 NEW YORK, Oct 28.-At 7:25 this evening MT. Blaine's arrival in the city brought to an end his tour of the leading towns of New York State. At Susquehanna the train was no sooner at a stand still than it was sur rounded by perhaps five thousand people, nearly all the shops in town being closed, making the event a general holiday. A little Irish girl presented Mir. Blaine with a bou- quet was rewarded with a kiss This was loudly cheered. The Republican candidate spoke of Pennsylvania as being his native State and that whenever he was at a loss for strong argument in favor of protection he pointed to the f1ourishing industries of Pennsylvania. Lawrence Harmon, who was last year the Democratic candidate for attorney general of Illinois, but now a Republican, made few subsequent re- marks At Deposit about five thousand peo- pie, including many ladies, welcomed MT. Blaine, who repeated his previous speech. At Narrowsburg and Lackawaxen large crowds were awaiting the appearance of the distinguished tourists At the latter place superb banner was suspended over the track inscribed FfLackawaxen welcomes James G. Blaine" At Port Jervis MT. Blaine changed the tenor of his remarks to glowing tribute to the greatness of the railroad industry and Senator Warner Miller briefly addressed the Mi111afo1ry,, ia111- tura1 dairy center Mr Blaine adapted his ideas to these matters and for some minutes entertained a vast throng by rehearsing the benefits of a protective tariff. He said that he had everywhere seen the Republican party united and strong and he hoped to find the same condi- tion of things in New York city no stalwarts, no half breed, but everywhere Republicans.

Butcher supplemented his leaders address by saying that while the Democrats allege that there was too great & surplus in the treasury let them but get con- trol of our politics and there would be no surplus at all.

Blaine only bowed his acknowledgements to the applause that went up from the throngs of enthusiastic people amid the flying of flags and the booming of cannon. Paterson was reached at 6 p. nl., and here not less than twenty thousand people had assembled and were so tumultuous and eager in their homage to their visitors that Mr. Blaine, who had intended to make protracted address, found it impossible to hear his own voice. Considerable time elapsed before Hon. William Walter Phelps secured si- fence, when MT. Blaine called the attention of his hearers to the necessity of looking after the election of their con gressmen. At Passaic, Mayor Bold w, Spencer, amid the blaze of fireworks, intro duced the candidate, who spoke briefly. At Rutherford similar programme was ob- served. Among the amusing occurrences ot the trip was the confusion that resulted from an extraordinary resemblance between Mr. Blaine and Senator Lyons of St. Law renee, who was hailed as the Republican leader whenever he showed his face. At Elnnira the people were confident that he was MT. Blaine that in their enthusi- asm the Senator was taken to the hotel i'll a carriage drawn by several hundred men. The excellent train service and arrangements at the stations along the Erie road were hearti- ly commended by the committee and all those on board the special train.
