate of these subjects. I believe there ; was a time when St. Louis was a determined and jealous rival of Chicago. I don't know whether this condition continues or not. but I hope it does. While you can hardly expect lookers-on to take sides m such a contest, we are inter ested to the extent that such a Strug gle adds to the growth and improve met t or the country at large, isoth of these cities exemplify in a wonder ful decree how completely and how speedily American energy and busi ness ingenuity maizes every available element ot muoici Dal growth and "how any useful type of the worlds populaion is assimilated to the grand purpose oi American expansion. I am here, re minded of ht, I . suppose. to be the fact more than - one half of your voters are of foreign birth and parentage. The growth and increase or your city in every way indicate. 1 think. : , that th condition of your population thus made apparent is by no means to he depreciated and my observations durine a lone residence in a citv sim ilarlv has led me to know the value to any community of the industriou , frugal and tnritty men ana worn, n who come from foreign land to nnd new homes with is who invest them Selves ' with our citizenship' and who . are satisfied and content with the freedom of our government and our laws and institutions The line is easily drawn vbet ween them and the honassimuating emigrants who seek our shores solely fori the purposes involving disturbance' and disadvantage to our body police. hope.I may without impropriety sav this much in recognition of what has been done for St. Louis by its natur auzeu citizens as well as in remem brance of . many kind and valued friends and associates of former days. I deem ; myself , especially fortunate in being with you at a - time when the. manufactures and products o: 5 our , city and the surroundin country are on exhibition. At your fair. One of the largest in the country. those Who seek the best- and surest evidence of your substantial ; pros perity may well be satisfied. Here I shall see the things which; are con elusive proofs of t thrift and wealth and comfortable houses. I hope to see betides while here certain fea tures of your city's life which just at this time are unusually displayed and which-establish the fact that the people of St Louis With all their business engagements and with al their : tact, and surnng trade . are not averse - to - pleasure - and enjoyment. I . hope .' thai you will find your visitors to he interested sight seers - and of one thing you may be assured, however muchyou many impress us with the greatness of your city, we are certain to - have our hearts . filled with - a grateful appreciation of the kindness and - hospitality -"M of your people. .

The Monitor gives the Particulars of sev eral cases. ; One off the victims was a Mexican young lady, a Protestant, who went to teach'in a small village in the State ot .Tobaeco. She was poisoned shortly after opening her school, and though! her life was saved her reason is thought to have been destroyed.! Another , case -wai the murder of three Protestants in the State of Guerrero by a mob, and a third case was the! recent murder of the editor of a Liberal newspaper in the State of Vera Cruz, who had at tacked the Church roughly nd had been denounced frjom the pulpit by his clerical antagonists. M - n All the victims were Mexican citi zens, and the Monitor calls for jus tice and protection for people of all creeds a ainst thej fanatics of the in terior. There is much agitation over these disclosures, which are likely to cause punishmentl to swiftly visit the offenders."

Allow us to correct a wrong im pression made by a statement m your paper as to "the Mecklenburg sellers in Concord.'!. Yon say it is reported that : on arriving in Concord the "sellers" were sold as well as the cot ton. It is altogether what is called be ing sold in a matter of this kind as a "matter of facr," Concord market was higher than Coarlotte market Rea good cotton brought 8 65 in Con cord ; the same brought in Charlotte 8 1-2. Set that down. Nevertheless, if thn Concord market continues as far j ahead of Charlotte as it was yesterday you will find us back there soon again with our crowd somewhat increased. ' Now, as to this great question sprung in the Daily Hornet. and as to the depths to which it has been searched as to being forced to sell our cotton and take in trade. If any one is bothered about this ques tion we will furnish him with all needed information Not a word was said about taking our cotton in trade. f our statement will not answer we will show figures. If .that will not an swer all we ask them to do is to go to the First National Bank and ask the cashier what kind of trade we took for our cotton. , Let no one be uneasy about Concord being unable to cash for cotton. We most gladly tak our chances on that score. I Dallas Berrthiix, j V. H. Caldwell, i F.S. Nkal. Caaa-at a Waaaaa. amtar BapabUeaa. An old wido wer in this city has a fine natch of turnips, which verv few can boast of hereabouts on account of the drouth,- and he also has a neighbor, who is we believe, a widow. sne owns a nne lot ot cmcxens. and they fly over the fence and depredate on the. widower's turnip greens. He expostulated with the lady and begged her to chop her chickens' wings. This she positively refused to do, and the widower set a trap in his turnips, caught several chickens. clipped their wings and threw them over the fence. The woman, didnt like this operation and jBhe de termined to break up the trap. One morumg last week; she got up while it was dark, scaled the fence and sought for the trap.' She found . it and the neighbor soon- found her. She was caught in a steel trap, and the way she sent up a most unmusical yall,' would have caused a Comanche chief to hide his bead in shame. . It aroused that section, and the widower ran out to see what was the matter. He quickly relieved her. and the steel trap is gone, but the chickens don't eat his turnip greens -M any- more. They don't speak, either,) and she wont look over that way. i , Taa Tafcaeea Hark StaaiaUas, Danville, Va., 8ept 3.
