BLAINE'S TALK AT MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25.-At Racine
junction Mr.. Blaine left the train and
was driven through the city, meeting his
train at the regular depot, where there
was large crowd. A stand had been
erected, but Mr.. Blaine stepped on the
rear seat of his carriage and made a few
remarks. He was loudly cheered. 1t
was about 1890 o'clock when the
train reached the city. Here MIR. Blaine
was transferred to a carriage and driven
in procession, escorted by body Of
plumed knights, to the large exposition
building on the west side. The exposition
building, said to hold 10000 people, was
filled. He waited for the demonstration
to subside and then said:
CITIZENS OF WIsCoNSIN-The Republican
party had its birth in the Northwest aud there
it has always found steady support. lCheers.l
formed from the old Northwest Territory rep
resent to-day a great empire. In the past 25
years its wealth has trebled. In the next 25
years, with protective tariff IN operation,
its wealth will increase in even greater ratio.
L do not come here at this late day in the
national campaign to argue any question.
THE BLOODY SHIRT.
l came merely to recite historic facts and
let you draw the inferences. But the pro-
tective tariff has found its steady friend in the
Republican party. 1t has found its steady foe
in the Democratic party. Under the pr0teC-
tive system agriculture, manufactures and
commerce have flourished in an equal degree,
and the question now before the voters of
Wisconsin, the question before the voters OF
the nation, is whether that system
sha be abandoned or whether con-
tinued. Sixteen States of the South
remains to be seen whether sufficient strength
can be hal from the North to hand over the
government to the dominion of free trade, and
the South, ,and as the Republican party had its
birth in the Northwest, we come to you now
for rebaptsm IN the original faith
and for added strength to the prestige
OF OF the party, do not believe
l am sure that OhIo-thOse great component
members of the old Northwest Territory I do
not believe that any of them can be induced
to undo the work which they began in 1854. |
do not believe that the free arms and the free
hearts of the great free Northwest can ever
be used to turn the government over to the
men who sought its destruction.
In that faith l greet you, in that faith |
leave you'll that faith thank you profound
lv for the reception which Is proportional 10
the grandeur of your empire and the warmth
of your hearts.
The procession was then formed to es-
cOrt Blaine to the depot.
