AMONG HIS FRIENDS.
Governor Cleveland Spends a
Pleasant Day at Buffalo.
Mr.. Blaine Continues His
0rations in Ohio.
The MormOns Receive a Judic-
ial Black Eye.
cleveIand's Reception.

BUFFALO, October 3.-Nearly every
body in Buffalo to-day was talking about
the great demonstration last night in
honor of Governor Cleveland. The
weather cleared off beautifully after yes
terday s storm, and n large number of
visiting organizations remained for the
purpose of paying their respects to Gov
ernor Cleveland. As is his habit the
Governor rose early. Notwithstanding the
fatigues incident to the reception last
night, and after breakfast at his rooms,
with his Albany friends, received the first
callers at $50 Il. IN. From that hour
until luncheon, which lie also took in his
room at 2:30 p. M, there was an unin-
terrupted stream of yisitors, including per-
sons in all conditions of life, from the
humble laboring man to the millionaire;
for each he had n hearty handshake and a
pleasant word. Among those who visited
Governor Cleveland were many Of his old
friends and acquaintance in Buffalo who
had known him when he came here, n
poor and almost penniless boy; who had
watched his progress in his chosen profess
sion; and who now united in honoring
him. Very frequently the Governor
called up "reminiscences. He was always
in excellent spirits.
This afternoon the Governor drove
about the city visiting his old friends,
many of whom he had not seen since his
elevation to the G%ubernatoral chair. This
evening the Governor was given a dinner
at the residence of Mrs. Walter Cary.
Justice Field, of the United States Su-
preme Court, was one OF the guests.
Bishop Ryan and Father Cronin called on
the Governor to-day. A pleasant chat
was had, in which the Governor took oc-
easion to resent in the most emphatic
manner the charge that he had ever di-
rectly or indirectly influenced any member
of the Legislature regarding the disposi-
ton of the Freedom of Worship bill.
So as to relieve the Governor from any
embarrassment in its consideration Father
Cronin will make this statement in this
weeks issue of the Catholic Union and
Times.
Governor Cleveland returned to the
Genesee house from dinner at 1890 p.
m, and made preparations for departure.
A large number of citizens and the Cleve-
land Legion in a body called upon him

XENIA, o., October 3.-Mr. Blaine
and party left Cincinnati this morning
about 10 O'Clock by special train on the
Little Miami road. The crowd at the
depot and workmen in the shops facing
the track cheered Mr.. Blaine as the train
moved out. The first stop was made at
Milford, where there was n good sized
meeting. Mr.. Blaine was warmly re-
ceived and he spoke a few words of
thanks. At Morrow, in Warren county, there
was a fine demonstration. Tue party left
the train and Mr.. Blaine's carriage was es-
corted by the local committee and n troop
of mounted Plumed Knights to n pic
turesque spot outside the town, where
several thousand people were assembled.
Mr.. Blaine was received with cheering.
He thanked the people for their kind re-
ception and reminded them that Thomas
Corwin, one of the great champions of the
protective system, had represented War
rem county in Congress, and expressed n
hope that the earnestness and ardor Of
the people in relation to hat question,
would be as great in 1884 as Corwin had
made it in 1910. The pleasure of the re-
ception at this point was marred by a sad
accident. The cannon with which the
salute waa TO be fired, exploded prema-
%turely, killing one man and i%njuring an
other.
The day was closed with an immense
demonstration in Columbus.

CHICAGO, October 3.-The will of the
late Private Charles B. Henry, of the
Greedy expedition, who was shot for

Johnston Lowers the Record.
CHICAGO, October 3.-Opening day Of
the Fall Trotting and Pacing meeting at
the Driving Park. Weather warm, track
fast.
The first event was Fannie Wither-
spoon, trotter, with a record of PIT,
against Fritz, PAGER, record, 2:ls. Fanny
won easily. In the last heat she was
pulled up inside of the distance stand,
but nevertheless lowered her record.
Time. 2:ls3, 2l9l, 2:lGl.
The event of the day was the success
ful attempt of Commodore Kittson's
PAGER, Johnston, TO lower his record of
2:10. The conditions were most favorable
for speed and the mark set promises to
stand at the head of the list for a long
time. He was brought out and given a
warming up heat in 2:l9a. Then he and
Richball were brought out and the judges
announced that they would be started
about four lengths apart, not to pace
against each other, but each to attempt
to beat his own record-Richball's being
2:l24.
They were given the word, both going
fast and level. Johnston reached the first
quarter in 80 seconds, a 2:0S gait. After
passing the quarter post, Richball made a
very bad break, and was logged the rest
of the way without attempting to make
time. Johnston increased his speed
slightly, reaching the half post at the rate
of 2:07 for the mile, the second quarter
being in 3l4 reconds. Along the third
quarter the same terrific fightwas kept up
and the spectators begrn to cry, HE will
beat it" The ree-quarter post was
reached in LBS, and the cry was, See
him go. He will beat 2:09." Down the
stretch he came, even faster, but without
a falter, steady as clock work. Those
holding watches could scarcely credit the
tagging seconds and at the distance stand
the cry was, He will beat Dos There
was no Stacking of speed to the wire, and
the mile was completed in the unprece-
dented time of 2:O6I, the last quarter
being paced in Sli seconds, or at the rate
of 2:O5.
The horse and his driver, John Splan,
were loudly cheered, and Woodmansee,
manager for Commodore Kittson, was
heartily congratulated.
Richball then attempted to beat his
record, but only succeeded in making 2:l4.
The closing event of the day was the
attempt of the pacing mare Minnie r,
hitched to wagon with running mate, to
beat her own record of 2:O5. In this she
successful. The first quarter was
paced in 3I4 seconds; the halt in l;Oli;
three-quarters in 1914 and the mile in
2.03l. The best time at this way of going
is Westmonts, 2.0ls.

SALT LAKE, October Judge Zane
to-day overruled the demurrer to the in
dictment of ROdger Clawson for polyg-
amy, based on the claim only of excluding
men from the Grand Jury on account of
being Mormons. The gist of the opinion
is in these words That, mar who be-
lieves in the right to commit the crime he
is called upon to try, cannot be an impair
tial juror in the trial of that man. He
should not be influenced by such a mo-
tive. That, if a man is called as n Juror
to try a man for murder, ifhe believes the
man right in committing the murder, he
is not a competent juror, because his will
is Influenced by his belief or if man is
charged with robbery, if juror who tries
him believes in the right of a man to com
nit robbery, he is not a fit man to try the
man. If a man believes it right to
practice polygamy, in a polygamy case he
cannot possibly be an impartial juror in a
trial of that kind, Notwithstanding all
human laws to the contrary, if he
believes polygamy a command of a

Den ThomPson's Presentation of tho
Yankee Farmer Tonight.

No creation of the stage is more popu-
lar than Dcnman Thompson's Joshua
Whitcomb,' unless it be that of Joe
Jefferson's rip Van Wrinkle. Both
have the same essential qualities of popu-
larity, viz, that of naturalness. When
Uncle Josh is on the stage he is the Yam
kee farmer transported from his home
amid the cornields and green lanes to the
boards of the theater. Everything that
Den Thompson does seems to be per-
fectly natural, and in this lies the charm
of his impersonation. Every movement,
every gesture is that of the farmer, and
to-day Den Thompson is one of the great
est character actors on the stage, His
conception of the character is so real, so
u to life that it must be seen to be ap-
preciated. No description can do it jus
tice.
The company which support Mr..
Thompson is certainly most excellent,
and divide with him the applause of the
audience. Each seems specially adapted
to his or her part, and little improvement
can be made in the cast.
The Company are deserving and should
have a large audience. The sale of re
served seats begins this morning at
Rhodes & Troxell's.
