The Journey to New York was made with
out any particular incident. The train ar
rived at the Market street depot about 5
O'Clock. Here vast throng of several thou
sand had assembled in and about.
the station, and as the train
came to a halt cheer after cheer came
from lusty throats. The thing was a cosmo-
poitan one, and included persons in every
walk and station in life. Little time was
lost in forming the procession which took up
the line of march for the residence of Mr.
Edward Balback, Jr., at the corner of Fer
guson and Front streets. Here the ar
raugements had been admirably pre-
pared. Half a dozen carriages, drawn by
caparisoned horses, each with nodding red
white and blue plumes and driven by liveried
coachmen, had been provided. Gov. Cleve-
land took a seat in the first carriage accom-
panied by Gov. Leon Albeit, OF New Jersey.
Mavor HAYNES, of New York, and
Alderman Smith, chairman Of the local
committee of arrangements. In the other
carriages we're Adjutant GeneralJ. g. Farms
worth, of Gov. Cleveland's staff Gen. Chas.
Sracy, of Albany, and members OF the local
committee Of arrangements and press rep
resentatiyes. Following these came Vass'
Newark band Of sixty pieces, tile Essex
county club. Randolph club and Joel Parker
association, all of Essex county. They were
in citizens dress, carried canes and each
had a handsome club badge and bautoniere
pinned to the lapel of his coat Then came
the Albany city band of thirty-fve pieces:
and the Albany phdlanx 130
by Cappos' Seventh Regiment band
and several hundred representatives of busi-
ness and trades organizations from Newark
and surrounding places. The line of march
was taken up amid tumultuous cheering.
Gov. Cleveland stood up in the vehicle and
with hat in hand acknowledged the cordial
greetings. Thousands of people lined Mar
ket street on both sides, and many men,
more enthusiastic than their neighbors, ran
after the governors carriage to shake the
distinguished visitor by the hand. The
decorations all along Market and Ferguson
streets were profuse, and in many instance
exceedingly elaborate, including the Ameri-
can colors and streaners, portraits of the
Democratic candidates, Chinese lanterns,
gas Jets supplemented with the discharge of
pyrotechnies and booming cannon. The
decorations of residences on Ferguson and
Front streets, in the vicinity Of the Balbrich
residence, were particularly beautiful. Great
care had evidently been taken upon them.
The vicinity of the Balbrich residence was
packed with men, women and
children. who crowded out ilto the
street, barely leaving passage
way sufficiently wide for the procession to
pass. 4 canopied and carpeted passageway
had been constructed leading TO the main
entrance Of Mr.. Baibric!l's residence, through
which Gov. Cleveland and guests and the
local committee passed. The residence was
elaborately decorated, both exterior and in
terror, in honor of the occasion. The exter-
ior was almost covered with bunting and
Chinese lanterns tastefully arran ged. In
several windows portraits of the Demo
room of the house, which is one of the most
spacious in the city, contained living plants
from the large conservatory attached, and the
air was heavy with the rich perfume of flow
ers. The gas fixtures were tastefully dec
Grated with smilax. As Gov. Cleveland en-
tered he was greeted by his host and hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Gen. Mcclellan, Mrs. Chan
cellor Runyon and Miss Runyon, Mrs. DR..
DR.. Dodd, Mrs. DIR. Dean Stansbury, and
others prominent in social circles. A recep-
ton followed of an entirely inform al

at their disposal. Among the prominent

that packed the hall. Large oil painting
