FROM CLEVELAND TO EIYRII

CLEVELAND, Sept. 27.-At about 1880
Mr.. Blaine came down from Mrs. Garfeld's
house to the Kennard, where he remained
in his parlor receiving callers until he went
to the depot to take the special train. for
Elyria at 1 o'clock. On this short trip he
was accompanied by ex-Gov. Foster, Hon.
Amos Townsend, NJ. Hanna, Judge Foraker,
Hon. A. W. Tenney, of Brooklyn, Hon. w.
Bingham, president of the BusinessmeD's
club of Cleveland, and others. In the party
were also Mayor Gates, of Elyria, who had
come to escort Mr.. Blaine, Judge West, the
blind orator of Ohio, and Mr. Blaine's son
Emmons, who had come from Cedar Rapids
to meet his father. AS the train
moved slowly out of the city it
passed the works of the Lake Erie company,
where remarkable scene occurred. A few
of the workers outside the shops cheered, and
Mr.. Blaine, at the suggestion of Mr.. Hanna,
of the state committee, appeared on the rear
platform. AS he did so large body of men
came running out of the shops and rushed
forward, shouting and cheering, to shake
hands with Mr.. Blaine. They were evidently
genuine working men, with bare breasts and
arms, and sweating and begrimed faces.
Mr.. Blaine leaned forward, holding out his
hand, and said: "How are you boys!" The
men shouted back: ''Blaine, Blaine. We're
Blaine to a man." Then they cheered again,
and the handshaking continued until the
train started.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, was on the
train when 1t arrived at Elyria at a quarter
before o'clock. The pretty little town was
crowded with its own citizens and people
from the surrounding country, and the jam
at the depot was so great that there was diff
ficulty in getting to the carriages, there was
a meeting in progress at the court house
square which was about to be addressed by
Secretary Window. When Mr.. Blaine got
upon the stand the people cheered him re-
peatedly. He was introduced by Mr.. c. W.
Johnson, the chairman of the county COM
mittee, and he spoke as follows:
''Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen OF
the county of Lorraine: This is not my first
visit to your beautiful county. l recall with
great pleasure previous visit. when l was
met as cordially as 1 am to-day, and knew
of your county years before had the pleas
ure of seeing it, for who does not know OF
the advanced stand and the great leader
ship which the county of Lorraine took in the
prolonged anti-slavery struggle. 1t wa:
your sturdy citizens and the great institution
at Oberlin that disseminated those princi
pies of freedom, which made this northwes
tern country the vanguard in the contest
with slavery. That contest ended in victory
and another is now committed to YOU
charge, and to-day in an emphatic sense tc
| the leadership Of Ohio. That is-all othel
questions laid aside--shall Americon labol
be protected! During the tendency of the
anti-slavery struggle, there was no side
issue that could divert the anti-slavery mel
! of the western reserve from the one grea
absorbing question, and 1 believe that The
same discipline of mind prevails now, and
that no side issue will be permitted to diver
| you from the controlling question of the cam
paign. 1 thank you, gentlemen, for you
reception and consider that have only in
dicatedthe subject upon which others vii
address you, while 1 bid you very cOrdia
| farewell.
Judge West made brief speech, and wa
followed by ex-Secretary Window. and Mr.
Tenney.
Mr.. Blaine and party returned to Cleve
