neither wind, rain nor muddy
streets. Their white plug hats, the
symbol of the club, were unprotect-
ed by umbrellas. Tho committee

Gus. They were willing that the
phalanx men should trudge through
the mud, but they preferred riding
behind in carriages. A crowd fol-
lowed with umbrellas overhead.

committee were ushered into the
west parlor. No attempt at decora-
tion had been made. All there was
beyond the ordinary appointments
was n bank Of choice flowers on the
mantlepiece. The gloomy day rem
dered it necessary to light the chan-
delier and side brackets. The pars
lor was uncomfsrtably crowded. At

ladies of the household, Mrs. Hoyt
and Miss Cleveland, the Governors
sisters; the Misses Hastings, his
nieces; Mrs. Falsom, wife of his
former law partner, and daughter,
and Mrs. Hament, wife Of the Gov
srnsr's Secretary. All were hand
somely attired. Among the throng
OF statesmen were Samuel J. Ran
dali, Gov. Waller, of Connecticut
Senator Ransom, of North Carolina;
Hon. Perry Belmont; Senator JO-
mas, of Louisiana; b. b. Smalley, of
Vermont; Senator Murphy, of New
York; 5. Corning Judd, of Illinois

cOnsin, and others. While the com
mittee awaited the Governors APP
pearance the bands outside played
patriotic airs. Gov. Cleveland came
into the room at 4 o'clock. He was
dressed as usual In a black froclI
coat, with high standing white col
lar and broad black neck tie. He
stood with his back 10 the mantle,
piece, facing his visitors. No pre-
iiminary fuss was made. Mr.. VIM.

pace or two in advance of his fol-
lowers and read the following:
