Oh, Dear!


cation of 100 merchants and other bust
ness men of Toledo called this morning
to pay their respects to Blaine. The
chairman of the delegation assured
Blaine of the earnest support of the,
business interests of Northwestern Ohio.
Blaine thanked the gentlemen and re-
marked that the Republican ticket was
certainly entitled to the support of
business men, because the contest was
primarily and emphatically a contest
for the preservation and promotion of
the business interests of the country.
At 10 O'Clock the party left on special
for the south.
URBANA, o., September 30.-Blaine
was escorted in carriage by q large
body of Plumed Knights, some on foot
and some on horseback. & novel fea-
ture OF this escort was a troop of
mounted ladies, wearing white plumes.
The people began to gather early in the
forenoon and large meeting had been
addressed in the afternoon by Senator
Sherman. Many thousand people were
assembled round the stand in the CEN
trail square of the city, to which Blaine
was driven. His appearance on
the stand called for an Outburst.
He stood for some seconds viewing the
stirring scene, and then said: "The
most important, of the old confedera-
ton after the Original thirteen states
had acquired their independence, was
the formation of the northwest terri
tories, purposely dedicated to free labor
by the wise statesmen of the revolution
from 1887. That territory, divided
among the five great States, of which
Ohio is the oldest, has been the abode
of AN industrious, honest, intelligent
population. They have maintained
liberty and civil government, and have
acquired great wealth. I see before me
a vast aSsemblage of those who were
born on the soil of that territory, and I
wish to call their attention to this fact,
that of all the great wealth it now repre-
SCENTS, much larger portion has, been
produced and acquired since the Repub-
lican party came into power in 1861.
(Great applauSe.) That wealth has
been produced and acquired I'M
der the influence of a wise financial
system and under the encouragement
of protective tariff, (ReneWed applauss.l

DAYTON, Ohio, September 30.-At ). is
/ the train reached Springfield. This Is
largely manufacturing town and all
the shops had closed in order to give
the wOrkingmen an opportunity to see
Blaine. As soon rs the people gathered
around the depot saw him, they cheered,
shouted and made all kinds of up
rOariOus demonstrations. With diff
Guilty he was got into a carriage and
driven around through the city. Then
| he was brought back to the stand near
the depot, and here the cheering was as
great as before. Within a few minutes
of his appearance upon the stand he
! looked out upon fully, 10000. people
Being introduced. he said: 81 have
the pleasure of addressing community
peculiarly devoted to manufacturing, a
| community deeply interested in the
industrial system of the United States,
a community specially allied with the
agricultural development of the United
States. You manufacture great variety
and q great number of agricultural i'm
plemets. But for the ingenious imple-
ments which you turn out the wheat
crop of the United States could not be
harvested. That wheat crop is SO i'm
mense that its harvesting begins in
Texas in May and proceeds northward
at the rate of about eleven miles pei
day, and winds up in September
on our northern border, running
for more than one hundred days
at about eleven miles per day. Cap
plause.) Now, do you think it good
policy to have these agricultural nipple
mentS imported from abroad? Or dc
you prefer TO make them at home? CA
home!O Well, my friends, there is one
policy of government that encourage:
their manufacture at home "a voice
That's Blaine's.) and there is another
that would send their manufacture
abroad. This latter policy would force
great numbers now engaged in manu-
featuring to turn farmers, and thus
still further glut the wheat market
increasing productions and decreasing
consumption at home, and necessaril!
reducing the profits of agriculture. YOl
have the opportunity, at the approach
, ing election, to tell which policy yoJ
think best, and 1 do not believe tina
; you need any instruction from me as II
your interest or your duty" (Enthu
SiaStic cheers.) "
At Dayton Blaine received a torch
light procession and spoke briefly. H
will visit the Soldiers Home tomorrow
Thence he will go to Cincinnati.
