ELAINE INDIANA.

Candidate Appears.
 LoGANsPoRT, Ind, Oct. 21.-Mr. Blaine I left Fort Wayne at S:45 this morning for Indianapolis and intervening points. In the party accompanying him were Senator Har- I rison, Hon. William Mckinley of Ohio and ! Hon. John O. New, chairman of the Indiana Republican State Central committee. At Huntington, a small town, there was large l crowd who cheered MT. Blaine heartily when 1 he appeared on the rear platform. He spoke [ briefly, urging the great importance to In { diana of having the protective policy con tinued At Wabash he left the train and was driven to platform from which he made ! another brief speech in the same vein. The I meeting here was large and the people were very enthusiastic.
 INDIANAPOLIS, OS 21.-Mr. Blaine's ad- vent here to-day was the occasion of perhaps the greatest political demonstration ever wit messed in the hoosier capital. Scores of ex- cursion trains emptied into the city not less than fifty thousand people. Of these proba- bly, five thousand were from Ohio, Spring field sending it's plug hat brigade of two thousand and Dayton, Xenia and Fontaine being represented by large delegations. MT. Blaine's train did not reach the city until 4:30. All along the line there had
 been great gatherings at every stopping place. Mr. Blaine was met between n Noble and Washington streets and escorted toMilitaryPark where he addressedas many of the crowd about one hundred thousand in
 number as could hear his voice. He was introduced by Governor Porter and spoke as follows:
 feel that such magnificent reception S Ihave had in the capital of Indiana should no
 be spoiled by speech but that I should, be content to give to you as do my profound and heartfelt thanks. Cries of "Speech!'' 'sSpeech!'0 In no State of the Union and no city of the Union could such a reception have been more grateful to me. We stand on the eve of an important national election and an election in whose decision Indiana will pronounce her potential voice. She is looked to by our opponents as she has been in former years as an ally to the solid South and as against her sister States of the North for since the election in West Vir- ginia the Democratic party counts upon a solid vote in the South. But may be per mitted to express the opinion that no more unpatriotic thing can be imagined than for northern men to urge the southern States to a continued qualification of the memories of ! the rebellion (applause). It has been the | aim and desire of the Republican party not only to develop the material interests of the South and to make them forget and the na- ton forget that we ever had been foesi but also to make them feel that we are common citizens living under a common union and government But our opponents meet us with an entirely different course of action and they invoke instead of the memories of the Union the prejudices Of the rebellion in their aid and they ask that New York and Indiana shall join the unholy alliance and turn the government over to the South. I do not believe it can be done. l do not believe Indiana will do that under it's present leadership any more than it would Lo,r f fba1 1aaAp of P. Morton. Cheers and applause.) The triumph of that element in this country means the triumph of free trade; it means the destruction of protective tariff; it means the breaking down of the great industrial system of our country which has enriched the United States so mar vellously in the past twenty-three years and which has enriched your State in her equal degree with other States Indiana has grown into great commonwealth, great in her pop ulation, great in her enterprises, great in her results. Not even known beyond her bor- ders as a manufacturing State when the Re- publican party came into power in 1861, she now turns out in single year $150 000 900 worth of manufactured prod ucts and therefore with this increased
 dependencies as it has been heretofore pro- tective tariff is now of the highest interest to every citizen. The State that combines
 manufacture and agriculture attains the ideal
 of industry, and as I have said before to-day,
 I can remember myself-and am not an
 old man-in my native State of Pennsyl-
 vania when Governor Clymer was laughed at
 for saying that the day would come when
 Pennsylvania would not be able to supply
 breadstuffs and provisions to the miners on
 the mountains and the manufacturers
 in her towns. Yet that day has
 come and gone and Pennsylvania first
 wheat State as late as 1850-depends for
 large proportion of her grain stuff upon the

 ly develop manufacturing enterprises until
 she can consume her own agricultural prod
 ucts she will attain to ideal prosperity and
 she can do that only under protective
 tariff. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, the issue is in your hands. You are freemen, you have free ballot, but in the South we have half million of . friends who South to-day has thirty seven electors based upon the vote of the colored men and yet the colored men of the South half million in number-cannot elect sin power of the white men in the South politi.. icaIly is greatly increased over the power of the white men in Indiana or in Maine Now for the time being we will not argue the ne- gro suffrage, but submit as fair proposi- tion to every man in the land that if the South gets thirty-seven electors by
 reason of her colored vote the ne, gro himself ought to be allowed to cast a ballot (applause.) The issue is in your hand. Indiana, as I said at the beginning, will speak a potential voice and from the great popular demonstration have witnessed since crossed the borders of your
 State, know, feel, am sure that upon the I ground of patriotism and upon the ground of enlightened self-interest Indiana may be re- | lied upon to maintain protective tariff and as an instrumentality thereto Republican bal ! lot. Applause and cheers).
