Judge Estes said that he and his associates, without political complexion, were present to ex- tend to the President of the United States a cor- dial invitation to visit their city. So earnest were De oe of Memphis in their desire that the ident and Mrs, Cleveland and members of the Cabinet and their wives should visit their city that they were unwilling to follow his suggestion that they present the invitation in writing, and were constrained to persist in their original plan of meeting him in person and urging | his acoeptance of | the invitation: ‘Memphis, he said, lay directly in tye President's path from St. Lous and Kansas y to Atlanta, and by going that way he would have the oppor tunity Of seeing the richest and most beautiful rt of the Mississippi valley. He assured the President that the people of Memphis would ex- tend a most cor welcome and generous hospl- tality, During the last decade Memphis had suf- fered from death and desolation, but the people had arisen and in a little time rebuilt and revived the city, transformil it into one of the most healthy and prosperous of the South, The people, he said, would deem it a [Heed privil to have the President and Mrs. leveland as their guests, ‘There would be a double ood from such a visit. It was good for the resident Of a great nation to see the people, to impress upon his mind his duty soand dependence upon them, and tor the people to see in the Presi- dent an object lesson, slowing the eminence that simple American citizenship could attain, In de- siring hi presence they were not, the speaker said, indulging in hero-worship;'that it was the’ President of the United’ States and not the man they did honor to, But the force of the President's utterances had tmpresse@ them with the idea that he was the exponent of the in- estimable blessing of perfect liberty and good citl- zenship. He referred to the presence of the cui- ored delegates, and sala that in Tennessee there was no discrimfnation as to the rights of citizens, On the part of the daughters of the South he ex- Yended to Mrs. Cleveland, their sister, a most cor- dial invitation to come among them, THE PRESIDENT REPLIED that he felt grateful for the invitation, and that his only regret was that he was not prepared to say on the instant that he would come and so gratity his own desire to go among them. He Said he desired to visit their city, and hoped to ‘be able vo so arrange his plans asto be there for a Short time. BUC the pressing exigencies of public duties and the short limit of time made it dim- cult for htm to go to all the places he desired to visit. He had, of course, heard of thelr desire of his presence’ before, ‘ang ‘had given the matter thought in’ arranging his plans.
