Reception Of the Irish National Band.

Reception Of the Irish National Band.
This famous organization, which came over
the water the other day to give eclat to the clos
ing days of the Boston Jubilee, received
most enthusiastic reception yesterday from
their former fellow-citizens and their children,
who turned out in large numbers to welcome
the representatives of the music of the land
which they are proud to call their own, even
though they have become the adopted citizens
of another country, The Irish American Re-
lief Association, under President James Cum
ningham in their elegant regalia, and carrying
the Irish and and American flags, turned out
about noon with the Yarmouth Band, to meet
their visitors and escort them to their quarters
at the Preble House. The train was nearly
three-quarters of an hour late and the crowds
which gathered along thes prescribed route of
march, got somewhat impatient under the hot
sun. 81
AS soon as the train stopped the Irish Asso-
citation opened ranks and Marshal Hickey ad-
yancing with Mr.. Clements, and followed by
the Irish Band, introduced him to Mr. Cum
ningham, the President of the Association, who
spoke somewhat as follows:
Mr. Clements, and Gentlemen of the Irish No
tiondE Band 1t is with feelings of the deepest
pleasure that |, in behalf of the American Re-
lief Association especially, and the Irish citi-
zens of Portland generally, welcome you to this
city. There is not an Irishman, l would say,
but what felt proud of the Jubilee, for on that
occasion Ireland was fully recognizes as ma
ton. l hope, gentlemen, that your stay here
sill be pleasant one, and then when you re-
turn to old Ireland, you will bear with you some
pleasing recollections of Portland ..
Gp Eesponse, Mr. Clements merely said, SIN
behalf of the Irish National Band, thank
you" ...... r....
Band, after which the ranks were closed and
the Band were stationed in the centre.
TWAS rather more than half past one when the
splendid procession reached City Hall. They
Immediately marched into the building, the
irish band occupying the platform and the AS
sOciation taking seats near the middle of the
hall. The crowd of people which followed them
completely hlled the remaining space, and well
coined the visitors with cheers and the clappine
of hands. Mayor Kingsbury in the meantime
was introduced to the leaders. Mr. Clements
and Dan Godfry by President CUNNINGHAM As
soon as order was restored the Mayor addressed
the Band as follows:
Mr. Clement and Gentlemen Of the Irish Rand
Since you left your homes IN old Ireland Won
have heard words of welcome many times, an(
| think ] may safely say that on the shores o.
this continent where so many OF your fellOw-ct
liens have found home, there is no nationali
ty that has received or will receive more hear
ty welcome. Though you have come to one o

Democratic ~ Principles not to be
Abandoned. &

CLEVELAND, O., July 15.-The Plaindealer
to-day publishes a letter from Hon. A. G..
Thurman in which he says. though he would
straight Democratic ticket, he will work earn
estly for the election of Greeley and Brown, as
it is the will of the party, and believing the
welfare of the country requires the defeat of the
present administration. The nomination of
Greeley and Brown at Baltimore, he says, was
the work of the people, politicians having moth
ing or little to do with it. The Democratic
party does not abandon its principles, but be-
lieving as it does that the course of the radical
leaders threaten to destroy all constitutional
and Democratic IDEAS it is bound by its princi-
pies to seek to overthrow those leaders, and if
it cannot do it by the mode it would prefer it is
but common sense to take the next best mode.

cident of a Greeley meeting at that place last
week:
During the meeting there were persistent calls
for a gentleman from New York to address the
meeting. He was present, as were number of
Others, as a spectator, and did not respond to
the call. The Greeley men were not content to
let him sit quietly in his seat, but wanted an
endorsement of Graeley and Brown from him.
Their calls were long continued, each time
louder and more persistent. Human nature
could stand it no longer, he responded to the
point. He said: 1.-THE speech he should make
