administration of the government those Demo
Gratis have two electoral votes to one for you
freemen of Indiana. If they cast their own vote
and then deprive the colored man from eXercis-
ing the same privilege, don't you see that they
exercise double power over the men of New
York. and Indian and Maine! That is the kind Of
combination that is trying to seize the govern
ment See to it. my friends, that they don't do
J it in Indiana. Cries of we will This is a
/ great State; a prosperous State In twenty
three years of Republican rule 1t has developed
1000 manufactures, whose annual product is
| $3.50, 900, 900. Can any candid and fair man do
otherwise than admit that this enormous growth
and development of the manufacturing interests
is due to the influence and effect of protective
| tariff Do you want it repealed! Do
you want British free trade substitutedF Mr.
Paine then proceeded to discuss the evil effects
of free trade, showing the absurdty of the state
ments and promises made by circulars
of the Golden Club and, concluding,
said "The Republican party says that
a perfect condition of prosperity is the
equal development of agriculture and manufac-
turing, and to bring the market for farm prod
ucts so near the farm that the profit will not be
consumed by cost of transportation
Let Indiana go forward for the next
twenty years as she has in the
last, and even greater results will be attained,
and the time will come when your manufactures
will be extensive that they will consume all
your agricultural products, great as they are If
you want Il continuation and an Increase OF tlS
prosperity vote for the Republican ticket which
is the supporter of the protective system. You
have a free choice; there are 10 shOtguns, no
mobs to intlmdate you and my confidence is
that it will be your pleasure to do what you
think is best for yourselves and your country.
lGreat cheering.
THE DEMONSTRATION AT PERU.
1--WE have nearly twenty thousand people out
to meet you here, Mr. Blaine said Hon. Geo.
I oe4
approached Peru 1t was. not an Gags Grated
statement, for the crowd covered the railway
tracks and side street for several hundred feet
Fortunately the stand was near the train. If it
had been far removed it would have been next
to impossible for anybody to have made his way
through the crowd for any considerable distance
As it was, q score or more of able bodied
officers and committeeman could do but
little in getting safe passage for Mr. Blaine to
the steps, and the crowd surged on after him in
such violent manner as to threaten disastrous
consequences, but fortunately nobody was hurt.
On the platform were two companies of misses
and little girls, gaily attired and carrying bou-
quets. Something like order was restored after
much trouble and Mr.. Blaine was presented to
the people by Mr.. Tyner, and prefaced his short
advocacy of protective tariff with the follow
ing: "In every national campaign Indiana has
the post of honor. There has not
been national campaign for twenty
years in which the vote of Indiana did not have
exceptional Importance. 1t has that now, be-
cause it is the intention of the Democratic party
to unite it with the vote of the consolidated
/ South, and thus turn the government over to the
control of those who, twenty years ago, We're its
btterest enemies" In discussing the increased
prosperity of the country since the Republican
party came into power, Mr. Blaine added
Even your own city has more than doubled in
population within the last fifteen years, and last
year its manufacturing industries paid out in
wages alone $45O,OO0. You don't want anything
done that will impair their operations,
do youl You don't want them to be shut down
and yourselves to be thrown out of employment,
do you, by the introduction into this country of
the iniquitous system of British free tradel i
is almost needless for me to tell you that the
Democratic party is the supporter of that sys-
tenn in this country, and that a vote for that
party will be a vote against your own interests
and those of your city and country"
THE MONSTER DEMONSTRATION OF THE TRIP.
Great Heavensl" was the ejaculation of one
of the party, the train drew up to Logansport:
''Here ave ten acres Of people," The dimensions
of the crowd may not have been so large as this,
but numerically it was immense. Various esti-
mates We're made of it, the lowest 10000 and
the highest $4,000 Opposite the Panhandle
shop a large stand had been erected, at the foot
of long incline which was covered with hui
manity. Mr. Blaine and the entire party went
to the stand while the train went away to be
reversed, and did not come back for thirty five
minutes.
Mr. Blaine was introduced by Col. Bringhurst.
and spoke for ten minutes on the tariff, begin
ming by saying
"The great issue of this campaign is that Of
protection All other questions have dropped
by the wayside The Republican party has al
ways been the steadfast aud persistent defender
of that doctrine, The Democratic party has as
steadily opposed it, and favored free trade No
man need vote in doubt on this question. In In
diana every uoter is free man. would that
