Mr. Roosevelt landed at New York on Saturday last, and

even hostile critics admit that no American ever met with such a reception. In reply to an address from the Mayor of New York, Mr. Roosevelt struck a true note when he said that " no man could receive such a welcome without feeling very proud and very humble." Both on sea and land the enthusiasm was extraordinary, and we read how his countrymen have conferred on him the significant title of " ex and next." Politics, however, were not allowed to intrude upon the national welcome, and Mr. Roosevelt has judiciously announced that he will make no public utterance on politics for two months.
