ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 27.-Gov. Cleve-
land and party left Albany, according to
programme, at 10 O'Clock this morning.
At 9:15 O'Clock the Albany Phalanx, the
representative Democratic organization
of the city, preceded by the Albany city
band, proceeded from the headquarters on
State street to Broadway, to Hudson ave-
nue., TO Eagle street, and to the Executive
Mansion, for the purpose Of escOrting the
Governor to the depot. Great enthusi-
asm was manifested all along the streets
through which the procession passed.
The Phalanx paraded 130 strong. and were
attired dark clothes, OvercOats and high
white hats. Each member carried a cane,
and wore on the lapel of his OVercoat a large
Phalanx badge. They marched with precision,
and presented a handsome appearance. On
arriving at the Executive Mansion they found
that quite a crowd had assembled despite the
early hour and the fact that the weather was
unpleasant and that light, cold driZzling
rain was falling. Gov. Cleveland, accOmpa-
MED by Adjt. Gen. John ID. Farnsworth. Gen.
Charles Tracy and Hon. Simon W. ROsendale,
entered close carriage in waiting and fell in
behind the Phalanx, which took up the route
of march for the West Shore Railroad deDOt
passing up Eagle street to Hudson avenue,
to South Pearl, to North Pearl. to Clinton
avenue, to Broadway, to,Maiden Lane, and to
the depot. The streets, especially Broadway
and Maiden Lane, were thrOnged with people,
who repeatedly cheered as the procession
passed along AT the station a throng of
several hundred was assembled, and they
were quite demonstrative in their greetings.
When Gov. Cleveland left his carriage, ac-
cOmpanied by Gen. Farnsworth, Gen. Tracy
and Mr.. ROsendale, the throng pressed round
the Governor. and it was with difficulty that
he forced his way through the crowd to the
train. The Governor held his hat in his hand
and repeatedly acknowledged the kindly
greetings. He appeared to be in excellent
health and spirits.
OFF AMID CHEERS.
The train was the regular West Shore Ex-
press. leaving Albany at 1855, but it was fif-
teen minutes later before it started out of the
station, amid the cheers of the assembled null
titude. As the train proceeded at slow speed
through the streets the crowds cheered lus-
tily. AT several points in the lower wards
enthusiastic Democrats had brought out their
cannon, which belched forth a sOnorous ''GOd
sDeed." As the train passed by large manu-
featuring establishments in the lower wards
wOrkmen appeared in the streets and at the
windows and waved adieux. At one point a
crowd of wOrkingmen assembled, and two
of their members held up a large picture
of Cleveland and Hendricks. while they
and their fellows cheered enthusiastically.
The first stop was made at Selkirk, but was
only IOr moment. Al COfymdnS junction
a stop of five minutes was made fer the pur-
pose Of switching cars from a western
train. At this point 200 persons had collected
from the neighbOrhoOd and cheered loudly,
while the band, which was stationed in one
of the rear cars played stirring music. The
Governor did not appear, except at the car
window. stop of a few seconds only was made
at CoXsackle, and here also quite a crowd had
cOngregated.

siasm iOstled one another without ceremony in
their efforts to shake the Governor by the
