headquarters from all parts of the city, They
marched with flags and banners flying to the
stations assigned them in the street adjoin-
ing the entrances to the East river bridge,
where they fell into line and awaited the ar
rival OF the general of the day. All the space
for blocks about the bridge entrance was
throDged with citizens waiting to welcome
the presidential candidate. The chairman
of the campaign committee, eX-Sen ator
Murtha, with others of the committee
and the chairman of the young Democrats
and Independent Republicans received the
governor when he arrived in his carriage.
On the Brooklyn side of the bridge vast
throng of people had assembled, who cheered
enthusiastically, and above the deafening roar
rose the piercing shrieks of hundreds of steam
whistles from steamboats, and tugs on the
river. Business houses and private residences
were decorated with bunting, and every win
dow was filled with men and women. The
men added their voices to the cheering throng
below, while hundreds of white handkerchiefs
luttered in the hands of the ladies.
Standing up in his open barouche the gov
ernor bowed his acknowledgements in re-
sponse to the greeting accorded him, and
looked upon the enthusiastic throng with a
pleased smile. His expression was one of
entire self possession, satisfaction and quiet
confidence. The governors carriage took
its place in the line, the uniformed organi-
cations assumed their positions, the band
struck up lively marching air, and the pro-
cession moved toward the Pierrepont house,
through streets lined with crowded and
cheering spectators, and beneath flags and
| banners swung in the breeze from the
houses along the route. AS cheer after
cheer broke out and thousands of ladies at
open windows waved their handkerchefs
The governor repeatedly bowed on either
side in response to the hearty greetings.
The plaza surrounding the city hall was
densely thronged, and from the building
waved the national and state colors in honor
of the city's guest. Gov. Cleveland was
driven to the Pierrepont house, where large
| crowds of people awaited his arrival, among
them many of the most distinguished men
of this state. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher wa
present and was heartily cheered. After
shaking hanks with the large number intro
duced to him the governor was escorted to the
art assembly rooms connected with the acad-
esmy Of music on Montague street
The building was handsomely decorated
with bunting and evergreeus, and was
desely thronged. The street outside was
crowded to its utmost capacity.
As the governor appeared on the street on
his way to the Academy, he was again
cheered by the thousands of voices On en-
tering the building he was surrounded by
those waiting to greet him, and for some
time, he was kept busy shaking the hands
of hundred of citizens presented to him.
Among them, Mayor Lowe, Commissioners
Fleischmann and Partridge, Aldermen Kane,
Collins and Olena, Corporation Counsel
Taylor, Horace E. Deming, Senator Ker-
nan, Jas. c. Hendrix and Sena-
tor Jacobs. They were followed
by 200 members of the reception commit
tee who filed past the governor shaking
hands. Hundreds more were waiting their
turn to grasp the governors hands, but
time did not permit it, and he was escorted
from the academy and once more took his
seat in the carriage.
