At the Michigan Central depot the party was
met by reception committee headed by Act

coined Mr.. Cleveland to Detroit and presented
resolutions of welcome adopted bv the common
council at a recent meeting. Then the whole
party entered carriages and, under the escort
OF run regiment OF state troops, was escorted
70 the home OF ex-Postmaster General Dick
inson, where the members -ested until the
evening.
An hour before the time set for the public
reception to Mr.. Cleveland at the Hotel Cadillac
last night the streets in the neighborhood of
tnat place were crowded for two squares in
every direction with people anxious to get a
glimpse of Mr.. Cleveland and shake his hand.
The police officers had their hands full keeping
the crowd In order, which relieved itself Of its
enthusiasm by repeated and unanimous in
quiIieS AS W Wn6t was the matter Win Cleve-
land.
Inside the hotel the scene was a brilliant one.
The immense Office club rooms and the ladies'
parior had been converted into reception
ROOM which was thronged by the flower of the
Michigan democracy, officers Of the state
troops and military officers from Fort Wayne,
long before Mr.. Cleveland appeared from the
parlors above.
Prior to the public reception a private one
was given in the presidential parlor to the more
folRl
from other states.
At o'clock the receiving party took up a
position between the ladies' parlor and the
lobby OF the hotel and the crowd, which had up
to that hour been held m check by the police,
was admitted four abreast. Fully 1900 people
shook hands with Mr.. Cleveland before IL
clock, when the doors were closed and the
receiving party withdrew to Mr.. Dickinson's
home. The reception was entirely informal
There no speaking on any bodys part
beyond individual greetings.
noticeable incident of the evening was
the presentation of Gen. Alger and Senator
Dolph. The line was broken for a few moments
while the ex-President and Gen. Alger ex-
changed courtesies amid a scene of enthusiasm.
An amusing incident and one that caused con-
siderable laughter was the vain endeavor of an
elderly lady to embrace Mr.. Cleveland.
MIR. Cleveland and party leave today for New
York.
During the day Mr. Cleveland persistently re-
fused to be interviewed on the subject of the
action OF his supporters in New York He said
ne did not propose to mix politics with
pleasure He did not deny that he and ex-
Gov. Campbell of Ohio talked politics during
their visit to Michigan.
Mr.. Dickinson thinks that his visit has made
Michigan solid for Cleveland.
