As President. 1 tried to be President of the whole people; as a citizen, while I have iny own convictions and hold them strongly, I hold them in perfect respect for the man who differs from me. The accumulated energy and push of this people is such that wo cannot always bo kept in the trough of the sea. Wo shall be on the crest of the wave again. How so ui and by what method, tho groat patriotic people of this country will determine. It Is not well worth while to hold office; no man can make it worth while, no honor can make it worth while, unless a man can leave office with the confidence and respect of his fellow-citizens. May prosperity como to you and abide with you and may every American citizen bo guided so that his influence may bo on the side of those measures that will advance the general prosperity and hold up at home and abroad the honor of the American flag. At tho close Gen. Harrison was greeted with prolonged applause, and hundreds crowded to the platform to shako his hand.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
The Senate, ‘Tuesday, after an hour’s discussion, decidied to continue the debate on the tariff bill until next Tuesday, when the bill will be taken up by para-» graphs. An executive session of fifteen minutes was held after which Senator Mitchell askpd that a resolution of his in reference to the Chinese treaty be lai j over until May 3. Senator McLauriq then addressed the Senate on the tar ill bill and was followed by Senator Smith, who spoke in opposition to the incomj tax. At the conclusion of Mr. Smith’j speech the Senate adjourned. The galleries of the House were packed, Tuesday, in anticipation of the fight over the new quorum-counting rule. Mr. Catchings withdrew the rule reported from committe last Thursday and substituted a new report as follows: Amend rule 15 by inserting between clauses 1 and 2 the following as clause 2 and change the number of clause 2 to clause 3: Upon every roll-call and before the beginning thereof the Speaker shall name two members, one from each side of the pending question, if practicable, who shall take their places at the clerk’s-desk, tertell the names of enough members who are in the hall of the House during the roll-call who do not respond, when added to those responding, to make a quorum. If a quorum does not respond on the rollcall then the names of those noted as present shall be reported to the Speaker, who shall cause the list to be called from the clerk’s desk and recorded in the journal, and in determining the presenceof a quorum to do business those who answered present and those so reported shall be considered. Members noted may. when their names are called, record their votesnotwithstanding the provisions of clause 1 of this rule. Amend clause 1 of rule 8 by adding this to the following words, and on a roll call should he not vote he shall answer “present” so as to read every member shall be present within the hall of the House during Its sittings unless excused or necessarily prevented, and shall vote on each questio n pu t un 1 ess he had a direct person al or pecuniary interest, in the event of such question, and on roll call should he not vote he shall answer “present.” After a discussion about the time to be occupied by debate, the discussion of the substitute began. At the expiration of the limit set the vote was taken. The Republicans all voted in favor of it and the rule was adopted—2l2 to 47. Mr. Reed was immediately surrounded by his friends and given an ovation. After an avalanche of reports had been submitted the House went into committee of the whole on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. At 4:40 p. m. the House adjourned. Senator Caffery arose to a question of privilege in the Senate, Wednesday, and denied certain allegations against his official conduct in the New York Post. Commander Dickens, who acted as the official representative of the United States, and as an escort of the Duke of Veragua during his tour of the country last year, was granted permission to accept a decoration from the King of Spain. The venerable Senator Morrill spoke in opposition to the tariff bill and was given unusually respectful attention. In spite of his eighty-four years Senator Morrill spoke vigorously for sixty-five,minutes. Senator Turpie spoke on the tariff at length. He defended the income tax proposition. In conclusion the Senator said that the opponents of the bill had opposed the putting of wook on the free list on the plea that It Would check the development of high grades of sheep, but for himself he preferred that the people of the country could have cheap blankets and cheap clothing than that they should have fine southdown mutton to eat. It was not a question of which bill (the Senate or House bill) was the better, but whether any reform bill would receive the support of a majority in Congress. It was not to be forgotten that the bill now before the Senate was the official act and deed of the Democratic party, and as such was entitled to the support of every member of the party who occupied a seat in either House, not only jn its final vote, but at every stage in its progress. He was jjo-tgiftod with thc- prescienee to know the Tate of the bill, whether it was to pass or fail, but whatever happened he was not going to predict defeat and death for the Democratic party. To sow and not to reap; to stand for long years in hope and expectation, not to bo realized, was the rule in reform from which the noblest characters had never been exempt. Justice might bo delayed, baffled, even betrayed and wounded, but it would arrive at last
Speeches in oppssltion to thetariff bill were made by Senator Cameron and Mr. Quay. An 6:10, after an hour’s executive session, the Senate apjourned. Wednesday’s session of the House was entirely devoted to the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. Incidentally the Hawaiian policy came up, the Van Alen appointment was discussed, Wanaamakcr’s gift of 5400,000 to the Republican campaign fund in 1888 was referred to. many unpleasant personalities were ex-, changed, and altogether the day may bo said to have been fruitful in its production of campaign literature. Mr. Wise, ol Virginia, made a speech in which he challenged the right of Mr. Reed to claim the credit for the idea of counting members to make a quorum. The originator of that idea, ho asserted, was John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, who fourteen years ago proposed a modification to the rules designed to take into account in determining the presence of a quorum of members present but refusing to vote. On that occasion Mr. Reed had, with groat vehemence, denounced the proposition. Ho had urged that it was not the physical presence of a majority of the members which tno constitution had contemplated as a quorum, but a majority present and participating—a thing, added Mr. Wise, sarcastically, which Thomas B, Reel has not done for a month. Mr. Grosvenor concluded the debate for the day and the House adjourned. Senator Perkins occupied the greater part of the day in a speech against the tariff, in the Senate, Thursday. Senator Galllnger’s resolution calling on the Secretaries of the Treasury and Interior for lists of clerks appointed, promoted and reduced, was passed. At 5 o'clock eulogies in memory of the late Representative Enochs, of Ohio, were pronounced, and at 5:15 the Senate adjourned. The House, Thursday, continued the consideration of the consular appropriation bill. At 4 o’clock half the members diasppeared to attend the first ball game of the season. Representative Springer made a speech In which he lauded Secretary Gresham and spoke of him as a great statesman. An attempt to vote on the Lacey amendment to 1 the pending measure disclosed no quorum, and after a roll call the House adjourn**’-

THE GREAT CRUSADE.
Progress of Coxey’s Common- ■■■"■ weal Army. Setting Down Toward* the Capital— Scenes And incidents—Notes. - The Army of the Commonweal embarked on canal boats at Cumberland, Md., Tuesday at noon. The ran will be made without interruption to Williamsport, where the ragkfig canal will be forsaken and a six-mile tramp taken to Hagerstown, the next stopping place. From Hagerstown the army will continue on the route formerly laid through Frederick, Boonsborough, and on to Washington. The loading of the horses into the boat was accomplished without accident, though with enough of incident, as the big Percheron stallion and the lighter trotting horses were pushed, pulled and lifted into the hold of the vessel. The men stowed themselves away in the other boat, and the fleet moved down the canal with cheers of the crowd ringing in their jars. The army has high hopes for the remainder of the journey. The Coxey navy on the “raging canawl” reached Hancock, Md., Wednesday, and irew up,under a bridge for {he night. The men swarmed up and filled the saloons on the main street, and practically took possession of the town. Citizens absolutely refused any supplies, >nd the commissary stores were drawn upon. Crackers and cheese were the best that could be obtained from this source. It was learned that the “Great Unknown”, the veiled lady and ‘■Cheek” Childs, who had acted as the advance agent ever since leaving Massillon, had been in town, held a public meeting and raised funds with which they had decamped. Coxey at once dispatched messengers ahead denouncing the men as imposters and asking their arrest for obtaining money under false pretense* ■ , . -.. . ' .•’ ■ :
The main column of the Commonweal army on board the canal fleet arrived at Hagerstown, Md.. Thursday evening. The town was alarmed and seventy extra deputy constables had been sworn in to serve as a reception commltteee. The army lost quite a number of men at Hancock because of drunkenness, but the majority of the laggards followed the towpath and rejoined at Hagerstown. The main division of Coxey’s commonweal left the canal boats at Williamsport and marched to Hagerstown, Md.. Friday, En route another toll gate was encountered and the commander was forced to give upoß cents forthe privilege of passing under the pole. A large crowd had gathered at Hagerstown and gave the men quite a reception. Gen. Coxey left for New York for a four day’s absence on important business. He will try to arrange for excursion rates to Washington for the great demonstration May 1. NOTES. Buffalo will send a delegation to join the army of the Commonweal. They will go by freight train. I The Boston division will start for Washington from FaneuH Hall, Saturday, April 21. ’ Divisions are forming at Butte, Mont, and Spokane, Wash. They expect to join the grand round-up on the Potomac before May 1. The Coxey movement was discussed in the executive session of the Senate, Wednesday, for an hour and a half. No formal action was taken.
The Denver division is now 110 strong. They expected to have captured a freight train, Wednesday, but failed,and marched to a suburban station to try it again The men are in a suffering condition. The Butte, Mont., division departed for the east, Thursday, 500 strong. They marched east one mile and captured a freight train. The engineer had orders to run the train back to the yards in case the army captured the train and heobeyed the order. When the train reached the yard the Sheriff and a crowd of deputies took charge of the engine. The army went into camp to await developments. The Chicago officials of the Santa Fe decline to ratify the arrangement made to transport 500 industrials from Mojave, Cal., to that city)
6 The Galvin division of Trey’s industrial army reached Cochran, Ind., twenty-six miles west of Cincinnati, Thursday, and will remain in camp till Monday. “Gen.” Kelly’s division left the camp at Council Bluffs. Thursday, In bad condition. During Wednesday night 175 recruits were received from various sources. The Rock Island route will probably take up this branch of the industrials and forward the men to Chicago. President Cable, on being Informed of the forlorn condition of the men, expressed warm sympathy for them, and recognized that their continued presence along the route was dangerous. It is said Chicago's police have been instructed to prevent the entrance of Kelley’s army. Portland, Ore., has 500 industrials who are trying to raise money by subscription to get East.
Providence will send a large delegation under command of George E. Boomer, editor of a Socialist paper. The Des Moines council requested cltlezns to provide food and money for transportation to Kelley’s army. ' Hogan’s band of 590 is camped in the railroad yards at Butte, Mont.

Commander Vinnett, of the unemployed army, has been sentenced to pay a fine of 82 or serve twenty days in jail at Colton, Col., for defrauding the Southern Pacific. THE KELLY DIVISION. Friday was an exciting day at Omaha and Council Bluffs because of the continued failure of G#n. Kelly’s division to obtain transportation to the East. Three thousand laboring men marched out of Omaha bound for the Commonweal camp at Weston, sixteen miles east of Council Bluffs. At Council Bluffs the host of sympathizers was joined by 500 more men with bands and banners. At 2 o’clock word was received that a detachment of Union Pacific shopmen were on their way across the bridge, and a Council Bluffs escort went down to meet them. They found over 1.000 men in line with flags Aying and blue ribbons, the badges of the army, on nearly every buttonhole. To the thundering of bass drums they marched up to Broadway and'over to Bayliss park. The streets of Council Bluffs by this time were black with a yelling, cheering crowd Business was almost entirely suspended. Flags were fluttering from the numberless windows and on every corner crowds were
grouped to listen to the labor ovatkmA; The advance guard of the shopmen were* armed with loaves of bread borne on tbn end of flagstafls, and the line appeared taj be endless. They joined the ranks of tha men already arrived and awaited the result of the conferencethen in progress. Sympathizing engineers and trainmen captured a Union Pacific engine and made up a freight train and ran it on the Rock Island track for Gen. Kelly, bnt he declined to accept it, saying that he would not receive stolen goods. In the meantime Gen. Kelly was in conference trying to obtain transportation for his men from the railway officials. Section men had been sent to tear up the track east of the advancing stolen train which they did. A detachment of the army was sent to interfere and at once relaid the track. Great excitement prevailed during the day but Gen. Kelly kept a cool head and serious trouble was averted and the men slept in camp at Weston, Friday night
