NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-At Gov. Cleyeland's
reception last night he spoke as follows:
Among the many invitations to visit diff
ferent points, most of which / have felt
obliged to decline, came one from my
Brooklyn friends to meet them and their
guests to-day. This l could not decline,
because l could not forget the kindness l
had received at the hands Of the people Of
this city, and the generous and hearty
support they gave me when l was a
stranger to them. I was a candidate for
the suffrages Of the people of your State,
and whether 1 am justified in the senti-
ment or not, l feel towards the city Of
Brooklyn in a degree as one feels towards
his home. Applause. In the midst Of
such intelligent thought, and independent
political sentiment, as prevails here, it
would be presumptuous, if it were other
wise proper, for me to refer in a
spirit of ~partissnship to the pend
ing political campaign. Applause and
cheers. This vast assemblage, and the
intense enthusiasm which pervades its
| every part, fully evidences your belief that
| there is involved in this canvass something
of great importance to your interest and
welfare. When this feeling is generally
aroused, and when it leads to calm investi-
cation and deliberate inquiry, there is no
danger that the people will make a mistake
in their determination of the issue. Jap.

blindly and thoughtlessly the lead
Of se%lf-constituted and selfish leaders.
Applause. I shall say no more, except
to express my appreciation Of the kindness
OF the people OF Brooklyn shown in all
they have lone for me in the past. I re-
turn my thanks to all here assembled for
their kind greeting, with the declaration
that no man and no party can ask more
than such an examination as you will give
to their claims to public confidence.
A telegram from Samuel j. Tilden was
received, regretting that the delicate con
dition OF his health compelled him to
forego the qualification Of being present.
Graphing for the Cable.
MANHATTAN BEACH, Oct. 17.-Every-
thing is very quiet to-day. There are nc
signs Of landing the cable. Electrician
Graham, from siemens Bros, and the
general Superintendent of the Ward Gable

present. Last night about 8 o'clock every
thing was completed on the Faraday for
starting the RATS with the cable to the
shore. Two miles of cable was coiled On
the RATS, with the shore end in two small
boats. The tug j. II. Stranahan started

Rockaway Inlet, several miles away. About
a quarter Of a mile of cable went over

hours, but failed to recover it. and finally
