CHEERS FOR HANCOCK.

GEN. LEE.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-A re-
markable scene occurred in Broad
street to night, at the Republican mass
meeting. A week ago to night the
Democrats had parade, and turned
out with 10000 men. The Republi-
cans strained every nerve to make a
larger display to night, and there were
probably $4,000 men in the procession.
A stand was erected in front of the
Union League building, from which it
was announced that Blaine would
| speak. An immense crowd gathered
to hear him before the procession
started, but he spoke very briefly on
account of the noise. There were
many Hancock men in the crowd, and
some one started hurrah for theDem-
ocratic candidate. This aroused the
ire of r. Stockett Matthews, who be-
gan to harrangue the crowd. He said
such scenes might be expected in Ala
bama or Mississippi. "Why don't you
hurrah for jeff Davis?" he shouted,
and the crowd jeered and derided him.
''Cheer for Robert E. Lee," he called,
"cheer for Robert E. Lee. He was as
great General as Hancock" The
crowd laughed again, and then the
cfeer was taken up and Hancock's
name went up from thousands of
thtoats. 1t was scene the Republi-
cans were not looking for. The pro-
cession was very fine one. 1t was so
long that the leaders decided not to
plrade through the city. The column
was divided into two parts, one march
ing up the length of Broad street, and
the other down. The effect was novel
and beautiful.

SENATOR BLAINE's SPEECH.
Senator Blaine was introduced by
Mr.. Baker, and came forward amid
considerable cheering. He said:
eff it were possible to elect General
Hancock President his success would
mean not merely change of admins
tration but change of dynasty. 1t
; would be political revolution in the
government of the most startling char
acter, for to place the rebels of the
South in command of the nation is
quite as radical change as would be
occasioned in England by unseating
tho House of Hanover and restoring
the House of Stewart" At this mo-
ment the crowd before the speaker
swayed violently in the direction of the
platform, and the police had great
trouble to prevent the ropes from be-
ing overthrow. The agitation was so
