President Hayes wu met at Chattanooga by
tie members of the reception commit toe, and
arrived here on a special train at 11.30 a. m.
They were received at the onter depot by

ing carriages were driven to the Lamar house,
eacorted by the Knoivltle rifles, Capt. Alllaon,
and ft cominy of University cadets, com
manded by Lieut Baxter, U. 8. A. The
President occupied an open phaeton, drawn by
fonr milk white bones, ln,whlch were seated
Mayor Carpenter, Teres Dickinson and Rev.
Dr. Humes. The other members of the suite
followed In carriage. The streets were
densely Jammed with people eager to obtain a
light of the Chief Magistrate, and the shouts
of welcome were loud and prolonged. As the
procession formed, the University battery on
Temperance hill rang out a, welcome In thun
der tones.
The march was a perfect oration, and It wm
with difficulty that the police could keep the
way clear for the procession to pass, so eagerly
did the surging multitude press forward to the
carriages. Tho distinguished visitors alighted
at the ladles' entrance to the hotel and pro
ceeded thence to the platform In front where
an address of welcome was delivered oy Rev.
Thomas YY Homes. President Hayes said In
reply!

that there Is no occasion fur chango of topics, even
If It w era posslb'e to do so. When a committee
romes to me of worklngmcit I am glad to receive

tamo attention to them, and with Republicans it Is
the same with me. I believe tho (Inrcnimcntof
tbe United Stales ought to regard ailxotlie rights
and liitercstsofaU sections of the country, and
that the State Government, as well as the National
Government, should regard alike equally the right
and Interest of all races of men. Now, again,
upon this there is no longer any rause of prepara
tion. Washington announced thst the Constltu
tlon made ns one pcuple. Mr. W cbMer, coining
after, said, "We have one Constitution, we have one

better acquainted I want that the people of all
sections should be Introduced to laeh other. Not
exactly as the soldiers hare been, but to be friends,
as the soldiers here aro frkndx ; and one of the great
objects of this hour Is to encourage Intercourse
Intercourse between different sections of tho cuun
try. We wont you In New England and Ohio and

feel as much at homo In the Fouth on In any Suite
north of the Ohio rixer, to bo united in dutvand
united as citizens of different settloiis, then shall
we be a happier people to tho end of our caieer.
At the conclusion of tho speeches a public

Is a cousin of John W. Young's first wife, and
Is not a Mormon. His first wife was divorced
from him, and was subsequently married to
one Hlggliibottom, Her succior in the
Young household was Clara Jones, who now
lias two children.
She lives here quietly, having been dis
carded after John W. Young's third mar
riage, but not divorced. He Is about thirty
three years of age. a handsome fellow of sood
address, has been abroad several times of lata
years, and most have outgrown the absurdi
ties of the Mormon faith. He has never dono
much except speud his father's money. After
trying him at this and at that for many years.
Brigham Young, last (all, put him to helping
"run the church' lu the capacity of first
counselor.
Sluce Brigham Young's death, tho Twelve
Apostles, after "prayerfully waiting upon tho
Lord were moved to assume- the presidency
ot moinurcn tncmseives. jonn layjor was
confirmed as president of the apostolic board
or regents, and wiui him John W. Young, I),
II, Wells and Georgo O. Cannon were constb
tnted an executive committee, to manage tho
secular affairs of the Church.
This arrangement may be continued In
definitely, but, until the first presidency 1
again pet up, John W. Young may consider
himself a promising candidate. By roarrjing
tne ueutue, iiiuy t-anneid.and discarding tils
first two wIvm, and by his worldly associa
tions, doubtful orthodoxy and reputation as a
ne'er-do-well, he has lost favor In the eyes of
tno genuine Mormons, ana a new marriage
may bo a step taken to regain the lost ground
There may be a pecuniary motive. Unless
ho can provido forlimaelf somonhero Ir tbo
buslnoHSof church management his future is
not bright. I do not believe he will ac
complish his object, and while gaining Lothlng
with tho faithful, who consider him littl
lettcr than a reprobate, ho will lose ttT
thing with tho liberal, growing, progressive
element. t. i. truixne,

apparently in excellent health, and In cheerful
mood. Iking asked what his Intentions were
in regard tohls nomination whether ho pur
posed accepting or declining, hesaidt
"I have not yet Wen omclally notified of
my nomination, and you will see the Impro
propriety of my saying anything In regard to
it for the present. I do not think I ought to
speak about It now."
To tho suggestion that the official notifica
tion was a mere matter of form, about which
there was no doubt, and that he knew the
action of the convention as well as he would
at anv time, he rcnllcd t
"Well, frankly sneaking, I do not know of
any reason why i should not accept, ir I sco
that Is the unanimous wish of the party, and
that my nomination will tend to prevent local

such would not 1ms tho case, and that my nom

mat l snail accept tne nomination, tut i navo
not yet received the official notification, and

"Not at all. I had hetrd before the conven

did not suppose tin re was ono chance in fifty
that I would get the nomination. Those
things I always suppoxed to be arranged In
the local political assemblies; but I made no
endeavor to put myself forward either thero
or at tho convention. I first heard of my
nomination on the boat this morning, coining
