CLEVELAND.
His Grand Reception In the City Of
New York.

can citizen. II seemed that the entire
population of the city had spontaneously
arisen and come forth to do him honor:
the streets being SO damned by the great
mass OF cheering humanity that it was
with the greatest difficulty a passage for
the Governor could De forced through
the dense crowds that blocked the way
in every direction.
In response To an invitation, the Gov
ernor in the evening attended u large
meeting of the business men, hell ut
the Academy of Music, where. according
to the Associated Press" his reception
was something beyond description.
Every person in the vast audience rose
to his feet and cheered aud waved hand
kerchiefs or hets us though out Of their
senses. Governor Cleveland came to
the front of the stage and made several
attempts to speak. He was not allowed
to proceed for fully five minutes. At
last he succeeded in saying: Ladies
and gentlemen: / thank you for this
kind reception, and I am sure Il is cause
for congratulation that 30 many of the
business men OF this great metropolis
have found reason in the pending poiiti-
cal struggle for united aud earnest feel
ing. 1t has been my firm belief that
one reason whv we us a people do not
enjoy TO the almost the advantages OF
our form OF government is found in the
fact hat our business ulen ARE apt to ne
gleet their political duties. The idea i,
too common among them, that there j.
heroism and virtue in refusing To hold
Office, and "a stern denial Of any interest
in politics seems to be regarded by many
of this class as the b.st assertion Of
heir private virtue and business intrg-
rity. With the protection and safety Of
