pcnsing with carriages and tho parapher-s
MALTA of procession the local committee
had erected q stand on d flat car, onto
which Mr.. Blaine, stepped from the train
Around the train there was a very large
and enthusiastic meeting OF several thou
sand people. Mr.. Blaine spoke here at
greater length than usual, After calling
attention to the protective tariff as tho
great issue Of the campaign !. and
expressing his belief that Michigan, a
State SO much interested Iii protection

State two or three letters from persons
asking mo to state whether had over

countries ought to take care Of them when
reduced to want instead of shipping them

At the conclusion of3his remarks Mr..
Blaine introduced General Fremont as, the
gallant soldier who had led tho Republican
party in lis first great political conflict,
which, though endingi nonilial defeat, was
really the preparation for its splendid 4
triumph four years later. The appearance
OF the General wnS tie signal for enthusi-.
astic cheering. He returned thanks in Il
brief speech, in. the course 5,oEwhich he !
said: "AIr. Blaine has referred TO
tho fact that 2fhe was 4 d member

me in 1856. The loyal ;ani cordial sup
