I know that I'll be filled with joy, in regions free from care, for angels tall me in my sleep, there are no kickers there.

When the train pulled in there were probably 78,K people around the station and op and down the tracks, a Barging,' dense body of men and women, straining to get a glimpse of the Chief Magistrate. As the train slowed up a mighty shout of welcome went up, nnd handkerchiefs and hats were waved madly in the air. The President and Mrs. Cleveland were helped down the car Bteps, and more cheers went up. Then ihe police forced a lane through the multitude and to the carriage, and Mrs. Cleveland was helped in nnd followed by the President and Gov. Oglesby and Mayor Boche. The military formed around them and there was more wild cheering; and the escort moved away, followed by morearriages and the tumultuous crowd that fell in behind. The President took off his hat the momen he got into die carriage, and bowed and smiled as the roaring cheers went up. fie seemed well pleased with his welcome, and be might well be, for it was royal. Mis. Cleveland wore a black travelingdress, and although wearied from her long journey she looked as fresh and charming aa usual. It was a succession of ovations the President received all along the route. At Twenty-second street and kiichigan avenue a myriad of small flags were to be seen from windows and house-taps. Up that magnificent roadway there extended thousands and thousands of spectators. Faces looked out of every window, men were to be seen on the roofs of houses,

and all over flashed the stars and stripes, while the music of many bands and the cheering of the populace filled the air. Modest estimates placed the crowd on the streets at from .250,000 to 400,000, every front foot of space along the ten miles of streets over which the procession passed

assembled multitude of one another as to

what the absence of Mrs. Cleveland meant. By modest estimate there must have been 50,000 people in waiting in the vicinity of the review stand when the presidential

nartr arrived. They stood patiently for

hours, and a jolly party of local dignitaries

of high and low degree were assembled on

the stand. The President and committee mounted the stand at 12 o'clock. The people on the stand crowded forward. A train of freight cars drew up on the Illinois Central track opposite. A thou

sand men and boys swarmed on top

of the cars. The grand stand across

the avenue fairly groaned under its great load. Thecrowd in the park, huge before, seemed to sweep up and multiply itself indefinitely. Everybody seemed to have made an effort to get there and to get there at once. The President was conducted to

A few introductions followed, and

Mayor Boche addressed the President a few words of welcome, to which he responded briefly. After bis address the President repaired to the Palmer House for dinner,' and considerably concerned

about Mr. Cleveland. At i 0 clock Mrs. Cleveland was resting easily, and by 3 o'clock she was able to receive with the

President ana airs, tieveuna iook

their places at the place of reeep-

at the foot of the main

stairway, and the almost endless

throng of people began passing through from the Monroe street entrance to the

State street entrance. Mrs. Cleveland was

attired in a beautiful dress of lace and purple, with low neck, large sleeves, and

long court train. The President wore his

usual suit of black. When the first ap

pearance of the line began to be formed, leaded by a detachment of Union vet

erans, bearing aloft the tattered battle flag of the 11th Kansas Volunteers, a striking

scene ensued. While the President was

warmly greeted by the old soldiers, one

after another, the color bearer stepped

and is described as being remarkably hand-

Cleveland, and the lungs of the multitude responded.

"Michael Earitt and wtricx Jsgan, mu

President of the Irish National Land JLeague in America, roachod this city on Tuesday," says a Chicago dispatoh. "Mr. Davitt has just come from Dublin, and Mr. Egan from his home in Lincoln, Neb. Bogarding the object of his visit Mr. Davitt said it bad no connection with Land-LBSgue affairs. When asked regarding the Mitchellstown affair Mr. Davitt said there was no need ot his expressing an opinion, as no one would suspect him of taking the Bide of the English government He feared mat times would bo hard in Ireland the coming winter, but his country had pulled through many hard trials and would come out all right this tiino. The business which brings Mr. Davitt, to America is the revival of the Irish linen industry, which has declined greatly within a few years. Through Mr. Davitt's exertions capital has been enlisted in the

scheme, and the manufacture of linen, it is

expected, will again occupy thousands 01 people in the old country."

POLITICAL POINTS. The anti-prohibitionists of Florida have

just discovered that the "pros" are too sharp for them, and that the State will soon be irretrievably a dry State without a State vote having been taken on the issue. The but

Legislature allowed the "pros" to frame a

local option law. By its construction, if cer

tain districts in a county go "dry, but the

county as a whole goes wet, these dry dis

tricts remain so. On the contrary, if a ma

jority of the districts of a county go "dry" the wet districts cannot remtin so, but the whole

ounty is declared dry, and the law is so en-

lorcea mat me -pros"' always wm aim uover

lose. They have carried half the State already.

(Special telegram from Chicago.! -wteMPreaMont am) Mrs. Cleveland were . gi Ten tin 'enthusiastic reception by tho people of Chicago on Wednesday. The arrangements were generally exceedingly well planned, and were carried out without misadventure of any kind. The procession was a grand affair, tho street decorations tasteful and effective,

anu apparently tue vuefr uae waa uiaue ui every Eoi.i of tho time given to this city by the distinguished visitors. The people upon

the streets and stationed at every point

where a view of the President and his wife could possibly be expected greatly outnumbered those engaged in any similar demonstration of interest in and respect for a public per sonage that has ever been witnessed here. Whatever there may have been of embittered feeling Ion account of disappointment in the change Of administration, or whatever of party bias may have held sway the day before, all

was swept away m one granu, entnusiaauc nurrah. The office-holder and office-seeker joined voices in the demonstration, and the shout of kindly greeting from the sidewalk was echoed and re-echoed from the verandas and windows, and, ascending heavenward, burst from tho very tops Uf the loftiest buildings. The ladios and children, arrayed in bright colors, added enchantment to the scene, and good cheer was not only seen but felt on every hand. The

President hlmseu must have been peculiarly imnrossed bv the cosmouolitan character of

the demonstration, especially since it was his

nrst visit n any great commercial center west ot the AUe(henies. The massive buildings,

down with people, who paid a good price for tho privilege of standing on the crowded elevation for three agonizing hours at the risk of breaking their necks. The prices charged for seats were in some cases exorbitant, but there were takors for all of them. "Five dollars secures you a good seat here," was the modest song of one philanthropist, who bad fitted up a few tiers of bleaohmg-boarda on Wabash avenue. "Thoso seats are for your accommodation, ladles and gentlemen. Tho President passes here; fine view of the wbolo procession. Get your lady a seat, sir; only S3 apiece ; $10 for the two of ye." The jam seemed to be equal at all points along the line, for there was no place where the crowd did not overflow into the street and become a solid mass of humanity, bo that it was with great difficulty that sufficient space was cleared to allow tho pageant to pass through. The decorations along the line of march were very fine, and many of them in the business heart of the city were rich and gorgeous. When President Cleveland and his party reached the reviewing stand, and leaving their carriage olimbed upon the new pine platform to confront the chilly east wind, they fonnd Uiohigaa venue paved with faces for a long distanoe t- '. . rth and south, The apl r u - in, rrldentwas a signal for cheer ;.' .un u-.i '. tMng About himont ' 'a'fte.i-.

Out of the smoke as it hovered above tuo water came the short .hark of a cannon shot after an interval which seemed strangely long. It waa the first gun of twonty-one fired in honor of the President. As the last report of the cannon faded out Mayor Boche, standing within arm's length of President Cleveland, delivered a neat address of welcome.

President Cleveland in beginning his speeoh in roply to that of tbe Mayor advanced to the front ot tbe platform and gave forth his words

in strong tones. The eager thousands about him crowded forward with great uproar. Hen on the platforms sprung up on their chairs and

swung tnemseives nearer in a recuesg lasmon.

until they stood together in heaps, swinging about on their unsteady perches, and occasionally falling to tho floor. The consequence was that tho great noise rendered the President's voice very inaudible to the throng. His speech was as follows : Mb. Hatob asd Fellow-Citizkm It waa

soon after the election of 1884 that an old resident of your city was endeavoring to persuade me to pay you a visit. He met every objection that waa offered and adhered most nertlna-

ciously to the statement that I should accept the invitation which he tendered. At last, see

ing the persuasion waa likely to fail, he vehemently broke out with this declaration: "The people whero I live don't think any man who has not seen Chioago Is fit to be President I" I have often thought since of this Incident, and

He was plainly dressed In an English woratod black coat tightly buttoned around him, black broadcloth tronaars, and congress gaiters. An old-fashioned turneddown collar surrounded his nock, to whioh was attached a ready-made tie of black silk. In his left hand was a handkeroblef of generous proportions and snowy whiteness. Taking up a position to the right of the staircase he watted a moment to allow tho ladles who were to receive to step into tha beautifully decorated

rendezvous partitioned on I or tneir oomion. Mrs. Cleveland was given a ohair beside a huge pillow to the right, and for the first half hour of the reeeption remained seated. By her side stood Oon. Breckenridge and Jndge Tuley,

their well wishes for his welfare. During the two hours and a half it is estimated that he shook at least 7,000 different persons' hands. Am mil the manv who presented themselves

was the Douglas Camp of the Veteran Association, carrying with them an old tattered and bullet-torn flag that bad waved over the Eleventh Kansas Volunteers a score and more years ago. As the comrades passed before the President the commander handed a Bmall piece of the precious trophy to Mrs. Cleveland and asked her to keep it in remembrance of she oot.aainn

Incidents without number kept up a oosrtinual

At the request of Mrs. Cleveland, Potter

I must confess that the consideration of the arguments made by my friends from Chicago indicates the loyalty and that true feeling and pride of which your oity is so striking a monument. All have hoard of it. if they have not Been it, for I think that every one of your citizens has organized himself into a committee of ono to spread its glory abroad. You have Bald: "The President should see Chicago." I am here to see i and to see its Kind and hospitable people ; and because your oity is so great, and because your interests are so large and important, I know that you will permit me to say that I have left at homo a city which you should see and know more about ; a city which, in point ot fact, it would be well to keep your eyes olosely upon all the time. Your servants and your agents are there ; they ate there to protect your interests and to aid yon in furthering your welfare. Your ceaseless activity of hand and brain will not yield the results you deserve unless wisdom guides tbe councils of government, and unless your noods are regarded at the seat of tho Government the nation's oapital. Let me counsel you that a careful and thoughtful action on political privielges is not only a safeguard against business disaster, but as well the highest obligation of citizenship. Then the review of the procession began. M our. ted troops with sabers, regiments of uniformed 'infantry on foot, posts of Grand Army veterans, battalions of polios, patrol wagons, firemen with their engines bearing lavish, decorations all niarehed past with numberless bands of music. The Prosident removed hie. bat as each section of the great procession saluted him in turn. He stood at Mayor Roche's side for an hour and a half while the thousands of marching men were hurrying past. Occasionally the enormous throngs oi' people surged into the line of march and temporarily broke up the parade. The policemen chased the mob hither and thither, pushing i about, bruising it, and driving it away like sheep. At last the long procession marched away and disappeared forever. As the last file of men passed the reviewing stand the great ocean ot! people surged in upon the street, engulfed tho policeinou, and left them straggling helplessly : "id the breakers which rolled up to the foot of the President. A long battle between the officers and the mob followed. The former suffered inglorious defeat, The people were clamoring to shaks

cmcAoo's cones. . The new ulavine talent which Chioaao

has captured during ihe past ten days has ' been showing np in good form in every game in which it has participated. Spraguc,

tne young saw cngiana punner wno maao his first appearance in a Chicago uniform in the last game at Whit Stocking park with New York, is now voted a good, one by his fellow-players and by the Chioago public, while Tebeau, the young player whom Chicago took from Denver, has shown himself to be a great man vith the bat, between bases, and in the field. In the selection of these players Capt, Anson has again shown the excellent judgment he possesses when it comes to estimating the worth of a ban-player. Speaking of Anson, it will he remembered that the Detroit Clnb ten days ago offered the Chioago Clnb the sum of 000 for the release of the big first-baseman, and the the offer was prompuyrefeaedV A reporter dropped into President Spalding's office the other day and was informed by Mr. Studding that DetroitV.o hejt, been followed by one from the Kttfwrgh Club, that organization offering fl5,9M ' cash for the future services of Anson as a captain, manager, and first-fasveman. "It would look queer to aeeetd Anefan playing first-base in the uniform some other club than Chicago, wouldn't it? the reporter asked. ' 4Yes," was the reply of the Chioago Club President, "it would look queer, but you will never see it, at least so long as 1 am President of the Chicago'' Club. Anson I regard as the beet club toanager in tbe country to-day. Were he to leave us I do not know how I should replace him." "You will not accept Pitteburg's offer, then?"

"No, sir. I will not even consider, i

less accept it. I ."Now that the season of 1867 is

an And. how do won think it will

pare with other seasons in point of attendance, in the grade of ball played, in the conduct and habits of the players, and in the class of people who have patretuzeditf" "It will oompare favorably, very favorably, in all tbe points you mention. I believe that the aggregate attendance at the games of the National League alone will exeeed that of last year by half a million of people, white as to the clots of our patronage I do not think a more respectable element exists in any community than that whioh is interested in and which is largely represented at the games in each of the cities in the League circuit Doctors, law- . vers, bankers, ministers, and other professional and business men prominent in their communities are openly admirers of base-ball and are in the majority, together with their wives and da-lgbters, among the occupants ot our grand stands. A very gratifying change from the order of things which existed some years ago is seen in the increased number of ladies at the game. Why, I remember when we could almost count upon taeir fingers the representatives of the lair sea to be seen at a baU game, but now it is an every-day occurrence to see frilly one-third or at least one-fourth of the seats in the grand stand of the Chicago Club occupied by ladies. The secret of all thn is found in the manner in whioh the game is now conducted. As it has become popular, it has broadened in importance until it has now became a great and legitimate business in which hundreds ot thousands of dollars are circulated each year. The salary lists of ten clubs wiH alone aggregate not far from a quarter of a million of money, and the amount invested in grounds and the imrawvements thereon, will easily exeeed $150,000 rhoro. The players are held under discipline and management, which, while not so severe, is fully aa effective and as productive of as good results as that of the army itself. I may say upon this point, too, that system and discipline ate aa necessary in base-ball as in the army. By this I do not mean to place our ball-players upon the same intoUectuel level with the recruits of our army. I would rather compare them with the officers, who understand and realize tbe value of disoipl.ne, and who not only exercise it toward their subordinates, but apply it to themselves aa well. There are some things that seem a little harsh in the contract whioh at present binds a ball-player to his club, but if such exist, they are more as measures of protection to the club than as provisions through whioh injustice or wrong may be inflicted upon the men. I do net believe mere is a ball-player in the country to-day who ever wore the uniform of the White Stockings who can put his finger upon any

instance wherein he has suffered from harsh treatment or injustice at the hands of the Chicago Club. The good effect ot good business management and a little discipline may be seen try a glance at the situation to-day eompared with that of ien years age. There is now

no intemperance among our

era. They are all in sph

physical condition as a result, ana able to play ball well worth looking a. There is now none of the unfortunate wrangling upon the field which used to bring the game into disrepute in its younger days, while everything works smoothly sod systematically aud the clubs are in consequence able to offer accommodations to the publio suoh as would have opened the eyes of the people fifteen years ago. The season has, I think, been a food one financially for every club in the League, white the race has been as clese and determined, if net more so, than thai ot any previous ,-, 1 Bos tTjapo.
