Republicans Waiting for Blaine
IN New York Harbor but
Disappointed.
Music, Song and t.loquence, Love
and Enthusiasm Strong but
the Reception Delayed.
Waiting for Blaine,


6.-The crowds who went down the
bay to meet Mr.. Blaine and welcome
him home again to-day were dissp-
pointed. After spending the morning
moored to the Sam Sloan's pier at
Cortlandt street aud the afternoon
cruising around Fort Hamilton and
Sandy Hook they returned to the city
without accomplishing their, purpose,
but with their enthusiasm and affec-
ton for the representative statesman
still unabated. They will return to
their quest ut 7 O'Clock tomorrow
morning, when II Is expected that the
City of New York will be at qusran-
tine waiting for them. 1t is not un.
usual that new steamship fails on
her first trip to make her guaranteed
time. New machinery seldon does
its dutywhen first put into motion
and without taking into account the
murky weather which has prevailed
for the last few days and must have
been attended with heavy outside fogs
IL would not be at all remarkable for a
new ship to be a day late. The sail
down the bay was cool and pleasant,
and IL was animated on board the re.
oeption steamer by the music of the
band, by songs and speeches. The
impromptu mass meeting at Clifton,
S. l., developed good deal Of witty
and ready oratory. There is to be no
special change in the program to-mor-
row for Mr.. Blalne's reception except
that the boat will leave her pier at the
early hour of 7 o'clock. In other re-
spects the arrangements decided upon
for today will be adhered to tomorrow.
The parade will take place tomorrow
evening If Mr.. Blaine reaches his
hotel during the day. of course IL may
be that the City of New York will be
further delayed, but IL II reaches Fire
Island early enough to enable the re.
publican club to get Mr.. Blaine in its
possession in time to witness the pre-
cession, the march will be started.
