Roman the nominee Of the Democratic party for
tho Vice Pres .delcy, has arrived In New-forH, ami
Ncw-York has shown amount OF Indifference to his
presence which must have been rather dscoura Ing to
local Democrats. who have been counting much on
the " Old Romans capacity to make Rome howl and
nfusc spirit and enthusiasm into the canvass in New
York.
The Democratic National Committee had charge OF
his reception. Early IN the afternoon number Of
carriages gathered outside the headquarters in
TWenty-nnth-s to convey 10 tho Dcsbrosses-st ferry

pants wctc to wait for the Old Roman on this side.
Excep for the presence Of several buec coated police
men about the station It looked much 1t does when
there IS nothing more than the ordinary run of bust
ness 10 attract attention. Jersey City didn't mani
fest much curiosity to catch glimpse Of tho " Old
Roman Mayor Cleveland there to greet him on
behalf Of jersey CITY. Of whose Inhabitants seemed
quite content TO welcome him by proxy.
There were not more than few hundred people
alto 9cthcr estimating both those inside and outside
tho station. who had come to see the hero OF the
I'd bandanna. Tho Atlantic express train arrived
Just minute before o'clock The reception COM
mittcc boarded the special at tho rear Of the
train, and In a minute thereafter Judge Thurman
appeared arm In arm with Mr. Barnum. The
ancient Roman seemed fatigued, he doubtless
