New York. October 31st-At the bust
ness mems meeting this afternoon, in
Hail. Senator Sherman dcliv
cred an elaborate address. At the conciu- |
sion of his remarks, Blaine came upon the
stage. His appearance was the signal for
an enthusiastic demonstration. When
silence was restored, he said:

to follow Senator sherman. [Applause.l deem

newed applause. 1t was the good fortune of
Mr. Hamilton to organize that Department with |
his mastery ability, and to place the credit OF
the young republic upon an enduring basis. II
was the good fortune Of Alexander J. Dallas to |
carry the finances of the Government through !
the embarrassments resulting from the war of
1872. 1t was the good fortune OF William IL. |
Crawford, after the great depression that fol- |
lowed orr victorious struggle. TO revive the ma
tionai credit by the protective tariff Of 1924. |
[Applause.] 1t was the good fortune of Thomas
Ewing after a great Wing victory of 1910, |
to initiate those measures which gave
us the protective tariff of 1862 1t was the good
fortune of Salmon p. Chase applarlsel to carry
the Government through all the extraordinary
crises which were preciptated by the civil war, |
and it was the good fortune OF the third eminent
citizen of Ohio, John sherman applauSel, to
lead the nation back TO the sound basis of spe-
cie payment. Renewed apnlause- And it was
singularly happy, i'll the career OF Mr.. Sherman,
that i'll the legislative department he was per
mitted to shape the Resumption Act, and i'll the
department to administer its proyi-
sions and carry it TO a successful issue. Ap-
plausel That ReSumptionl Act is a continuing
blessing and benefit TO lh!S country. Loud ap-
plause.] 1t has placed the Governments
finances and the finances cf the people. upon a
stable foundation. and | am sure that from the
brief historic review | haveventured TO submit,
the transition is easy 10 the duty of the people
in the pending national contest. Ii the Resump-
ton Act and the great series of financial meas
ures of which it was the fitting climax, be
benefit to the business interests of this country,
the political influence of the business
men of the country should certainly be
given to the party which originated
and enforced that legislation. There is no need
for me- before the business men of New York to
supplement the argument which am sure Mr.
Sherman has made complete, and / should
hardly have dared to give myself the pleasure
of appearing here but for my desire to testify in
this great metropolis OF the Union, my apprecia-
ton of your distinguished guests services. Zap

the twenty-three years during which the Repub-
lican party has been i'll power are certainly dis

certainly, have the educatienal Interests of the
people been 50 greatly and so RAPIDLY advanced.
At no time have the spirit of humanity aud
benevolence of the people been so generously
developed as during that period. At no time.
certainly, has Christian charity made so marked
an advance rs during the period in which the
Republican party has administered the Govern
ment. vt no time within the memory of any
one who does me the honor to hear me has there
beed so little bigOtry in the country as there is
to-day. Good. good. and applause. AT no
previous time has there been an occasion of
great public interest relating to the fate OF the
Government in which, upon the same platform,
and for the same patriotic end has there been
such cordial and hearty cooperation rs there

and prolonged applause. Certainly, that is 4
great consummation, which Il republic, pledged
to civil and religious liberty. should aim at, and
il viii remain the lasting glory of the Repub

achieved during its broad and wise and liberal
administration OF the national Government.

New YORK, October 31st.- The parade in
honor of James g. Blaine tonight is CON
sidcred the greatest public demonstration
of the kind that ever took place here. The

the time, and the streets were covered with
Shiny mud that made marching difficult.
Among the features of the parade was the
Edison Electric Light Company. Each
man wore in his helmet am incandeScent
lamp. fed from wire stretched along
rope borne on their shoulders, and con-
nected with the dynamo in wagon in the
hollow square formed, the machine being
driven by steam from an engine which
carried the calliope, playing, The Conquer
ing Hero Comes" as it passed Mr.. Blaine.
There was battery headed by transpar-
ency, inscribed, Black Jacks Grammar
at Shiloh" and in the rear 4 formidable
piece of cannon made Mr.. Blaine and all
other spectators laugh heartily. Among
the visiting delegations was one from Sagi-
nav, Mich. The applause of the night,
after Blaine, seemed to be reserved for the
John J. O'Bricn hosts. Mr.. Q Brien is
Chairman of the Republican County Com
mittee Everybody seemed 10 be cheering
he and them. The procession was a sue
cession of splendors and surprises, and was
pronounced well worth travelling from Sagi-
nav 10 see. 1t was very late when the last
corps passed the reviewing stands, yet Mr..
Blaine remained To the close, seemingly
one of the best pleased of the spectators.
