Memphis, Mo., Oct. 22. — Vice President Stevenson reached here at 10 o'clock and was met by about 2,500 people. His remarks were received with marked enthusiasm, and the people assembled were still cheering when the special train pulled out and lost itself to view on its way to Lancaster Junction and Macon, at which latter point an elaborate address was made by the distinguished traveler. His remarks at this point were confined to a brief review of the work of congress and the necessity of this congressional district continuing to return a supporter of the administration.
Three thousand, five hundred greeted the party at Kirksville, Mo. When the train slowed up Hon. W. H. Hatch introduced the vice president, who spoke a short time. At Macon, Mo., 15,000 met Stevenson and Gov. Stone. Special trains came from all directions heavily crowded. The vice president said he read in a republican paper a few days ago that the democratic party was dead, but, judging from the immense crowd before him, it was again at the resurrection. He left for St. Joseph.
