Blaine at the Exposition.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 2.-Mr. Blaine
breakfasted late this morning. Long
before he was accessible the hotOl halls
and corridors were crowded with people
attracted here by his presence and that
of General Logan. As soon as
Mr.. Blaine's rooms were opened callers
began TO pour in and the pressure con-
tinued all the forenoon. Several delega-
tions called to pay their respects, one
from the Irish-American Republican
League who presented resolutions and
assurances of support, one repre-
senting the Republicans of Tennessee,
one sent to urge Mr.. Blaine to visit the
Louisville Exposition and one repre-
senting the Jewish element. At 1910
Mr. Blaine was escorted to the chamber
of commerce, where he was very warm
ly received, being introduced by Captain
w. w. Peab )dY, president. Mr.. Blaine
said: Gentlemen, quite appreciate
the personal courtesy and compliment

parties receiving me thus cordially In
