the New Haven House, where supper
was served. 1t was finally decided to
hold a reception at the City Hall. Here,
at O'Clock, the corridors were filed with
an audience which has been rarely
seen in New Haven. The committee in
charge could hardly keep back the
surging tide of enthusiastic humanity.
In few moments the familiar face of
New Yorks Governor was seen on
the staircase, and the cheers
which went up were deafening.
From the first fOOrto the vaulted roof,

and again. The Governor Immediately
stepped in front of the Mayors office.

corridor and were marshaled one by
one past the visitor Some of them

BRIDGEPORT, October 30. Governor
Cleveland returned here from New
Haven at about 9 o'clock, and
was at once escorted to the At
lantic House by Chairman w. H. Bar
mum, where a rest of nearly an hour
was taken. Notwithstanding a severe
northeast storm, a crowd of several
hundred persons accompanied the Gov
ernor to the hotel. A large gathering
had assembled in Recreation Hall long
before Governor Cleveland's arrival in
the city and was addressed by several
local speakers a short time before
10 o'clock Governor Cleveland and
party appeared upon the stage amid
immense enthusiasm. Cleveland was
introduced by Bernard Heating, presi-
dent of the meeting. Governor CleYe-
land said: 81 cannot forbear at such a
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 offered me- If this welcome was a
tribute to me as an individual, | could
only express my gratitude, but when
/ find l represent an idea that is the
same with you as with me, it is with
sense of solemn responsibility that I
stand before you. (Cheers.) The world
! has not produced so grand a spectacle
as a nation Of freemen determining its
own course. In that position you stand
! tonight. (ApplauSe.) AT such time
| the leader stands in solemn pO-
sition and the plaudits Of his
| hearers only serve to increase
the feeling of responsibility; that is, if
| he is true to his country and to the best
interests of her people, which pervade
his thoughts. Survey the field of the
coming contest, see the forces drawn up
in array against you from party
strong in numbers, hanked by a vast
army of office-holders long in power,
rich in resources, both of money and
! influence, but corrupt to the core. To
! day they seek to control the religious
! element of your country, tomorrow they
/ viii endeavor to gain the interest of
/ your millionaire SlnagnateS for the pur-
pose OF raising money to carry ON their
campaign. There should be no mistake
about this contest; it is an attempt TO
break down the barrier between the
people of the United States and those
! that rule them. The people are bound
! down by office-holderS, whose business
it is to make money out of their posi-
tons If you were to go on forever
choosing your rulers from this class,
what will be the end? This is a ques-
! ton every one of you can answer for
| himself, because you are the party of
the people. Thousands are fOcking to
our standard, for they love their fellow
countrymen and their country more
than they do their party. Let US feel
that the people are the rulers of the ma
ton, and not the Office-holders, whose
sole ambition and purpose is private
gain. (Applause.) Let US also feel that
if the people give US power IN the gov
eminent, we have a sacred trust"
Cheer after cheer followed Mr.. Cleye
lannd's speech. The audience rose to
their feet in body, and hats were
thrown into the air. The galleries,
which were filed with ladies, were a
mass of waving handkerchiefs, and it
was fully ten minutes before Mr.. Nc
Sweeny, the Irish suspect, who, made
the concluding speech of the evening,
could be introduced.
After the meeting, Cleveland took the
train for Albany.
