4 Magnificent Outpouring OF the Solid
Democracy.
New HAVEN, CT., October 3O.-ln this
city the rain had fallen heavily throughout
the day. All the arrangements for the day
had been completed, but they ended after
all in total cancellation. At 10 o'clock
this morning all idea of parade had been
given up. At the Mon depot at 2o'clock
the crowds began pouring in. AT three
o'clock over three thousand persons surged
in and out the depot awaiting Gov. Cleve-
lan's arrival Despite the heavy downpour
the multitude pressed upon the platform,
its denser portions gathering around the train
dispatcher office, and when positive news oil
Gov. Clevelands arrival at Bridgeport was
received, the excitement of his drenched ad-
mirers increased. The special train left
Bridgeport at Sis, but the announcement
Of this fact was made only to be fol
lowed by bogus telegrans stating the bad
weather would prevent the Governors ar
rival at New Haven, but the crowds would
not have it thus, and when the special from
Bridgeport rolled into the depot some mo-
ments before six there was a general Strug-
gle for positions Of advantage. Sober and
staid citizens cheered themselves hoarse in
The Mad Rush.
Outside on the platforms the crowd was
practically beyond control. The enthusiasm
was almost frenzied. Inside even the lunch
counters were appropriated for standing
room and all the while an army of hacks
tore down from the city centre AMI deposited
fresh additions to the distinguished visitors
weleomers. When the police had hewed
a psssageway Gov. Cleveland descended
from his train. Cheer after cheer rolled
through the depot, and the struggle to get
a glimpse of the New York statesman was
renewed by men wild with enthusiasm. The
Governor. with Colonels Lamont and
Farnswerth, OF his staff was followed
10 his carriage BY ex-Govern-
or Charles r. Ingersoll and
James Z. English. Ex-MayOr ]. b.
Robertson, Congressman Charles L, Mitch
ell, Alexander Troup, and score of other
prominent Democrats, and was driven
Immediately to the New Haven House,
where supper was served. il was
finally decided to hold the reception
at the City Hail. Here at I o'clock
the corridors were flied with an audience,
such as has been rarely seen in New Haven.
In the iron staireases the crowds passed;
the committee in charge being hardly able
10 keep back the surging tide OF enthusias-
tic humanity. In afew moments the familiar
face of New York's Governor was seen on
the staircase. The cheers which went Up
were deafaning. From the first floor to the
vaulted reef the cry OF welcome broke forth
Again and Again.
The Governer Immediately stepped, in front
of the mayors Office. The crowds pressed
forward In the right corritor

when q squad Of police arrived that the
handshaking zssnAae comparatively easy.
