A Popular Demonstration.

The reception given to Governor
CLEVELAND at his home, Buffalo, was
more than an ovation, it was a triumph
1t is true that the Rev. Ball, the BLACK
ball, did not figure among those who paid
deserved tribute to the spotless charac
ter of New York's great Governor; mol
yet was he paraded as a captive among
the distinguished freemen who formed
the triumphal procession; for he and
those who have encouraged him in his
dirty work had hidden themselves from
the gaze of decent people, conscious
that the brand of condemnation was to
be fixed upon them. Although it was a
rainy and chilly evening the warm hearts
of the loyal and virtuous citizens OF
Buffalo and the surrounding country
made them brave the weather, and the
feet of 10000 men kept step to mar
tial music, while the hero of the Presi-
Dental canvass of 1884 was being vim
Dictated in the eyes of the world from
the ISLANDERS of hypocritical and malig-
nant partisans.
1t had been said that Governor CLEvE-
LANDS own home had repudiated him,
and that among the good and the pure
of the city of Buffalo he had few sup
porters. His friends knew that this was
a false statement, and they sought the
opportunity to brand it as false in the
most public and emphatic manner. The
magnificent pageant in honor of an un-
corrupt and patriotic official which
Governor CLEVELAND received from
the balcony of the Genesee House was
the response which his friends and neigh
bors offered to the false accusations that
had been made against him. His vindi-
cation has been complete and overwhelm-
ing; but the good people of Buffalo will
not be satisfied until by their vote they
have aided in placing him in the exalted
Office for which his record shows that he
is especially fitted.

Cleveland at the Genesee House facing
the street and balcony where he addressed
the people, showed that his temporal com
forts had not been forgotten. The elegant
apartments had been tastefuIIy arranged.
There was profusion OF flowers. Between
the large windows facing the street vas \
large horseshoe depending from the walls
and gas fixtures. Smilax and choice
rosebuds lent their beauty and fragrance.
Rich boquets were scattered about, and
upon the mantels Of the suite Of rooms
beautiful buds and choice cut flowers were
literally arranged. The freplaces were
banked with potted plants and cut flowers.
The Governor will pass q quiet day to-
morrow among his old friends and acquain-
tances. He leaves tomorrow night at
11:2o O'Clock, arriving in Albany at $40
O'Clock Saturday. It was long after
midnight when the BuffaIonians retired.

AT UNION CHURCH.

An eye witness tells US that Barksdale
and Bailey met with an enthusiastic
ovation at Union Church. A salute was
fred ;and Democratic baner was raised
Barksdale was cheered to the echo, and
seeing the youthful face of Bailey they
were so surprised to hear the
great principles of the grand old
party flow like enhancing music from
his eloquent lips that they crowded
about, cheered him, shook hands with
him, patted him on the back, and when
he concluded looked as if they were
going to carry him from the stand Bailey
is remarkable young man. In oratory
he is perfect, and is the embodiment Of
grace and eloquenco.

says: "He wandered about the stage
without precision or animation, utter

ments have been cancelled.

Hon. E. Barksdale and Elector ]. w
Bailey put in an appearance. They were
met at the depot and escorted to thu
hotel by proper committee. Tit
courthouse bell rang, and a large crowC
filed in. The first speaker introduced By
Chairman Annette, was Hon. j w Bailey
Immediately upon opening he secured the
attention of his hearers, and heed it tt
the end. We have not space to make {
synopsis of the speeches, but to say that
Mr.. Bailey surprised and pleased every
one is but Just. He surprised them il
that one so, young was SO thoroughly
conversant with the affairs of the nation
the records of the political parties, and
the able and truly eloquent manner in
which he handled his important themes.
He pleased them by demonstrating that
the cause was il. able and earnest
hands.
Mr.. J. B. Yellowly, Republican candi'
date for Congress, was present, and being
granted division of time, followed in a
speech of some length. OF course he
stated his side of the case with the best
grace he could, but Mr.. Yellowly is in
the wrong pew, and he evidently feels it.
His speech was pronounced very feeble
effort even for Republican.
Mr.. Barksdale followed. As usual, he
had his array of facts and figures at his
tongues end, and gave his listeners the
benefit of an earnest, eloquent Democrat
ic speech, sound in principle and
convincing in logic. He was frequently
interrupted with an outburst Of applause.
In his fifteen minutes for rejoinder,
Yellowly was even more at sea than in
his opening speech, and when he took
his seat Barksdale again commenced the
skinning process, and left Yellowly in
the condition of the parrot after his tus-
sic with the monkey.
Barksdale overwhelmed his antago-
mist with his {Yellowly's) unpleaant
record, and maintained each and every
point he had made. 1t was clearly to be
seen that Yellowly was no match for
Barksdale, and no doubt ere this he has
arrived at the same conclusion. The
people accorded him a patient, uninter-
rupted hearing, and he could make no
nor find any reason for his
failure except in himself and the I'M
worthy cause he attempted to uphold.

Yellowly is dead duck as far as thi:

| REV. C. K. MARSHALL, D. D.-My DedI
Doctor l desire to acknowledge the re
ceipt of copy of your letter requesting
the President and Managers of the New
Orleans Exposition to appropriately recog
nize the Sabbath during the Exposition
| by religious worship, and to thank you
very cordially and sincerely for the same
Your conception is a very happy and bril-
| liant thought, and as pointed and illus
trated by your eloquent pen presents pic
ture of striking grandeur and snblimity
Should it be adopted by the Managers and
carried out as outlined by you, it seems to
me it would be one of the most important
| and striking features of the Exposition
Any comment of broken down man in
his 95th year would seem presumptious,
and tend to mar the beauty of your grand
presentment, yet / feel like saying, and
will venture to say, that the object of the
Exposition, as / understand il, is to ex-
hibit to an invited world the progress and
improvement of these United States under
christian civilization We invite the
nations of the earth, whatever their re-
ligious creed, or no creed, to come and
meet us at this Worlds Exposition to
bring with them the evidences of their
status, genius, their manufactures, arts and
improvements of any and every kind, and
their gods if they so desire, that we may
compare notes with them; and as we
believe that all our progress from barbar-
ism to our present status, comes from our
belief in the Bible as the fundamental rule
for our government, and laws-in a word
as we believe that our christian civiliza-
ton is the best in the world, it seems
eminently proper that our religion,
and its manner of exercise, as well as
our wares and merchandise, should
be prominent feature OF Christian
nation in a Worlds Exposition. Nothing
more sensible than to show the nations of
the world how we worship the God of our
fathers, and to acknowledge before all the
world that we are under obligations to our
God for the many works of improvement,
comfort and prosperity which we present
for their inspection and criticism. And
let the Persian, the Mahomedan, the
Heather, let all the nations bring their
gods, their diyines, soothsayers, and teach
ers with their wares. Let all come, exhibit,
preach and compare notes if they will,
assured that they will be free from burning
and persecution, though their gods may not
tanswer by fire. Your. thought if
judiciously practiced, would present the
most notable and important exposition in
the worlds history. fear, however, you
will be unable to complete and carry out
your happy suggestion. The committee
will probably fear confusion, and perhaps
i'll feeling and disorder, but you have my
best wishes for success. Wishing you
many years of life, usefulness and pros
perity,. Iremain fraternally,
Yours truly,
ID. O. SHATTUCK.
