Grover Cleveland Has Not Lost
His Grin

DETROIT. Mich, Feb. 2S.-Mr. Cleye-
lands special train arrived back from
Toledo at o'clock this Afternoon. Gov.
Winans and staff, Acting Mayor Coots
and the council were present to officially
receive the distinguished guest. The
Fourth regiment was drawn up in front
of the station. Acting Mayor Coots, in
short address, presented Mr.. Cleve-
land with acknowledgement set
OF resolutions unanimously adopted by
the common council, together with the
freedom of the city. Mr.. Cleveland re-
sponded in a few sentences.
Gov. WlnanS and Mayor Coots then
escorted Mr.. Cleveland to a carriage,
and were driven to Hon. Don NJ. Dick
inson's residence, the other members
of the party following in regular order,
the Fourth regiment furnishing a
guard of honor. Arriving at their
destination, Mr.. Cleveland withdrew
to his room. and the other members of
the party dispersed themselves around
the city. Shortly before 5 o'clock
crowds began to gather in the vicinity
of the Hotel Cadillac, where the public
reception to Mr.. Cleveland was held.
By 1880 some 1000 people were massed
in the streets around the Cadillac.
The reception began at 7:45. Gov.
Winans and stag being the first to pass
before the receiving party. The city
officials followed; then came the COM
mitteeS having the reception in charge,
and prominent citizens and guests to
the number of 1000. The general pub
lie was then admitted, and passed in
a constant stream to greet the
eX-president until 1890 p. m. Mr..
Cleveland cordially grasped the hand of
each, and at the close of the reception it
was estimated that at least $1,000 people
had passed before him. A noticeable
incident of the evening was the pres
entation of Gen. Alger and SEN
ator Dolph. The line was broken
for few moments while the ex-
president and Gen. Alger exchanged
courtesies amid a scene of great en-
thusiaSm. An amusing incident, and
one that caused considerable laughter,
was the vain endeavor of an elderly
lady to embrace Mr.. Cleveland. Mr..
Cleveland and party leave tomorrow
morning over the Michigan Central for
New York.

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 23.-The excite
ment over the Mesaba mining stocks in
this city is increasing daily. An i'm
mense crowd blocked the sidewalks in
front of the Palladio building all day
long today, and this evening the lobby
of the Spaulding was so crowded that it
was almost impossible to force pass
age way. People have begun to trade
off their real estate, some of which is
paying handsome interest, for mining
stocks. The old GOgebic miEes are
wildly recalled and the curbstone
broker is in his element. The rush for
stock while it is way down is not con-
fined to big men, the small fry being
also anxious to bay while they can.
StOrekeepers, clerks, laboring men, in
fact every kind and class are madly
rushing about collecting little money
to invest. The trading today was
confined mostly to Cincinnati,
MeSaba Mountain and Shaw. The
first-named started this morning at 20
cents and mounted rapidly to &c, then
dropped to 25, and staid right there. 1t
will probably go higher tomorrow.
Meanwhile dealers were quietly going
about gathering in Shaw stock, which
fact created demand, and up it went
from Is to Is cents. Mesaba Mountain
went up from il to Is cents. Each
company takes its time at the whirl. 1t
is estimated that at least 100000 of out
side capital has been shipped in here
and is invested in iron. but it is not a
drop in the bucket compared to what is
in store. 1t was rumored here to night
that several Eastern millionaires were
on their way to Duluth. The prospects
are that during the next three weeks

New York, Feb. 2S.-Nearly all the
members of the anti-snap convention
committee of fifty returned from Albany
last night. This morning they were in
cheerful mood. The leaders are con.
fident that the proposed state convention
at Syracuse Oh May 81 will be recOg-
nized as the real Democratic conven-
ton and that its delegates will be adj
mitted to the national convention. In
few weeks the provisional state commit
tee will develop into full state COM
mlttee, and all the regular Democratic
procedure will be followed in the ar
rangements for the convention. Ex-
Mayor William Il. Grace, who
protested before the state commit
tee yesterday against the holding
of the convention in midwinter, is en-
thusiastic over the work of the commit
tee of fifty and its allies at Albany. He
said today: Il knew before l went to
Albany there was widespread oppoSi-
ton to the snap methods of the state
committee, but had no idea of the eX-
tent of the opposition until had met
representative Democrats from all parts
of the state. l am now convinced that
our state convention will be more truly
representative of the Democrats of the
state than the snap convention of yes
terday was. 1t appears to us that no
national convention could possibly re-
fuse to admit men who are sent there
by Democratic convention called at
the request OF Democrats of the state,
and showing the numerical strength
which our enrolment will develop"
Credited to Tammany.
An evening paper says: In private
conversation the Tammany men them
selves express doubt that Hill will be
nominated at Chicago, and they no
longer deride the anti-snap convention
movement. They admit that the May
convention, which will be held IN SYRIA
cuse, will be great gathering. and that
its determined attitude will brighten
the delegates to the national conven-
ton. The general sentiment of the
TammaDy men seemed to be embodied
in this sentence: while Hill is the
choice of our convention, doubt if he
will be nominated. We are willing to
win with Hill, but we are not prepared
TO go down with him.
alt won't do to sneer at this move
ment," said a prominent Tammany of
fcer. THAT convention at Syracuse
will be big affair. The kickerS have
plenty of time to make it such, and from
the activity they have already exhibited
there is every reason to believe they
will get together big crowd. The only
thing now is to play politics so as to
circumvent them and, as tar as possible,
neutraliZe the bad effect of their con-
Vention."

their former condition. The petition is

would have no weight with him. The
