 BROOKLYN, Oct 30.-Despite the wet weather to-day thousands of citizens turned out to welcome MT. Blaine to this city. About 2:30 o'clock he was driven to the Mansion House where a large crowd had as- sembled to greet him. After shaking hands and receiving congratulations from two thousand people the candidate was driven to the Academy of Music where the ladies of the city gave him reception. The hall was crowded with most enthusiastic and fash ionable audience. The stage was canopied and festooned with national colors. MT. Blaine's appearance on the stage was the signal for general uprising of the audience with clap ping of hands and waving of handkerchiefs. The meeting was called to order by Rev. MT. Behemeds of the Central Congregational church. MT. Beherneds made a short address
 
 responded, thanking the ladies for the warm reception and speaking of their influence in the campaign. MT. Blaine said the interest taken by the ladies in this campaign had inn pressed him as he had travelled through vari ous States. The Republican party certainly owed great deal to the women of the United States. He wished to say that the people felt very grateful to the lady with the gifted pen who had written s'Uncle Toms Cabin.'' Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe occupied a chair with number of ladies in private box and cheers were given for her by the audience. ''That settles Beecher,' D some one in the au- dience shouted, causing much laughter. The reception lasted about an hour, when MT. Blaine was driven to the residence of S. N. White where he dined.
 At 7:30 D. m. Mir. Blaine was driven from Deacon Whites residence to the Academy of Music, where another audience had assem- bled filling the building to it's utmost capac- ity The number of ladies present would have been surprising in any city except Brooklyn and was remarkable even there, considering the pouring rain. District At torney Penney first introduced General John c. Fremont, who remarked that he felt like an old flag which after having been carried on hotly contested but victorious fields was now borne about as a memorial of former triumphs. He was not present to make speech and would introduce his friend MT. Blaine As he did so there was great ap- plause, which grew louder as Rev. Edward Beecher stepped forward, grasped MT. B1aine's hand and escorted him to the front of the platform.
 MT. Blaine, when the applause had subsid-- ed, said:
 AeIau to he followed bv my distinoruished friend Senator Sherman, take it only as my duty of the ecs that ea gre are follow from 1ctor in the pending eadmpagIgn& g & What t is to be assured which was brought back to par. with gold by my distinguished friend then the eminent Secretary of the Treasury will be held at that point (Applause) In the next place that system of duties which af lords encouragement and protection alike to the tafned In the next place just system of settle ment the public lands and the conservation held (Applause) And fourth, that, munifcent and magnificent system of pensions which has rewarded the vaor and bravery of our soldiers will be retained and if need be further beralized (applause) And fifth that encouraging improve met the civil service of the United States will be continued and further developed as experience shall point the way (applausel And in that con without intending to speak nvidiously of any other party in the United States past or present. is the only one that ever had the courage to limit their own political power lgreat apPlausel The Republi- can party did not gain power by struggle for re. patronage larger and grander than imperial sway ever controlled they voluntarily abandoned its ref rreform sr1li within their own party which

 Senator Sherman and other speakers ad- dressed the audience. Almost before the | Senator had begun his financial argument ! MT. Blaine was on his way to the Brooklyn Grand Opera House where an audience as | large as the theatre would hold was assem- | bled. Assistant Pastor Holiday of | Plymouth church was 8 conspicuous occupant of the platform here, and as was also the case at the Academy of Music, the | familiar faces of many members of Plymouth | church could be observed, which might per | haps be said, however, of most large gather | ings in Brooklyn. After several minutes | applause upon Mr. Blaine's entry silence was
 restored by MT. Halliday waving his hand il
 deprecating way and Mir. Blaine was intro | duced. He said
 Ladies and gentlemen-The Republican party hae
 it's origin in combination of patriotic men thirty
