THE DEMONSTRATION IN NEWARK, n. 1.-THE DEMO
CRATIC CANDIDATES kDDRsoa-HlS REFERENCE
TO LABOR INTERESTS.
GOV. Cleveland arrived at Newark, n j., bis
native city, yesterday afternoon, having received
ovations at every stopping place between Albany
and hts destination. A great crowd was assembled
at the depot at Newark and the governor and party
were escorted by an Imposing procession 10 the
residence Of Edward Balbach. where he was given
a reception. The hostess, Mrs. Balbach was as
sisted by Mrs. Gen. Mcclellan Among the prOmi-
nent gentlemen present were Gov. Leon Albeit,
United States Senator Mcpherson, Chancellor Run
yon, Gen. George B. Mcclellan, ex-Gov. Ludlow,
and other distinguished men, including several
clergymen. At O'Clock they drove TO the opera
house, where 1850 people were assembled. When
Gov. Cleveland appeared upon the stage he was
greeted With cheers. He was introduced to the
audience by Gov. Albeit. In his address TO the
assembly he referred to Newark as the place OF his
birth, and spoke Of the wealth and prosperity Of
the state. Speaking OF Its laborng population, he
said:
mo part Of the community should be more
interested in 4 wise and just administration OF
their government. none. should be better in
formed as TO their needs and rights, and none
should guard more vig1lantly against the smooth
pretenceS OF false friends. GCheerSl In common
with all other citizens they should desire honest
economical administration OF public affairs. IL is
quite plain, too, that the people have a right TO
demand that no more money should be taken from
them directly or Indirectly, for public uses than
is necessary for this purpose. (Cheersl Indeed,
the right OF the government TO exact tribute from
the citizen Is limited to its actual necessities and
every cent taken from the people beyond that re-
Quired for their protection by the government iS
no better than robbery. We surely must con-
denim, then, a system which takes from the pock-
cts OF the people millions OF dollars needed tor
the support OF the government, and which tends
to the Inauguration OF corrupt schemes and eX-
travagent expenditures. [ApplauSe.l The demo-
cratic party has declared that all taxation shall
be limited by the requirements OF an economical
government This is plain and direct, and it dis
tinctly recognizes the value or labor and Its right
TO governmental care when 1t further declares that
the necessary reduction In taxation and limita-
tiOn thereof to the cOuntry's needs should be ef-
fected without depriving American labor OF the
ability to compete successfully with foreign labor
and without tnjuring the interests OF our laborng
population. AT this time, when the sufirages OF
the laborng men are so industriously sought, they
should by careful inquiry 1t seems to me, discover
the party pledged TO the protection of their In
tereSts and which recognizes in their labor some
thing most valuable to the prosperity OF the
country and primarily entitled to its care and pro-
lection
After finishing his address the governor shook
hands with the audience, standing in front of the
orchestra as they passed before him. In the
night there were 12 $40 men in the parade. After
thei parade Gov Cleveland was escorted to his
carriage and drove at once to the depot, where he
took a special train In waiting for New York.
To-day he reviews the first and second divisions OF
the NatiOual guard opposite the Fifth avenue
hotel, and Will leave for Albany late tonight
