the corridors were filled with an
audience such as has rarely been seen
in New Haven. In a few minutes
Gov. Cleveland was seen on the
staircase, The cheers were deafening.
The cry of welcomed broke forth
again and again. The governor
stepped in front of the mayors office
and the crowd pressed forward and
were marshaled, one by one, past
the visitor. Some of them
were allowed to press his hand.
Each man in the crowd was so anx-
ious 10 get chance to greet the gov
ernor that order could not be enforced
for some time and only when the po-
lice arrived that the hand shaking
was made comparatively easy.
At $50 the torture ceased and Gov.
Cleveland, with his forehead covered
with perspiration, was dragged into
the mayors office and allowed to sit
down. my ARM he said with a
smile, ais stiff from this cordial
Handwriting. / will certainly carry
away with me good opinion of New
Haven's strength. II you Democrats
vote like you shake hands there can be
no resisting you"
Brief intrOductions followed, Mayor
Lewis doing the honors Of his office.
When the City ball was com paratively
cleared the band, which had been
playing at frequent intervals,
formed in front of the
building and hundreds of cit
liens, despite the rain and mud,
formed into lmpromptu escorts to at
tend Mr.. Cleveland ON his way 10
the Bridgeport train. 1t was ALSO
lutely impossible for Gov. Cleveland
TO make the briefest Of speeches.
FFom the moment he entered the
building until the carriage rolled
peated and the clashing music
of the bands would have prevented
an address or response Large as was
the crowd at the depot on the arrival
OF Gov, Cleveland, the multitude which
occupied the street and platform aud
surged out on the rails at his depart
ure was still larger and more enthusi,

AT BRIDGEPORT.
BRGDGEroRT, CONN, Oct. 30.-iov.
Cleveland returned here from New
Haven at 8 o'clock and was escorted
to the hotel by Chairman w. II. Bar
mum, where rest of nearly
ali hoHr was taken. Not
withstanding severe north
east storm, a crowd of several hundred
persons accompanied the governor
to the hotel. A large gathering had
assembled in the recitation hail long
be fore the governors arrival and was
addressed by local speakers. Shortly
before 10 the governor and party
appeared upon the stage, amid great
enthusiasm. Mr.. Cleveland was intro
duced by President Heating. Gov.
Cleveland said:
cannot forbear at such time as this
to express the pleasure | experience in
this sincere and heartfelt welcome that
the people Of New Haven, Bridgeport,
and the state OF Connecticut have af
forded me. II this welcome was a
tribute to me as an individual
could only express my gratitude,
but when ] find express an idea that
is the same with you as with me, IL Is
with sense OF solemn possibility
that i stand here before you.
Cheers The world has not
produced 40 great spectacle as a
nation of FREQ men determined In It's
own cause. In that position you stand
Tonight. At such time a leader
stands in a solemn position and the
plaudits OF his hearers can only increase
the feeling of responsibility that
Is felt by q mau true to his country
and to the best Interests of his people,
See the forces drawn up in array
against you. A party strong in mum
beers. Blaine Is aided by vast army
of oflice-holders long in power, rich In
resources but corrupt to the core.
To-day they seek TO convert the
religious elements of your country,
tomorrow they will endeavor TO gain
the interest OF your millionaire mag
mates for purposes of raising money e
carry on their campaign. There should
be no mistake about this contest. II
il an attempt to break down tbs
barrier between the people of tn,
United States and those that rul,
them. The p ,ople are bound down by
class of otiice-holders whose business
is to make money out of their position
II you were to go OF
forever choosing your ruler
from this class what will be the end
This is question everyone of you
can answer because Is is the party o
the people. Thousands are flockinl
10 our standard, for they love thei
country more than they do thei
party. Let us feel that the people ar
the rulers OF the nation and not tn
ofiice-holders, whose sole am
bition and purpose is pfi
vate gain. Applause'l Let u
ALEC feel that If the people give US tn
power OF the government we will hol
it q sacred trust.
