GOVERNOR CLEVELAND.
MOre Of His BrookIyn Ovation.


NEW YOEK, October 16.-The process
sion reached the park at 2.10 amid the
cheers Of the vast multitude already on
the ground. The arrival of Governor
Cleveland at the main entrance was the
signal for a salute of 100 guns. The
enthusiasm was intense, and so great
was the crowd that it was with some
difficulty the procession could enter
the enclosure. The committee on ar
rangements had large force of men
employed from early morning and
everything was in readiness to receive
the distinguished guest. A large banner
was thrown across the street in front of
the hotel, with full-sized portraits of the
candidates, and the words: 1.-The
choice of Kings county" At the
entrance to the park there was a
large arch gaily trimmed with
flags and banners and excellent
portraits of Cleveland and Hendricks.
The Hotel itself was literally covered
with patriotic emblemS. From every
window was suspended flags, every ma
ton being represented, and long stream
ers of bunting hung from roof to
ground, arranged in many tasteful de
signs. Under the arch of welcome
passed the procession of the Governor
and party, proceeding Immediately to
the grand stand, other divisions taking
their positions in front of the remaining
four stands. a large brass band on the
lofty stand in the centre of the plaza
played Hail to the Chief as the adj
vanced division passed along the main
avenue. 1t was nearly half an hour be-
fore the speaking began. The principal
attraction was in the vicinity of the
grand stand, about 400 feet from the
entrance. 1t was 80 by 60 feet in
size, and accommodated nearly 100 peo-
pie. An American flag covered the stand
and was draped gracefully in front and
on the sides, banners of all kinds and
flags and remnants of every nation were
displayed to good advantage. The
decorations were not only elaborate, but
exceedingly effective in design. Gov
ernOr Cleveland was escorted to a seat
in the middle of the platform amid tu-
multOus cheers. The Governor grace
fully bowed his acknowledgements and
took his seat, while further preparations
were being made. The formal address
of was made by Augustin VanWyck,
chairman of the Democratic general
committee. When Governor Cleveland
rose to reply he was greeted with ire
mend0us cheers. He spoke as follows
