on the regular 9 O'Clock train for Springfield.
From Springfield he win 90 by special train
making a short stop a; Worcester.
PALMER, Nov. 3.-The Blaine reception at
Springfield was very fine, fully 10000 people
were on the streets, through which the pro-
cession passed to the public square.
Blaine was introduced by Col.
Metcalf, Of Springfield, and was loudly
cheered. He congratulated the people upon
so large and demoustrative a manifestation
OF the Republican strength of Massachusetts
Being somewhat hoarse Blaine excused him
self from speaking further and gave way, he
said, 10 some one whose voice could reach
the crowd. There were calls for Gov. Robin
son, but he did not respond. Senator Hale
was introduced and made a few remarks,
saying if Blaine could not he heard to-day he
could be felt. At 40 the train reached
Palmer and was greeted by salute from the
whistles of several engines.
BosToS, Nov. Son arriving at Worces-
ter Mr.. Blaine was escorted TO a stand erected
near the track, and introduced by SenOtor
HOar, Mr.. Blaine spoke as follows,
Il never more sincerely re-
GREETED the impairment of my
voice than al this moment, that
might make fitting response to the most
cordial and most eloquent greeting which
your distinguished chairman has given me.
l crave the power of expression that 1 might
say to him in the presence
of Worcester audience that
his presentation Of the peoples cause in
this campaign constitutes the political litera-
ture of 1884. He knows how profoundly
thank him, and l know better than he knew
the full reason 1 have for gratitude. The
campaign is over, with all that has been
pleasant in 1t, with all that has been IN
pleasant, with all that has been important
with all that has been unimportant. II
closes to-day, and even though it might
sound like the voice of egotism, | am proud
to declare, here in the heart Of the common
wealth of Massachusetts, that not in a single
instance has any poisoned shaft reached me
here Qaying his hand over his hearty, and
return 10 my home not with less, but with
a greater appreciation of the grandeur, the
nobility and the justice of the American peo-
pie. To that people, of which Massachusetts
I
part, and submit with the cause l am called
to represent whatever Of personal fortune
have at stake calmly, without anxiety and
with an abundant readiness to accept with
eheerfulness whatever may be the verdict of
the geeat popular tribunal.
Gov. Robinson followed, and spoke very
briefly. As the train moved of there was
another salute from the steam whistles and
cheers from the crowd, and general rush of
| people nearest the train to shake hands with
Blaine.
/ At Natick there was very large crowd on
the station platform which was composed OF
Butler men who cheered repeatedly for their
! candidate. Blaine spoke briefly TO the people
nearest him, expressing regret thai
/ be could not utter with q full voice
his thanks to the Republicans of Massachu-
sets for their vigorous and, as he hoped,
victorious campaign. The crowd at New
tons was immense. Blaine was escorted to
a large platform erected beside the depot anC
was introduced, but just he was about L
speak the platform broke down. For min
ute or two there was good deal of excite
ment, but Mr.. Blaine sprang upon tn,
platform and exclaimed: There il
is always enough left of a Republican plat
form to stand upon. This treasured tn,
crowd, aud Mr. Blaine went on to say, tina
he was consOled for the bad condition of hi
voice by the reflection that the time for dis
cussion was past. The verdict to be rem
dered tomorrow he awaited camly, and witt
a reasonable degree of confidence.
1t was about $50 p. m. when the train
reached Boston. In the depot there was a
very large crowd, who cheered loudly fo
Blaine. There was also some cheering fo
Cleveland from one portion of the crowd
and, AS the carriage, containing Blaine
Lieut. Gov. Ames and Henry Cabot Lodge
moved off a number of small boys raj
after 1t and Kissed. while the large crowd
Of people in the streets eheered. Blaine wa
then driven rapidly to the Hotel Brunswick
arriving shortly after $3.50. The Sidewalk
and steps in front Of the hotel and the side
walks on the other side of the avenue wer
crowded with men and boys, who cheeret
Blaine as he entered, leaning upon Lodge
arm. EmmOns Blaine joined the party a
Newton. The other members of the family
with the exception of Miss Hattie Blaine
who met her father at the hotel, arrived
few minutes later than Blaine, who wen
Immediately TO his apartments.
BosToN. Nov. 3. At the dinner givel
Blame this evening at the Hotel Brunswick
were more than two hundred guests. Amon
A. W. Bird, r. Worthington, E. Mcpherson
c. A. Barton, ]. w. Condler, r. r. Bishop
and G. A. Marsden. II was about s o'cloc
when Henry Cobalt Lodge, who presided
called the company to order. He said as Mr.
Blaine was to review great torch light pro
cession there would not be any genera
speaking, but he knew those present woul'
be greatly disappointed If they did not heal
from the distinguished guest of the evening
When Blaine rose to respond he was hearth
cheered. When order was restored he said
Mr.. Chairman and gentleman, for rea
sons which l need not stop to detail
a reception OF this character in the city o
Boston at the close of q national campaign i
peculiarly grateful to me, and thank Mr.
Lodge for giving me the opportunity +
thank you. It is too late to argue or ever
state the great issued involved in the canvas
which closes tonight, but am sure thes
issues constitute difference between parties
and so deep that their decision one way o
the other will affect for veal or wo.the histor
of the United States for many years to come
am sure the great constitutions
amendments which have grow
out of the civil struggle, and whic
have in so many respects, l might say
changed the very frame work of our govern
ment, have been made by the Republican
} party, and are held in its keeping; an
as have frequently said elsewhere, her
now to repeat, that to transfer the politics
power of the country to the Democratic part
at this time would by no means be one {
those ordinary transfers Of the governmen
from one party to another which the gray
haired men in nv view witnessed man
years ago. It would not be merely a case
one party going out and another coming i
II would be rather reversa
and oyerturning Of the great organi
