by tho BuTnlo Club at Now York-Ho
Makes spoecll.
NEW York, Oct. 2G.-The reception at
the Imperial Hotel tonight, given to
ex-President Cleveland by the Bufia.
lonians' Cleveland Club, was attended
by about two hundred persons, con-
sisting OF members of the club and
few invited guests. Mr.. Cleveland's ar.
rival was the occasion OF great applause.
After brief preliminary speech calling
the meeting TO order the guest OF the
evening was introduced as one whose
name created enthusiasm when men,
toned in n Republican meeting, Mr..
Cleveland spoke as follows:
81 hope it is not necessary for me to
tell you how much enjoy being with
you tonight, and how exceedingly graf
flying is every reflection suggested by
this occasion. While my heart is full
OF gratitude to the friends see about
mo, cannot forbear the suggestion OF
my belief that your organization not
only demonstrates your personal friend
ship for an old townsman, but it also
indicates that you are fully alive to
your duty as good citizens. You know
how devoted am to the principles oil
the Democratic party, and your knowl-
edge OF me will, ] am sure, acqult me
me of insincerity whom express
the opinion that the result OF
the pending political struggle
means more to our country and
our people than any in which you or /
have been engaged. One one side the
claim is detiantly and arrogantly an
nounced that the functions of our gov
ernment may be used directly for the
benefit OF certain special interests with
at best very remote regard to the vel
fare OF the masses OF the people, In
opposition to this, an appeal is made to
our fellow citizens to hold fast to the
doctrine that their government should
at all times be administered directly for
them, and that they should not be
obliged to receive as their share OF
blessings OF the free government they
maintain the small portion which may.
filter through TO them in the process OF
making special benefciaries rich.
Ionly desire to assure you that the
qualification which your personal at
tachment affords is greatly enhanced
by the consciousness that it is the at
tachment OF those who are thoughtful
and patriotic, and by the conviction
that the support you give in an organ
lied way to your old townsman cannot
create in your minds the least suspicion
that such support is in aid OF principles
at all inconsistent with your highest
duty rs American citizens"

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. GA cold
north wind set in last night stripping
the fine old trees in the grounds sur
rounding the executive mansion OF
much Of their foliage, and this morning
the aspect of nature is bare and dreary.
There has been no official recognition
BY the executive branch Of the govern
ment of Mrs. Harrison's death, and
there will be none except display at
half mast OF flags on government build
ings. The department opens tomorrow
the day of the funerai-the same as
other days and by wishes OF the family,
the business OF government will run as
though the country had not lost the
wife OF its most distinguished cxecu-
tive.
The body OF Mrs. Harrison has been
laid out in the room in which she died
and this afternoon it will be placed in
the room whore she will repose. She
shows in her face the effects OF the long
wasting ilness OF eight months that re-
duced her large matronly figure to a
thin frail form. But her face in death
has the same kindly expression that it
had in life. The body will be placed in
the casket during the afternoon and
quietly removed to the. east room at
later hour to await the funeral services.
The arrangements for these services
are in general way complete, though
details remain yet to be fixed. The
President is more composed to-day than
he was Yesterday. He is reasonably
calm, though deeply grief-stricken. Pri-
vate Secretary Halford consulted him
for short time during the morning
about the details OF the arrangements
here and in Indianapolis and the Presi-
dent made suggestions with reference
to them.
The party which will go to Indian
apolis on the funeral train tomorrow
will, be composed OF the follow
ing persons: President Harrison,
Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Harrison,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Mckee, DR.. Scott,
Mrs. Dimmick, Lieutenant and Mrs.
Parker, Mr., Findlay, OF Baltimore,
cousin OF the presidents; Vice
President Morton, Secretary OF State
and Mrs. Foster, Mrs. S, b.
Elkins, Attorney General and Mrs.
Miller, Postmaster General Wanamaker,
Mrs. Wilmerding, Secretary Noble, Sec
retary and Mrs. Rusk, Private Secretary
Haliord, Col. o. Ii. Ernst, Mrs. r. G.
Parker, Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Boyd,
OF Philadelphia, and Miss Sanger.

The manly course for Senator Faulkner
would have been a frank admission
that he was in the scheme from the be-
ginning. Ho might plead eXtenuating
circumstances. He might, by judicious
management, even make it appear that
he was victim himself rather than the
chief conspirator, but unfortunately
for him he has not taken advantage OF
his golden opportunity. Like 4 little
school boy, he feels that an admission
means a whipping, and that by denial
he may possibly get out OF it, although
his chance is a slim one. But SO far he
has not made II square denial. lie

PGTTsBuRGH, Pa, Oct. 26,-Hon,
Thomas b. Reed addressed the largest
Republican meeting OF the campaign
this evening at Old City Hall. Long
before. z o'clock tho hall, which has a
capacity OF 5000, was crowded to the
doors, and hundreds were unable TO
gain admittance.
Hon. d. B. Oliver, OF Allegheny, pre-
sided and introduced the eS-speGker,
who was enthusiastically received. Mr..
Reed in part said: "It is absolutely
essential to the existence OF the Re-
publican party that within certain linn
its we shall train together. You cannot
10 anything with divided party. Now
the Democratic party is under no such
obligations. In the history OF
the world they are not called
upon to do anything. Their
position is simply one ot negation; they
are not Democrats on account OF any
principle that runs through the party
from Maine to Texas, lshould like to
hear Democratic orator start in Maine
and wind up in Texas with the same
speech that he made there. Why when
he got through with it he would not be
even a ghost. Their platform is an
nounced by their aDlest men, OF course,
the one that they have submerged. is
~ am Democrat" Speaking OIL the
tariff he said:
"Prqtection is not panacea; 1t is not
the milleneum: it Is not patent medl-
cine; it will not cure all the ills OF
humane nature butt is one Of the great
powers OF tho world, being the tnven-
ton of universal human nature. Ii
free trade be sound, Grover Clovelaud's
first proclamation was sound one, and
he said that under projection
every article that was imported
paid q tariff tax into tho United States
treasury and every article that was
made under protection in the country
paid like sum, but not into the treas
ury, but into the pockets OF the manu-.
facturer. Now, il free trade is true that
is true. Whatever is paid that way is
wasted. There is no reason why we
should enrich the manufacturer ut the
expense OF the country. There is no
reason why we should pay higher prices
for thlngs unless We can find our ad-
vautages,
"The Democratic party does not know
exactly where It stands on this subject.
| will admit that their platform says
they are free traders, but their caudi-
date does not dare to own up. There
is one thing they can certainly do, they
can create uncertainty, and uncertainty
means business paralysis. In other
words, uncertainty means hard times
certainty means good times.
"Now, my friends, when ] see your
vote next November shall know
whether YOU are up to the lovel OF the
common sense OF this world or not. II
you arc up to it, you will give a good
Republican majority, and, il you are
not, you will pay the piper"

PHLADELPnIA, Oct 2G.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew spoke here this evening at the
Academy OF Music under the auspices
OF the Union League club to an audi
ence that taxed the building to its
greatest capacity. His speech kept his
audience in happy mood throughout
Among other things, he said:
listened to The ablest Republican
speech ever heard delivered, by
Henry Watterson, OF Kentucky, in Chi
cago last week. Watterson is the ablest,
Democrat in the country to-day, and
introduced the free trade plank IN the
Chicago platform. Yet Watterson, in
the glowing oratory OF the fervid south,
described tho phenomenal growth and
prosperity OF the country since the
civil war.
"My friend Mr.. Macyeagh, who we
all greatly admire and love, has recent
" become a convert. When my friend
MacVeagh calls upon me to vote against
Harrison l say. Mac, old boy, what's
the reason? Why should we change
our policy? and Mr.. MacVeagh replies,
Because Patrick Egan went to Chile
II met Patrick the other night Mac.
Yeagh might have captured me il l had
not met Patrick. | dined with him,
rode to the station and talked to him.
then came 10 the conclusion that If l
was President OF the United States
would send Egan back to Chile or pro.
mote him to 4 better place.
Then there is my old friend Carl
Schurz. There is no man living who
can use better English, more to tho
point and more epigramatic than
Schurz. 1t took him thirteen columns
Of the Erening Poa to tell nineteen Mug
wump gentlemen in Brooklyn why they
should vote for Cleveland.
"He then instituted a comparison
between Mr.. Reid's past record on ma
tional questions and that OF Mr.. Steven
sons and declared that Mr.. Reid was
the safest man of the two to elect.
Continuing Mr.. Depew said: 81 have
nothing against my friend Mr.. Cleve-
land. We Judge him by his declara-
ton OF what he intends to do il he ia
elected President and what if he has
Democratic house and senate to help
him. Any ono who knows Mr.. Cleve-
land knows that he would carry out his
convictions. The speaker closed in
glowing terms Of Benjamin Harrison's
administration, and in tou ching mani
ner over his sad bereavement.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The armory of the
first infantry was packed to the doors
tonight by an enthusiastic crowd to
hear the speech OF ext Gov. ]. B. Foraker.
"Ihe confederate states OF America"
declared the speaker, announced that
protection was unconstitutional, but
the boys in blue got after that opinion
and they shot hole through it and it
sleeps the sleep OF everlasting DEATH"
He then scored the money plank in
the Democratic platform and declared
it was the Republican party's system
OF finance which had placed the country's
currencyona solid foundation, which the
Democratic principle OF wild cat banks
would surely undermine. He then
bestowed some attention upon the war
record of Grover Cleveland and closed
amid much applause.

Of the leisure class will prefer to visit
the country when no fair is being held.
He says: at is certain, however, that
at the present moment America is the
most prosperous country in the world,
despite our assertions that protection is
ruinous. Ii l had been an American
