Canlederete officer. Next) to Mr. Davis, the most oormpiuucua figure of a. very notable eventâ€"indeed over and above all Elkeâ€"~Geneml ngatreet’t ap- pearance here illustrates the spiriu 01 this ovation to the Cantederete ex President. He has been a Republwnn ever since the war, constantly filling more or less dishin- guiehed poehione under the dxfierena national administrations. Ever since the surrender eh Appomattox he has been against the methods of his old-time 00n- tederate eeeoolatee. For this he has been ostracized by the people for whom he fought so well and sacrificed so much. Therefore hie appeareroa today an the ceremony was the moat: signifioenb feature. not only of its proceedings, but; of the pest antifumre Welcome to Mr. Davis.

The old soldiers wanted to gel: to- getzher again, and this was perhaps the best occasion fora meeting. It) means no dis- respecl no any other section 0! lbs country, nor is thereean evidence 0! disloyalty in the display. We all recognize shes the war is over, and that all the questions than sub- mitted for decision to the sword are for ever sebtled. Mr. Davis, growmg old, the people were anxious to see him once again and this was the best: time to do it. Probably it is his last appearance among us. That is all this demonsuravion means. and the righu to his celebraiion by both the young and the old will everywhere he acknowledged. It means nothing more than a reunion of old com- rades and bhe revival of never-lading memories." There is much more than is interesting and pathebic in General Leng- street's appearance and utterance upon this occasion. It is the one new and eigmficanb phase of all this Welcome to Mr. Davis. Much as General Longetreet has suffered in a hundred ways on the hands 0! she people for whom he fought) so ardenily he forgot it all today in the common respect for the civil head of the greau revolution. in which he was a commander second only to Lee.
