Blaine, Jr., the ladies who accompa-
nied them. Walker Blaine, Murats Hal
sted and General King boarded the
Chicago delegates tug, and were taken
over to Coney Island, opposite which
the Sloan lays. Then the Sloan steamed
up to the quarantine to learn if any
thing had been heard of the City of
Nsa0 York. At 2 O'Clock the
Sioan again dropped down through
the narrows and lay to. off Coney
Island, where those aboard amused
themselves. n. w. johnson, OF Balti-
more, by general consent, was made
master c. ceremonies, and after the
procession up and down the decks with
| various members of the party for short
death OF Sheridan was adopted: then
music by the band and another pro-
cession through the boat, closed the
proceedings, after which the Sloan
steamed back to Stapleton. After
waiting vainly until 8p.m., the Sloan
steamed back, and will try it again to-
morrow. scHsso
The projectors and managers of the
demonstration to Blaine felt that the
delegations from out of town should
not be kept here another day for the
parade: and reviewing stand having
been erected at Madison Square on
Fifth Avenue, it was to- night fully Oc
cupied, and the parade took place.
There is little doubt, however, but that
another demonstration will be held to-
morrow nIght, when Mr.. Blaine will be
here. Although the stand itself
was crowded. the small space that
was set apart FOR the distinguished
guests was kept clear, Tor, al

Levi 2. Morton, candidate fer Vie.

absence of Blaine did not perceptibiy |
