' ".The party, arrived from Montgomery at 11 o'clock aj m.f reviewed: 10,000 troops stationed around Savannah, took a trip down the "Savannah, 'river, and was entertained this evening at a grand banque-!tendered by--the' cham ber of commerce and association of citizens. The enthusiasm of theSa vanriah people and of the 15,000 per sons," who, it s estimated, had come Into' the 'city from the surrounding country to . greet tfce president, . was fully equal, to the remarkable demon strations which; have distingtilshed the trip in'other cities. , . -' -.. Previous to the president's speecfiai, cordial welcome had been extended to -him by D G. Purse, president of the reception committee and by. the may br of Savannah, P. W. Meldrim. , : .-' THE BANQUET. i . t Af; the banquet tomght in he Deso to hotel where the presidential party i's .staying, President McKinley, amid - frequent applause, addressed his audience-consisting of over 200 persons as follows: f , "There is cause for . congratulation that with the Jgrave problem before us i growingout of the war with --Spain, we are free from any divisions at home. "Our . financial and revenue policies 'cannot be changed for at least four years, andf whatever - legislation may - be had affiecting them during- that period willjbfe ;to improve and strength en, not destroy them. The public mind can, therefore," repose inTeasonable se curity,' while business will . proceed Without aipprerrension of serious and sudden cbahges;, sodisturbing to jthe commercijil world and so distrapiing to the. bulsiness .men. All of which is fortunate vfor the country, for every interest and every section of the coun try, Even 'those who desire other and. different policies pref ee permanence to constant change, .or what is almost as hurtful tkffYear f change. There are happily ri;&na donestic differ- ences" to check- the progress and. pros perity of the country which our peace ful relations yith7the wholeworld will encourage and Strengthen. "This Is fortunate, too, in another sense. It leaves the, country free to consider and 'discuss new questions " which , are immediately before us, un biased by party or past political alli,- ances. These i new questions are to be thought out and wrought out, not in a spirit Kf partisanship, but in a spirit of patriotism, not; for the temporary .advantage of one-party or the other, "but for the lasting advantage of the country-. Neither prejudice hor passion, nor previous condition, can embarrass the , free action and calm "judgnent of the'citizen. We have entered upon new t paths. We are treading in an unex- . plored field which will test our wisdom and statesmanship. The chief consid eration is one of- duty, our actions must be controlled by it. No settle ment is admissible which "will not pre serve our honor and promote the best interests of air concerned. With a unit ed country and the gathered vrisdom of all the people, seeking1 only the , Tight, inspired only" by high purposes, mqved only by duty arid humanity, we cannot err. We may be' "baffled sr de- terred and of ten discouraged, hut final ' success in a cause whic is altogether J- unselfish and "humanitarian can only v be deferred, not pfrevented. . "If, following the clear, precepts of t: duty, territory falls to -us, . and the welfare of an alien-people require our - guidance and protection,- . who will shrink from.' trie responsibife-V, grave though it may be? Can wfe leave these people who, by the fortunates of war and our own acts, are helpless and , -without government, to chaos and an- - .rchy after we have destroyed the 'only government they have had? - Having -destroyed their government, it is the luty of the American government to provide for titem 'c better one.

Shall they be ordered to further con flict? t.et us hope not, but their pres ence at least, in large part, will bexip dispenible until peace is ratified and the rejgtilars are increased in num bers to take their places. "I would say to those still in. .the field: jPatience While your sacrifices may tie, and with many no doubt are great, jyet the glory of your, lives will always be that you 'wore the blue while your country needed you.' .. . "Th lessons we have learned, arid largely from the navy, are: 'In time of peace prepare for war, an old say- mb, bnt forceful, and true. Hew little material the country had to equip its great army with when called into ser vice, you' know. How well, seemingly an impossible, task' was met, impartial history ' of the war will show.- While we' met' an army well armed with thei best qf modern weapons; and skilled' in the juse of them, the navy, fully pre pared for war in advance, well skilled in gjnhery,:met the Spaniards' and de stroyed their fleets while they were hopelessly trying .'to adjust their "range finders!"

The streets I were lined; with people who cheered ffncessaritly. - At 2 I o'clock the president boarded the steam pilot boat J. H. Estill and proceeded down the river for about ten rniles: ! Salutes were fired from wharves, every ship was gaily strung with bunting and their crews yelled lulHJJy as the J. H. Estill sped by. Whistles screached, flags dipped and until the outskirts of the city were reached, the river bank was 'dotted with groups, mostly colored, who sent cheer after ) cheer oyer the water for.

The president jumped upon the rail of the Estill and, hold ing on to a shroud, waved back his ac knowledgments to the troops. The regimental band on board. the Ches ter played "Yankee Doodle," followed up by "Dixie," and on both vessels there ensued such a scene of enthusi asm as had seldom been witnessed in this state. . Luncheon 1 was served on board the Estill and at 4:30 o'clock the presidential-party disembarked arid was driv en to the hotel, where a rest was taken until the banquet commenced. - The president is deeply touched by ftis reception here and is c, especially gratifie(J over the review of the troops.
