SECOND DIsPATCH.l
ALBANY, July 29th-The rain, which
had ceased at noon time, set in again about
, o'clock. Despite the weather, Pearl
| street and Broadway were lined with peo-
pie, standing under the shelter of umbrel-
las. About the headquarters of the Pha-
lanx, on State street, the crowd was the
greatest. At little before 3 o'clock the
Phalanx formed on State street 100 strong
They were attired in dark suits, high white
hats and carried canes. Preceded by the
Albany City Band they marched through
State street into Broadway, to the Deia-
| van House, where the throng was so great
that the streets and sidewalks were almost
impossible. Here carriages to the number
of forty were provided for the distinguished
gentlemen composing the committees.
| At about 3:35 headed by the band, the
| Phalanx marched up Broadway followed by
the committee in carriages. The process
| sion turned up Clinton avenue and into
| North Pearl street to Hudson avenue, Mad
ison avenue to Eagle street, to the Gov
| ernorS residence which was reached about
p. NJ. An immense cOncourse of people
| assembled about the executive mansion,
| and police were stationed about to prevent
| injurious treSpaSS upon the grounds sur
rounding the residence. The guests were
prompt in arriving and when the mem
berS of the two committees were provided
| for there was very little extra space. The
ceremony took place in the large handsome
main parlor of the mansion. The only at
tempt at ornament was seen in huge banks
of flowers, which rested upon the mantels
of parlor and library. The ceremony was
brief, but exceedingly impressive. The
arrival of the committees III a
body was the signal for a concentration in
the main parlors. There the committee of
notification took positions on the south
end of the room, and the members of the
national committee ON the north. Space
| was reserved i'll the center, and as soon as
the preparations were completed, the Gov
| ernor entered through the main hallway,
standing with his back to the flower banked
mantel. The ladies of the party stood near
the Governor at his left. His appearance
at the doorway was the signal for hearty
and spontaneous outburst of hand-clapping,
which continued for several minutes. AS
soon as this had subsidized, Colonel w. F.
Villas, of Wisconsin, Chairman of the late
Democratic National Convention and of
the notification committee, stepped slightly
forward, and addressing the Governor in a
clear tone and with marked enthusiasm,
said
