this morning. At 9:I5 the Albany Pha-
lanx, a representative Democratic organi-
cation of the city, preceded by the Albany
City band, proceeded from their head
quarters to the Executive Mansion for the
purpose Of escortihg the Governor to the
depot. Great enthusiasm was manifested
all along the streets through which the
procession passed. A light, cold, drizzling
rain was falling, which, however, did not
prevent the crowds from collecting and
cheering. When Cleveland left the car
riage the throng pressed around him and
with difficulty the Governor forced his
way through the crowd to the train. The
Governor held his hat in his hand and re
peatedly acknowledged greetings. He
appeared in excellent health and spirits.
As the train proceeded at slow speed
through the streets the crowds cheered
Justify. As the train passed by the large
manufacturing establishments in the lower
wards workmen appeared in the streets
and at the windows and waved adieux.
The fEt stop was at Selkirk, but It was
only for Il moment A stop of a few
seconds was made at Coxesachsi and here
quite a crowd had c%ongregated.
Newburg was reached at 80 and the
train pulled up in front of the station
amid the booming of canno and the
screeching of whistles of vessels in the
harbor. There was an immense c%oncourse
of people in and about the station, and
before the train came to a stop a general
rush was made for the rear car, upon the
platform Of which Cleveland stood with
uncovered head. Here also the hand
shaking was continued as long as the
train remained, which was scarcely five
minutes. Cleveland was repeatedly and
enthusiastically cheered. The demon
stration as a whole was a most
imposing one. At Highlands, whore
u brief stop was made, Mayor
Haynes and Alderman OConnor, of New
ark, here boarded the train. Brief stops
were also made at Cornwall, West Point,
Haverstraw and Cranstons. At Haver-
straw, great preparations had been made
TO receive the Governor train, and when
it arrived at 2:45 p. M, it seemed as
though the whole population of the place
had turned out. The depot was tastefully
decorated from one end to the other with
flags, streamers and Cleveland and
Hendricks notices. At every point of
vantage, both in the depot and the sur
rounding hills, ladies waved an enthusi-
astic welcome, were fired in rapid
succession and men shouted to the top of
their lungs. When the train came to a
stop a crowd of fully one thousand people
surged around the platform of the rear
car. each apparently determined to grasp
the Governor by the hand. Cleveland
was introduced by Congressman Beach as
Present Governor and next President
Whereat the crowd set up n wild cheer
ing. The Governor made no remarks.
At Haverstraw the Democratic club in
uniform was also in attendance and the
band which accompanied them played a
lively air, adding to the din. The train
remained there but five minutes and
moved on amid loud cheering.
The train conveying Governor Cleveland
and party was over an hour late on arrival
at jersey City. There was a c%oncourse of
several thousand people assembled, many
of them being tradesmen and employees of
the railroad company. 1t is estimated
that fully 5000 were in and about the
depot. The enthusiasm was great and
cheer after cheer was given for Cleveland,
who appeared on the rear platform aud
acknowledged the greetings. Several
hundred shook hands with him and this
process which promised to continue all af-
ternoon was only cut short by the arrival
of a fresh engine which backed up and
connected with the Governors car and
cars containing the Albany Phalanx.
NEWARK, October ga crowd mum
bering several thousands had assembled
in and about the station and as the train
came to a halt cheer upon cheer came
from lusty threats. The throng was a
cosmopolitan one and included persons III
every walk and station in life. Little
time was lost in forming a procession,
which took up a line of march for the
residence of Mr.. Edward Balbach, Jr

accompanied by Governor Leon Abbott,
