II cannot forbear, at such a time as this, to

have afforded me. If this welcome was
tribute to me as an individual,
/ could only express my gratitude but
when 1 find L represent an idea
that is the same with you as with me, it is with
a sense of solemn responsibility that stand be-
| fore you. Cheers The world has not pro-
duced so grand a spectacle as Nation of free
| men determining its own course In that posi-
ton you stand tonight. tApplausA.l At such
time leader stands IN solemn position, and
| the plaudits of his hearers can only serve
| to increase the feeling of responsibility
| that is, if he is a man true to his
country, and to the best interests of her people
| Survey the field of the coming contest; see the
| forces drawn up in array against you from a
| party strong in numbers, 1anked by 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 re-
ligious element of your country;
est of your millionaire magnates for the purpose
of raising money to carry on their campaign.
There should be mistake about this contest.
1t is an attempt to break down the barrier be-
tween the people of the United States and those
that rule them. The people are bound down by
a class of ofice-holders whose business it is to
make money out of their positions If you
were to go on forever choosing. your rulers
| from this class what will be the
| end2 This is a question every one Of you can
answer for himself. Because it is 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
| Nation and not the Office holders whose sole am
bition and purpose is private gain. Applause
Let us also feel that the people give US the power
/ of government; we hold from the people sacred
trust"
| Cheer after cheer followed Mr.. Cleveland's
| speech The audience rose to their feet in a
body, and hats were thrown into the air The
galleries, which were filled with ladies, were a
| mass of waving handkerehefs, and it was fully
ten minutes before Mr.. insolvency, the Irish
suspect, who made the concluding speech of the
evening could be introduced. After the meet-
| ing Governor Cleveland and party were driven to
the Atlantic Hotel and from there to the depot
