 NEWARK, Sept 23.-In this city tonight a great Republican demonstration was made in honor of Senator James G. Blaine. He was accorded an enthusiastic welcome by mass meeting in the Grand Opera House, and afterwards was called on to review torch light parade of the uniformed Republican clubs of Essex county The hall, which holds twenty-five hundred people, was dense 1y crowded While waiting for Mir. Blaine, the audience listened to songs by glee club, and itself sang ftAmerica." At 7:30 o'clock Mr. Blaine came on the stage, accompanied by H on. F. A. Potts, candidate for Governor, Hon. George M. Robeson, General Kilpat- rick, Hon. Phineas Jones and Hon. John Hill, candidates for Congress, Congressman Blake and others. The audience arose and received the Maine Senator with prolonged cheering and waving of hats and handker- chiefs Mr Cortlandt Parker presided and introduced Mir. Blaine in G. eulogistic speech. In opening his address, MT. Blaine said he acknowledged the chairman's compliments to himself and his State, though there had been times when he had been prouder of it than he was to-day. "But wait for November" ." Continuing, MT. Blaine said there was no in- stance in English or in American history of an administration being overturned in time of prosperity, and now when the promises of the Republican party were being fulfilled and prosperity is general, it was imprudent for the Democrats to ask to be trusted with power. This was not a personal contest. He had an admiration for Garfield and en- tire confidence in him, also respect for Han cock, who served his country well. But the question is whether the American people will commit the country to one set of men or another Elect Hancock and you hand the Supreme Court to the Democratic party led
 by Southern men. Mir. Thurman will go on the bench He is pure and learned, but as to upholding the constitutional amendments and the theory that the country is nation,
 he is as' wrong as the old rebels. Slavery
 was made national institution by the decis- ion of the Supreme Court, and it was not
 now safe to put men in there who were sat-
 urated with that false doctrine.
 Mr. Blaine next said that if General Han
 cock was elected there will be an overturning
 of the financial and protective laws He
 then discussed protection and the national
 banks, advocating both. Referring to the
 Southern question he said from one and a half to two millions of people were returned
 in the census who are not there. Then the colored vote is suppressed But there IS not power enough in the armies in Europe o1
 wealth enough in the treasuries of the world to make the American people submit to the control of fraudulent majority. (Greai cheering) The coming battles in Ohio and
 Indiana will be initial struggles for the mas tery of the government. If the people un derstand the issues as coming to their fire sides he has no doubt of the results. If they vote to put the Supreme Court and the fnan cial and tariff laws in the scale of experiment they will fail to do their duty. wise theory is to stand by what is stable and true New Jersey cannot vote the Democratic tlcke with safety to her financial and industrial in terests Mr. Blaine said nothing of the re cent election in Maine. Last year, he said, { desperate game was played there against tht right of suffrage. It was meaner than tha in Louisiana because played under the forms of law. It is fair to charge that the Demo cratic party is not in favor of an untrameue6 vote It's leaders know they would have nt chance of carrying an election if every mal who has right to vote did@ It is the dut. of the United States to see that every man i I free to exercise the right of suffrage On l half million of Republican votes have bee1 ! uniustly wiped out in the South. Genera i Hancock speaks of ballots collected on tn ! point of the bayonet, yet east of Omah ! there is one United States soldier to a count and half The Democratic charge of Re l publican election frauds is made to get rid O l the national election laws. Mir. Blaine al l gued that these laws were just and thel l closed.
 Cheers followed, and Messrs. Potts an Robeson were called out. After the meetin \ a large parade took place. MT. Blaine passe ] through the open ranks in Broad street ami l great enthusiasm. Many buildings were l luminated and fireworks displayed
