FORE THE EXPOsITION-ANOTHER SPEECH.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 20.--It seemed emincntly
NJ that Cincinnati, which gave such an impulse to the
great Reform, should today under renewed tokens Of
unal triumph give Mr. Greeley the most ia pressve well

that ebbed and flowed 70 and from the train
since IT'S departure from EewYOrk had rolled
into one prod Hous volume and swept through the
broad avenues leading to the depot The crowd was
prodigous. All yesterday aud today the many lines OF
railroad utersectng this great city have been thronged
with uasseugers and the hour Of Mr. GTeeley's ar
rival Cincinnati could truthfuly have claimed 100000
vtOra IN addition to its usual population. From Pitts
burgh tie train had pierced It's way through enthu-
siostic masses, ana at Morrow, station ON
the Miami Railroad, the city council and
a large delegation OF impatient officials OF all

Euest an appropriate welcome Far the outskirts the
company approached Cincinnati the ways wero thrOngcd
with crowds In holiday attire, ana as the heart OF the
sty was reached, the streets gay with 9gs aud
banners and many coored insignia OF welcome and salts

became a bewuderng problem. The masses packed the
squares every hand, and overlooked into the depot

air snd for time this busy Western city took on all tue
froc and gsioy of the Roman carnival But there had
ALREADY been too much delay, anu INC ANXIOUS Mayor
suggested that still greater crowds were waiting Inn
patiently at the Exposition Hall. Finally the Council
and their guest were good humoredly allowed to pcn
trae the prodgous mass which closing up behind them
gave chance for Misunderstanding. This was boon to
MI Greeley who nearly exhausted by the perpetuay
recurring greetings OF the day and good time he reached
tho carriage courteously pat at his disposal by Mr..
PendetOn The deputaton followed as best they might
and presently procession OF eighteen carriages made
it, way through the tumutuous throngs Every inch of
available space the streets, every window balcony,
lamDpOst perch matter how insecure, afforded
odgment for enthusiasts and amid music, cheers,
and the waving handkerches and banners, party
drove up FTOnst 10 broadway, and thence Flithst
10 Vine-st. and the hotel Al this point tho masses
had redoubed and the spacious balconies OF The Burnet
House. and the roofs and balconies of the neghborng
