ALBANY, Oct. 28.-Cleveland and party
left Albany this morning. Great enthusi-
asm was manifested along the streets, and
the crowd chsered Justify as the Governor
passed by. At Newburg there was an i'm
mense gathering and Cleveland was loudly
cheered. At Haverstraw there was q like
demonstration and at Jersey City another
great reception. The party proceeded
| thence to Newark, where Cleveland deliv-
cred the following speech in the Opera
House:
FELLOW CITIZENS: I am here to visit
the county and State where / was born. in
response to the invitation Of many politi-
cal friends and o number of those who, as
| my %neighbors, remember my family il they
| do not me. / do not wish TO attempt any
false pretense by declaring that ever since
the day when q very small boy l left the
State, / have languished in an enforced
absence and longed to tread again its soil.
Yet I may say without affectation that
though the way of life has led me far away
from the place OF my nativity. the names
OF Caldwell and Newark still, and the
memories connected with these places, are
as fresh as ever. / have never been dis.
loyal to my native State, but I have ever
kept a place for her warm in my heart for
the love l cherish for my birthplace. ZAP
plause. / hope, then, that I shall not be
regarded az a recreant son, but that I may
without challenge lay claim to my place as
a born Jerseyman. Renewed applause.
II you will grant me this l shall not be
too modest to assume to share the pride
which You all must feel in the position the
State Of New Jersey and the county Of
Essex holds in the country to-day. The
history Of your State dates beyond the
time when our Union was formed. Its
farm lands exceed in average value per
acre that of any other State and it easily
leads all the other States In the number Of
its important industries. When We
consider the city of Newark we find a mu.
nicipality ranking as fourteenth in point
of population among all the cities Of the
land. 1t leads every other city in three
important Industries. 1t is second only
in another and third in still another. OF
course, all these industries necessitate the
existence OF a large laboring population
This force, in my opinion. is q further ele,
ment OF strength and greatness in the
State. No part Of the community should
be more interested In q wise and Just ad
ministration Of their government. None
should be better informed as to their needs
and rights, and none should stand GU,
more vigorously against the smooth pre-.
lenses OF false friends. Cheers. In
common with all other citizens they should
desire an honest, and economical manage.
ment OF public affairs. 1t is quite plain
too. that the people nave the right to de.
mand that no more money shall be taken
from them directly or indirectly for public
uses than is necessary for this purpose.
[Cheers.l Indeed. the right of govern.
