Grand Parade of Premium StockA Large Attend ance and A Fine Day's Sport. Yesterday, the fourth and list day of the fair, was probably the most enjoyable of any of the four days. The weather was as fine as could bo desired, and there was a good at tendance. The crowd did not get to the grounds as early as on the previous day, and for a time it looked as if there would be a slim attendance, but when the three coaches of the St Louis, Fort Scott & Wichita rail way came over loaded with the teachers and school children, the crowd began to swell, and at noon there were about eight thousand people on ihe grounds. In rambling about among the exhibits our attention was attracted by the large crowd in Hall Ko. 2 admiring the magnUcent dis play of upholstered furniture, cane bot tomed chairs and bedroom furniture, of the great Kansas furniture house of Moffitt & llartzcll, 128 Douglas avenue. No finer spocimens of sofas, ottomans and easy chairs can be found west of the Mississippi The assortment of fino mahogeny and rosewood bedsteads, and marblo-toped bureaus were greatly admired and was the great centre of attraction in that hall. The display amply attests the wonderftil enterprise displayed by this firm tince they began business in this city. Promptly at 10 a. m., according to the programme published in the Morki.no Ka cji.k, the tmradn of premium stock was or dered upon tho track. It was a splendid sight and a good indication of the future of the stock interest in Southwestern Kansao. The grand stand was filled by an admiring crowd and praise was freely bestowed on the fino thoroughbreds and pedigreed cattle wearing tho blue and red ribbons as they filed by. THE BABT BHOW. Tho next thing on tho programme was the baby show, and when it was called, six ad miring mothers stepped forward bearing the little beauties in their arms. The premium for tho handsomest baby under 18 months, was awarded to Mrs. It. K. Guthrie's baby "Ada," and the premium for tho handsomest under 12 months, to Mr. Christian Soger's baby "Mable." UMK.1 KquasTBiANHinr. Tho contest for premiums in this class took place at 11 a. m. There were firo en tries Mrs. J. J. Jackson, Mrs. Eastcy, Liz zie Guest, Ida Wilson and Miss L.R. Baugh man. Mrs. Eastey got away with the first and Ida Wilson with the second premium. The first and second premiums for best single horse in harness were given to J. L.

Standard Bearer took tho polcand led off but soon broke and was pawed by Fred Douglas. They came to the halt milo neck and neck, but Stand ard Bearer cot left on tho next quarter, and Fred Douglas won tho heat by five lengths.

Pacing race, mile heats, best three in five There wcro only two entries, John Camp bell's Hoosicr Bill and G. a Smith's Black Fly. This was a very leisurely race, the horses evidently not much excited. Hoosier Bill won easily in three straight heats. Next canto a foot race between John llo gan and G. W. Hamilton. The latter won. Tho next event was the pony running race, half-mile, single dash. There were eight entries, and at the word go they dashed ahead and before they reached tho quarter pole one flew the track and made a break for the timber. It was a funny raeo and elicited more mirth than anything in the day's sport. When the first pony came under the wire others were strung back along tho track nearly to the quarter. A. L. Brown's Maud won the race, Mr. F. Fout's Ncllit) second; time 0:68. The bicycle race came off next. The en tries were J. Hendlcy, Harry West, Leutz Smith, W. Bhode, Per cy Sowers. Harvey West came in first, J. Hendly second, W.Rhode third, Tercy Sowers fourth and Lentz Smith fifth. Time, 1:69. Free for all running race, mile heats, btt three in five. The enUies were Dan Hoo er's Nathan Oaks, L. C Ball' Bee's Wing and J. IL Brewer's Hibernia. This was by far the most closely contested race of the day. At no time during the three heats was thero more than a length's differ ence between the horses. Thero was lively betting for a while but it was soon apparent that Bee's Wing would be the winner except in case of some mishap. Twenty dollars to five was offered on the little sorrel with few takers. Bess Wing won in three straight heats. This ended a day of real pleasure and all were well satisfied.

To Ike Editor of tht Daily Eagle: This usually quiet little village has been somewhat excited to-day over a little affray which occurred last night. Last evening several men, who it is supposed were some what under the influence of liquor, were dis cussing some important subject and the de bate ended in a quarrel which resulted in Mr. Henry Grosh stabbing Ed. McCaskcy with a pocket knife, inflicting an ugly flesh wound which, though pretty deep, is not considered dangerous. Mr. Grosh at once gave himself up to the constable, and ap peared to-day before Justice Minich, who bound him over to the district court, he giv ing the proper bonds. Derby is just now enjoying a greater growth than for some time past. John Brunton, an old resident of this vicinity, has lately built an elevator for the accommoda tion of wheat shippers, two firms being rep resented here, Bnrwiso fc Laws, with Col. W. D. Henderson as their active man, and J. G. Miltner, of Wichita, who is represent ed by Wm. Wichman. Both gentlemen re report large shipments during the last year. A number ofnow houses have recently been completed. P. O. Rudolph,agcnt for the railroad company is putting up a costly and vcey fine residence. Al Minich has a large new store 24x80, nearly done and expects to move his stock of dry goods and groceries in it in a few weeks. Messrs. Ward and Butt's who also havo a largo stock of groceries as well as a lumber yard have recently added thirty feet to their store. Jr. Foster aud II. M. Culter hae joined fortunes and built a very neat store, which they have filled with fresh drugs. B. M. Culter has recently put up n new building and opened an implement houo and is preparing to start a meat market. The Odd Fellows hao a beautiful build ing the lower story to be used by J. F. Humphreys with his stock of hardware. Mr. Chas. Nachtricb has lately moved here from Ohio, and bought the Central hotel and is building a large addition to it. And so I might go on telling of numbers of new comers and how they arc helping the little town, but I must not forget the "old settlers," the pioneers who liavo endured the hardships, drouth and grasshoppers and discouragement, but have long since found their labor crowned with success and have entered on an era of properitv. Prominent among those are Minich and Dr. Tucker. The former I have already niontioncd. Tho doctor I mot in his handsome drug store with a look of perfect content on his face which spoko well for his Kansas home. IL H. Harris has a neat store filled with groceries, and a harness shop back of which is a stovp shop and a lawyer's office, the latter place being tho "don" of Judge S. W. McCoy. The hardware business is repre sented by Mr. E. W. Waters, and John Hays shoes horses and makes wagons. Thero are a number of carpenters and plas terers, a lime and coal house and a furniture store. A neat school Iioumj filled with a portion of the rising generation keeps busy. I must not forget that Derby has a livery and sale stable, an important item in a coun try town. A great deal of stock hogs Bud cattle as well as produce and grain, is shipped from this point, Messrs. Glason & Flesh man and Mr. Laws being engaged in buy ing and shipping stock. Mr. Lew Ranee and Miss Rief are teaching tho historic idea which way to shoot. The Presbyterian pcoplo havo a church which would be an ornament to a largor town than this. The Evangelical As sociation havo no building.but are at work on a very comfortable parsonage. Tho Bap tists also havo a society, and the Catholic? have a good building in wliich services arc conducted by Father Kelly, of Wichita. The town company, now composed of the railroad company, G. IL Herring of Wichi ta, and the hoirs of the late J. Hout Minich, aro selling a great many lots this year and the prospects are encouraging for a lively and enterprising town. Derby has no mill. I don't sec why every littlo town in Kansas this great State with its numberless wheat fields should not have a good flouring mill. Tho time will certainly como when they will have them. This place offers unusual ad vantages for a good one, a territory of two of the largest townships in tho county being tributary to it Raij-ii. STUMPINQ IT BY MOONLIGHT. To lit Editor of the Daily I'agU: Away bark in my early school dajs I re member reading in Sanders' second reader a quiet littlo lesson all about n gentle and very useful old cat named Tab, and a strict home-guarding, (also t cry ucful) old dog named Tray. Tab and Tray were tho best of friends about and in the house, o en lap ping their milk from the samo dish in peace and harmony; but if Tab dared to go to the bam in search of mice or tako a pleasant ant ramble over the green fields, Tray would rush after her barking and growling in a dangerous manner, and drive the old cat to tho house. Tray thought Tabby was "out of her place." " Tabby Gougaf ventured from home and was laying her paws rather incautiously in the muddy pool of politics, when "Bow-wow!" camo Tray Murdock furiously after her. "She was out of her nlace." Now. Mr. Editor, will ou define what vou mean bv sa vine "a woman out of her place." I throw down the gauntlet to you on this subject, and warn jou to think well and deeply before you assign woman to any one particular sphere or limited place- in this busy age ot the worm s progress. Respectfullv, Mkb. M. E. Leakk. Wichita, Oct3. All right, Mrs. L. Don't worry as to our taking up any woman's gnunlct. Wc put in one J car writing on that subject and wc fear no woman lhing, in that direction, or man either, for our light U as vhid touching that matter, as that wliich struck down Saul in tho highway and as satisfactor ily convincing. You ak us to define what we mean by woman "out of place" My dear, Madame, just exactly what we said. Wo hope you did not understand us to say that had Mrs. Gougar Ikmmi at home instead of on the street corner at nine o'clock har ranguing a mixed crowd thnt would hac been "out of her place:" As to tho other point, no woman or man either for that mat ter, need feol any apprehension a.- to how they will como out in a disctivsson with the editor of the Eagle through the columns of his own paper, for they will never have a chance. Nothing so disgusts the average reader, or tires so soon, as a personal discus sion through tho columns of a newspaper. Therefore, so far as we are concerned, Tab by may spend all her time, moonlight nights included, in the barn, in the field, or on tho back shed. We shall only reserve our right when we find her "out of her place," to run her up a tree whenever we feel like it. Ed. Eagll F. R. Aklns, of Clearwater, was yester day in town on business. He reports the sunflower city aamoiag along with a vig orous and steady stride, in proof of which he sights to the amount of gram and stock that is being shipped from that point, and adds that he laid off 273 lots on his land joining the town and has already disposed of one hundred of them. ATTENTIONS FROM THREE. Three several and tumultuous speakers on the lair grounds, yesterday afternoon, each a crank in his or -her' specialty, paid their re spects to the editor of the Eaqli. Were it not true that we daily address an audience very many times greater and many times tnoro numerous than the three combined gatherings addressed yesterday, we might feel a might flattered, although we suspect the speakers intended that their words should be anything but flattering. We heard hut a word of each, our time being too precious, even on a holiday, to waste on a man with an indecent show, or a women whose great est mistake was in not being born a man, and on a politician who thinks there is no manhood outside of the Greenback party. The showman announced, much to the amusement of tho passing crowd, no doubt, that we were a religious fanatic because we protested against his making a public exhi bition of a woman's legs who he was trying to pull in two with a pair of mules for ten cents a head all round ; the woman, who was born with the mistake alluded to, declared that she had as much right to "stump it" on the street corners by moonlight as we had; and the played-out Methodist preacher and broken-down politician tried to show that we lied when we said that all the greenback is, to-day, ever was, or ever will be, is due to tho Republican party. Well, well, thero is room enough in this great world for them and for us, and each no doubt thinks him self aud herself in their proper place and sphere. We simply differ with them in this as do a great majority of the people. We are very sure that a county fair ground, which is peculiarly a social and neighborly institution is noplace to intrude with immor alities, politics nor oven so-called, reforms; and when officers permit such things they simply make a mistake for which their pa trons will not thank them. To a fair we come with our products and handiwork, and simple nmusements, in generous rivalry, and for a social holiday, and we come not as Republicans, as Democrats as Greenback ers, or as woman-suffragists, nor as to hold ing with this belief or to that; but simply as neighbors and friends upon tho one broad platform of sociability. The introduction or permission of an j thing else is an imposition on the patrons and, so far, reprehensible. Therefore, if theso intruders, who in a man ner forced themselves and their shows and doctrines and notions upon our people, be come offended at what wc said, they must make the most of it in chewing it oer and spitting it out to such as sympathize with them, for wo care not so much as a simple or combined snap of all their fingers. The Douglas avenue houso is being sup plied with large brass kerosinc lamps which are fitted with patent burners. Thoy are claimed to bo something extra good in il luminating power besides being quite orna mental. RON OVER. Chicago, Oct. 3. Capt. Dave Kenjon, acting fire marshal of this city, was fatally injured by being thrown out of his buggy while on his way to a fire. An engine and the marshal's buggy ran into each other and Kenyon was thrown over the dashboard and run over by tho heavy engine. WASHINGTON NOTES. Washwotox, D. C, Oct. 3. The light house board has issued instructions for er ecting a light house and keepers dwelling at Grand Marais, northern shore of lake Su- Scrior, and for tho erection of two keeper's wettings at Point Hays, coast of California. Tho treasury department purchased 850, 000 ounces of silver for the New Orleans and Philadelphia mints. DROWNED. St. Lotus, Tct. 3. A special to the Post Dispatch from Mexico, Mo., says: News has just been received hero of tho drowning of four persons in a stream -near Florida, Monroe county Jackson Hickman, his daughter-in-law, and her two children. Hickman drove into tho stream which was greatly swollen by rain, in spite of the pro testation of several bystanders, and was im mediately swept down the current. His body has been recovered. Tho others are not yet found. RENO REPUBLICANS. HuTdiiNsoy, KAX.,Oct- 3. The Republi can county convention was held here to-day and passed off entirely harmonious. I. M. Gray was nominated for Representative in the Ninth district by acclamation and the ten Senatorial delegates arc solid for A. M. Switzer. R. A. Campbell was re-nominated for county attorney oy acclamation. Col. Zimmerman was 'nominated for probate judge; J. B. Vincent for district clerk and Eli Payno for superintendent public schools. Tho only contest in tho convention was on tho last named office, E. L. Jewell, the present incumbent making a strong fight for a re nomination. W. P. D. Fleming was nomin ated commissioner for tho first district. NEGRO HANOED. LoriariLLK, Ky. OeL 3. Wash Fletcher, colored, was hanged at Paducah, Ky., to day, for tho murder of Amanda Jackson, in August, 1883. Tho murdered woman was the mother of Flether's mistress. He became enraged at tho daughter and attacked her. Tho mother was killed in defending her daughter from assault. Thousands of people, mostly colored, witnessed tho execu tion. Fletcher addressed the crowd in a loud, firm voice, but in a rambling, incoher ent way for an hour. Rev. Riss preached his funeral from the callows. Ho protested innocence to tho last and gave the names of Frenchy, of Cairo, and Frank Harnett, ne groes, and two white men as the parties who committed the deed. Ho knelt on the trap and praved for everybody, gamblers and whisky drinkers. MISS CARPENTER. Nkw York, Oct. 3. Friends of the miss ing Miss Sarah Carpenter, of Brooklyn, hae received a telegram from Quoenstown, an nouncing the arrival there of the steamer Bothnia. The dispatch states that a lady who gave her namo at Mrs. Blake was missed the second day out and had no doubt drowned herself. Miss" Carpenter's frinds fear this may prove the solution of her mys terious disappearance. Other clues as "to her probable whereabouts, however, are not abandoned. Tho purser of the Bothnia has been called to telegraph to New York anv particulars he or any one else can furnish about the ladv drowned. Miss Carpenter's friends ask that .any article she may have left be described. An examination of the passenger list here shows no (Mrs. Blakel lady in question. She probably boarded the'steamer at the dock, sailed and secured passage then. HENRY'S WILL. Chicago, 111., OeL 3.The will of the late private Chas. B. Henry, of the Grecly expe dition, who was shot for stealing provisions, was filed for probate to-day. It is written in pencil on a scrap of paper about the size of a postal card, torn from a blank used in the narv and is dated at Camp Clay, KHs- merasand. May 9, 1884, and is as follows: "I, Charles B. Henry, being of sound mind and health do hereby declare this to be my last will and testamenL All my .property, pay due and what may become due, I be queath to my parents, brother and sisters alive, to be equsllv divided among them. Wm. Helms, of No. 20 South Water street, Chicago, I appoint as my executor. UHAKIJtS H. UKOT, Private Fifth Cavmlrr, U. S, Armv." The will is witnessed bv LleuL F. H. Kb- lingburyand Private Joel Bender. In a Sxtal card to Mr. Helms, he tells of the con tion of the command, saying seven had al resdv died and that the remainder expected death. WICHITA, KANSAS, POLITICAL, MONSTER ASSEMBLAGES GREET MR. BLAINE. He Is Received With the Wild est Enthusiasm In Ohio. GOV CLEVELAND STILL THE TALK IN BUFFALO. 4 Frightful Railroad Accident In Min nesota, Other Items the of Interest Gathered by Midnight Wires. Xkxia, Chio, OeL 3. At Morrow, War ren county, Ohio, at the reception given to Mr. Blaine, a man, George Hamilton, an employe of the P. C. & SL Railway company was fatally injured by he premature explo- sion of a cannon. Mr. Blaine and party left Cincinnati this 1 morning about 10 o'clock by a special train on tho Little Miami railroad. The crowd at the depot and workmen in the shop tee ing the track cheered Mr. Blaine as the train moved ouL The first stop was at a little station, Milford, where there was a goo;, sized meeting. 3Ir. Blaine was warmly re ceived and ho spoke a few words of thanks. At Morrow, in Warren county, there was a fine demonstration. The party left the train and Blaine's carriage was escorted by the local committer and a troop of mounted plumed knights to a picturesque spot out side of the town where several thousand peo pie were assembled. Judge O'Xeall, of Leb-V anon, introduced Mr. Blame, who was re ceived with cheering. He thanked the peo ple for their kind reception, and reminded them that Thomas Corwin. one of the great champions of the protective system, had" represented V arren county in congress, ana expressed n hope that tho earnestness and and order of the people in relation to that question would be as great in 1884 as Corwin had made it in 1840. General Swift, of Bos ton, srjoke bneflv after Mr. Blaine. The pleasure of the reception at this point with which tho salute was fired exploded prematurely, Killing one man ana injuring another. Columbus, O., OeL 3. Thero was a great tiirnoutatXenia. Mr. Blaine was received by the local committee and escorted by the plumed knights, mounted and on foot, through the principal streets. Nearly e v ery house was decorated and the people in the streets numbered at least as many as the en tiro population of the city, there being a Very large attendance from the adjacent country. When the procession reached Jhe stand Mr, Blaine was received with loud cheering. He was presented to tho people by tho Rev. Dr. Jas. Gillespie' Carson; a prominent presby terian clergyman ofXenia,and he said: 'Bf coincidence which is interesting tome, I was here eight j ears ago to-day to address a Re publican meeting in the interest of the elee-' tion of 'en Ohio statesman to -the presidency. The man then elected president gave way after an excellent administration of four vears to another statesman, who after an agony that touched the sensibilities of the whole world, sleeps in an Honored grave.

Enthusiastic cheering. Columiius, O., OeL 3. At South Cliarles Um Mr. Blaine left the train and was driven a short distance to where a large meeting was in progress, Gov. Long, of Massachu setts, being among the speakers. The regu lar proceedings, were suspended in order that Mr. Blaine might bo presented to the people, nowa. very warmly received and ne spoke a few words in acknowledgment of the compliment but declined to further in terrupt the meetings. In this as in all the gatherings, there were a great many ladies. The demonstration at London was one of the most enthusiastic and beautiful on the whole route. From the station Blaine's carriage was escorted by a Urge troupe of mounted Knights, ladies and gentlemen in equal numbers, while the procession moved along between two lines of uniformed members of the local clubs. Across tho street at short intervals new flags and banners with such inscrip tions as "Cleveland, England and Free Trade," "Blaine, America and Protection," upon the front of tho stand was the in scription, "London, England, for Cleve land," "London, Ohio, for Blaine.', Mr. Blaine passed up to the stand between two lines of little girls dressed to represent the thirtj'-eight states. Tho girls representing Maine and Ohio, stood together by the chair that had been provided for the dis tinguished gueL When he was introduced by the Hon. John F. Locke, and was most enthusiastically cheered. lie mounted a chair so that all people could see him and when tho chcerinc nad ceased, said : It has been the singular good fortune of Ohio on several occasions to lead the people of the United States to important decisions. That responsibility rests this year on Ohio, perhaps more emphatically and more signif icantly than over before. "I was induced by pressing invitations from your state com mittee and from many friends to visit your state, but was warned that I would find a campaign of apathy. Decisive laughter.! I see it before me. Rencwe laughter. 1 have seen it from the momcnt I touched vour state or lake shore. I went across its northern border and along its western border, and have thus far progressed in pen etrating the center, and I am prepared to be lieve that the decision with which Ohio is charged to-day may prove in the end as val uable to good government as her great loyal vote of 1863. Great chccring.1 Nothing in Mr. Blaine's progress from Boston west ward has excelled in enthusiasm the great demonstration in Columbus this evening and there have been only two or three larger. The crowd in the streets when the train ar rived was certainly greater than has greeted htm at any other point reached in the day time except the one at Rochest er. The ftate committer had engaged a room at the Neil House from which Mr, Blaine could review the proces sion in the evening, but instead of stopping at the hotel Mr. Blaine went from the depot to the house af his kinsman, Mr. Henrv Mil ler. He had a formal escort composed of union Republican club, but the escort of people who marched along on each side of his carriage and behind it was very much larger. Opposite the edge of the state house square a large stand had been erected and in front of the hotel facing the square a small temporary balcony had been constructed. The people were so denelv packed in the street below that it aeeme"! impossible to clear the way for the proce sion. Thevkept their eves fixed upon the little balcony and kept up such a storm of cheers, yells and calls lor "Blame," "niatne," that theenUemen in charjre of the proces sion insisted on Mr. Blaine showing himself and making a nuie spoeca o as to satisfy the pcoplo and induce them to make war. Accordingly, when the procession was ready to move he appeared on the baleonv. Ex-Gov. Foster introduced Jir. iuainc, who was re ceived in a manner that baffles description, When he got a chance to speak be said: "Men of Ohio, I can say with some pride that I am not a stranger in Columbus. Cheers.1 I was here forty-three years ago, before the great majority of you were bora, and nave visited your" beautiful city at snort intervals ever since and have kept in mv own mind and sight the record of its splendid growth and advancement. Cheer. I have never visited it under more pleasant circumstances than this evening, "Good, good," and cheers, and thank you with a sense of profound grati tude for this magnificent, overpowering wel- SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER oasse. A voice "You haven't got obe htf what's' before you." I know very will that you would deem it great vafeity in me to attribute this mention for me. No, its because for the time I represent in a great national costtest the principles which you uphold. Great cheering. And I beg to call your attention to the fact that whereas there may be many questions of greater or leas magni tude involved in a national election, there is arWays one great controlling issue that en ters the popular mind and thaf issue this year, palpably and distinctly marked mark ed, U protection to American industry, as is bearing'that and illustrating it I wish to", further call your atten tion to another fad. When the Republican party came into power by the election of 1860, the total wealth of the state ot Ohio was a little over eleven hundred millions dollars. Twenty years from that, in 1880, tt was three thousand two hundred Millions dollars. In other words, under twentyyeers of a political tariff you advanc es! in wealth double the whole amount vou had acquired, in. all previous history of yor state, uo you wish now to give it up! There'is not a conspicuous speaker in Ohio to-day representing the cause of our opponents who is not hostile to al protective tariff. There is not a speaker of any kind representing the Republican partv who u not in favor of a protective tariff. The issue therefore is broad and distinct ho. tween-the two parties distinct as applied to sswogn. poucy mat we want is a great lpuad peaceful American policy incrcas iag our trade with our neighbors strength in bonds of an endurinc frien.lsliin with all the countries of America. This will open the great outside markets for naanuttcturinir industries for Ohio and the other states, and instead of inviting manu facturers from abroad to compete with ours at homo the Republican party proposes to seek distant markets for our own manufac tures. That issue is so distinct that you caanot mistake and it is so distinct that I eaaaot make it plainer by argument The decision rots with vou and I believe it is safe in vour hands. Gov. Foster, Hon. A. W. Tenny and Hon. J. P. Finerty followed with brief speeches. When uw nrauui mo profession reacnea me neu House, Blaine again appeared on the balcony and was cheered as loud! v and wildly as be fcre. There he staid and reviewed the nro- i evasion which lasted about an hour and a half. After the procession had passed Sena tor Hale, of Maine, made a few remarks from the hotel balcony and several speeches were suae irum ouier sianas. r GOV. CLEVELAND. Buffalo, N. T., Oct 3. All Buffalo is still talking about last night's grand recep tion. Gov. Cleveland spent the morning quietly at the Genessee House, receiving old time friends and many Independent Repub licans were among the callers. A large num ber of ladies were- presented to him. The city is still thronged with visitors. The Gov. leaves for Albany on the 11:30 train to-night; arriving at tho capitol to-morrow forenoon. An informal reception will be held at the parlors of the Genesee House this afternoon. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct 3. Nearly every body in Buffalo to-day is talking about the great demonstration last night in honor of Governor Cleveland. Tho weather cleared off beautifully after yesterday's storm and large numbers of visiting organizations re mained for the purpose of paying their res pects to Governor Cleveland. As is his hab it, the Governor rose early, notwithstanding the fatigues incident to the reception last night, and after breakfast at his rooms with his Albany friends, he received the first callers at 9:30, and from that hour until luncheon, which he also took in his rooms at 2:30 p. m., there was an unilerrupted stream of visitors, including persons in all condi tiens of life, from the humble laboring man I to the millionaire. For each he had a hearty hand shake and pleasant word. Among .thins that vWted Gov. Cleveland were many ot nis old mends and acqaint ances in Buffalo, who had known him when he came here a poor and almost friendless boy, who had watched his progress in his chosen profession, and who united in honoring him. Very fre quently the Governor called up reminiscen ces. He was always in excellent spirits. This afternoon the Governor drove about the city visiting old friends, many of whom he had" not seen since his electfon to the gubernatorial chair. This evening the Gov ernor was given a dinner at the residence of Mrs. Walter Cary. Justice Field, of the United States Supreme Court, was one of the guests. Bishop Ryan and Father Cronin called on Governor Cleveland to-dav. A pleasant chat was had, in which the (Per nor took occasion to resent, in the most em phatic manner, the charge that he had ever, directly or indirectly, influenced any mem ber of the Legislature regarding the disposi tion of the "freedom of worship bill," so as to relievo the Governor from any embar rassment in its consideration.
