AT FREMONT.
AT Fremont ex-President Hayes escorted Mr..
Blaine 10 the platform and introduced him to his
friends and neighbors as the king for him, cor
dial reception old friend, and the stan
dard bearer of the Republican party whose sue
cess he believed was essential TO the prosperity
of the country. Mr. Blaine was received with
great demonstrations of applause, and spoke as
follows:
at gives me great pleasure to be thus well
coined TO Fremont and to be introduced by ex-
| President Hayes to his neighbors and friends. L
am glad to have an opportunity to say here that
it was the enyiable fortune of your distinguished
| fellow citizen president of the Uuited States
| to leave the people of the country in far more
prosperous condition at the close of his admin
| istration than that in which he found them on
the day of his Inauguration, and that he steadily
| gained IN public esteem throughout his whole
| term of Office. l thank him and thank you for
| the personal compliment and for its public sig
| nitcance, and ask of you the considerable judg-
| ment which l know You will give to the weight
! of Ohio's voice in October
AT TOLEDO.
Immediately upon arriving at Toledo Mr..
Blaine was escorted by the local committee to
League park, on the outskirts of the city, where
I
! known that Mr.. Blaine had come the people
crowded into the park in large numers, that
in a short time there were probably 10000 in and
| around the enclosure. Mr.. Blaine's appearance
on the stand was the signal for most enthusias-
| tic cheering. Mr.. James N. Brown, chairman
of the county committee, welcomed Mr.. Blaine
in brief speech and introduced him TO the au-
dience. Mr.. Blaine said:
'Mr Chairman and gentlemen: / should at
| any time deem it Improbable to speak diS~s-
specially Of political opponents. 1 should in
my present position deem it altogether
| improper. l should rather be the victim Of
SANDER than the author of it. But there are
some things which do not deem 1t unbecoming
TO me holding the position do, to call your at
tention to. The Republican party has governed
the country for twenty-four years in the spirit
and according TO the measures of a broad nation
atty The progress under our government in
that spirit has far transcribed all the progress
made in all the previous years of the nation s
history. To reward the government now to the
control Of our opponents who do not believe in
the constitutiOnality of the measures which have
given this progress, would be a step backward
into the dark. When we argue the question of
a protective tariff not permitted
to regard it merely as one TO be settled
on the basis of eXpedieDcy, because the large
majority of our opponents hold protective tariff
to be unconstitutional There is not one great
measure that the Republican party has adopted,
nor one great step the party has taken since the
Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861 that
the Democratic party has not opposed al he's
not considered unconstitutional. So that to-day
! to remand the government of the United States
to the control of the Democracy is not merely to
an ordinary change of parties. 1t is a total re-
versal of the policy that has distinguished the
government of the United States since 1861. 1t
is giving to the narrowing dogma of atate rights
the precedence in that grand march which has
been made and which could only be made I'M
der the banner of broad nationality. 1t is on
the great plane that the Republican party has
done me the honor to present me as a candidate
before you. 1t is on that plane, with all that il
implies, that l am before you and before all the
people Of the United States to-day
Judge West followed Mr.. Blaine. His remarks
were loudly appauded. The meeting then al
adjourned, and Mr.. Blaine was driven to the
hotel. Many of the houses along the way were
decorated with Republican flags and banners.
Immediately after dinner he was waited upon by
the local committee and taken to the headquar-
tiers of the Boys in Blue, where he was very
warmly received, He made a few informal re-
marks and then went to the rooms of 1.-The Silver
} Grays," an organization OF gray haired Repubii-
cans, where there was similar scene. Then he
was driven TO the grand stand from which he re-
viewed great torch light procession, many oil
organizations coming from the adjacent country
and some from quite distant towns. The Repub
> | lican demonstration was to have taken place OF
Saturday evening, and its postponement till Mon
day brought it the evening with pre-
arranged Democratic parade, which also was yer!
2 large. The rival professions, between them
seemed to have taken possession of the entire
city, but everything passed off peaceably.
To-DAY's PROGRAMME
The programme is to leave Toledo at o'clocl
on Tuesday and reach Dayton in the evening
making brief stops at intervening places.
