WELL RECEIVED
Former President Given Great
Demonstration When He APP
pears at Newark
HAS AN AUDIENCE OF 5000
Recalls and Repeats Statement He
First Made Twenty Years
Ago.

Newark. n. J.: Nov. 5.-Former
President Grover Cleveland in this city
last night delivered his second speech
of the present campaign. He waited 10
minutes for the cessation of the cheer
ing that his appearance brought forth.
and for 35 minutes after he began his
address 5000 persons crowded tOgeth-
er on the tanbark of a riding academy
alternately listened and cheered.
The occasion was the closing demo
cratic rally of the campaign, rally
under the auspices of a club of first
voters.
Friends VIII Not Revise.
Mr.. Cleyeland's argument in his
speech was that the revision of tariff
should not be left TO its friends because
in that event the tariff would not be
revised. He recalled one sentence from
a speech he made 20 years ago in New
ark when he was a candidate for the
presidency. On the occasion he said:
THE right of the government to ex-
act tribute from the citizen is limited
by it's actual necessities, and every
cent taken from the people beyond
that required for their protection by
the government is robbery"
Mr.. Cleveland said he could repeat
that sentence with equal force today.

PANAMA TREATY.

the Matter Up.

Cotton Exchange Not Likely to Take
the Matter Up.
1t is likely that a meeting of the
Board of Trade will be called to-day to
take up the Panama canal question,
and the advisability of asking the Geor-
gia senators to vote for the treaty.
President Purse is in favor of this
course.
The action of the Chamber of Com
merce in calling upon the senators
from Georgia to vote for the treaty
seemed to meet with popular approval.
Acting Mayor James M. Dixon said
that he thought the right step had
been taken. He believes the canal will
be a great thing for the South, as well
as the entire country, and he thinks
the senators from this state should
vote for the treaty without regard to
what has happened.
President ]. B. Hoist of the Cotton
Exchange said that the exchange would
not take up the matter. So fas as he
could see the action of the Chamber
of Commerce was eminently proper,
and the resolution adopted by that body
would answer all purposes. Mr.. Hoist
said he was in accord with the resolu-
ton passed by the Chamber of Com
merce.
