lirFFAho, N. Y., Aug. 29. — Appar
ently the entire population of llutfalo,
the home of Urover Cleveland, turned
its footsteps lust night towards .Music
hall, where Candidate ilryun addressed
4,000 people, as many as could he
packed within the four walls, while
unnumbered thousands tilled the
neighboring streets Tiie day in iittf
futo hud been tiie greatest ovation
Mr. iiryan lias received in ‘'tiie ene
my's country, ' and the night meeting
which ended it attracted almost, if
not quite, us many would-be auditors
as tiie notification in Mudisou Square
garden.
A reception was held for two hours
in the hotel parlors in the afternoon,
wbeu Mr. and Mrs. ilryun shook bunds
with a constant line ot callers, which
still stretched along half a block out
side the building when the doors were
closed upon the lust coiners.
Mr. Ilryun was escorted to the hull
by tiie “Cleveland Democracy,'' the
city's oldest party organization, and
by ward clubs bearing torches. The
line of murch was along half a mile of
Main street, crowded almost us thick
ly as was the hull, and red fire and
cannon announced his coming. When
Mr. Ilryun appeared upon the stage,
escorteu uy mnTc < ommmeeinan noun
C. (Sheehan, the police were powerless
to control the audience, and swarm
ing down to the front, several hun
dred men took possession of the seats
reserved for the clubs which escorted
Mr. liryan.
Mr. liryan xaid, among other things:
"We propose a financial policy. Our
opponents propose nothing. Without
during to defend the gold standard,
without daring to set a time when
you shall escape it, they nreach the
doctrine of 'grin and bear it,’ and
offer no hope to the human race. We
ask for the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. We have had it
in the past, and we ask that the
American people shall do their own
legislating for themselves without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation, and we have had it In
the past. We believe that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 16
to 1 will maintain the parity between
gold and silver.
“And right here let rne call atten
tion to something which I have
learned since I came into your city.
I am told that some of your mer
chants, in order to give an object les
son to the people, have been offering
to furnish Mexican dollars for 60
cents as part of the change when you
buy goods Mv friends, let me give
f'ou sn opportunity to test the smeer
ty of these people. Let me give you
a suggestion. They tell you that If
we had the free coinage of silver that
the American dollar would be as little
as the Mexican dollar is now. They
tell you that if we bad the tree coin
age of silver, silver will not rise in
value. Let ine give you a suggestion
by which you can test them. When
ever a man offers you a Mexican dol
lar for 50 cents, you take it, and then
take It to your savings bank and ask
them if they will take- it on deposit
for 50 cents and give you a written
agreement to give you a Mexican dol
lar the next dav after the inaugura
tion of the next president.
“Our opponents have said that the
soldiers who are receiving pensions
must be protected against the free
coinage of silver. They would have
us believe that these financiers who
are insisting upon the go d standard
are insisting upon it for fear the sold
iers drawing a pension may suffer by
the abandonment of the gold stand
aril. They forget that those who were
soldiers remember the times we hud
during the war; they forgot that these
soldiers were old enough to know
something of legislation; they forgot
that these soldiers know that the
financiers who are today pleading the
cause of the soldier who was offering
his life for his couutry and receiving
his pay in greenbacks while these
same financiers were making their
bonds payable in coin, although they
did not fight themselves (Applause.)
And I ain not willing to believe that
they urt auy more considerate of the
soldiers' interests today than they
were at the time when tliov were look
ing after themselves (Applause.)

LI HUNG CHANG HERE.
The Chinese Statesmen Welcomed in
(•rent Style.
Nkw York, Aug. H9.—At 9 o'clock
this morning colors were hoisted on
the fleet of American warships at
anchor olT Thompkinsville, Staten
Island, and other preparations were
made for welcoming Li Hung t/liang,
the greatest statesman of China. The
vessels were the Indiana, the New
York, the Massachusetts, the Maine,
the Texas, the Columbia, the Newark,
the Raleigh, the Montgomery, the
Amphitrite, the Terror and tiie Dol
phin, the last named carrying Major
General Thomas H, Ruger and staff.
At the American line pier were four
troops of tiie Sixth United Stales cav
aly and a detachment of the naval
reserve.
On board the Dolphin with General
Ruger were tiie Chinese minister,
Yang, and suite, the Chinese consul
and a few specially invited guests.
Hovering about tiie nay was a fleet of
sail and steam yachts, excursion boats
und tugs, loaded with passengers, who
were probably more interested In see
ing tiie ships of the so-called “white
squadron” lire their twenty-one gun
salute than In witnessing the arrival
In American waters of the Chinese
envoy.
The famous coffin of the Chinese
statesman was not brought to Ameri
ca with him, having been sent back
home from London. With the diplo
matist aie LI King Tong, or Lord 1-1,
adopted son of Li Hung ( hang, who
has been secretary of the Chinese lega
tion at London and minister to Japan;
Lo Peng Lun, the principal Inter
preter, who was educated in Knglaud
and was chief of the naval school at
Tien Tain; Yu Hhih-.Mci. Llen-Cbun
King, Lin Iton-Mbu and Li King Shu,
the second son of Li Hung Chang, all
secretaries; Chang Liu, Hunk-Ki, Mich
i'ang Ho, Rah Rin, Uuaug ( iiing, Lo
Chung Hung and Hung Chai Miaug,
attaches; Ur. Irwin, an Kngllsh physi
cian; Major Von Hanneken of Chino- <
Japanese win fame, and a forcejof
Tho Dolphin steamed down the bay
with General Huger and the guests on
board shortly after lo o'cleoek, and at
10:30 dropped anchor off Quarantine,
awaiting the arrival of the St. Louis.
The St. Louis arrived off Quarantine
at 12:30 o'clock and was immediately
boarded by the government officers
from the cruiser Dolphin, who ex
tended to the Chinese statesman, in
behalf of President Cleveland, a wel
come to the United States.
The St. Loufas slowly moved up the
bay, surrounded by all kinds of gayly
decorated craft and with the Dolphin
quite neat her to the noise of a tre
mendous chorus of steam whistles and
u continual fusilade of giant firecrack
ers, etc.
As the St. Louis neared the Ameri
can fleet, tiie first salute in honor of
the Chinese visitors was fired from
the flagship New York, gun by gun,
until twenty-one shots had been fired.
The New York was the only warship
to fire a salute, bat the other ships
dipped their colors as the St. Louis
passed. They presented a magnificent
appearance and were watched with
the greatest interest by the Chinese
ambassador and hi* suite from the po
sition which they occupied on the
port side of the upper deck of the
American liner.
The St. I ouis move 1 up the harbor
in a sort of triumphal procession,
greeted on all sides with the tooting
of steam whistles and other salutes
and reached her dock at 1:30 o'clock.
But the party was not able to land
until sometime later, owing to the
necessary delay in warning the ship
to ita wtiarf.
GREETED BY OREST CROWDS.
About the dock all kinds of craft
dashed. During this time while the
yellow standard of China was loudly
cheered by the crowds about the
wharf, the bow of the big steamship
neared the landing place of the Amer
ican line.
The Chinese party was received at
the pier by the guard of honor of the
marine infantry and an immense
crowd of people, which was with dif
ficulty kept back from the approaches
by a large force of police. The
Chinese standard was removed from
the American lino steamor at l:io
o’clock, as tho Chtnesc ambassador
landed on tno wharf and entered the
carriage in attendance.
The first carriage contained the
ambassador and General Huger and in
the next were Tao-Tal Li, Major Von
lianueken and a member of the staff
of General Huger. After them came
carriages containing the Chinese minis
ter and Chinese consul and their suitee
accompanied by staff officers. The
procession was headed by a detach
ment of the Sixth cavalry with an
other detachment of the same regi
ment in its rear. The whole was pre
ceded by a detachment of mounted
