There were also large number of lndepen-
dent Republicans, who are usually unknown
in politics; business men, bankers, live stock
dealers and merchants, representing the bus
iness community Of Buffalo. There was
feeling of great determination among the
representative men tn at is seldom seen.
The reception given to the Governor was
warm and cordial, and all We'd in their et-
forts to welcome him on his way home. sThe
Governor was in excellent spirits. The ar
rival of the train was received with cheers,
the different organizations crowding around
the car and shouting for Cleveland As he
appeared on the platform, hat in hand. such
q cheer as Batavia never heard be-
fore went up, the Governor smll'
ing. and simply contenting himself with
bowiDg his thanks. Men without distinc.
tion of party crowded to the platform to
shake his hand. The train stopped but for a
few minutes. The special train which had
brought the Buffalo delegation was
attached, and the train sped on its
way. En- route the Governor went
through the train, chatting pleasantly with
his friends and neighbors and receiving their
many congratulations. Governor Cleve-
lands train arrived in East Buffalo at S:l5
D. m. five minutes ahead of time. The first
loud-voiced welcome was continuous, ano
the combined shrieks OF the Locomotives and
whistles created a din tnat was heard for
miles around. The train steamed slowly
into the depot, which was reached at s:35.
The driZZling rain, which set in early IN the
morning and continued with but brief in
termissions throughout the whole day, was
still falling, but IL seemed TO have no terrors
for the multitude, who thronged the streets
leading to the depot, and the depot itself
until they were absolutely impossible.
Tumultous cheering greeted the Governors
car as it came to stop in the depot yard,
and the din was kept up without intermis-
sion, and everywhere necks were
crsned to catch a glimpe Of the 6istin-
guished citizen who had been elevated TO
the Governorship of the great State, aud
was nominated for the highest Office in the
gift of the American people. The Govern
Or's appearance on the platform OF the car
was the signal for renewed cheering. The
Governor and his party walked to the Ex-
change street entrance to the depot, where
which were attached eight white horses
driven by liyeried coachman, Washington
Whiting. The Governor, accompanied by
the Mayor, Jonathan Scoville, Daniel ~.
Lockwood, who nominated Mr.. Cleveland
at the Chicago Convention, and Winfield
Robbins, Of Buffalo, stepped into the
vehicle, which at once joined the grand pro-
cession at Michigan street. His progress
was one

along the principal streets which were
jsmmed, sidewalk and street, by a cosmo-
politan crowd of men aud women, who
stood, many of them, without protection
from the falling rain, waiting patiently for
the procession TO pass. There was but
little jostling and no disturbance,
both Democrats. Republicans and men
of every shade of political belief
We'd with each other in honoring
their distinguished fellow citizen. The Re-
publicans cheered as loudly as the Demo
Gratis, seeming to forget their political differ
ences in the grand enthusiasm of the hour.
The streets throughout the line of march,
Notwithstanding the rain continued to fall
in a determined drizzle, and the air was as
chilly and uncc fortable as in a bleak No
vember night, we're packed with people.

profuse abundance hung from windows of
roofs, while immense garlands of the same
