THE DEMONSTRATION.
ALBANY, July 29.-The rain which
had ceased at noon set in again about
two o'clock. Despite the weather,
Pearl street and Broadway were lined
with people Standing under the shelter
of umbrellas. About the headquarters
of the phalanx on State street the
crowd was greatest. At little before
three o'clock the phalanx formed on
State street, 120 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 Delevan house where
the tlrong was so great that the
streets and side Talks were almost im
passable. Here, carriages to the nun-
Der of forty were provided for the dis
tinguished gentlemen composing the
committee. At about 1885 headed by
the band the phaIax marched up
Broadway followed by the committee
in carriages. The procession turned
up Clinton avenue and into North
Pearl street to Hudson avenue. Madi-
son avenue to Eagle street to the gov
ernor's residence which was reached
about four o'clock.
An immense concourse of people
assembled about the executive man-
sion, and police were stationed about
to prevent injurious trespass upon
the grounds surrounding the resi-
dence. The guests were prompt In
arriving, and when the members of
! the two committees were provided
| for there was very little extra space.
The ceremony took place in the large,
handsome mann parlor of the man,
sion. The only attempt at adornment
was seen IN the huge banks
of flowers which rested upon
the mantels of the parlor and
library. The ceremony was brief but
exceedingly impressive. The arrival
of the committee IN a body was the
signal for concentration in the main
parlor. There the committee of no

space was reserved in the centre.

were completed the governor en-
tered through the main hallway,
standing with his back to the Ii 'Eer
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 sPon-
taneous outsurst of hand clapping.
| which continued fer several minutes.
