GOVERNOR ABBETT's sFEECH.
When the former part of the reception
was over Vice President George A.
Heaney introduced Governor elect
Albeit, who said
"My Democratic friends, for tonight
must beg the pardon of my Republican
friends, whom / see here, in the last cam
paign / received majority which was
phenomenal, even in New Jersey, which
was always staunch to the democracy.
"The victory was not as absolute AS we
could wish, for we want that other sena-
tor and we will have him next year.
With Democratic Governor however,
and Democratic House, promise you
the pledges of the Democratic party made
in the last campaign shall be redeemed.
If we have to wait a year for the senate
we will wait like good Christians.
although the Democratic party was
defeated at the last Presidential election
by means not necessary for me to men
ton here, it will fight for those principles
which it upheld in 1888 until the victory
is achieved
The Governor then congratulated the
club upon it's organization and said that,
although it was but two weeks old, it is
very healthy infant and would go on
gathering in Republicans and Democrats
alike.
Governor Green was next introduced
and said that nothing gave him more
pleasure during the campain than the
receipt of the clubs invitation in honor
of Governor elect Albeit. He said he
had no misgivings during the last cam
paign, as it was only a question of what
hudson could do.
He congratulates the club upon its sue
cess and returns his thanks to Democrats
of Hudson for what they did for him
three years ago.
EX-Gov. BEDLE's SPEECH.
Ex-Governor Bedle created much mer-
riment by his speech.
He said, in speaking of Governor ABB
belts majority:-sI don't know but that
l am ahead of him on majority, but on
plurality have gone under; but the re-
ceiving of that vote has been very com
forting to me, and | don't believe | will
ever have the pleasure of beating it,
(G<eat laughter.) Governor Albeit and
had long been neighbors. Only one
house divided us for number of years.
''Some time ago felt that was driven
out of that neighborhood and moved up
town. Governor Albeit had more cour-
age than l and stayed there. But now he
at last is about to move i'll my neighbor-
hood again. No one will welcome him
more cheerfully than l. We don't always
agree, but whatever differences we may
have will be i'll the kindest spirit"
The Ex-Governor paid warm tribute
to the national platform of 1885, and pre-
dicted that tariff reform would be the
great issue of the next campaign.
Ex- Governor Price spoke next and
made sound democratic speech.

autograph letter from ex-President Cleve-
