Mr.. Blaine was recognized by the
people tremendous shout went up,
and lasted for some time. Mr.. Dra-
per introduced Mr.. Blaine as "the
ninth in the honored list of Repub-
lican Presidents" This title caused
more cheering, and then Mr.. Blaine,
stepping to the front of the plat
form, said:
To be received by the city of
New York is indeed an honor; to
be received by such a magnificent
demonstration as that which | see
before me touches me deeply, moves
me deeply, and calls for the most
sincere and heartfelt thanks.
[Cheers.l Your great emporium,
this city of New York, represents in
its growth and grandeur the United
States of America. [Cheers.] 1t is
not merely the chief municipality Of
the Empire State it IS the CONNER
cial metropolis of the Continent and
| conceive it to be one of the chief
honors of my life TO be thus vel
coined to its hearty hospitality.
[Cheers.l ] renew to you and i'm
pres, upon you the gratitude | feel,
the thankfulness / offer for all that
you tender me- Shouts of you
are welcome" and continued cheers.
Mr.. Blaine was followed into the
parlors by rounds of cheers. When
be had disappeared Emory A. Storrs,
of Chicago, U. S. Senator Hawley
and other gentlemen made short ad-
dresses.
Then the crowd again shouted for
Blaine. He returned to the plat
form and witnessed the parade OF
1000 members of various political
clubs. After the uniformed men
had passed Mr.. Blaine, being again
called for, stepped to the front and
said: ALLOW me to thank you for

The Reynolds statue.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1S.-The
eighteenth anniversary of the organ
ization known as the Grand Army
of the Republic was celebrated to-
day with more than usual ceremony.
1t is what is known as Grand Army
Day, and at an early hour this
morning the blue-coated veterans,
their breasts decorated with the
bronze star, were to be seen on their
way to the headquarters of their re.
spective posts. Brass bands made
merry music in the streets, and the
whole city wore a more or less holi-
day aspect. The procession formed
on South Broad street and marched
to the state fair.
In the afternoon the several posts
participated in the unveiIing exer.
cises at the Reynolds memorial stat
ue at the north entrance of the new
public buildings. Ex-Governor Car
tin presented the state in a few well
chosen words, and Mayor Smith ac-
cepted it on behalf of the city in q
brief address.
