CHEER HIM TO THE ECHO.

Like a Soldier without Protection
from it.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-James g. Blaine
arrived here this morning and was met by
the Republican Committee of the Third
Assembly District and quartered at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Grover Cleveland
also arrived here last night and was met
at the depot by the Democratic Commit
tee in general and was taken to the HOf-
man House, making him a next-door
neighbOr to Blaine. This afternoon, at
O'Clock, Gov. Cleveland reviewed the
State Militia of New York from this city
and Brooklyn. They were drawn up in
Fifth Avenue in grand style, numbering,
in a body, fully 10000. After the general
review was dismissed, the troops, all in
one grand, enthusiastic voice, which
seemed to shake the very earth beneath
them, gave three cheers for Grover Cleve-
land, the next President of the United
States. While all this was going on,
Blaine, in a carriage with Gen. Grant,
sat off as private citizen and mere spec
tatOr to behold his own declining strength
and not to hear one single voice in his be-
half.
It is evident that Blaine saw the impossi-
bility of his election three weeks ago and now
he but works for the good of his party, realiz-
ing his defeat. He but strives to save himself
from a disgraceful fall Aside from all poll
tics Blaine has been faithful to his cause and
a valiant worker and is now very much
fatigued. He was announced to speak here
tonight at Irving Hall, but declined from
sheer exhaustion. The Democrats say that
the sight of the militia so dead against him
unnerved him for the fray. The Republicans
have procession tomorrow, which viii be
reviewed by Blaine; but, since the Indepen-
dent petroleum men ana the Independent
bankers and brokers (who have heretofore
been indifferent and SILENT came out Satur-
day in the Democratic procession with Cleve-
land and Hendricks cOlOrs, the Republicans
at best cannot muster over ll.000 men in their
line. They have already virtually Welded
New York to the Democrats. The Democrats
will fail into line in the rear of the Repu5li-
can procession tomorrow, $4,000 in number,
with the music of Dear Mr.. Fisher, Burn
this Letter." as their martial air.
Mr.. Cleveland was taken in charge by the
field and stan officers and given a dinner at
DelmonicO's tonight.
