NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The reception at
the Imperial Hotel tonight given TO ex-
President Cleveland by the Buffalonian
Club was attended by about 200 persons,
consisting OF members of the club and
lew invited guests. Cleveland's arrival
was the occasion of applause, and all
those present remained standing until
the speeches of the evening, which lasted
almost an hour, were over. After a brief
preliminary speech, calling the meeting
to order, the guest of the evening was in
troduced as one whose name created en-
thusiasn even when mentioned in d Re-
publican meeting.
Mr.. Cleveland spoke in pleasant vein
about his early days in Buffalo, and his
friends of that time, whom he now found
among the members of this club. I'm the
atmosphere OF personal friendliness that
pervades this occasion" he said. ~ nearly
forgot that the organization has political
plans and purposes" He was glad. how
ever when these plans and purposes
recur To his mind; they merely
add to his grateful appreciation OF their
personal kindness. therefore" said he,
while my heart is full of gratitude to
the friends l see about me, l cannot for
bear the suggestion of my belief that
your organization not only demonstrates
your personal friendship for an old
townsman, but also indicates that you
"ro fully alive to your otutY as good citi-
zens.
You know how devoted l am to the
principles of the Democratic party, and
your knowledge of me viii, / am sure.
acqpit me of insincerity when | 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 ever been engaged
On one side the claim is defiantly and
arrogantly announced that the functions
of our Government may be used directly
ior the benefit of certain special interests,
with at best very remote regard to the
welfare of the masses of the people,
In opposition to this, an appeal is
made to our tellow-citiZens to hold fast to
the doctrine that their Government
should, at all times, be administered di-
rectly for them, and that they should not
be obliged to receive as their share of the
blessings of the free Government thev
maintain the small portion which NAV
filter through to them in the process of
making special beneficiaries rich. In
other words, the Democratic party is in
sisting upon an honest application of the
rule that a Government by the Deonle
should be Government for the people.
1T is as needless as it is foreign to NV
purpose to discuss in detail before those
so thoughtful and intelligent as nv Ruf-
falo friends the differences between the
political principles and purposes pre-
sented to our people for their approval. |
only desire to assure that the qualification
your personal attachment affords is
greatly enhanced by consciousness that
il is an attachment of those who are
thoughtful and patriotic, and by the con-
Victlon that the support you give in an
organized 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 the
highest duty as American citizens. 1t
only remains for me to say that whatever
the result of the campaign, l shall ALWAYS
remember as its most pleasing incident
this occasion, and the evidence it fur
nishes me of the consideration and devo-
ton of my Buffalo friends"
Cleveland was followed by Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan, who spoke of the GER
talnty of New York's going for the
democratic nominees.
Then Mayor Bishop of Buffalo made
few remarks, and the rest of the evening
was spent IN conversation and hand
shaking.
