That WAS most loyal and hearty greeting
the Democrats OF Jersey City gave Mr. Clere.
land last might. Everything oonspired to de-
feat the elaborate plans and to dampen en-
husiasn, but. as tho Now Jersey Democracy
is not OF the fair weather kind. there were no
traces OF tho effects Of unkind fato in their
demonstration. And Mr.. Cleveland showed
plainly in tho unusual afIahility OF his smiles
and handshakos. in an unusual liberation OF
interrupting cheers. Tint no appreciated the
perfervid spirit that was behind the multi
tudes thronging about him.
A bad night OF fau weather means most
unpleasant state OF things in New York. In
Jersey City 1t means mud ankle deep. n de-
pressing and discoura9ing fog. with an OK
aspcratinc drizzle pouring through it. This
was tho way things were in Jersey City last
night. To walk on the pavements meant to
slop about in an unspealtable slush. To cross
tho street or 10 walk thero meant wading OF
the most pcstiierous Kind.
But for all this. something like $4,000 DEM
ocrats were abroad. with hearts merry and
ardent. II shouts and cheers and high out

brilliant parade. Had tho .ommittos not dis
banded this parade by prayers and implor-
ings 1t would havo marched through the
streets in numbers nnrhniinishod by tho
weather and tho consequent danger to health.
As it was. tho Onk land link was made to bear
tho burden Of all the surplus enthusiasm that
tho parnde would have directed into another
channel. Tho rink IL considerable build

night.
At 1880 o'clock tho police opened wide tho
doors and were straigntoyay swept OF their
feet. The big room was instantly full. Tho
police recovered themselves and. forming
in solid body. rushed at tho doors and Closed

rush that followed nearly thousand people
got in. The doors were again closed and were
not opened any more
The police fell to work upon the crowd In

managed to form and keep narrow asia

platform. Through this at Sl5 o'clock Mr.. |
Cleveland. Senator Mcpherson. MIR. Hnrrity.
and several members Of the Committee Of Re-

appeared upon the platform. and while Mr.
Cleveland was shaking hands with the Vice
Presidents. who. by the way. represented every
county in New Jersey. tho crowd cheered until
it was compelled to stop for breath. This re-
ception differed in many ways from those Mr..
