After having partaken Of liquid re-
freshments the assemblage was called
to order by Colonel Cary, who in few
happy and well-timed remarks extend
ed the New Jersey Democrats most
hearty welcome. He paid the visitors
high tribute for their steadfastness to
the Democratic party, and referred
feelingly to the bloody battles OF the
late war, when those who now meet as
friends met as foes. After closing his
eloquent address with fitting poetic
quotation, Colonel Cary drank to the

Three cheers we're then sent up with
a vim for the Joel battery.
THE RESPONSE.
Mr.. Samuel Klotz, collector Of inter-
nal revenue for the Fifth district of New
jersey, responded to the address OF
welcome in behalf OF his Association.
He said New Jersey would strike hands
with Virginia over the success of the
Democracy, and "may God bless our
united country" He said it afforded
them pleasure to attend the inauguration
of one of Virginia's grandest sons as
the chief magistrate Of the Common
wealth. He said that Cleveland, who
was on the 4th Of March last inaugurated
as President of the United States,
is a grand Democrat and the man for
the place so is Fitzhugh Lee for the
Governor of Virginia. Three rousiDg
cheers were sent up for both the Joel
Parker Association and the Richmond
City Committee. Colonel Cary said as
the time for Lees Inauguration was
near at hand they would proceed to it
and partake of their collation. later.
Accordingly they marched to the hall
of the House Of Delegates, where
the Inauguration took place. After
the Inauguration they returned to
Murphy's, where they had an abun'
dance both to eat and drink.
There was a merry flow Of soul,
an abundance Of good things, and a
most enjoyable time was had. Short
and spirited speeches were made by
Messrs. Robert Stiles, L. I. Fell, John
E. Massey, Samuel Klotz, and Speaker
Stuart. About 2 o'clock the party
proceeded to the Exchange Hotel, where
they took dinner. They spent the af-
ternoon in strolling and driving around
the city sightseeing, and at night went
to the inaugural bail. The visitors
express themselves as much pleased
with our city and the manner in which
they spent the day yesterday.
