Gen. Fremont introduced and was cor
daily received. James r. Depcw spoke briefly
when the party returned 20 the trrin.
As the train moved of the clubs aud people on
the streets cheered heartily. the most eonspieu-

The run to Meriden vas made
rapidly. There was very large

and 1880 she had increased her wealth as much
as in all the p ecedng years OF her history, while
for more tE4n half century the Democratic

| who really desired the maintenance Of the
protective tariff whatever his party utilization in
the past, ought to stand now by the Republican
party. While on the other hand every man who
wished for free traae should vote for the Demo
Gratis. The point. made in favor Of maintaining
the tariff we're loudly applauded.
Again at Wallingford he spoke a few words in
the same vein. The train arrived in New Haven
at , 80 o'clock.
At New Haven Mr.. Blaine made the following
address,
There has been placed in my hands since my
arrival in New Haven address from the cier-
men IN this city expressing their confidence. aud

ance that in matters OF public right, in matters

United States who would make a disrespectful
allusion TO another mans religion. The United
States guarantees freedom Of religious opinion,

country Tor the past twenty-Ihree years the ad-
vantage of a protective tariff. There is not .
man within the sound Of my voice, there is not a
man in Connecticut, there Is not a man IN New
England, there is not man in the United states
who is not directly indirectly interested in the
