being again ordered, the vote on the
Hit amendment to give the Vene-
zuelan minister 81 800 resulted: Ayes
100; noes l3-no quorum. Seeing

Madison Square Meeting Reminded
Him of Bis Great Responsibility.
Neic York Letter to PHILADELPHIA Ledger.
Whatever may have been his real feel
ings, Grover Cleveland's face looked pain
fully sad as he stood on the platform of the
Madison Square garden last Wednesday
night and looked over the vast audience
gathered there to do him honor. Perhaps
no other man ever experienced a greater
personal triumph than he did at that time
Against all political precedent, and against
bitter personal opposition, he had been
nominated for the third time for the highest
office In the world, and there he stood in the
biggest hall Of the greatest city OF the state
which bad voted againt him at Chicago,
and, in the presence OF his enemies as well
as his friends, and, amid the plaud
its OF 10000 people, he was form
ally notified OF his nomination
to the post OF leadership. Yet
there was not the liRhtest sign Of triumph
In his face. His countenance mirrored
forth no EMULATION of soul. no pride of
victory, no JOY over the discontinue OF his
OF bis enemies He never smiled onos from
the time he entered the hall until he left it.
No Roman couqueror ever had more not
able triumph. No political leader in this
country was ever welcomed by grander
audience. Yet Grover Cleveland surveyed
tho SOohS VI Win IhS6 buhb
showed more humility than pride, more
sadness than JOY. At one time 1t seemed
as If he was really going to break down and
shed tears-this man OF iron will and
nerves of oak, who, on March 4, 1885
stood in front OF the capitol and delivered
his inaugural address without manuscript,
feat of memory never before attempted,
l believe, by any other President. What
produced this appearance Of sadness on the
face OF Mr.. Cleveland l do not know, but
certainly he seemed to regard the occasion
as a most serious affair. and with something
Of the feeling Of priest who is being con-
secrated for the holy services of bishop.
But he never lost his self-possession, and,
though he began his speech amid the shouts
Of ~, 900 people who would not stop cheer
ing for him, he repeated his speech from
memory without the change OF single
word. Reporters who held his printed
speech in their hands, aud followed him
word by word, testify TO that fact.
