St. Paul daily globe., 1884-10-31

1t was finally decided to hold the reception
at the city hall. Here at O'Clock the corri-
dors were filled with an audience such as has
been rarely seen in New Haven. Up the
iron staircases the crowds passed. The COM
mittee in charge could hardly keep back the
surging tide of enthusiastic humanity,
In few moments the familiar face of New
York's governor was seen on the staircase.
The cheers which went up were deafening.
From the first floor to the vaulted roof the
CRY OF WELCOME.
broke forth again and again. The governor
Immediately stepped in front of the mayors
office. The crowds pressed forward in the
right corridor and were marshaled one by
one past the visitor Some of them we-, al
lowed to press his hand, some were not. So
anxious was each man in the crowd to get
chance to greet the governor that order
could not be enforced for some time, and it
was only when squad of
police arrived that the hand
shaking was made comparatively easy
At s 80 the torture ceased and the governor,
his forehead covered with perspiration, was

to sit down. He complained of the strain to

he said, with smile, sis stiff from the cor

strength. If you Democrats vote like

followed, Mayor Lewis doing the honors of
his office. When the city hall was cOmpara-
lively cleared the band, which had been
playing at frequent intervals, formed in
front of the building, snd hundreds of citi-
Zens, despite the rain and mud, formed into
an impromptu escort to attend Cleveland on
his way to the Bridgeport train. 1t was i'm
possible for the governor to make
the briefest of speeches during his
visit to New Haven. After a short
supper at the New Haven house the guest
had been driven to the city hall. From the
moment that he entered the building till his
carriage rolled away the noise of cheers and
clashing music of bands w6uld have pre-
vented an address or response. Large as
was the crowd at the depot on the arrival of
the governor, the multitude which occupied
the street and platform and surged out upon
the rails at his departure was still larger and
still more enthusiastic. n

Cheer after cheer followed Cleveland's
speech. The audience rose to their feet in

the galleries, which were filed
with ladies, were a mass of waving
handkerchiefs and it was fully ten minutes
