COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 9-There were few peo-
pie at the depot at Mansfield, but there several
thousand assembled in the square in the heart
of the town, 10 which Mr.. Blaine was escorted
In the usual manner. Mr.. Hedges, the Republi-
can candidate for congress, having introduced
him as the next president of the United States
Mr.. Blaine said;
l object to my friend introducing me
in that way. We will talk about that after
Tuesday next. But see good auguries for
Tuesday in the fact that the people of ohio seem
TO be thoroughly aroused. In all my political
experience / have never seen people ap-
parently more thoroughly awake to their duty
than the people of Ohio seem to be at this time.
Your duty In this campaign is exceptionally i'm
portant. You have both your own immediate
duty and vicarious duty. You are 10 vote on
Tuesday next not only for yourselves but for the
whole United States. You are to set the mark
for the Republican high tide. l confess I have
great confidence in the vote of Ohio. for since
the election OF Salmon p. Chase as governor OF
your state in 1855, have never known a year
when Ohio was aroused that she did not give a
Republican majority. Nou have never had be-
fore you . more distinct issue than you have
this year. There has never been a
more clean cut division between the
parties at the beginning of i politi-
cal campaign. \ great many Issues are in the
peoples minds, but as the contest grows serious
they begin to eliminate the incidental points Ead
finally, as the parties converge and come face to
face, there is alwsys one great overshadowing
issue that controls the multitude of voters 1
assume that the issue of the present year il the
protective tariff, and I am sure there is not
state in the Union that has prodted more under
the protective system, OF that is more deeply in
terested in its maintenance than Ohio. That be-
ing the case and with the further
COuditiOn tDaL ONO ranks nirh
in intelligence az any state in the Union.
II cannot be doubted that you will see your wav
clear TO protect and maintain your own interests
do not stop 10 argue other questions. lido not
stop even to dwell for moment on the achieve
ments OF the Republican party, on what it has
done for the Union, for the cause OF free govern
Inent for the cause Of human liberty. do not
dwell on these because do not choose - divert
