way leading from the railroad to the
level bluff on which he city stands was
Ii ed with men, women and children,
and when Blaine came out of the depot
and was driven towards the hotel, he
received cheer after cheer. The Office
and corridors Of the hotel were crowded,
and, "a at other places, there were
policemen present TO clear the way
ana keep order. Blaine went
ut once to his room. but
was soon called out by the Young Mems
Republican cub, who came to pay their
respects. He received them from the
hotel balcony. In response to repeated
demands for 4 speech, Blaine said: AZ
thank you for this cordial welcome to
Cleveland, a city that l always visit
with pleasure and leave with regret. !
thank the young men who do me the
honor to call upon me so promptly. i
think it hopeful and encouraging sign
that, in the year 1884, the young men of
the United States, more than at any
time have known, are takingan active
and prominent part in the national con-
test. 1 augur from it good results.
Again l tender you my thanks for the
very kind reception you have given me,
and bid you good night" (Cheers.)
Before 8 o'clock Monumental park,
opposite the Federal building, and the
stand from which Blaine was expected
to review the procession, was densely
packed and thousands were going away
disappointed, because they could not
find standing room in sight of the
stand. At 7.30 Blaine was escorted by
the local committee to the Federal
building, where considerable number
of ladies and gentlemen were presented
to him. While he was awaiting the pro-
cession for a few minutes, he stood
surrounded by friends at the
window and looked out. Some
one outside recognized him and
shouted his name. Immediately there
were general and urgent cries OF
"Blaine!" and he was forced to retire to
an inner room until the time should
arrive for him to appear on the stand.
About 10 o'clock Blaine and Mr.. Logan,
accompanied by Ex-Governor Foster,
ex-senator Hamlin and other distin-
guished gentlemen, went out to the
there uncovered, while the people
cheered and yelled and made all
kinds of enthusiastic demonstrations.
By this time, not merely the park, but
all the different streets adjacent, were
filed with surging mass of hu-
manity, and when the procession
began to force its way through,
the scene became exciting and
alarming because there were many
ladies and considerable number of old
and very large number of young peo-
pie in the crowd, and it seemed
likely that some of them would be
thrown down and crushed. However
nothing of that kind occurred,
and the procession slowly made
its way through, and was still
passing and being received by the candi-
dates at 11.30 o'clock. It is said that
about 1900 people from the interior
towns came in for this occasion
and some of the clubs taking
part in the procession came
from places seventy miles distant. Be-
fore the review began, Logan spoke
briefly at one OF the stands and speeches
were made by several other gentlemen.
After the review, Blaine and his son,
Walker, went to the house of Mrs. Gar
field, whose guests they are to be until
Monday next. Tomorrow, Blame, and
possibly Logan, will visit EIyria, which
is forty minutes by rail from Cleveland,
returning to the city late in he after
noon.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 26.-It Is
probable that Blaine's visit TO Indiana
will be postponed. A committee of Re-
publicans leave for Cleveland in the
morning to meet Mr.. Blaine, to
confer with him and endeavor
| to arrange his visit st later date,
when he may possibly visit other points
of the State besides. The city council
will probably follow suit at its next
meeting.
Tonight there were three more in
cendiary fires in the business blocks,
but no great loss.
