 MAssILLoN, O., Oct. 9-Mr. Blaine slept well last night and arose this morning at A carriage drawn by four white horses con- veyed him from Canton to Massillon, dis tance of eight miles, making an enjoyable trip. MT. Blaine preferred this mode of travelling rather than by rail, the drive af- fording agreeable change. This is the biggest political field day ever known in the history of Stark county. At 10 a. m the streets were densely packed with people. The Akron delegation alone numbered four thou sand persons and long trains arrived every few minutes during the morning. Nearly every business block and residence decorated. The streets were impossible. Hundreds will be unable to find food or bed Upwards of one hundred thousand people thronged the streets. The mammoth parade was to have started at Il @. m., but the crushing mass of humanity in the streets prevented any move ment on the part of the procession. Blaine and his party arrived this morning in car riages. The town is too small by half to &C., commodate the enormous crowds The pro- cession started shortly before noon. Blaine's party reviewed the parade from the grand stand. There were over ten thousand. men in line. Portraits of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield were displayed. Just as the parade closed a heavy rain storm swept over the town. Thousands of people were unable to secure shelter.
 This afternoon was cold and stormy. Ten thousand people gathered in a large tent in the fair grounds. The crowd was the most enthusiastic that has yet greeted the Blaine party. Judge Penney was the first to speak. MT. Blaine upon being introduced said:
 In political procession at Youngstown there ap- peared among those who made up the procession man and woman dressed in rags and bearing tion did for us.'' That was meant to typify what protection did in Ohio. Now want to present the other side of this declaration In the State of Ohio there thirty-one thousand manufactures repre- senting cost of $2O0 0,000 and turning out an- nualy product worth S35O, ,00000O. Out of the re suits of that investment and that product observe great many people in Ohio who are not in rags Daughter and applause) Some thrty-five or forty years ago the entire western country called an agricultural community and protective tariff something favoring the manufacturing East. The manufacturing interests have traversed westward until Ohio is one of the largest manufae turing States in the Union She represents all of the ele ments of human progress and human comfort. All of the western States, Iowa. Kansas Minnesota and designed that the two interests should be hand in hand. Now is this industrial crisis which combines the highest elements of human prosperity by uniting the agricultural and manufacturing interests worth preserving? It is worth while to note that political opponents have never failed in the last twenty years to aid in the repeal of protective tariff laws. We met by the accusation that protective tariff injures the commerce of the country more i'll the East than in the West The answer give to this is, since the en- actment of the law in 1851 the exports of this try have been greater than all of the exports from the time of the Plymouth Rock settlement and of the settlement at Jamestown in 1890 clear down to the time of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. It is in your power, men of Ohio, to maintain pro tective tariff Applause) The State of Ohio speaks her will Tuesday next and in this district you have the opportunity of electing to Congress one of the ablest opponents of protective tariff and one of the brightest men in Ohio. thank you for this cordial reception and bid you good bye.
 For five minutes after MT. Blaine conclud- ed there was the widest applause and en- spoke for half an hour. Major Mckinley, Senators Windom and Cullom and Emory Storrs were the other speakers. A torehlight procession paraded tonight MT. Blaine and party leave Canton for Columbus tomorrow morning.
