Fellow-citizens, neighbors and friends, of many years:—lt always has given me pleasure to come here and look upon these faces. It has always given me new courage and new friends. It has brought back a large share of that richness that belongs to these things oat of which comes the loys of life. While I have been sitting here, this afternoon, watching your faces and listening to the very interesting addi esses which has just been delivered, it has occurred to me that the best thing you have, that all men envy, (1 mean all men who have reached the meridian of life), is perhaps the thing that you care for the least, and that is yonr leisure. The leisure you have to think, the leisure you have to be let alone, the leisure you have to throw the plummet with your hands, and sound the depths, and find what is below; the leisure you have to walk about the towers of yourselves and find how strong they are, or how weak they are, and determine what needs building up, and determine how to shape them that yon may be made the final being that yon are to be. Oh, these bours of building up. If the supreme being of the universe would look dowfn upoc the world to find the most interesting object, it would be the unfinished, unfounded characters ot young men and of young women. Those behind me have, probably, in the main, settled such questions. Those who have passed into middle-manhood and middle-woman-hood are about what they shall always be, and there is little left or interest or curiosity as to our development, but to your young and unlormed natures no man knows the possibilities that lay treasured np in yonr hearts and intellects, and while yon are working np these possibilities with that splendid leisure, you are the most to be envied of all classes of men and women in the world. This place Is too full of memories for me to trust myself to speak long, and I will not, but I have saw again to-day, as I have for a quarter of a century, evidences of strength and affection from the people who gather in this place, and I thank yon for the permission to see you, and meet yen, and greet you, as I have done to-day.” Mr. Garfield will remain at Hiram to the alumni reunion, to-morrow. In the afternoon he will go to his home in Mentor, to t-est.

This was significant, because upon these cadets Whittaker had cast suspicions. Qen. Sherman’s address was more ot a humorous character and created much merriment.
