DETROIT, Oct. 14.-Mr Blaine arrived at
the Woodward avenue railroad station at 8
O'Clock and at once went over the line of
march. The cavalcade was followed by a
long line of carriages Around the City
Hall the crowd was dense. There were large
delegations from all over the State. Mr.
Blaine, looking rather tired, dotted his hat
in acknowledgment as the party passed on.
An immense throng awaited Mr.. Blaine's ar
rival on the campus. Men on horseback
were sent among the crowd to announce that
he was too tired to speak, but would appear
in an hour or two The crowd about the
Russell House continued to grow in size de-
spite the fact that Mr. Blaine would not ap-
pear until $50. Whea he finally came for
ward there were fifteen thousand people
waiting to greet him. Mr.. Blaine said:
The only political speech in order tonight is the
returns from Ohio. / take this assemblage as an
evidence of the feeling of the people of Michigan
toward the national struggle It Is not only evil
dence, it is conclusive There not enough DEM
