bet, Mayor Haynes and Alderman Smith, of
/ Newark. The audience rose en- masse and
| greeted him with vociferous cheers. Gen
1 tlemen waved their hats and ladies their
| handkerchiefs. The crowd outside, which
! had been unable to gain adm lssion to the hail.
eheered again and again. Gov. Cleveland
/ was escorted to the stage amid applause loud
/ and long continued, on the subsistence of
| which Gov. Abbot addressed the guests of
| the evening. Then, turning to the audience,
| he said: "And in presenting Gov. Cleveland
/ to this audience tonight. believe as firmly
| as live that have the pleasure of presenting
to you the next President of the United
| States"
CLEvELAND's SPEECH.
Three hearty cheers were then given for
| Gov. Cleveland, and when silence was re-
| stored the latter said:
II am here to visit the county and State
| where was born in response to the invitation
OF many political friends and a number of
| those who, as neighbOrs, remember my family
if they do not me. do not wish to attempt
| any false pretense by declaring that ever since
| the day when very small boy left the State
| | have lanquished on account of my absence
and longed to tread again its soil. l can say
| without affectatiOn that though the way of
| life has led me far from the place
| of my birth the memories connected with these
| places are as fresh as ever. ! have never
| been dsloyal to my native State, but have
| ever kept place warm in my heart for the
| love cherish for my birthplace. Applause,
| hope, then, that shalllnOt be regarded as a
recreant son, but that / may without chal-
| lenge lay claim to my place as a born Jersey
| man. Renewed applause If you will grant
| me this 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 hold in the country to-day.
| The history of the State dates beyond
when our Union was formed. Its farm lands
| exceed in average value per acre those of any
states in the humber Of ' impor- d.
tant industries. When we consider
city Of Newark we find municipality
| ranking as the fourteenth in point of popula-
| ton among all the cities of the land.
NEwARK's LEADING INDUSTRIES.
''It leads every other city in three important
| industries. 1t is second only IN another, and
| third in still another. OF course all these in
dustries necessitate the existence of large
| laboring population. This force, in my opin-
ion, is further elemC MT of strength and great
ness in State. No part of community
| should be more interested in a wise and Just
| administration of their government, none
should guard more vigilantly against the
smooth pretenses Of false friends. Cheers.
| In common with all other citizens they should
desire an honest and economical administra-
tiOn of public affairs 1t is quite plain, too, that
the people have the righG to demand that no
| more money should be taken from them, di-
rectly or indirectly, for public uses than is
| necessary for this purpose. Cheers. In
| deed, the right Of government to exact tribute
from the citizen is limited to it's actual neces-
| sities, and every cent taken from the people
| beyond that required for their protection by
| the government Is no better than robbery.
| We surely must condemn then system which
takes from the pockets of the people millions
of dollars not needed for the support of the
| government and which tends to the inaugu-
ration of corrupt schemes and eXtravagant
expenditures. lApplauseI.
DEMOCRACY's DECLARATIONS.
"The Democratic party has declared
that all taxation shall be limited by
the requirements of an economical govern
ment. This is plain and direct, and it dis
tinctly recognized the value of labor and It's
| right to governmental care when it further
declared that the necessary reduction in taxa
tion and the limitation thereof to the cOun-
try's needs should be effected without de-
prlving American labor of the ability to COM
pete successfully with foreign labor, and
without injury to the interests of our laborIng
people. At this time, when the sufra ges of
iaborlng men are SO industriously sought,
t6es they should by careful inquiry it
| pledged to the protection of their interests,
| and which recognizes in their labor some
| thing most valuable to the prosperity of
the country and primarily entitled to Its care
and protection. An intelligent examination
| will lead them to the exercise Of their privi-
leges as citizens in the furtherance of their
interests and the welfare of their country.
An unthinklng performance of their duty at
| the ballot-bOX will result in their injury and
betrayal. No party and no candidate can
have cause to complain of a free and intelli-
gent expression OF the peoples will. This eX-
preston will be free when uninfuenced by
appeals to prejudice or the senseless cry Of
danger selhshly raised by party that seeks
the retention of power and patronage, and it
will be intelligent when based upon calm de-
liberation and full appreciation of the duty Of
good citizenship. LCheers.l
PATRIOTISM NOT ALL ON ONE SIDE.
''In a government of the people no political
party gains TO itself all the patriotism which
the country contains. The perpetuity of our
institutions and public welfare surely do not
depend upon unchanglng party ascendancy,
| but upon a simple, business-like administra
| ton of the affairs of the government, and an
appreciation by public officers that they are

AFTER THE SPEECH.
Gov. Cleveland spoke in a clear, resonant
voice that could be distinctly heard in every
part of the auditorium. As soon as he had
concluded, three more vOciferOus cheers were
given, and then the Governor took position
| just behind the orchestra railing and held
| levee which lasted nearly two hours. Ar
rangements had been carefully planned to
avoid crowding, and everybody, old and
young, rich and poor, gratifed their
desire to shake the Governor
by the hand. Many ladies presented the Gov
eTnor with bouquets and baskets of flowers,
| and before the reception was concluded a
table was heaped with floral offerings. Fully
5000 persons passed in and out in this man
| ner. At the close of the reception Gov.
Cleveland was escorted to a reviewing stand
in front of the City Hall.
THE BIG PARADE.
The monster parade was the feature of to-
night, and 1T is safe to say that fully equaled,
if il did not excel, the expectations OF the most
sanguine. 1t seemed as though the entire
population of Newark and the surrounding
towns was in the streets. Broad and Market
streets and the adjacent thorough
fares were impossible. The sidewalks
were thronged with people of all
grades and both sexes. Al day long trains,
special and regular, brought human freight,
and it is said that 10000 strangers were in
town. The decorations were general. Chinese
lanterns in many localities were stretched
across the streets. Bunting was seen every
where, and from the fronts Of many buildings
large portraits of the Democratic candidates
were suspended at many points. Along the
lines of march red light stations had been es-
tablished and the glare from these, combined
with the torches and many calcium lights,
rendered the street almost as light as day
During the early part of the evening there
was a light drlzzle, but not en- ugh to inter-
fere with the parade. Windows, roofs, bal
comics and all other points of vantage along
the route were occupied.
The GOVERNORS STAND.
In the vicinity of the City Hall, where the
reviewing stand had been erected upon which
Gov. Cleveland, Gov. Abbot, Mayor Haynes,
and other dignataries stood, the people were |
packed Gov Cleveland stood with uncovered
head during the whole time the procession
was passing in review, and as the various
organizations saluted in passing he gracefully |
acknowledged the compliment by b0wing and
waving his. hand. Ever and anon |
some organization would send up a
cheer, which would be taken up |
by the populace and carried along. The stand |
on which the Governor stood was elevated ten |
or twelve feet above the street, and extended |
south. 1t was brilliantly illuminated with |
electric lights, and three balconies above were |
packed to Overhowing, as was also the main |
stand. The procession was fully two hours in |
passing the reviewing stand, having got under |
way at 10 o'clock. Many of the notices |
borne by the clubs aroused cheers. |
The streets rang with ehoruses of "Marching |
through Georgia" "John Browns body" and |
other we'll known airs. The best of order |
prevailed throughout the evening.
OVER $4,000 MEN IN LINE.
A count of men in line taken as accurately /
as could showed l2,4S0. The demonstration |
was characterized as the greatest that had |
ever been seen in the city.
The last organizations passed in review at |
y O'Clock, when with final cheers the people |
separated for their homes or to |
catch late trains. Gov. Cleveland |
was escorted to his carriage and drove |
at once to the depot, where he took |
a special train in waiting for New York. To- |
morrow he reviews the First and Second Di- |
visions of the National Guard opposite the |
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and will leave for Alba |
ny late tomorrow night.
