but in all his successes, he cannot fail to
| Pittsburg friends.
Mr.. Pattison, after the reception at the
Randall Club House yesterday morning,
was driven to the Duquesne Club, where he
was banqueted by friends. At 3 o'clock,
after holding an informal reception at the
club house, he was driven to Silver Lake
Grove In the carriage, which was drawn
by four white horses, gaily bedecked with
plumes, sat Mr.. Pattison, with Thomas
Marshall, the well-known attorney, F. j.
Weixel, President of the club, and ex-Post-
master John B. Larkin. Following in an
other carriage, also drawn by four horses,
were ex-Collector D. o. Barr, Pension Agent
W. H. Barclay, j. Pressly Fleming and M.
+. Ryan, a well-known Philadelphia attor-
ney and the man who seconded Mr.. Pat
tison's nomination. The third carriage was
occupied by Secretary John j. McCaffrey,
ex-United States Marshal Miller, Colonel J.
B. r. Streator and J. E. McCrickert.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION.
Upon arriving at the grove the carriages
drew up in front ofthe dancing pavilion and
the occupants disembarked, while the Great
Western Band played "Hail to the Chief"
As soon as the Ex-Governor put his boot on
the ground John L. Sullivan, the same
of the Ninth ward, Allegheny-proposed
three cheers for hiud, and they were given
with will and tiger. Then the doughty
Democrat proposed three for "Glorious Old
Tom," and the echoes reverberated through
the woods. The Ex-Governor was escorted
to the stage, where he held levee and
"hand shake" He was fanked on the left
by President Weixel, T. J. O'Leary, Steve
Foley. Colonel Frank I. Rutledge, Colonel
j. B. 4. Streator, of Washington, Pa, and
others, who introduced the people.
The latter marched on to the stage from
the left and past Mr.. Pattison, who gave
each person a hearty grip. The hand
shaking continued for fully half an hour,
and although Gernert's Orchestra played its
sweetest strains it could not get a dozen
couples on the floor to keep time to
the music. Every man, woman and
child wanted to shake hands
with Mr.. Pattison, and among them
was an old citizen, apparently from the
country, and who claimed to be over 80
years of age. He had a grip like wise,
and Mr.. Pattison was not bit sorry when
his hand was dropped. Women and chill
dren also crowded up and wrung him by the
hand with q fervid exclamation of success in
his canvass for Governor. He thanked
them all for their wishes. and got out of the
clamoring crowd as soon as he could con-
Veniently do so.
A sANGUINE CANDIDATE.
A reporter of THE DISPATCH, after get
ting his clamps fastened on the Ex-Governor,
tried to interview him on the outlook. Mr.
Pattison was evidently not here to talk, and
refused to discuss politics. He said:
81 am here at the solicitation OF nv
friends in the Randall Club, and as the
affair is of a social and not a political
nature, it is out OF place to discuss politics
here. The people of Pittsburg know as
much about the Gubernatorial situation as 1
do. OF course l am going to do everything
In my power to carry the ticket through in
November, and if 1 do not succeed, it will
not be my fault. 1 do not care
to say anything about the large vote
l got before, as it would seem egotistical on
my part. The same vote, think, will
get. aud there is no reason why should not
be elected. The conditions are the same
low as then regarding the Republican
party, while the Democratic party is united
more firmly than it ever was before. The
truth of the latter statement is known to
everybody, and why shouldn't we win? On
the other hand, we know the disaffections
that exist among our Republican friends,
and the Democratic ticker will get their
votes in consequence. / have all the re-
spect in the world for my opponent, Mr..
Delamater, but he has too many things to
contend against to lead his ticket to sue
cess"
COULD STAY NO LONGER.
1t was almost impossible to talk to Mr..
Pattison for 80 seconds at time on account
of the great number of people who wanted |
to shake hands with him. After wearying |
