 NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Mr. Blaine and his family occupy departments at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and from early this morning they were fairly besieged by callers. A little before noon MT. Blaine was presented with handsome gold medal voted to him as ''The favorite candidate for President" at the re- cent fair of the German Lutheran St. Pauls church, Brooklyn. Rev. John Huppenbauer presented the medal and Mr. Blaine respond ed briefly.
 A largely attended meeting was held in Chickering Hall this afternoon under the auspices of the Republican Central union. It was announced as Sherman mass meeting and Hon. John Sherman was the first to ad dress the gathering. Hon. B. F. Manierre presided and among the vice presidents were many distinguished citizens of all creeds and occupations. About ladies. After Senator Sherman had con c1uded his remarks MT. Blaine appeared on the platform and was received with every demonstration of welcome and admiration. When the hall became quiet MT. Blaine made an address in which he complimented MT. Sherman as one of the four or five illustrious men who have admin istered the treasury of the United States. He said the resumption act is continuing II 4o4 H. oe s1 has placed the government finances and the finances of the people upon sound basis And if the resumption act and the great se- ries of financial measures of which it was the fitting climax be benefit to the business in terests of the country, the political influence of the business men of the coun- try certainly belongs to the party which has sustained and enforced it. It was not alone, he said in the financial and business departments which interest every man that the Republican parts has been com pletely successful, but in all the great ave- nues of life, in all that relates to the history and career of great people the twenty three years in which the party has been in power are certainly distinguished beyond any twenty-three years of our history, saving and excepting alone that immortal period which gave to us our liberty and our constitution. In no time certainly have the educational in tarests of the country been so greatly ad- Vaneed. At no time has the charity and the beneyolence of the people been so generously developed as during that period. At no time certainly has Christian charity made such a rapid advance as during the period in which the Republican party has administered this government. EsAt no time within the memory of anyone who does me the honor to hear me has there been so little bigotry in the country then. (Applause.) At no time has there been an relating to the fate and fortune of the government in which upon the same platform for the same end there has been and is so cordial and hearty com munion between Christian, Catholic and He brew as at this time, in this nation, in this city. Great applause.) And certainly that is the great consummation which republic blessed with civil and religious liberty longs for and it will remain the last glory of the Republican party that that consummation has resulted from and been brought about by the wise administration of that party. "(Great applause.)
 Mir. Blaine then took a seat beside the presiding officer and listened to brief re- marks by William M. Evarts and General Fremont. Rabbi Browne was then called on by the chairman, but averred his in ability to speak to an audience who had listened to the ''three greatest Americans of today" Applause ) He remarked that the meeting had more the appearance of a prayer meeting than of political meeting and he would dis miss it with benediction. This he did by repeating in English and Hebrew the familiar invocation ''The Lord preserve and comfort you and lead you on to victory" After more applause for the Republican candidates the meeting dispersed and MT. Blaine re- turned to his hotel
