PRESIDENT SPEAKS. Review* Labor Parade and Talk* to Immense Audience at Syraenae, N. Y. Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 8. —President Roosevelt on Monday was accorded a magnificent reception by the citizens of his own state. From the moment of his arrival in this city at 9:30 a. m. until *he stepped aboard his special *£*&'’* 10:30vmfcin set to Oyster Bay he was given a continual ovation. Syracuse never before held such a throng as assembled here to greet the president. Fully 100,000 persons from all sections of New York state tested (.he carrying capacity of the various lines of railroad, and many additional thousands came from the country contiguous to the city. Everywhere in the -city, and at the grounds of the New York State Fair association, the. president was received with notable enthusiasm. As he drove through the streets the tens of thousand of persons banked along the sidewalks greeted him with cheers. Business houses and residences were ablaze with bunting and the American flag floated in the breeze from almost every window. For the president it “was a busy day as well as a day full of interesting incidents. In the morning soon after his arrival he reviewed from a beautifully decorated stand in Hanover square a great parade of the labor organizations of the city. He then went to the state fair grounds, where he delivered before 50,000 persons an address on good citizenship and the relations of labor and capital to the state. He was the principal guest at a luncheon at the club house on the grounds—a luncheon which was attended by every important state official except Gov. Odell, who could not be present on account of a previous engagement; reviewed a fine parade of the National Letter Carriers’ association, and fraternal bodies of the city, and was the guest at night of Former United States Senator Frank Hiscock at a dinner which was attended by about 30 persons, invited to meet the president. In his address at the fair grounds President Roosevelt gave as the prime requisite for a prosperous and permanent national life, a community of interest, with caste forgotten and personal worth the sole basis of class distinction, with capitalist and wageworker helping themselves by aiding each other and both content to abide by the laws. Asa Labor day creed, its acceptance was urged by a warning against a tendency toward despotism, the envy of demagogues and their bent toward mob violence being classed as a danger to the laborer far more malign than the arrogance of the affluent. “We must act upon the motto of all for each and each for all,” was the keynote of the address, which denounced in thundering phrases the leaders who incite class antagonism, whether the labor agitator who shouts for plunder or the unscrupulous man of wealth who seeks ,to subvert the laws in order to oppress. The prosperity of the farmer and the wage-worker is the index of the nation’s welfare, argued the president, and the interests of every business, trade and profession are so identical that they “tend to go up or down together.” To maintain a healthy government individuals instead of classes must be considered, and the permanency of the nation depends upon the development of a spirit that will conserve the rights of others as well as defend one’s own. To unite the contending cclasses, the president urged that the wage-worker should display sanity and a desire to do justice to others and that the capitalist should welcome and aid all legislative efforts to settle present difficulties. Breadwinners and homemakers, fathers and mothers of families, were given their tribute, the president declaringthat there is a place for each among the honored benefactors of the nation.

As the Reliance was then being towed through the fleet the yacht ensigns fluttered from her truck and spreaders in celebration of her

THE AMERICA’S CUP. victory. The Shamrock Ill.did not cross the finish line. As often said of the historic race when the America won the cup, there was no second. This successful result was achieved only after four futile attempts to sail off the final race and after the outcome had been admitted by even Sir Thomas Lipton to be a foregone conclusion. To-day’s was the eighth attempt to sail a race. After one fluke the Reliance won the two following races, one by seven minutes and seconds and the other by one minute and 19 seconds. A week ago Thursday the first attempt to sail the third race failed, apd attempts have been made every day this week. On these occasions Reliance led the Shamrock to the finish line, by two miles, but failed to reach it before the expiration of the time limit of five and a half hours. Thursday’s victory means that the cup is destined to remain in America until England is able to produce a genius equal to Herreshoff in yacht designing. , FIRST MEETING HELD.
