HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 12, 1901. ° 15 CHILDREN CARPET THE STREETS WITH FLOWERS - COMRADE McKINLEY. AM.FITZSIMMONS, PACIFIC GRO! Simple and touching was the greeting extended by the civil weor veterans to the President in Pacific Grove. He was welcomed as “Com- rade William McKinley,” and, putting aside the dignity of his office, the nation’s chief | became only an old soldier among old soldiers. In his | address to the encampment | he spoke feelingly of the war days and of the reuniting of the North and South by ties of patriotism that shall never be rent asunder.

'he townspeople had done their utmost to show how honored they felt by this visit from the President of the United States, and here, as n Monterey, there was scarcely a house but had received scme decoration. Lithographs and black and white pictures of the President were at every turn, and if the number of these is any Indication of the esteem in which the nation’s chief is held Pacific Grove is certainly more loyal to the administration than any other town in America. Greeted Simply as a Comrade. Upon his arrival at the assembly hall the President remained in his carriage He was kept constantly bowing in acknowledgment of the many greetings he received from the crowd. Hon. B. A. Eardley, chairman of the Pa- cific Grove reception committee, assisted | the President from his carriage and es- corted him to the door of the assembly hall, where he was met gy the deputation from the Grand Army Eneampment. He entered the hall on the arm’ of the officer of the day and was by him presented to Department Commander Motl not as the President of the United States but as “Comrade Willlam McKinley of Canton Post, Department of Ohio, Grand Army of the Republic.” Not until the veterans, Who had risen to their feet when he en- tered, were ordered by Commander Mott to “‘present arms’’ was his official dignity recognized. The President’s attitude throughout the entire visit was purely fraternal, and the veterans, whom he called his comrades, felt all the more honored because of this fact. 'fenrs Dim Veterans’ Eyes. His words evoked many evidences of deep feeling from the old soldiers, and when he referred to the hardships and rivations endured by them in their gal- jant struggle to preserve the Union there was many a tear-dimmed eye among them. Sald he: I | I am greatly pleased to meet the veter- ans of the civil war and my comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic. War in memory is to be preferred to war in motion. The sheil that has exploded is safer than when unex- ploded. Tt is a good deal more comfortable to talk about the war than it was to take part in that war (laughter and applause), and very much safer, (Laughter.) There Is not nearly s0 much peril in it. ‘And the events of war lose nothing by time; we rarely ever understate the story of our achievements. (Laughter.) We fight our battles o'er, but we fight them at long distance and none of our heroic adventures are forgotten. (Lmughter.) - That Is to my com- rades of the war, ‘to nobody else. (Laughter and great applause.) g The nation you served so. well owes you a debt of gratitude which it can never repay. You saved the_jewel,of ireedom for the family of mations. You preserved with your sword and by your sacrifices the freest Government of earth. ‘The South went to war rather than that the Union should live. The North en- gaged In the war rather than see the Union perish (applause), and you. triumphed. We constder less, great and appalling as it was, what the war cost us in life and treasure when we see what the war brought us in iib- erty, equality and opportunity. (Applause.) Americans never surrender but to Americans. (Great applause.) The men who yielded after four and a half years of struggle, who were blood of our blood, finally vielded to their own fellow citizens, and we are to-day a nation re- urited. T have passed within the last ten days over the track of many of the battleflelds on which you fought. 1 have been greeted by the men against whom you fought. 1 have seen the beautiful sight—beautiful to every lover of his country—of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic walking arm in arm with the Confederate Veterans, bearing the American flag and giving welcome and each vieing with the ather in the warmth of that welcome to the President of the United States, and each demonstrating in friendly rivalry their devo- tion tosthe Government and to the flag that shelters us all. And so you are to be congratulated to-day upon what yow did, upon what you suffered, upon what you sacrificed that liberty and union ‘might not perish. It cost a great deal. More than a half-milllon lives were given up as a sacrifice for the preservation of this Union. Some things are so precious and so good that nations which get them pay only with blood. And what blood this Union has cost us! But what a Union it is now! (Great applause.) Washington, in addressing his troops before one of his battles, said to them: {‘Liberty, property and life and honor are all at stake: upon your courage and conduct rest the ho of our bleeding and insulted country. r wives, children and parents expect safety from ’ IN NEED OF REST. Mrs. MecKinley is giving way under the fatigue of travel and the excitement at- tending the tour of the Prewi- dential party. Yesterday she felt too weak to accompany the President and rested in Hotel Del Monte during the entire day. oA President Mests (he Guests of Del Monte. [ S DEL MONTE, May I11.—What was planned to have been just a small and in- formal soclal greeting to the President | this morning developed into an affair of importance, and one rather formal, for the hotel was gay as ever it has been and the few minutes the President spent in the parlors were the nucleus of a most enjoyable evening of sociability. When it | was announced that, despite Mrs. Me- Kinley’s indisposition, the President would meet the guests of the hotel prepa- rations began in earnest, and before the evening was old the halls were full of la- dies gowned In their best and men in par- lor raiment. Through the corridors there fioated sthe music from an orchestra and the lobby was filled with the hum of eon~ versation and the gay laughter of a peo- ple that had found a new pleasure. The reception was held in the hotel par- lors, which were none too big for the num- bér who were there. Each was eager to be presented and the ceremony of intro- | duetion was a rapid and at times almost a perfunctory one, but no one knows bet- ter than Mr. McKinley how to make the formality, short as it is, a thing of reality and there was not one who met the Presi- dent who did not feel he was genuinely pleased at the introduction. The presentations were made by Mr. Scott and other members of the Presi- dent’s party. Outside, the trees of the park had been strung with lanterns that blinked and twinkled like restless moons as the light wind swayed them among the branches. The hotel was brilliantly lighted and the whole ‘affair was one of the genuinely select order. The President retired before 9 o'clock, and then the guests took possession of the ballroom. The President has come to Del Monte for a rest and he intends to take it. He has had one of the rear entrances assigned to him and no one else in the hotel may use it. He always has a car- riage at his disposal and his every wish is anticipated. When he arrived this mor ing he was offered the use of a gayly de« orated equipage with four black horse but he declined it, saying he did not wish 8o much ostentation. He was met by a committee composed of B. A. Eardley, Thomas Filben and W. C.. Gray, representing Pacific Grove: R. F. Johnson, R. C. Sargent, A. Shaufels, A. E. Pardee and Charles White, the Town Trustees; T. J. Field, 1_Jacks, W. W. James, F. M. Hilby, W. E. Par- ker, H. A. Greene, A. W. Jones Jr., J. F. Moore, T. G. Lambert, J. B.

Mr. McKinley will be received at the depot by committees, escorted to car- riages and driven on Beach Hill and up Pacific avenue between rows of school children, who will carpet the roadway with roses. A short halt will be made while the President makes an address, Mayor Parker introducing him. The drive will be resumed up Mission street to Wal- nut avenue, and down that thoroughfare to the train, ‘which will take the party to the big trees, where fifty minutes will be spent. Luncheon will be served. The train from the trees will reach the depot here at 12 o’clock, and ten minutes later it_will start for San Jose.

The Native Daughters will decorate the President’s car with carnations, violets and potted plants. us only, and they have every reason to believe that heaven will crown with success so just a cause." Thelr cause was crowned with success and the Unlon was formed. In 1564 Mr. Lincoln at Gettysburg said: “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this con- tinent a nation conceived in liberty and dedi- cated to the proposition that all men are cre- ated equal. Now we are engagld in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so’ conceived and so dedicated can long endure.” ‘That issue was settled and the prineiples of free government live and they are brighter and more glorious than they have ever 'n be- fore (applause), and all due to the courage and the valor and the sacrifices of the veterans of the war.

The President was compelled to decline the invitation, although reluctantly. A great basket of beautiful roses and carnations was presented to him for Mrs. McKinley. e e s s e sides of our war will be here and their sons will_follow, and this priceless heritage will be transmitted to our latest gemeration. In- deed, what you won and what we mean to presérve belongs to._civilizatfon and to the ages. (Loud and continued applause.) Secretary Hay Speaks. At the conclusion of the speech he was presented to the department commander and officers and was given a seat upon the platform while Secretary Hay addressed the veterans. Strict orders had been given to the ve erens who kept guard at the door to al- low none to enter or leave until the Presi- dent and his immediate party had gone out. By this means a clear passage from the door to the walting carriage was kept and the President was enabled to leave ‘he hall very comfortably. ‘e The Presidential carrfage did not get very far on its journey before another stop was made, this time as it turned into Forest avenue, toward the entrance to the seventeen-mile drive. Here he spoke for a few moments to the hundreds of people who were debarred from entrance to the Grand Army session and who therefore all the more eagerly awaited his aXpeuram:e. At this point it was very difficult to keep the crowd in order. Although the whole length of the street over which the President was to pass had been roped off and officers were on hand to keep the people back, the crowd disregarded all checks and pressed up to the very wheels of his carriage while he spoke. Then the party started for the seven- teen-mile drive, but before going very far
