About two hundred of our citizens,
including many of the most promin-
ent German and American members
of the Republican party in Cleveland,
made an impromptu call upon Mr. Ja-
cob Mueller Thursday evening. at his
beautiful residence in West Cleveland,
to congratulate him upon his nomina-
ton for Lieut.. Governor of Ohio.
The rendezvous on the East Side was
at Carl Seylers, Michigan street, from
whence about one half of the delega-
ton started, travelling in omnibusses,
carriages, open wagons and private
conveyances. The departure was
made at s 80 P. NJ. Along the route,
the procession was enlarged by &C
cessions from parties who were out
enjoying the pleasure of an evening
ride, AT the corner of Pearl and De-
troit streets, the West Side delegation,
headed by the Aurora band and
company ofsingers from the Maenner
Chor, Joined the party and the line
moved through Pearl, Detroit streets
to the residence of Mr.. Mueller.
When passing the residence of Colon
ell Lynch, County Treasurer three
hearty cheers were given, and s sim
liar compliment was paid Collector
Watmough. The members of the
company quietly dismounted from the
carriages when in front of the resi-
dence of Mr.. Mueller, AID marched
in body along the winding path
that leads up to the house. fanked
on either hand by we'll trimed shrub
berry and flowers. Having reached
the door the band struck up popu
lar air, and a brilliant fusilade of fire.
works opened the ball and brought
out the next Lieutenant Governor.
He was introduced as such, at least,
BY DIR. N. B. Prentice. and the crowd
seemed to have great faith in what
the doctor said. Mr.. Mueller return
ed thanks for the compliment, and
urged his German friends to vote the
whole Republican ticket, as that par
ty was the party of progress in the
United States and had demonstrated
its friendship for the cause of pro
gress in Europe. He did not regard
the ovation of the evening as a per-
sonal compliment, but as manifest
alton of the feelings existing in Amer
lea toward great body of Germans
who have settled in this country. II
elected, he eassured his German friends
that he would fulfill the duties of the
position to the best of his ability
faithfully endeavoring to reflect credit
upon his nationality and upon the
party which had chosed him as its
standard bearer. Prior to his re-
turn from Europe, he had not been a
party man, but when he saw how
earnest the Republicans were to do
justice to Germany in the late war he
felt that it was his duty, and the duty
of all Germans to give undivided sup
port to that party. Mr.. Mueller
spoke in his native tongue, and gave
abundant evidence of his sbillty as al: !:
impressive speaker in the German
language. He speaks English quite
fuently, but will conflne himself al
most exclusively to German audi
ences during the campaign.
Judge Paine followed Mr.. Mueller
in short and stirring speech, in
which he pledged the full strength
of the American Republicans to the,
support Of the candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor. Mr.. B. r. Beavis,
once law partner of Mr.. Mueller's,
paid high compliment to the great
worth of Mr.. Mueller, having known
him under almost every circumstance
in life. The point most conspicuously
brought out was the Office had sought
the candidate in this instance, and
found a fit representative of the
principles which actuate the Republi-
can party. His whole life has been
an exemplifcation of the principle of
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. He is eminently man of the
people.
Mr.. Buehn expressed thanks to the
assemblage for this recognition of the
German nationality, and pledged the
German vote for the whole ticket.
The occasion was certainly one of
the most enjoyable affairs of the
king. By twelve o'clock, the party
returned to the city, delighted with
the brilliant prospect of a largely in
creased majority over the guberna-
torial contests OF late years.
