American nationality, can ever forget the
strength, encouragement and the enthusi-
asm which he brought to the loyal cause
when he forsook his party for his country.
Not precisely in the same phase, but involv-
ing like views, is the contest in
which we are engaged to-day. For, as
we then confronted the south arrayed in war
against the Union, so we confront it now in
an attempt by great combination to seize
the government of this United States and
control it by the same men who rebelled
against it. The reason / refer to that here
and now is that that com bination will be alb
solutely ineffective unless aided by the vote
of New York. and am sure that the county
of Broome and the valley of Susquehanna
will enter an indignant protest against theEm-
pire state being taken out of the great Gordon
of free states, always loyal to the Union to
be Joined with the states of the solid south
This is not mere question of sentiment or
patriotism but question of material interest
The triumph of the south in the contest
would mean the triu,aph of fred trade and
the destruction of the protective system. In
the whole history of that marvellous prosper
ity which has made New York H. most pop-
ular and the most wealthy state in the Union

At Port Jervis Blaine addressed the crowd
as follows:
This town is a center OF railway industry,
and | want to call the attention of the rail
way men, who do me the honor to listen to
me, to the fact that when the Republican
party came into power in the nation there
were not 80, 900 miles of railway in the
country. That was twenty-three wears ago.
There are now nearly 120, 900 miles, and the
railway industry is not merely the capital
employed in the running of trains
but the general employment of men
has increased in even larger proportions
than the four fold ratio of the mileage of the
roads. Is there any man here who doubts
that that out-growth of the railway system of
the country is simply the acurate measure
of the growth of the industries of the coun-
try. industries whose growth is stimulated
by the protective tariff! 1 sec before me men
engaged in various avocaiions. Some of
you in the railway business; some of you in
manufactures and some of you
in farming, but there is not
one of you whose property is
not affected. Not one whose tireside is not
reached by the influence cf the protective
tariff. Men speak of the eiss of New York as
interested in free trade because 1t is a great
commercial metropolis. Why there are five
men, do not know but might safely saw
that there are ten men in the city of New
York, whose bread depends ultimately upon
protective tariff to every one who depends
upon free trade. We are in the habit of
speaking of the commercial cities as though
they had interests antagonistic to the pro-
tective system, New York never had so vast
commerce as she has had since the protec-
tive tariff has been in full operation. And
| since Lincoln was inaugurated the exports
from New York have more than
al hot Sho ho6
from the time when the first
Dutchman set foot on Manhatten Island
down to 1861. 1 certainly would not adyo-
cate the protective system if it injured
any of the great interests of the
country, but the fact is that there never was
time when agriculture, manufactures and
commerce went forward so rapidly or with
so great results, in any nation as in the
United States during the last twenty-three
years under the operation of the protective
tariff.
At Middleton Mr.. Blaine in the course of
his remarks said:
II have just returned from long tour
throught the great prosperous states of the
west, of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin and everywhere. l found
the Republican party united, strong and con-
ident. hope that that is its condition in
IL
in your own ranks, If there have been any
little dissensions, 1 trust that you
will forget them, and that there will be but
one Republican party in the state of New
York. trust that there will be no longer
''half breedsr or ''stalwarts," but only Re-
! publicans; that we shall tolerate no Jealous
les or heartburnings within our ranks, bu.
that In ignoring the differences of the past
we shall all unite in q common and honora-
bic combat against the common enemy of
our party, but as we believe of the prosperity
of the country.
At Paterson there was an immense multi
tude awaiting the arrival OF the train, Ger
tainly not less than 1900 persons. They
had banners and cannon and fireworks, and
when Mr. Blaine appeared they cheered and
yelled so vociferously, and set off their fire.
works so continuously, that it seemed idle to
attempt speech. Hon. William Walter
Phelps introduced Mr.. Blaine, who returned
thanks for his recepsion and urged the peo-
| pie to vote for Mr.. Phelps as their representa-
tive This advice was received With three
cheers for Phelps.
AT Pass2ie there was quite a demonstra-
ton Mr.. Blaine spoke a few words of
! thanks. He said that the most enthusiastic
! Republicans he had met in the west were in
Indiana, and from what he had seen to-
night he was inclined to think the most en-
thusiastic Republicans of the east were in
New Jersey. A very short stop was made at
! Rutherford park, and then at about o'clock
the train ran into the depot at Jersey City
Here the people cheered Mr. Blaine and
crowded around him SO that it was not easy
for the party to get through the ferry house
The ferry company had provided special
boat which carried the party to
