possible, more interesting than the first.
He left Syracuse at 0 o'clock, and nd.
dressed n few non.partisan remarks TO {,

agricultural fairs at Baldwinsvile and

from afl the country for so miles about tho
places, many OF them leaving their homes
before daylight in order to reach tho rail.

town, factory, hamlet and neatly every
house on the route was decorated. The
gardcn spot OF tho Empire State was in
holiday attire. AT Auburn 5000 peo-
pie welcomed Blaine. At every
stopping place the booming Of can.
nous hcralded the arrival Of the
train. Rochester was stirred 10 It's foun-
lations. Fifty Thousand people turned
out to greet Mr.. Blaine. He spoke from
tao Court House steps. The greatest
triumph of &his phenomenal progress
through New York was at Buffalo, Grover
Clcyelands home. Six thousand men
hand lsomely uniformed and armed with
tinming torches met Mr.. Blaine ut the
station and escorted him through
the city. The streets for miles were
densely packed from tho fences to
the middle Of the roadway. The carriages
could scarcely force passage. The pro-
ccssion marched for three hours and then
left Mr.. Blaine nt therhotel. The crowd
remained about the hotel cheering and
singing Blaine songs till long after mid.
night. Buffalo never witnessed such
demonstration before.

greatest outpourng OF people to u politi.

deal Of party history to crowd into one
day, but these were crowded into ycstcr-
day, or rather solidifed into one event.
When with this occurs such u popular
ovation to a candidate as that. which Gen.
Logan received all day yesterday, on the
street, on the platform and at the house
where he is guest, and in addition SO
notable a speech to SO remarkable an au-
dience as that ut the Opera House last
night it might be declared with reason
that one day could not hold more OF glory
and enthusiasm. 5r
