Blaine;s Movements.
XENIA, O., Oct, 3.-At Morrow, Warren coun
ty, Ohio, at the reception to Mr.. Blaine, man
named George Hamilton, an employe of the Penn
sylvania Central & st. Louis Railroad company,
was fatally injured by the premature discharge
of q cannon. Mr.. Blaine and party left Cincinnati
this morning at about 10 O'Clock by special
train on the Little Miami railroad. The crowd at
the depot and the workmen in the shops facing
the track, cheered Mr.. Blaine as the train moved
out.
AT MILFORD,
The first stop was at the little station of Mil
ford, where there was good sized meeting.
Mr.. Blaine warmly received, and he spoke
few words of thanks.
AT MORROW,
in Warren county, there was a fine demonstra-
ton. The party left the train and Mr.. Blaine's
carriage was escorted by the local committee
and troop of mounted plumed knights to
picturesque spot outside of town, where several
thousand people were assembled. The speakers
stand faced a side hill beautifully headed by
large trees, and the form Of the ground made
the audience appear as If seated in a
theater. Judge O'Neall, of Lebanon, introduced
Mr. Blaine, who was received with cheering. He
thanked the people for their kind reception, re-
minded them that Thos. Corwin, one Of the great
champions of the protective system, had repre-
sented Warren county in congress, and ex-
pressed the hope that the earnestness and ardor
of the people in relation to that question would
be great in 1884 as Corwin had made it in
1910. Gen. Swift, of Boston, spoke briefly after
Mr.. Blaine.
AT xENIA.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct 3.-There was a great
turnout at Xenia Mr.. Blaine received by the
local committee and escorted by plumed knights
mounted and on foot, through the principal
streets. Nearly every house was decorated, and
the people in the streets numbered at least as
many as the entire population of the city, there
being very large attendance from the adjacent
country. When the procession reached the
stand Mr. Blaine was received with loud cheer
ing. He was presented to the people by the Rev.
DR.. James Gillespie Carson, prominent Presby
| terrain clergyman of Xenia, and he said:
SPY coincidence which is interesting to me
was here eight years ago this day to address a
Republican meeting in the interest of the cleo
ton of an Ohio statesman to the presi-
dency. The man then elected president
gave way, after an excellent admins tration of
four years to another Ohio statesman, who, after
an agony that touched the sensibilities of the
whole world, sleeps in in honored grave. But
| with these changes some things have remained
permanent, and among these are the foundation
of the principles of the Republican party. They
remain, and the contest for their maintenance
recurs again after four years, and after eight
| years the appeal is again made to the people
of Ohio, who hold to-day, as they held then, the
post of responsibility and the post OF honor-for
the post of responsibility is always the post Of
honor. 1t is for the Republicans OF Ohio TO say
whether the principles which they elected
Hayes and on which they elected Garfield are
still vital and still represent their convictions.
AT SOUTH CHARLESTON.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. AT South Charleston
| Mr.. Blaine left the train and was driven q short
distance to where a large meeting was in pro-
gress, Gov. Long, OF Massachusetts,, being
among the speakers. The regular proceedings
| were suspended in order that Mr. Blaine might
| be presented to the people. He was very warmly
received and spoke q few words in acknowledge
ment of the compliment, but declined to further
interrupt the meeting In this, in all the
gatherings to-day, there were q great many Ia
dies.
AT LONDON.
The demonstration at London was one Of
the most enthusiastic and beautiful
on the whole route. From the station
Mr.. Blaines carriage was escorted by large
troupe of mounted knights" ladies and gen.
tlemen in equal numbers while the procession
moved along between two lines of uniformed
men. members OF local Republican clubs. Across
the street at short intervals were flags and ban
ners, with such inscriptions as Cleveland, Eng
land and Free Trade, "Blaine, America and Pro
lection" Upon the front Of the stand was the
inscription, "London, England, for Cleveland
London, Ohio, for B aine." Mr.. Blaine passed
upon the stand between two lines of little girls
dressed to represent the thirty eight states. The
girls representing Maine and Ohio stood together
by the chair that had been provided
for the distinguished guest When he
was introduced by Hon. John +.
Locke, he was most enthusiastically cheered
lie mounted char so that all the people could
see him, and when the cheering had ceased
said:
