good / am very glad to meet this vast

who have come here to see and to hear
and to give friendly greeting and old
fashioned Ohio welcome to James G.
Blaine" Enthusiastic cheers
Four miles further, at MonroeVIlle, the
special train was switched on to the Bal
timore s. Ohio road for Sandusky. At
the station there was another large en-
thusiastic crowd, who demanded
speech. MIR. Blaine spoke few pleas
ant words of acknowledgement and
shook hands with some of the people.
Sandusky was reached at little before 1
o'clock. and the party we're driven in
carriages to the court house square,
where there was very large meeting.
At SanduskY Mr.. Blaine spoke of the
great changes wrought since his first
visit to the city IN 1S4S, and reminded
the people that the greater part of this
progress had been made under Repub-
lican administration.
Ex-Presldent Hayes followed in a
brief speech on the tariff question.
AT FREMONT
eX-PFesident Hayes escorted Mr.. Blaine
to the platform and introduced him 20
his friends and neighbors, asking for
him cordial reception as an old friend
and as the standard bearer of the Re-
publican party, whose success he be-
lieVed was essential TO the prosperity of
the country. Mr.. Blaine was received
with great demonstrations of applause,
and spoke as follows: ait gives me
great pleasure to be thus well
coined TO Fremont, and to be III
troduced by ex-President Hayes to his
neighbors and friends. l am glad to
have the opportunity to say here that it
was the enviable fortune of your distin--
guished fellow citizen, as president of
the United States, to leave the people of
| the country IN a far more prosperous
| condition at the close of his administra-
ton than that which he found them on
| the day of his Inauguration, and that he
| steadily gained in public esteem through
| out his whole term of Office. l thank
HIM and thank you for this personal
compliment and for its public siguifi-
| canoe, and l ask of you the consIderate
| judgment of which know you Will give
the weight of Ohio's voice in October.
Enthusiastic cheerlng] Immediately
| upon arriving
AT TOLEDO.
Mr.. Blame was escorted by the local
committee to League park, on the out
skirts of the city, where a meeting was
| in progress. As soon as 1T was known
that Mr.. Blaine had come, the people
| crowded Into the park in large numbers,
/ 50 that in q short time there were prob
ably 10000 in and around the enclosure.
Mr.. Blaine's appearance upon the stand
was the signal for most enthusiastic
cheering. He said: MIR. Chairman and
| gentlemen-If l should at any time
think it profitable TO speak disrespect-
fully of pOliticalsoppOneuts, / should in
my present position deem 1t altogether
improper. should rather he the vic
tim of SANDER than the author of it.
[Great cheering.l But there are some
things which l do not deem it unbecom-
Il
do, to call attention to. The
Republican party has governed the
| country for twentY-four years IN the
spirit and according to the measures of
broad nationality. The progress under
our government in that spirit has far
| transcribed all the progress made in all
| the previous J ears of the nations histo-
ry. Applause. To remand the govern
ment now to the control OF our Oppo-
nents, who do not believe ia the constI-
nationality of the measures which have
given this progress, would be a step
backward into the dark. Enthusiastic
applause and shouts of correct, cor
rect"l When we argue the question of
| protective tariff We are not permitted
| to regard il merely as one to be settled
on the basis of expediency, becuse the
large majority of our opponents hold a
protective tariff to be unconstitutional.
There Is not one great measure that the
Republican party has adopted, nor one
step the party has taken since the inaug-
| uration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861 that
the Democratic party has not opposed,
and has not considered unconstitutional,
That's SO. So that to-day to remand
the government of the United States to
the control of the democracy is not
merely an ordinary change of parties, it

that has distinguished the government
of the United Stntes since 1861. Re-
newed applause. 1t is giving to the
narrowing dogma of state rights the
precedence in that grand march
which has been made, and which
could only be made under the
banners of broad nationality. That's
right, and cheers 1t is on that great
plan that the Republican party has done
me the honor to present as a candidate
before you. IApplause.l 1t Is on that
plan, with ali that it implies, that am
cefore you and before all the people OF
the United States to-day. Enthusiastic
cheering.
Judge West followed Mr.. Blaine. His
remarks were loudly applauded. The
meeting then adjourned.
| Immediately alter dinner Blaine was
waited upon by the local committee and
taken to the headquarters OF the boys in
blue, where he was very warmly re-
ceiYed He made few informal re-
n arks and then went to the rooms of the
"Silver GraYs." an organization of gray
haired Republicans, where there was q
similar scene Then he was driven TO
the grand stand, from which he re-
viewed a great torchlight procession
This Republican demonstration was to
have taken place on Saturday evening
and its postponement until Monday
brought it on the same evening with q
prearranged Democratic parade, which
was also very large. The rival process
sions between them seemed TO have
taken possession of the entire city. The
programme is TO leave Toledo at
O'Clock on Tuesday and reach Dayton in
the evening, making brief stops at inter.
vening places.
The Advance of Blaine.
DAYTON, Sept. 30.-Nothing could ex
coed the enthusiasm of the demonstra
ton at Dayton, the home of the Repub
lican candidate for SECRETARY of state
Gen. Robinson introduced Mr. Blaine
who as soon as he could get an oppor
tunity to speak, said: l am very GLAD
to be welcomed in the home of Gen. Rob
Inson, for the candidacy of Gen. Robin
son as endorsed by this vast assemblage
, is the important prelude TO the Daliona
election of 1884, and the candidacy o
Gen. Robinson, if sustained by Ohio
goes far to settle that contest
I"Good, goodi Well settle IT.
