ELMIRA. N. Y. Oct. %. 1879.
On Mr.. Kelly's arrival here this morning, accom-
panied by his starring companions he was warmly
received by his sympathizers. prominent among
whom was Mr.. MCGUIRE exSpeaker Of the Assembly.
The party visited the keformatory exploring it very
thoroughly. and in the evening meeting was held
in the Opera House, where ex-Speaker Mcclure pre-
sided.
SUNSET cox ON THE CIPHERs.
The building has seating accommodations for
about two thousand people, but the attendance
overhowed the seats, filled the aisles. and
finally part of it assembled In front Of the
Opera House, where it was addressed by Messrs.
Grady and Holahan. There were fireworks
and music and the audience. unlike those at other
meetings on the trip, had considerable sprinkling
of ladies in Its midst. Ex-Speaker Mcclure intro
duced Mr. s. s. Cox the first speaker OF the even
ing. Mr.. Cox made one Of his facetious addresses.
dwelling particularly on Tden's cipher dispatches
and causing intense merriment by his reading Of
these extraordinary connections and the transla-
tions with which they were supplemented.
Mr. J. d. Haskin had prepared himself for the
OCCASION and made the best speech he has delivered
during the trip, quoting, in the of his i'd
dress. the lines of Byron. in "Mazeppa." to whom
| he compared Mr. Kelly
%hsn: isansIsd T. the lissinIns's fash.
That one day should come again.
They played me then bitter prank:
At length played them one as franN
And. If we do but watch the hour,
There yet human power
Which could evade, ii unforgiven,
The patient search and vigil long
OF him who treasures up wrong.
THE HOSTILITY TAMMANY.
Mr.. Strahan followed in speech addressed to the
statistical history of Governor Robins0ns admins
MR. Kelly next. and said that he thought
and to them he would address himself in order
to convince the doubters He went again
Tilden's record, and said that he opposed Robin
son because he the servie tool of
Tilden 1--WE have felt," said he. 1.-THE animus
of their hate in the removal of our county officials
and hence attitude at Syracuse. No other
course open to us. will not tire you with
documentary evidence, but will simply state po-
sition. We have always been faithful to the demo-
cratic party have gone to conventions presented
no candidates of our own. TO say that tried to
dictate at Syracuse is falsehood fabricated to de-
lude the credulous.
T1LDEN's FRIENDSHIP FOR TWEED
"When Tammany was controlled by bad men we
and only when Tweed fell did Tilden wash his hands
OF him. did not accuse Mr.. Tilden of theft, but
he must have known that these frauds were CON-
mitted. We have to stand against prejudices
and calumnies. Our organization is painted
as sink OF iniguity: republicans might
us, but that Robinson. in his SEVENTEEN year and
calling himself democrat. should be as putty in
the hands of Tiden to injure and malign is
thing we will not stand. We won't allow of
Tiden's record TO rule the democratic party. As to
David Robinson / will not abuse him. but you know
as well as do that he has taken advantage OF his
fathers infirmties to lead him into the commission
of many acts. l may say without vanity that
weigh well beforehand what do. and now tell you
that the party can accomplish nothing until it gets
rid of Robinson and Tilden."
Mr. Kelly closed by saying that this same view is
commenting itself to the people everywhere, and
from the number of converts made within the past
ten days he felt justified in proclaiming that the
was between himself and Cornell.
THE CANALS.
At the outside stand Mr.. Holahan, in the course of
his speech read letter signed Henry l.. Fish, AS
sistant Superintendent OF Canals addressed to Mr.
Shaer, section superintendent. saying that he and
his family should work vigorously for the re-elec-
ton of Robinson. The purport of the letter went
show that the canals are not yet emancipated from
ings with a stirring address.
K serenade to Mr.. Kelly followed at the Rathburn
House. and few minutes after midnight the circus
struck its tents for home.
